dard of Jingoism. of outrage, OF oppres-
siOn-the emblem of pirates and ad-
venturerS such as those who seized upon
the government of Hawaii year ago.
The American flag. its azure field
studded with silvery stars, and its
stripes of white and red. representing
white winged peace and sanguinary
shife, should be the emblem of free
dom wherever it floats. 1t should never
be permitted to tiutter in the breeze or
to shelter the wrongdoer, even though
he may wear the uniform OF the highest
official in the land. civil, naval or mill
tary. 1t is pity that Senator Cullom
and his fellow partlsans have had so
little regard for its honor. They have
dragged it down hundred times and
trampled it under foot in the mire of
political contention. They have caused
1t to float over a nation Of slaveS-base.
lgnoble slaves to system of industrial
tyranny ten-fold worse than that once
existing in the Southern half of our
territory. They have made it shelter
for lnfamieS. perpetrated in the name
of law, that woald cause Caligula to
blush with shame. They have outraged
and spit upon it; they have covered it
with the slime of diShonor that they
might establish and perpetuate plu-
tocracy where a republic had been es-
tablished. They have. while processing
to defend it, detiled it by sheltering be-
meath its folds hereSies that are de-
signed TO overthrow free government
and make of the United States a Kissing
and a by-word throughout the world.
They are defenders of the old flag only
when it appears before them accompa-
MED with an appropriation.
There are people who can boast
higher patriotism than any yet dis
played by the senator from Illinois to
whom his words convey an insult. His
senatorial colleague periled his life OH
the field of battle while CuIlom was at
home seeking convenient place at the
public pap fountain. No man has ever
questioned the fealty of John NJ. Palmer
to the American flag. and lie shows his
jealousy for its honor by protesting
against its employment in Hawaii to
protect band of political tilibusters.
Mr.. Cullom may love the flag. We
hope he does. But he manifests his
love for it in singular manner when
he demands that it be made an emblem
of oppression rather than of freedom
and justice.

THIS week two factories, in the small
city of Joliet, ILL.,, have resumed work,
giving employment to 1900 men. At
Amsterdam, n. Y, and Elizabeth, N.
j., other factories have started up, and
give work to 5000 laborers and me-
chanics. All this is in the face of the
certainty of the passage of the Wilson
bill, which, according to Republican
orators and newspapers, is to shut
down every furnace in the land To
man up tree it is very manifest that
the Republicans are lying. or that the
manufacturers are deliberately court
ing bankruptcy.

stood thus for several moments, then
her lips compressed, and, rapidly cross
ing the street, she entered the pawn
brokers shop.
big John" read the story at a glance.
Some cherished keepsake was going,
in order that her baby daughter might
not miss the expected visit from Santa
Claus-and how dear that keepsake
must be, for what an effort it required
to bring herself to the determination
to part with it. The warm heart of
the miner was yet swollen from the
conversation which he had heard be-
tween the mother and daughter. and
he crossed over to tender his assist
ance. when the shop door opened and
the woman came forth. Addressing
him, she said:
''Can you tell me, sir, if there is
shop or store in the town where toys
and candies are kept? Such things
as children like for Christmas, you
know?"
The great-hearted miner was about
to tell her that he had overheard her
conversation with her little girl, and
that she must so right back to the
house out of the cold and have no fear
that Santa Claus didn't know his busi-
ness, but her pretty. intelligent face,
musical voice and air of quiet refine
ment awed him, and he feared ten
der of assistance and confession that
he had been eavesdropping might Of
fend her, so he bluntly answered:
'Yes ma am, the big store righ where
you see that awnin' packs al sich
truck"
She thanked him and walked hur-
riedly away, and the miner entered the
pawEsnOp.
What did that woman put up here,
Sol?" he asked.
"a ring, Shon. A heavy gold ring,
worth not less than twenty dollars.
That woman vas a lady, Shon, and 1

Now, what do you guess: But you could no
guess
What Santa Claus did last night:
He filled our stockings up to the brim,
Packing them hard and tight;
And the dear old fellow-would you believes-
He planted a Christmas tree
And hung it thick with beautiful things
For Tommy and Ruth and me.
Tops and trumpets and drum and SLED.
Marbles and bat and ball.

