A Bit of Patnos at Christmastide.


There is little girl of who has
proved herself one of the ministering
children not in name only. A few weeks
ago the baby Of the family died. The
children as we'll as the mother had
looked forward to hanging up the baby's
stocking at Christmas with great deal
of pleasure. But the loss of the baby
brought such anguish to the mother that
she decided to have no Christmas cele-
bration of any kind. Last Sunday even
ing, as the family sat in partial dark
ness, recounting their loss with all its
sad circumstanc IS, a tender little voice
pierced the gloom:
Mamma, isn't there any Christmas
in heaven?"

ing mother. sit is always Christmas

''Then why don't you keep it here?"
persisted the little girl. "Jus' make
b'lieve baby isn't dead, an hang up her
little stockin, mamma, an les all have
Christmas JUS the same an be happy,
like she is"
The child's wisdom prevailed against
the unreasoning sorrow of the mother,
and the little ones are happy and busy
filling the stocking of the baby who will
keep Christmas in heaven.

that name ON the hotel register always
brings q crowd of people to see the man
who originated ono of the most famous
phrases in American politics. The SEN.
tence has gone into history and become
q part of it. 1t was one of the memora-
BILE incidents of one of tho most memo
rable conventions that ever assembled
in America-the Chicago national Re-
publican convention which defeated
Grant and nominated Garfield. Ever
since then somebody in every conven-
ton, large or small, has arisen to ask,
'-What are we here for?" Web Flana-
gan of Henderson, Rusk county, Tex,
is the man who said it first of all. To a
writer for the Galveston News Flana-
gan told the story of the phrase. This
is tho way he told it,
"It was in Chicago in 1880. l was a
member from Texas in the national con-
vention. When the committee on plat
form and resolutions reported, Barker OF
Massachusetts offered to insert plank
pledging the party to civil service re-
form. l arose in my place and said:

nothing on earth can render her lonely life less
weary, poor soul! AS for Gods reward for
what l have done, l can hardly appreciate
it, 'Tis more like Punishment for misdeeds
(of which I've done many) than grace for good
ones Gf I've done any. Homelessness is the
actors fate, physical incapacity to attain
what is most required and desired by such n
spirit as am slave to. If there be rewards,
l certainly am well paid, but hard schooling

the buffets and rewards Of fortune with equal
thanks, and in suffering all to suffCr-I won't

Players Must Be Quick and Not Mind
Burned Fingers.
Few christmas gambols" exist in
their original form. But the old games
modified to suit modern taste as we'll
as the new ones are just as full of fun
and are entered into by the young folks
nowadays with as much zest as were
the rougher gambols over which in old
England the Lord of Misrule" pre-
sided. Although the authority Of this
lord was generally acknowledged at
Christmas merrymakings 200 or 800
years ago. and he made things very live
ly, such disorders finally crept into his
brief burlesque reign that he was sup
pressed.
One of the most quiet and genial of
the gambols over which he was master
has been handed down under the name
of "Snapdragon. Raisius are put into
a large bowl, covered with spirit, which
is ignited. Lights in the room are ex-
tinguished, and each one attempts il
turn to grasp raisin, feat requiring
some skill and courage. Meanwhile an
appropriate accompaniment is the 'Song
Of the Snapdragon, beginning thus:
Here he comes with flaming bowl.
Don't he mean to take his toll?
Snip! Snap! Dragon!
Take care you don't take too much,
Be not greedy in your clutch,
Snip! Snap! Dragon!
With his hue and tapping tongue
Many of you will be stung.

WEIGH WITH THEIR EYES.
Expert Dealers In Live Stock Do No
Often Use Scales.

Often Use Scales.
The dealers in live stock who buy and
sell the thousands of cattle, hogs and
sheep which are daily handled at the
Bourbon stockyards must be expert in
guessing the weight of live animal at
a glance In conversation with @ well
known stockman few days ago he ex-
planned why this is necessary:
"It would be impossible to weigh the
cattle in many cases because of the i'm
mense labor involved and the length Of
time it would take, while the market
price, which is subject to constant fuc-
tuations, might easily vary from its
highest to its lowest limit while we
were weighing the animals in one of
our big scales. For instance, today,
which has been the biggest day of the
year thus far, there have been received at
the Bourbon yards over 2,400 head of
cattle and about 5000 hogs. Suppose
we had to drive all of those upon tie
scales to ascertain their weight? There
are dozens of old stock men who can in
spect herd of animals and form al es-
innate Of their average weight which
will be readily accepted by purchasers as
the basis of trade.
''In test case which was made some
time since man who has had life
long experience in buying and selling a
herd of cattle, after inspecting herd
of 500 animals, guessed their average
weight within one-third of pound Of
the actual figure ascertained by weigh
ing the cattle individually. The feat
was accomplished by Mr.. Ben D. Offutt
of this county and is not so extraordina-
ry as it appears, because similar in
stances Of expert guessing occur here
every day. louisville Courier-Jour-
