pre~ers County.

Prcwers county did not meet the
expectations Of her republican
friends, in all respects, yet when we
compare her vote with that of others
in the state and in this valley, we
have reason to congratulate ourselves
that it is no worse.
She was carried for Weaver. tits
true, by the united efforts OF the
democratic and peoples party, but
by SO small majority as to be insig-
nificent On the other hand. she
gave Swink a majority of 15 which
nearly equals that he received in his
own county; and she gave Funder-
burgh plurality nearly three tizses
as large as his own county. She
elected the republican county judge
and all precinct officers, and lost the
commissioner by only dozen votes.
So while we wish it had been better,
we can BEE how it might have been
very much worse.
There was much hard and faithful
work done in every precinct for the
whole ticket, and more of it was
done by the young republicans than
in any previous election Prowers
county is all right The most of the
republicans who left us to cast a
vote for Weaver will return to their
first love, aud next fall we will roll
up an old time majority.

NERO AND THE BABY.

Edith Sessions Upper Tells of Fright She
Got One Christmas Day-A Big Dog
Was a Child's Guardian Angela Pretty
Picture.
I think the happiest Christmas of my life
was brought me by baby and cog. 1t
was a. curious story. 1 was spending the
holidays at my old home in the country.
We were preparing for genuine old-fash-
ioned family Christmas, with turkey. plum
pudding, mince pies, tree and presents ga
lore. All the sisters, brothers and cousins
were there; delightful air of expectancy
brooded over everything; mysterious whis-
pers and continual exchange of condolences
were going on.
The altogether most delightful feature of
the occasion was the presence of little
Eleanore, the first baby of the entire circle,
who was bowed down to and worshiped by
uncles, aunts and cousins She was lovely
child; not beauty, but winsome and charm
ing, brim full of mischief and possessing
quaint little ways all her own.
She was just beginning to talk and her
funny little gibberIsh was a never ceasing
fund of amusement. Of course she was
greatly interested in the Christmas prepara-
tions, and watched the arrangement of the
evergreens and wreaths with childish de-

some time been given a drum by his
dearest friend and closest confdant-
his father? The drum that received then
was almost as large as l, and the very first
use to which 1 put it was that of steplad-
der. MY ambition at that moment was
to reach the lofty altitude of an arm chair.
The drumhead, however, refused to sus-
tain me, and fell through with bang.
How long I might have remained there 1t
is impossble to say, for never coald have
extricated myself alone. The hearty laugh
in which my tather INDUCED when he res
cued me from my predicament is still
bright spot in my recollection.
1 remember very distinctly a story that
my father once told me about an incident of
his own boyhood. had climbed upon his
knee one Christmas eve and asked for 1t.
"What is the first Christmas that you re-
member" was my question.
''Oh, it is a very long time ago, )" an
swered nv father. "Your grandfather gave
a dinner to his old friend, Daniel Webster.
Although I was scarcely out of dresses 1
had been entrusted by the butler with the
very responsible function of decanting the
Madeira. The manner in which 1 per-
formed the task was revealed later on,
when the great statesman, after slipping
his wine in evident dismay, suddenly said:
excellence of your Madeira, but this is the
most extraordinary wine ever tasted. 1
hope the spirit of Dan Webster has forgiven
me- In my zeal had mixed the sherry with
his best Madeira"
Another incident which 1 have to recall,
for it made great impression upon me, oc-
Cured some years later had grown
almost to manhood. My father, older in
years of course, was still the same bright,
happy influence, filing the hours always
with the consciousness of his presence and
love. The chimes of neighHoring church
were rung at midnight to welcome the ami
versary of Christ's birth. had been up
very late enjoying the happiness of Christ
mas eve, and hearing the bells I opened
the window to listen to them. Directly be-
meath me espied my father, who was look
ing out of the window. too.
"HeIlo!' cried. "What are you doing
trying to catch cold?"
"Hello, boyp' he answered. "I always
like to hear Christmas bells, for 1 feel so
grateful to our God that he made the day
possibility"
I have never forgotten that remark and
the reverent manner in which it was ut
tered. The crisp night air and the ringing
chimes impressed it viv;dly upon my mem
ory. That dear, good friend, my father,
speaks to me yet in those words, even
though he, has gone to be with Him who
made Christmas possibility.