Oceans OF nuts and canGies-Oh.
If you had been there to see
All the treasures that Christmas brought
For Tommy and Ruth and me
Tommy gazed. with a sober face,
Then lifted his head to say:
There's plenty OF boys and girls, know,
Who haven't gift to-day.
Why did he bring so much 70 us:
There's more than enough for three;
II isn't fair that so much should be
For Polly and Ruth aud me-
"-Tis easy guessing. The dear old saint
Has piled up his treasures here
To give US three glorious chance
To share irVals Christmas cheer;

have five. but she didn't would take it.
She said she might not be able to raise
SO much to redeem it.
Nov look here, Sol, you know me,
an you know wouldn't do anything
that's crooked" John said. ''Ill give
you ten dollars for the ring, and I'll
promise you that the woman will wear
it in its old place on her finger to-mor-
row"
"Oh, my Gracious, Shon. 1 couldn't
do dat De ring is pledge und vas
responsible for it, und l don't would
dare gif it to anybody but de owner.
Do you know the lady. Shon?"
The miner reflected for moment,
and then in his old blunt way told the
man what he had heard through the
canvas partition. His strong voice
grew soft and mellow as he repeated
the little ones words. and tear stole
down his bronzed cheek as he told of
the mothers grief and of her resolu-
tion that her baby should not be de-
prived of her Christmas pleasures.
Then he detailed his plans, and con-
, cluded by saying:
'Sandy Claws is on that little 'un's
trail, Sol, an he's a goin' to run onto
her camp in great shape, an tomor-
row mornin' when she wakes mp that
ring ought to be among the stuff she
finds in her stoclxin's."

With the ring in his purse, the ring

the altar she took the name of the dear
one whom she mourncd, John started

woman in distresS?' That was
enough for the generous warm-heart-
ed miners congregated in the various
places, and the canvas bag John car
ried grew more and more corpulent in
proportions as he went his rounds.
Gold, silver and greenbacks came into
the fund from willing hands, and when
at nine that night the tour was COM
pleted, the bag seemed almost burst
ing with its load of treasure. Return
ing to the hotel with few compan-
ions the miner had consultation with
the landlord, which concluded with the
latter saying, bluntly:
''Yes, take knife an slit the or

checked the speech upon her lips a
shade of pain swept over her face and
her eyes dropped. The mother caught
the changing expression on the little
ones features, and her heart swelled
almost to bursting. as the tears came
anew into her swollen eyes.
80. mamma, don't-please don't"
Midget pleaded. 81 don't care about
Santa Claus and won't hang up a
single stocking, for l know he would
never come to hunt me in this far
away place He will look for me back
at home, and, when he finds / am
gone. will give my presents to some
little poor girl"
"Yes, you do care. Midget, darling,
but in your brave little soul you try to
hide your disappointment that it may
not grieve mamma. No, darling,
fear good Santa Claus will not find
you this time, as he has done every
other Christmas since your birth, and
it breaks my heart to think you must
be so neglected"
Don't you mind it bit, mamma,
for just amt going to care. If you
will only smile and look happy like
you used to, it will please me more
than anything good old Santa could
bring me in his great pack"
The mother drew the little one to her
bosom and kissed her fondly, and she
started when deep sigh, which Midget
tried in vain to repress, escaped from the
baby's breast. Her face wore a look
of desperate resolution as she released
her loved one and said:
Midget. darling, you will hang up
your little stockings tonight. as you
have always done, and good Santa
Claus may come here when he visits
the few children in this dreary town.
l somehow feel that he will do so, and
when you go to bed tonight you must
ask God in your prayers to tell the
good children's friend where you are.
He may find you, darling, but if he
does not you must not grieve too
greatly over it. Mamma is going ont
for little while. and you must stay
close to the stove and try TO keep

