THE FIRST CHRISTMAS.


Like small curled feathers, white and soft
The little clouds went by,
Across the moon, and past the stars
And down the western sky
In upland pastures, where the grass
With frosted dew was white,
Like snowy clouds, the young sheep lay
That first blest Christmas night
The shepherds slept, and glimmering faint
With twist of thin blue smoke,
Only their fires cracking flames
The tender silence broke,
Save when young lamb raised his head
Or, when the night wind blew,
A nesting bird would softly stir,
Where dusky olives grew
With finger on her solemn lip
Night hushed the shady earth,
And only stars and angels saw
The little Saviour's birth.
Then came such flash of silver light
Across the bending skies
The wondering shepherds woke and hid
Their frightened, daZzed eyes
But all their gentle, sleepy flock
Looked up, then slept again,
Nor knew the light that dimmed the stars
Brought endless peace to men,
Nor even heard the gracious words
That down the ages ring:
"rhe Christ is born, the Lord has come,
Good will on earth to bring"
Then DER the moonlit misty fields,
Dumb with the worlds great joy,
The shepherds sought the white walled town
Where lay the baby boy,
And oh, the gladness of the world,
The glory OF the skies,
Because the longed for Christ had smiled
In Mary's happy eyes

CHRISTMAS IN A MINE.

1.-THE most memorable Christmas in
my recollection Yes, sir. Well, there
are many memorable occasions in the
life of mountain pioneer, but this Que
is worth recording"
The old prospector, declining the
prohered Havana, proceeded to ill his
pipe with considerable deliberation, AZ
he settled down on huge boulder -
The crisp, bright air of beautiful Oc-
tober morning lent additional vigor and
energy to every faculty.
took a survey of the old man be-
fore he proceeded with his story.
Grizzled hair and beard, and a slight
stoop of the shoulders, bespoke years of
toll and expectation-expectation unful-
filed but ever fresh with each recurring
spring
Little does humanity estimate the
debts it owes these hardy pioneers. who
have led the way across steep and dan
gerous trails, delving constantly beneath
the soil to open to the world its treasure
vaults. Onward they go, as civilization
follows, to still more unexplored regions,
until the very heart of the Sierras is
like an open book. And when the last
pick is struck, when life's fuse has
burned itself out, stone pile perchance
marks the last resting place of hero,
whose kind is now almost extinct.
The old man continued: "You see,
just before the Carbonate excitement
broke out, was clerk in supply store
at Denver. While wages were tolcra-
bly, fair even for the West, it was slow
progress toward getting rich-too slow
in fact, when one could hear every day
as how the boys we're making rich strikes
and selling out their claims at big
figure.
"That Spring a young fellow had
come out from the States and gone to
work in the store. lie was u very quiet
sort of fcllow-had little to say to any
one and was good worker. But there
was something on bis mind. A blind
man could have noticed it, because he
would stop sometimes in the middle of
his work and get to thinking aud study

paper in his hand. His face was flushed
and his manner excited
That settles it, Bill, Pm off for the

have been made out there this past week
Better pack your traps and come along.
"Well, | read the news, and the fever
struck me, too. The rush was fairly on +,
and in two days time we had fitted out
and were among large cavalcade that
was striking out for the new Carbonate
camp" (The old man referred to Lead

out claim and set to work with will

Pluck in the race for success has
long since distanced luck. Enterprise
goes forward. with steady tread, and
reaches the goal while timidly stands
covering before every adverse
wind. To appreciate what
pluck, energy and enter
prise has accomplished, visit TO The
LEADER book bindery will disclose.
Starting not yet year ago, with no
plant, it has gone steadily forward,
and overcoming all obstacles it, to-day,
invites competition. There is, in the
cities, no more complete plant. or one
that does better or finer work. 1t is a
Richmond in the field, who has come
to stay, and to conquer too, though an
hundred Richards may contend.
The findery is presided over by a
foreman, who is an expert, and who
gives it his closest personal attention.
In The LEADER plant an actual
working force of twenty-seven is kept
continually busy, and this force repre-
sents weekly pay roll of $500. The
bindery is supplied with the most inn
proved machinery. and is capa ble, and
does turn out, as fine specimens OF
work as any bindery in the United
States One OF the great points scored
by it, is that owing 70 its completeness
and the, systematic sclock work with
which it is carried On, it can afford to
bid as low as the lowest. The motto
of its proprietors being to make liv.
| ing profit from its patrona AMI not q
killing loss to them.
| The field of operations of the bind
cry have continually. increased, and il
not only bids for work IN Oklahoma
Territory land it always bids the
lowest, too,) but its trade extends tC
several of the Southern Kansas coun
ties. The travelling representative
Mr.. II. A. platt, is on the road all the
while, and, owing to strict business
methods, he has been more than sue
cessful. The enterprise is only
the nucleus of what its propric
tors intend making it. The
field is large one and they
intend covering it fully. Their enter
prise warrants them in hoping for the
best results. There is no reason for
St Louis and Kansas City houses
doing the work that home enterprise
can do just as well, and possibly bet
ter. The country is increasing every
day in population and wealth, and the
demand must perfor6e keep pace with
the country's growth.
THE LEADER bindery is ready to un-
dertake any character of work, and 10
guarantee that it will do the work in
such a manner as TO please the most
fastidious.

HAWAIIAN REGISTRATION.
Only One Hundred aud Eighty-Fivs Ma
tIyes on the List.

SAN FRANCISCO, May THE steam
er Australia, which arrived to- day,
brought Honolulu news to April 81.
The registration closed April 81, and
in Honolulu alone 1.5O7 signed the
rolls Although seemingly small it was
nevertheless good showing when the
fact that only 2, 800 voters registered
ut the last election under the Royalist
regime is considered. The registered
are: Natives, 1856; Hawaiians born
foreign, 10l; Americans, 800; English,
1876; Germans, 100; Portuguese, AIS:
all others, 0s; total, 1907. Complete
returns had not been received from
the other islands when the Australia
sailed, but the total registration for
the group is estimated at about 5000.
A large number of American sup
porters of the provisional government
did not register because they feared
that they would lose their American
citizenship by taking the required
oath. One of these was John En-
meluth, member of the ad-
visory council. The Portuguese
nominated two candidates of their
own, who, from the number of their
countrymcn who registered, will
probably be elected.
| l.. A. Thurston, the Haw aiian min
ister to Washington, is in Hon olull
and will remain until after the consti
/ tutional convention. He denies tn,
rumor that he has accepted the port
folio for minister of foreign affairs.
