The Holiday Season Reminds Him OF

George McCauey, now doing time at Al
bany for stabbing 4 soldier atsFortress

Remember McCauley? He was ahead of
any man / ever knew-thc most reckless
the most devil-may-care fellow l ever had
anything TO do with. He is now forty
eight years old, and has served twenty
eight years behind the bars.
He always liked me for some reason
and when he gets out OF the penitentiary
usually Sees me before he goes back. His
time is now about up, and ir he should be-
discharged before the holidays are over
he will wander this way sure. He won't do
a thing till after he sees Washington.
Il thought at one time he was going to
die OF consumption, and begged him TO leave
off his evil ways. He then promised me he
would stay out of the pen until after the
election, which was then about due, and he
did He didn't cut the soldier until he had
passed the election period.
Every boy that McCauley trained to
burglary has been caught and all have done
time. from one year to as much as six years
"A boy sluealed on him once when a no.
ton store was burglarizcd in South Wash
ington. He tried. even after he was hand
cuffed. to kill the young chap, and would
have cboked the life out OF him If he could
have reached him. / { he ever gets n chance,

ANGELS WE'RE AROUND.

His name was ISRAELI.
And he stood in the place where angels
dwell.
And he gave the world its message of peace
In melodious song. so sweet and strong,
Its echoes will never cease.
And he said to the listening children of light:
because of the promises made this night
Because of Redemption born with His birth.
This day of each year we will circle the
earth"
And the angels answered "'Tis well"
little child with weary feet
Was lost one night in lonely street,
Lost on Christmas eve.
Far Off shone the city's light,
And faint came the city's sound
But between lay waste OF painless night.
And the wind kissed her brow with its icy
breath,
And the snow clothed her form in its ermine
OF death,
And the night sealed her eyes with such
blindness profound,
1t was hard to believe, that Christmas eve
That angels We're around.
A tempted man, with world worn feet,
Was lost in sin on busy street
Lost on Christmas eve.
Around glared the City's light,
Around clashed the city sound,
But his way lay across the painless night.
For malice had whispered, with poisoned
breath,
A tale of wrong that was worse than death:
And hate sealed his soul with such blindness
profound,
He couldn't believe, that Christmas eve,
That angels were around.
So with passions raging wild.
He came to the lonely street,
And there, at the enemy's door, child
Lay sobbing at his feet.
A pitiful scrap of a baby, dying alone in the
night,
But a seraph of Gods own choosing, to put
his anger to flight.
So that is how both were lost
And that is how both were found,
But don't believe 'twould have happened
that eve
II there had notbeen angelsaround.
