II was New Years eve in that cold
and glorious climate where thetsnow
lies on the bosom of the earth like a
protecting mantle from December to
March and the nights are crisp and
cold. with resinous tang in the arr
dne To the forests of odorous pine.
New Years eve and the merry jingle
az sleiphbells in the little town OF
brandon made harmonious discord
that reached the ears of two people
who were having the first quarrel OF
their lives, and who presented-if they
had only known it--an absurd appear
ance one in lachrymose. the other in
"a bclligerent, state. 1t came about IN
the strangest way, this quarrel De-
tween two married lovers who had es-
tablished their lives upon firm
foundation of principle and respect, as
well as mutual love. before they took
upon themselves the responsibilities OF
welded life.
These were the first holidays since
their wedding and they had antici-
pated season of quiet enjoyment with
each other, and now they were hardly
on speaking terms. And there was no
one TO blame but themselves.
II happened in this way; Alice, Mrs.
Eversharn, had been very anxious to
make her husband, Horace, a New
Years present, but had refrained
from prudential reasons They were
saving money to pay on home and
were exercising a rigid economy IN
which both were equally interested.
II Horace went without cigars and
other laxuries. his wife gave up hav-
ing afternoon teas, and hired only one
domestic. who worked by the day. A
certain amount was reserved for char
itv. and as the end of the year APP
preached and cold weather brought
extra demands. this fund gave out and
there were several cases of restitution
which thcy could not relieve. but were
compelled 80 hand over to the char
liable society of the church
Therefore IL was at Alice's own sug
eestion thatth society got mp bazal
for the sale of contributed goods, AM
took the proceeds to ameliorate tn
conditions of their poor.
This was the beginning of tn
trouble. When the sales were over
they took the things that remained IN
sold and put them mp at so much
chance. Alice had put her foot dow

package for Mrs. Eversham.
1t was the dressing-gown from the
bazaar. The chance taken for Alice had
drawn it, Alice did not look upon it
with horror. On the contrary, she could
not conceal her delight at having won
it. But she said coldly as she handed
the handsome garment to Horace:
..Your New Years present. hope
it will fit
.ThanlS you very much, said Horace,
his eyes sparkling with pleasure, but

"Why, there's the goose?"

and we must eat"

She did not say anything about it to
Horace, who was too much occupied
with the closing business of the year
to attend the bazar, and knew nothing
Of this lottery feature.
She would not have had him know 1t on
ar.v account, inasmuch as he had been
fond of games of chance when she mar
ried him, and through her good in
fiuence had entirely reformed. That
dangerous passion for gambling which
does so much harm in the world, had
found an abiding-place with Horace
Eversham, and was becoming one OF
the pernieious influences of his life,
when Alice effected cure which she
believed to be permanent
They had been happy and larky as
two children, until Horace came home
bringing fine goose.
Its for dinner New Years day" he
said, holding up the white-feathered
bird at arms length Isn't it a beauty
fat and plump?'
''What viii we do with a whole
goose?" asked Alice.
Eat it. My father used TO say that
a goose was an awkward bird, too
much for one. and not enough for two,
Wen have feast if Ellen Jane does
her whole duty in her cooking, won't
we, though?"
''Its feathers will make sofa cush-
ion, said Alice, who had frugal
mind. I'm beginning to get recon
ciled to the goose"
OTIS a noble bird, and its cackling
once saved Rome, remarked Horace,
sententiously, and then they went to
gether to the kitchen. where the goose
was laid on Ellen James spotless white
table.
When that functionary saw it, she
lifted up both hands:

News Companies Decide Not to Han
die If Christ Came to
Chicago

New York, April THE American
and Union News companies have re
fused 10 handle w. T. Stead's book,
If Christ Came to Chicago, and have
notified their dealers to cancel all
orders
1--WE have refused to sell the book, p"
said w. H. Williams, manager of the
Union News company today, because
we do not think it proper. In the
first place the title of the book is OBJ
iectionable. We look upon it as
little short of blaSphenlols. 1t seems
to me that the title has cen selected
merely for the purpose of attracting
attention and not because of any spe-
claI application to the subject matter
of the book
Another objection Is that not only
the names of the keepers but the ad-
dresses of all the disreputable resorts
in Chicago are given making the vol
ume among other things a directory
of sin. The attempt to conceal IT, by
Il mass of other matter is merely beat,
ing about the bush. The reputation
of the author does not palliate the
offcnse in any way"

WISCONSINS ELECTIONS

An examination of the returns from
the municipal elections held through
out Wisconsin April 3 shows that a
tremendous change in popular senti-
ment has been going on since the cleo
tons of 1892. There was a sufficient
change of votes i'm a dozen towns Of
the state on Tuesday to effect a re-
vcrSal Of the pluralities given the
democratic state and national tickets
'Wo years ago In ten of the principal
cities Of the interior a change Of fully

electors OF this town. Koch's major