: HE RETURNED A HERO.

Amelia E. Barr Tells a Story Of Prodi-
gal Son and His Welcome Home-The
English Victories at Ehyber Pass Re-
called.
Christmas has not only personal flavor;
it has national one, derived from some
event which at that time fills the public
heart On Christmas, 1843, was at Broom
Hall, Northumberland, a girl of 9 years
old, precociously observant and sympa-
thetic; therefore trembling and weeping to
the great interest of the day-the sufferings
and dangers of the women and children
with the British army in Cabul. had heard
the thrilling story of the struggle through
the frozen pass of Khoord- -Cabul. had
followed in imagination the heroic death of
the army who perished to q man there amid
its hunger, cold and treachery, and of the
women and children who as hostages and
prisoners were hurried from fort to fort
while Generals Sale and Pollock and Sir
Richmond Shakespeare were forcing the
Khyber Pass for their relief.
And Just before this Christmas had come
the news that they had been saved-that
husbands and wives and children had met
again, while soldiers cheered and the mount
ain train guns roared out royal salutes and
the English flag was once more set blowing
from the Bala Hissar of Cabul. All the
talk was of these events, and strange stories
were told of dreams and omens and pre-
sentiments relating to them. And liked this
better than the old cumbrous ceremonies
which were still kept intact in that lonely
hall, and which indeed greatly wearied the
Squire, though he would not forbid them.
But as soon as dinner was over he escaped
to his private parlor, where he proposed to
go comfortably to sleep as usual over his
evening paper.
But this night something awakened his
heart, and he could not shut his eyes and
forget. Twelve years before his son Willy
had left him in passion. His mother had
hoped and watched and died calling him
home, but Willy had never answered the
call-and he had now been forgotten. At
this day his father seldom remembered the
face that had been so beloved, and his
sisters sighed and spoke of something else.
This Christmas night, the Squire told us
afterward, he could not get Willy out of
his mind. He kept reminding himself of
the lad-how he could run and wrestle and
ride and hunt how the men envied him and
the women loved him, aud how proud he
himself had been of his beauty and clev-
erness. He became nervous with the iter-
alton of the same thought, and finally took
the handkerchief off his face and stood up.
The room had grown dark and the fire low.
He rang for wood and man entered with
an armful of ash logs. The Squire said:
'Is that you, Baldy?" and the fellow an
swered: "My name is William. 1 be new
man, sir.
The logs began to blaze, the Squire
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1892-12-25

looked at the stranger, and when he raised
himself from the hearth he said: "Who are
you, William? Where do you come from?"
Then the man looked at his master, looked
straight into his eyes, and the Squire trem-
bled and went closer. ''Let me see you, F"
he said hoarselv. ''Let me see your face"
And the new man said, softly:
"Father!'
And the Squire told US that something
within him laughed joyously, and that he
felt as if it was growing dark, but that in
the shadows he heard voice saying,
"Father, forgive mel" and that then he had
to speak, and the words, the only words he
could say were:-'Forgive thee, Willy!
torgave thee many year agO!" and with
that he came to himself fully and he was
sitting in his chair and fine young cavalry
officer was kneeling at his knee and the
servant in the smock frOck had disappeared,
and he asked, quickly "Where is my
Willy?"
Then he found out that Willy had only
put on the smock frock to see if Willy
would be welcome for WHY'S own sake;
for he had become great soldier, and had
been with Sale and Pollock, and had taken
his full share in all the brave deeds that had
been done that famous year in India.
The company were dancing money
musk" under the holly and mistletoe boughs
when the Squire and his handsome son
came into their presence again. And all
the lovely young girls looked at him, and
some of the married women, remembering
his face, broke the dance up with glad
cry, and surrounded both the father and the
son with noisy joy. But I noticed that
Willy very soon passed to the side OF the
beautiful Adelaide PIessy and said some
thing to her in a whisper, and she smiled at
him for reply and gave him her hand. And
after that Chistmas really began, and the
singing and dancing and teasting and
frolicking that had been only social neces-
sity became something very much different
ard very much happier.
1t is forty-nine years ago, and yet but
few months since 1 met gray haired
woman who had been my companion at
Broom, and she recalled with me every
emotion and event, and added:
"Yes, they were married, Willy and
Adelaide, and though some of US have been
but poorly used since, as far as 1 know they
lived happily ever afterwsrd. q"

The joys of the Day in Her Fathers House
Long Years Ago.

