A Merry Christmas.
Waahiuoton IRVING

Hark! throughout Christendom Joy bells are
ringing.
From mountain and valley, o'er land and
Ger sea.
Sweet choral melodies pealing and thrilling,
Echoes Of ages from far Galilee.
Christmas is here, merry old Christmas,
Gift bearing, heart touching. joy bringing
Christmas.
Day OF grand memories. king of the year.
The Christmas chimes are pealing,
softly pealing; the joyous sounds are
ringing. ever louder and clearer, ever
nearer and nearer. like q sweet toned
benediction falling on the ear. Glad
ringers are pulling the ropes, and in
one grand swell of melody Christmas,
with the old yet ever new and marvel.
GUS mysteries, bursts triumphantly
upon the world once more.
The cattle have turned their heads
TO the east and knelt down to worship
the King Graded in the manger; the
houses are decked with holly; the
yule log bnrns brightly; the grey
shadows sweep away; the sun is up,
and the bright eyed children, who
have lain awake all night listening for
the patter of old st. Nicks tiny steeds
on the roof, only TO fall asleep at the
eventful moment, wake hurriedly to
find the stockings running over with
toys and sweetmeats.
Beautiful and right it is that gifts
and good wishes should fill the air
like snowflakes at Christmastide.
And beautiful is the year in it's COM
ing and its going-most beautiful and
blessed because it is always the year
Of our Lord.
I do not know . grander effect OF
music on the moral feelings than to
hear the full choir and the pealing or.
gan performing Christmas anthem
in cathedral and filing every part
of the vast pile with triumphant har-
mony.

A TRAMP called at the house of an
old lady in Clyde the other day and
asked for piece OF bread which was
given him, whereupon the old lady,
who was quite religious, said: "It's
not for your sake, but for Christs sake
that I give you this bread" The
tramp stared her in the lace for
awhile and answered: mot for your
sake, nor for my sake, but for Christ's
sake put a little butter on it,"

in Kansas, You can poke your head
out of the court room window and call
for five beers, and get them in two
minutes" And he thought he had
made great point against the "ad-
ministion" for the non-enforcement of
the prohibitory laws. But the oppos.
ing council promptly opened his watch
and poked his head out of the win
dow, calling loudly for FIVE beers.
The watch licked two minutes and
the malt beverage did not come. The
court ruled that the beer was on the
lawyer who made the bluff, and there
was recess OF ten minutes.

Patti Rosa.

Charming Patti Rosa comes to the
opera house Saturday night, the 14th
inst, and will be seen IN her latest
laughing success, 'MIss Dixie" In
the course Of lengthy review Of her
performance, the Kansas City Star re-
Gently said; "Patti Rosa's talents as a
funmaker extend TO her toes and her
finger tips. She has funny little
swagger when she walks, her grima-
ces are irresistible, her hands are as
eloquent as they are shapely, and
everybody has seen her inimitable sug-
gestion of a plunge "over the high
brick wall' in her most famous song.
She has another song this year. but
that particular antic and the wink
that goes with it were too good TO
lose and have therefore been retained,
Joe Cawthorne, q "Dutcb comedian
who made u good deal Of hit in the
company last year, is still an impor-
tant feature of the entertainment as Is
Gerald Griffin, who plays comic old
men admirably. The other members
of the cast are thoroughly competent
and very presentable people, and the
whole show is interesting and well
performed"

A DespicabIe Canard.

After the sensational reports OF an
alleged terrible riot attended by, sup
posed, great slaughter of prominent
citizens, had gone out from Bakers
vile, N. G., and been read by thous-
ands of people, upon both sides of
the waters, the actual truth comes to
light, too late alas: to save another
stain from the recklessly, and as in
this case, criminally, stained garment,
which once clothed the fair name Of
our beloved Southland, In spotless
folds of white. That this dastardly
blow, at the fair name Of the mother
country, was struck by the matricidal
hand Of one native to the soil, appears
most true, and serves but to stamp the
brand of infamy upon tho brow OF
guilt, Of one 80 lost to honor, manhood,
pride and patriotism, that inborn vir-
ture of savages, as to strike so cruel
and wanton blow at the good name
Of his native State. For him, indeed,
-were the fateful words Of Scott, penn
cd years in advance, for he.
Living, shall forfeit fair renown,
And, doubly dying, shall 80 down

THE PROSPECT BRIGHTEEs.
Early Completion of the Texarkana &
Ft. Smith Road Very Probable.

That the completion of the Texar-
kama & TT. Smith railway is the para
noun object of interest to our city
and stands first in Importance over all
other actual and possible enterprises,
in the consideration of the entirs e y
pie of Texarkana, cannot be cmtrp-
verted. Such at least is the stand
point from which the DEMOCRAT laa
viewed the enterprise from its ineep-
tion and 90 do we regard ii to-day. II
is, therefore, with unfeigned inter- st
and pleasure that we see, in "prospec-
tus,' the early consummation of this
excellent and desirable project, for
which many persons have SO long and
earnestly wished. For some time we
have given It as our humble opinion
that the road would be speedily push
cd to completion, and now we believe
that we can see the way to that long
hoped for end. The remainder of the
comparatively small bonus asked by
Col. Whitaker to pay of existing in
debtedness and place the road, as 1t
now stands, in shape TO be taken
hold of and handled by other parties
can and we are confident will be read
lily subscribed, once our people are
made to see the way clear to an imme-
diate and certain completion of the
line. That means TO this end is
really in view we reproduce an article
bearing thereon, from the Nevada,
(Mo.) Mail, which reads as follows
"The owners of the Kansas City, Ne
vada & Ft. Smith, the Martin road,
are considering proposition to buy
the Texarkana x Ft. Smith railroad.
During their recent trips through the
South, President Martin, Vice Presi-
dent Stilwell and several of the direc-
tors of the company, visited Texar-
kama and made trip of inspection
over the Texarkana line. The propo-
sition made was for the Martin road
to buy the Texarkana line and com
plete II to Ft. Smith. Tho line was
started from Texarkana and has been
built and is in operation as far as Will
ton, Ark, distance Of twenty-eight
miles. Across the Red river has been
constructed an iron and steel draw
bridge, $50 feet long, and costing SILL
900, The proposed line is from Tex
arkana to TT. Smith, 1913 miles. The
second extension Of fifty miles from
Wilton Is under contract, and this
completed will leave a gap of 12O
miles to TT. Smith.
