sANTA's VISIT TO ALICE.

Alice had been cut for II lnay ride
in the Park and came home just in
time for dinner, with IL very good APP
petite. After dinner she wandered in
to the library. No one was there. The
gas was not lighted, but there was o
jolly open fire, with 4 big cushioned
chair in front OF it.
"Now, that is a good place to sit
down all alone and have a good think"
said Alice to herself. So she curled
herself up very comfortably and be-
gan to think. OF course, it was quite
natural that she should think about
Christmas, and that is exactly what
she did.
Il wonder what Santa Claus will
bring me-, :" was, her first thought, and
then she began to name oyer to her.
self all the things she would like TO
have.
All Mt once there came n s%crambling
and scratching and sneezing, and be-
fore she could wen wonder what il was
out popped funny little figure and
stood in front of her. A little short,
lat man-vcry short, only about two
feet tall, and very fat. He looked
about the shape of y pillow. His face
was round and red, and his eyes were
black and twinkly; his hair and beard
were white, but the SCOT of the CHM
ney had made him ali black. He had
a funny peaked cap on his head. and a
suit of fuzzy stuff that looked like
snow.
"Hallo!" said he. and then he began
to sneeze violently. You must ex-
cusc me, Alice, but really you've got
an uncommon lot of SCOT in your CHM
ney."
All this time Alice had been gazing
at the funny little man in utter aston
ishment. but he seemed to feel so much
at home and to be so well acquainted
with her she concluded not to be
afraid.
"Who are you?' she asked. "and
where did you come fromy
The little mar locked at her as if he
thought she had asked two very silly
questions.
WHO am l? Well, / like that. I
guess you're the only child in the world
who doesn't know me. I'm Santa
Claus, of course, and ! came down the
chimney. Didn't you see me?"

rho Bashfal Mans Blunder.

d bashful young man had q tender
regard for the daughter Of a certain.
Warmer living not q great many miles
from this city. The young man in
question had acquired the habit OF
visiting the young lady, who was the
subject OF his affection, on Sunday at
ternoon. As time wore on the young
man began to feel more at home on his
visits to the farmhouse, and from an
occasional stopping for supper it grew
to be the regular thing with him to eat
.aupper with his prospective parents-in-
law. This was very agreeable to the
young man, but quite the contrary to
the parents-in-law.
He was treated coolly by tho old
folks. but the warmth Of his feel
ings for tho young lady and the re-
ciprocity by the young lady was such
that a slight GOODNESS was not felt.
Upon one Of the occasions when the
young man was taking Sunday supper
with the family the good housewife had
prepared a bountiful supply of bis
cults. When they had seated thcm-
selves at the table the prospective
father-in-law passed tho plate of bis
cults to the .bashful young man.
Lave n blScult!" he said.
The bashful Young man set one OF
the ~steanling biscuits beside his plate.
slave another, they're SMALL" the
father-in-law said.
The bashfnl young man timidly took
another and placed it beside the first.
"Have another. they're very small"
Again the young man. lacking the
courage to decline, took a biscuit.
The father-in-law to-be then dumped
the whole contents Of the plate in front
of the young man, with the remark,
"Take them all. you hogl"
The bashful young man stopped his
visits, and biscuits for supper always
cause a smile to 60 round the table at
the Observation-Disclosures Joarnal.

OUR LOSS.
How Arizona Lost . Deep Water Harbor and . Rich
 Country.

A gentleman stopping in Tomb stone. who is posted regarding Mexi. can grants and treaties better than any other person in the country, has given the PR0sPEcToR some valuable information.
 The wording of the treaty by which Arizona was ceded to the United States by Mexico VA. loosely drawn. otherwise we would have enjoyed the distinction of having . deep water harbor. The line which leaves No gales and makes an angle at that point by taking . more northerly course until it reached the Colorado river should have kept on . continu. ous straight line, which was the intent of the agreement with Mexico. It was arranged to give Arizona deep water harbor on the Gulf of Mexico by mAk- ing the treaty read that the boundary shoull be drawn in a straight line from Nogales to point 20 miles be- low the mouth Of the Colorado river. Alter the papers were drawn up and signed 1t was observed that the read ing had been changed to make the line run to point 20 miles below the mouth of the Gils river.
 Beside getting the hsrbor of Port Isabel and 20 miles of deep water coast Arizona also lost some of the best land in Sonora. It WIS consid- cred in the days when the treaty was signed that Arizona soil was not worth a cent a quarter section. and the mat ter was dropped without cop.esting.
 Now that the discovery has been made that the land which ths United States gave up 10 Mexico by t,is error is worth more per acre for the Srow- ing of tropical fruits than any otSer part of America, it seems as thougA our government should take some steps to recover it evsu though a few million dollars were necessary to move the line to where it properly belongs. It is worth sgitating.
