THREE CHRISTMAS CHIMES.

Hearl1en! how the Christmas chime
Sings on earth its song sublime!
See those twain their weary feet
Wander through the village street.
Doors are closed against the stranger.
See tie Child, the meek and lowly,
Christ, the mighty, the all-holy,
Sleeping Graded in manger." @y
Sing your joy, O Christmas chime!
Let us keep the Christmas time,
Be the loafof plenty doled,
Be the poor mans heart consoled
Thus we keep the Christmas time.
Hearken! still the Christmas chime
Rings on earth its song sublime!
"Wonderlng shepherds see the night
Flooded with celestial Light
Wondering hear the angel message:
Come and let us kneel before him,
Let us find him and adore him.
Peace on earth this child doth presaSe.
Sing your joy, Christmas chime!
Let us keep the Chrstmas-time.
Let all strife and hatred cease.
Kindess i've, good will and peace.
Thus We keep the Christmas time.
Hearken! still the Christmas chime
Sings on earth its song sublime!
Eagerly the Magi sped
BY the wOndrOus star beam led
Gold and myrrh, an incense offer.
He brings most, yes he the highest
Draweth unto God the Highest,
Who a heart oflove doth proffer."
Sing your joy, o Christmas chime!
Let us keep the Christmas time;
Love shall be the law to bind
In one band the human kind.
Thus we keep the Christmas-time.

A CHRISTMAS STORY.

II was Christmas
night, 1884," con-
tinued PlunketTS,
"When I first seed
Peter Simpson,
though it had been
norated GROUND
for some time
that there was er
stranger in the
settlement, and
that he was erkin
to old Billy
Brooks, and was
ergwyne to settle
ermong us if he
could find er place
to suit him. i"

Brown drew his chair up closer to
the old man and rem arked:
'"Them war the days when you
played the fiddle, and I hadn't much
to brag on myself nor on my kin, but
never seed no music that come Up
to Sugar in the Gourd' when I was
er handling the straws and you was
er pulling OF the bow"
"Pve seed the day I could fairly
make er fiddle talk" nodded Plunkett,
and then continued:
"On the Christmas night OF 1884,
thar was party at old man Jimmy
Lawrence's, and we'd all gathered and
the young folks had played er game er
two OF SIGH as Thin ble', and limo
thy Tuberbutin,' and Snap OUT till
at last they gathered partners and be-
gan to walk GROUND and GROUND, and
Peter he was there stranger and he
didn't have no partner and wasn't er
having nothing to do with the walking
GROUND. So Lucy Coats, as good er
girl as ever lived in Georgia, wanted to
make him feel at home, and 80 she
axed him to be the middle fellow
"Ihat's the way the play is. They
all have partners but one. The odd
one gets in the middle as they all walk
Ground and sing, and when they git
to the part in the song where it says
Right here III find her they all change
partners and the middle man has the
right to jump beside some of the girls
% if he is quick enough and then that
fellow that loses his girl gets in the
middle, and so it goes"
"Oh, know that old play" spoke
Brown, at the same time drawing his
chair little nearer to the old man.
"Well," continued Plunkett, "Peter
he got in the middle, and the young
sters walked Ground and GROUND er
singing so as you could er heerd 'em a
mile:
ut rains nst and it halls, and it's cold stormy
Along comes the farmer drinking all the
cider;
I'll reap the oats and who'll be the bind
lost my true love and right here I'll
T.. find her.
"And then the change come and
Peter he throwed himself GROUND and
got by the side of Lucy, and he told
me since that he loved her from that
very mint"
Old man Brown was unable to con-
tain himself longer and he remarked:
md Lucy made him as good or
wife as ever man had"
Plunkett frOWned at being disturbed
but soon continued:
"The young folks went on with their
playing-frst one thing and then an
other-till pretty soon they got part
ners and went walking GROUND and
Ground ergin, singing:
Every we'll done, said Johnnie Brown,
This is the way to London town;
Stand you still, stand you by,
Till you hear the watchman cry.
ION this carpet you must kneeJ,
Kiss your true love in the field,
Kiss the one that you love best
Just before she goes to rest.
sPretty soon," continued Plunkett,
"they cried out, Seat your partners
and Peter and Lucy was right close to
me and Lucy she turned and lowed:
8 Mr.. Plunkett, let me make you
acquainted with Mr. Simpson. ~
"Then Peter he shook hands erlong
with me and took er seat by me, and
it warn't no time till me and him was
p just like old friends, and he lived by
me er long time and I never had er
truer friend or better neighbor, and
Christmas makes me think erbout
these old times and these old neigh
bors that have passed away forever.

