No MORE INNovATIoNs.-When his
honor the mayor (who is ourselO first
occupied his official desk in the city
hall he used revolver as a paper
weight, and things were running along
in smooth and gentle way when the
mayor of Buffalo happened out this
way. The paperweight attracted his
attention, and he read us a moral lee
ture. He thought there was 4 certain
abandon about the matter incompatible
with the dignity OF the Office. We took
the advice of a tenderioot for the first
time in five years and replaced the re-
volver with q piece OF quartz silver.
The other day, rs we We're preparing
veto, stranger walked in and covered
us with his gun. He was a slow going
chap, and had our Old paperweight been
in place we could have got the drop on
him. AS it was, he covered rs and pro-
ceeded to make US eat dirt. No enc
happened to come in, and FOR ten min
utes he obliged Us 10 call ourself q thief
liar, swindlcr, dcadboat and a heap
of other unpleasant things. What
grieved US more than all else was 10 be
forced to declare that Tie Kic&cr had
only one-iuurth the circulation OF its
wretched contemporary, and that we
stood in bodily fear of the postmaster Of
this town. When the fellow had fooled
with Us 10 his hearts content he back
ed out, ran down stairs and galloped
out of town. We hunted for him, Of
course, but he was not to be found, and
it brings tears to our eyes to think We
may never see him again. Ourrevolyer
has been restored to It's place as pa
perweight. We shall steer clear ofany
further innovations. II the mayor OF
Cleveland or Cincinnati CT st. Lonis
happens along here and doesn't like the
look of things it viii make no difference
TO us. We don't propose 10 drop IS
per cent Of our dignity with dull thud
Just because those eastern mayors fail
to understand lis as peopie.-TAe Ari-

"One of the prettiest and heart-moving
incidents occurred, !" said Alvan Hard
ing to st. Louis Globe-DcmocTot man.
"as 1 came through from Denver TO ST.
Louis. l was compelled toride through
the Christmas Eve and the best part of
Christmas Day, along with crowd Of
other ill-fated citizens, much to ny dis
gust and regret. In the through Pail
man were number Of ladies' and gen
tlemen. but, best OF all, a widow and 4
pretty little daughter. | half wonder
ed what the pretty little girl vas TO
have for Christmas, seeing that no
chimney led down from the roof, but
INV speculations were rather vague, and
forgot the little girl to think Of my
own dear relatives. Christmas Eve,
when the berths were let down and the
passengers began TO retire, came in TO
look after my own. As strolled down
the aisle l saw u tiny little stocking
hanging outside the berth where the lit
tie girl lay with her mother. tell you,
the effect was electrical. 1t brought up
all kinds OF strange feelings, and l adj
ded my share to the general contribu
ton. Old Santa Claus must have been
en- route to St. Louis that night. for the
way he stuffed and damned that stock
ing full of fruit, candy, money, trinkets
and the like, and then filled handkcr-
chiefs until they were great round balls
and tied them on, was simply wonder
ful. 1t did seem as though Santa Claus
had no one else in the world to take
care of. Next morning | enjoyed
watching the widow and the little one.
They were the especial pets OF the occa-
sion, and everyone came round and said
something kind to the child. But the
effect on the passengers generally was
the best of all. 1t brought them togeth
er, and every one said merry Christmas
and wished everybody else all kinds of
good luck until we were all well ac-
quainted and thoroughly sociable. |
tell you it takes little children to bind
human hearts together and make the
world one genial, happy family
