I0YoUS CHRISTMAS. = The happy
ghri..mas festival has rolled around
once more, bringing TO those of mature
vars all its ballowed memories and en-
RANGING the younger generation, as it
,ysr has from It's institution, with
fright hopes. As is usual, extensive
IreDarations have been made for due
Celebration of the day. Presents for
mutual interchange have been pur-
chased, ample larders prepared, cakes
Taxed. supplies Of the fruit of the vine
provided aud the ingredients for egg.
Toy. that most popular of all Christ
mas drinks, selected. The younger
generation are specializing earnestly on
that Santa Claus is to bring them, and
will nestle in their beds tonight to
dream of bicycles, hobby horses and
TOYS of every other description. May
tle hopes of all end in fruition, and
may the day be enjoyed, as was the
original intention. not in surfeiting and
bastiality, but temperately and decent
i and with due appreciation of the
many blessings we all receive from a
muniicent Creator, especially for the
greatest gift of all-His glorious Rep
Tesentative-iu whose birth all are so
vitality Interested. But, remember,
there are, and ever will be, many
around Us to whom, in worldly sense,
Christmas is tantalizins from the fact
that their souls are frozen by chill pen
urv. II is in the power of most of US
to materially aid such in refreshing
their souls with the good cheer Of the
season. Let all who can lend help
ing hand toward this commendable OBJ
iect. Amid the mazes of the festivities
into which we are likely to be plunged
let the spiritual import of the occasion
never be forgotten, and may the heav-
enly anthem, "Peace on earth, good
will to men," which entranced the
shepherds on Judea's plains nearly
nineteen centuries ago, find respon-
siye chord in the hearts Of all.

Dickinson County Boys Sentenced Il
Prison.

John Evers and Walter Lacey, the
unruly south Dickinson boys who two
weeks ago broke into farmers house,
attempted rape, fled to Lyon county
stole horse and buggy and were
caught, had their trial in district
court at Emporia Thursday. They
were arraigned only for stealing the
horse and buggy. The Emporia Re-
publican says.
They waived preliminary examina-
ton and pleaded guilty. Judge Cum
bingham, who had known young
Evcrs' father when he lived here,
made touching appeal for the boys,
asking for the mercy Of the court. He
reviewed the circumstances connected
with the case, stating that the young
men were not hardened criminals, but
had taken the horse and buggy only
for the purpose Of returning home.
He asked for the extreme mercy OF the
court and thought that Eyers. who is
not quite 10 years old, should be sent
to the Reform school. Judge Ran
dolph, however, stated it ~ his BELIEF
that courts and juries are largely re-
sponsible for the prevalence of Grim,
and that he could not conscientiouslN
pass the case so lightly. He there
upon sentenced the boys to two year,