The Ladies Did w ell.
Last evening the Ladies Aid SocieI

Last evening the Ladies Aid Society gave its first entertainment in the the shape of a festival, which consist ed in tableaus, recitations, declama- tions, music, fireworks, cake and ice cream. It would be impossible to rnumerate everything that was good The program was excellent. The actors did well, the music was fine and all in all it was a success. Among those who deserve special men, tion are Ygnacio, little son, of our well-known citizen, J. M. Molina, Charlie and Sam. De Corse, the misses, Nellie Stacy, Hattie Antrim, June Chandler, Mabel Morris Ida Fredley, Mrs. O. M. Smith and Mrs. 4. 0. Antrim, Mir. D. HeyI looked we'll in "Love's First Dream" Harry Carpenter sang "Marguerite," and ''In Old Madrid" beautifully and with his old time gusto Clara and Lizzie, the little daughters of Mr. and Mrs. s. $ Gillespie were beautiful in their pretty costumes, and perfect in their delineations of the characters they so we'll represented. There were many others, and in fact all deserve great praise for the beautiful, unique and pleasant entertainment. The cake and ice cream were delicious. The Courthouse was beautifully trimmed and the colored and fancy lights gave a fine effect to the tablraus. The ladies of Yuma are to be thanked for their successful efforts in this good work. Rev. J. A. Crouch, Mr. Man der and other gentlemen worked lik' beavers, while the Madames F. $ Antrim, T. E. Wilkinson, c. B Mander, Dr. Taggart, Frank Ingalls, and others are to be praised for the pleasant festival afforded to so many
 Little Connie Mayes and Stella Hornbeck, deserve special mention anG credit for the accomplished manner ir which they performed their parts.
 The silver medal for which the children contested was awarded tC little Stella. Had there been two medals, Connie would certainly have secured one of them, The recei pts of the festival amounted to little over $ll0.

A Pleasant Picnfc.

Saturday came and so did the young people of Yuma and their picnic. Never dawned a more lovely day. The fervent rays of the summers sun were tempered by a lovely sea breeze from the Gulf of Cortez. The two combined made the day, one ofYuma's many, most exquisite. The party was a large one, numbering over 100. After the preIiminaries were gone through with, on the picnic grounds, the company adjourned to the beautiful yard which sur rounds the residence of Mrs. Hodges, and all joined in the fes- tivities of the merry making time. The department of law and justice was presided over by Sheriff NJ. J. Nugent, we cannot yet call him Delegate or Governor Nugent, and Dept. Sheriff Frank Burke, both of whom had their lady friends with them, and they are a host. Navi- gation was we'll represented by Capt. E. E. Stacy of the little steamer Electric and his lovely daughter Nellie.
 The railroad of southwestern Arizona was we'll cared for by Capt. Joe Godfrey, Charlie Ott, Cal, Green, Operator Cuwles and others whose names are not at hand. The Native Sons and daughters were represented by Pablo Pino, Luis Oveida and other Native Sons, with large number of Yuma's Native Daughters.
 Mines and mining were taken care nf by P. B. and Wm. Hodges and Alex. Swift, live stock and dairy by Frank, Albert and George Hodges. The military, journalism and Yuma's 400. sent no represen- tatives, although all received invi- tations.
 