The Joys of the Day in Her Fathers House
Long Years Ago.
With me the memory of the Christmas
holidays of my child and girlhood will ever
be one of the most sacred and sweet of my
life, from the larks of the school children,
when was one of them, in barring In or out
the teacher till he or she gave us holiday
and a treat, to the blessed Christmas morn
ing when we all flew into father and
mothers room screaming Merry Christ
masp' to find the 13 pairs of well-flled
stockings hanging round the broad old fire.
place, and to receive the warm embraces of
those revered and indulgent parents.
1 can never forget the happy hours that
followed in displaying our treasures, nor
coming to the table to see father and
mother open the numberless packages that
we used to prepare for theml
The hours that we brothers and sisters
spent in planning and executing our sur
prises for mother, father and each other,
with the merry episodes, mIshaps and sue
cesses and pleasures, will cling to us ever
more.
The madcap fun we used to have, sleigh
riding, and the merry dancing and candy
pulling with the troops of boys and girls
that were our friends!
How well we remember the sparkling
wood fire In the ample old fireplace, with
rows of apples toasting before it, the great
dishes OF popcorn, popped in a covered
kettle, so white and fresh and tender; the
)sweet, rich nuts and the crystal cider for
the evenings when we assembled in each
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1892-12-25

when the sleighing was excellent-it was
about the winter of 1880, 1 think-when
we we're all together at the old home. Moth
ing can ever efface the memory of that day
from my mind, for to us it began on the
evening before and ended the morning
after December 25.
can sec the old kitchen now where we
spent Christmas Eve together, cracking
nuts, pulling candy, with pitcher of
mulled cider on the table, while the smoke
begrimed walls and ceiling of the quaint
old room rang with laughter and light
hearted frolic. There was, of course, the
usual contingent of fiddlcs-we never called
them violins in those days-and when the
nuts were cracked and the candy pulled the
|. floor was cleared and tun ran riot in that
old house until nearly daylight We
danced, we sang, we told stories, we PLAYED
the good old-fashioned kissing games like
''Snap-and- Catch 'em," 1.-THE Needles
Eve" "Postoffice' and dozen others that
1 have forgotten, and the old folks enjoyed
them just as much as the young ones
1t was nearly daylight when we went to
bed, but we were up and at It again bright
and early Christmas morning just the same
remember that there were a few simple
presents exchanged, but in those days such
things were given more as mementos than
tor the purpose of demonstrating the status
of the donors fortune, as seems to be the
custom now. The presents that pleased me
most on the occasion to which refer were
a pair of suspenders from nv father and
some soft, thick mittens from my mother.
The morning was spent in talking over
the glorious time of the preceding night and
in laughing, chatting, playing jokes and
telling stories.
Then dinneri
What gathering it was, to be surei The
table in ordinary use was not half large
enough to seat the company or to acccmmo-
date the viands, and our ingenuity was put
to the test to make it larger. What din
ner it was There was wild turkey, coon,
rabbit pie and ''possum, with vegetables
galore, mulled cider, tea and coffee and such
pies as only mans mother ever succeeded
in manufacturing. 1 don't think woman
ever learns to make pie until she has son
who is old enough to appreciate it.
After dinner nobody wanted to move;
everybody had eaten too much. Gradually,
however, digestion got in its work and we
came to life again. In the middle of the
afternoon we boys got the horses and sleighs
ready. That consisted in filling the boxes
boxes on traverse sleds and hitchiEg tour
house to house, picking up all the boys and
girls in the neighborhood and piling them
into the boxes pell-mell
can hear those sleigh bells now-some
of them were COW bells to be sure-I can
hear the shouts of laughter, the singing,
the witty sayings; can feel the fun of that
day to this hour.
What a ride we had, covering about 20
miles! One rig was overturned in snow
bank, and it looked for an instant as though
a dozen enterprising BARRIERS had begun
business in that region. We dug the girls
out, however, put them back in their sleigh
and drove on, happy, merry, full of life and
energy.
We reached our destination about dark