If the thin muslin wall which sep
arated her room from the adjoining
one had vanished Mrs. Maynard would
have seen sitting near it great big,
rough miner. with tears sparkling like
diamonds in his honest eyes. She did
not know that, as she left her room.
Big john Rogers, as he was known,
quietly arose and followed her from
the house and waded after her through
the deep snow in the street.
He saw her enter the post office, and
a few minutes later come forth again
with n look of distress and disappoint-
ment on her face. She raised her eyes
to look about her. and he noticed that
they were full of tears, but, when just
across the street, they encountered
three gilded balls. her face frightened
and she seemed about to start toward
them. Then cloud of pain swept
over her features and she stood with

And shed their fragrance free and fari
rTis always so on Christmas day.
In memory Of His golden star.
The race Of man had waited long
To see that lily in the sky
To hear the perfect angel-song.
"Of peace TO earth and praise on high"
Oppressive night OF Egypt lay.
Till with its glow loves star arose;
In hope and cheer of Christmas day,
The yearning centuries found repoSe!
Twas like the change the morning brings,
Awaking men to duty bright;
Twas like the song the bluebird sings
OF lovely spring and her delight;
Twas like the coming OF the May.
Refreshing age, rejoicing youth
So beautiful was Christmas day
In its creative hope and truth,
The Heaven and earth we know are one;
God cares for earth as worlds above;
Wherever stars in peace look on,
There shincth His abiding love;
But nearer to our hearts there lay
a longing for the Man Divine.
And so there came the Christmas day,
And in the east His star did shine.
What tender tones Of kindness sweet,
We sreak because Of His new birth;
In happiness the virtues meet
To tell His story to the earth:
Good viii and peace have ample play,
NaUght seems our paradise to mar,
Because il is the Christmas day.
And all the world beholds His star,
Our children shout and dance in glee;
Surprises sweet await this morn;
Like ships across the summer sea,
Good gifts to them and us are borne;
The holly glistens with its spray,
The mistletoe makes pIirth and cheer
1t is glad-hearted Christmas day.
The merriest day OF all the year,

During the early hours of the night
men moved softly about the hotel of
fee whispering mysteriously, or sat
near the stove discussing some matter
in low tones. The landlords wife had
gone to the ladys room, ostensibly
for womanly chat. but really on a
mission at Johns request, and when,
an hour later, she silently glided into
the office score of rough miners sur
rounded her.
''She is just going to bed" the wom-
an said. The poor creature is tired
and all worn out, and l induced her to
take small dose of laudanum. She
will sleep like top. The little girl is
sleeping soundly, and / assisted the
mother to place the few cheap pres
ents she had purchased in the little
stockings hanging on the back of a
chair near the bed. The woman took
hers off just before l came away, and
they are lying on her shoes near the
foot of the bed"
Along after midnight, had not Mrs.
Maynard been securely locked in the
arms of opiate-induced sleep, some
very mysterious transactions would
have met her eyes. She would have
seen honest old Johns bewhislzered
face at the opening thus made, his
head cautiously enter, and his keen
eyes peer around in the dim light
which came through the window from
the winter moon. Then she wonld
have seen his burly form come noise
lessly through the opening, move eau
tiously to a chair and remove there
from the tiny, present-laden stockings
She would have seen the great form
stoop and would have heard the
searching fingers moving over the
floor, and then have seen the miner
assume half STOPPING attitude, and
move away grasping the baby stock
ings in one hand and a pair OF much
larger dimensions in the other. But
she sweetly slept on, unconscious that
her room had been invaded by warm
hearted representative of Santa Claus

Question-When people die where do
they go to?
Answer-That depends upon what
they have been doing. If they have

have been doing evil, to hell.
Question-But do you not believe in

one into which he will go. II he is