 Six boats and the stringed orches- tra added much to the enjoyment of the day. Dancing was enjoyed in the shade of that venerable old mesquite tree that stands in Mrs. Hodges yard, while the boats piled to and fro over the silvery surface of tressle work bay.
 The dinner was excellent, the lemonade and ice cream all that could be wished, and when served by the young ladies present noth- ing better could have been present. ed to satisfy the wants of the in ner man.
 To tell all would make the story too long. To say the least. it was one of, if not the most pleasant social party, ever enjoyed by the young people of Yuma and vicinity.

Tried Et Again.

Thursday morning about two o'clock, just after prison guard Frank Hartlee had taken his post at the northwest corner lookout on the prison wall, he thought that he heard noise in that corner which was somewhat unusual. At once lie took his gun, put in cartridge and walked slowly down the wall. Just about this time, a fire which had been smothering in some rubbish in the yard blazed up and flashed faint light into the corner where Hartlee was watching. Soon by the light he spied what seemed to be Q ladder agaiSst the wall. and as he got nearer he saw the form of man, trying to climb up the ladder. drawing his gun on the object and calling out, sure enough there Was Francisco Lopez trying tor the third time to. make his escape. By some means he had been missed when tho prisoners were locked into their cells for the mig Int and had taken short pieces of wood and tied them to a scantling and then had raised it against the wall. It seems that he must have been up on the wall before he was discovered for he answered Hartlee, when called to, by saying: Don't shoot, don't shoot" When he was asked what he was doing ht said, "l wanted to get away but the wall was so high I was afraid tc jump" Tom Hicks, the yardmaster saw the light and came out just il time to assist Hartlae in case he need ed help. Twice before has Lopez goi away or tired to do SO. He is the one who struck guard Mike Rice with hackle, while working on tht levee and who was stopped by Hart lee from getting away.

EMtefed Into Rest.

Miss Loretta Sortillon, beloved daughter of Alexandra and Fran cisca SortiIlon and a member of the Sodality of the Children of Mary, died on Friday, aged 13 years and 4 months. Her funeral, which was attended by a large gathering of our people was held at the Catholic Church yesterday. Father Gheldorf officiating.
 Delicate in health, of frail con- stitution, a long and patient Chris tian sufferer, Loreta finally yielded up her young life to the fell de- stroyer, death. Very seldom does one chance to meet, one SO young, who was so we'll fitted to live or to die. Thus early in life had she consecrated herself to the noble work of trying to do all she could for the church, and for the society of which she was already a beloved and honored member. The ad- dress of Miss Dolores Redondo President of the Society, given in beautiful Spanish, was oneof which her friends may we'll feel proud and which the relatives of the de parted may well preserve and cherish, The requiem mass, ad dress of Father Gheldorf and the music, were in keeping with tht life of one sc we'll beloved, and g warning to all present, that while in the whirl of the busy cares O an active life, we are in the mids
 of death. Her remains were laic to rest in the Catholic cemetery.

- --------------- In sho Nick of Time.

The nick of time to stop the course of bladder and kidney com- plaints is when the organs con- cerned exhibit tendency to grow inactive. The healthful impulse toward activity that they receive from Hostetter's Stomach Bitters rescues them from impending dan ger, and averts such dangerous maladies as Bright's disease and diabetes. Sluggishness of the kidneys increases a liability to chronic rheumatism, gout ard dropsy, and since the blood is filtered by these organs in its pas sage through them, the operation of the Bitters serves a doubly happy purpose. The medicine acts without exciting, like the fiery stimulants of commerce. Malarial, dyspeptic, constipated and nerv- ous invalids are thoroughly re- lieved by it. Since the advent of that shocking malady, la grippe, it has been widely demonstrating it's usefulness as a curative and preventive it.
