Those old puritans delighted
in a religion that shrouded the
home and childhood in gloom
while the spirit of Christmas
was to permeate society with
charity, sympathy, fraternity
and joy-and the song went
round:
At Christmastide, the open hand.
Scatters its bounty DER sea and land;
And none are left to grieve alone,
For love is heaven, and claims its own.
My boyhood recollections of
Christmas holidays redolent of
happy expectations from the
generosity of old Santa Claus,
who still fingers in my memory
as an Abou Ben Adhem, whose
race, I fondly hope, will be per-
petuated for the delectation of
childhood-the only regret be-
ing that in after years these de-
lightful fancies will have to gire
way to the cruel fact that the
chimes of bells and other demon
STATIONS of JOY and gladness,
serve to obscure conditions
which are to the utmost limit
discreditable to or much vaunt-

pierre LoriiIard's Plan

Pierre Lorilard. the well-known New
York turfman. has promulgated plan
whereby he hopes to release the horse
men of the United States from depend
ence on the bookmakers and gambler
Mr.. Lorillard's idea is most unique,
saws the New York Mercury. and also
very strong one. 1t really provokes
breeders into entering most of their out
put in valuable stakes, thereby increas-
ing their value. The circular he has
framed is extremely fair, and should Mt.
tract universal attention from every
breeder in the United States. There
should be no lack OF signatures, as ii real
" insures the raisers of thoroughbreds
against loss on their output. The cir
cular reads as follows:
The signers agree to enter their year
ling on May l, 1896 Cfoals of 1880 in six
great stakes, to be run under the aus
pices of the Jockey club. said Jockey club
to receive all entrance monev and distri b.
ute same in proportion among the six
stakes, all details to be left to the Jockey
club. The entrance is 500 on each year
ling. This qualities him for entry TO
the six stakes. Breeders are to name all
yearIings bred by them on May l, 1896.
The engagement follows the sale of the
yearlings, and is to be assumed by pur-
chase. Engagements of yearlings not
sold are to be paid for July 1896; all en-
trance payable to the Jockey club.
There is one objection to the price OF
entry. as, taking the rank and file of
breeders, s1OO per yearling sounds rather
stiff, but there is the happy suggestion
that the price of entry will be charged at
the sale to the purchaser. This may look
rather like an exclusive stake but upon
closer examination it will be found really
. case of the survival of the i..test. as q
breeder enters all his live colts. and
those that are not suitable shouli rec i've
q dose of Lord Glasgow's medicine. This
may sound startling, but the increase in
the price of the best would more than
pay for the sudden decrease of no &C.
count. If lot of yearlings have six such
valuable engagements as are proposed by
Mr.. Lorillard, they should sell for treble
what they would ordinarily.
In other words it will make breeders
enter in order to sell at a profit, and
should induce owners to buy in order to
profit by the same, Great forethougbt has
been shown in planning these gigantic
stakes. They will close for breeders in
May. 1896, and for owners later in the
year-say August. There will be three runs
for 2-year-ods in 1893. If.as Mr. Lorillard
hopes, 1900 are entered, tina: will make
$50. 900; if of these 1900 are entered b7
their final owners. it will make the stakes
additionally valuable, probably worth $50,
600 each stake.

one of the main factors in the develop
ment of the oil industry IN the southern
part of the state, operating at Newhall,
where he still has large interests, besides
others farther up the coast. Mr.. FELTON,
will remain in the city about ten days
dividing his time between Ncwhall.

take a short run further south. where

! interest in all that is going o.. and has
| great faith in the future OF Los Angeles.
| "You have the most prosperous city III
the state" said Mr.. FELTON, last night,
"and the amount of building that is CO.
ing on is simply astounding; the class OF
| buildings, too, is such as to attract the
attention of everyone. The Development
of the oil industry is q great thing for
| Los Angeles and Southern California.
ami when 1t is remembered that oil at
! present prices is cheaper than coal at 81
a ton. one can appreciate what there is
! in store for Southern California from a
manufacturing standpoint. The industry
! is only in It's infancy. but the indications
ara that the supply is ample and perma-
| nent and when a sufficient demand has
been created to absorb it all thousands of
dollars will be added to the wealth OF this
section"
When asked to give his views on the
political situation, Senator FELTON, said
that he was out of politics, so far as he
was personally concerned. He was OF
couise, a Republican. and had the Mt
most confidence in its future, but when
Senator White succeeded him that wound
up his career in politics, and he would
henceiorth devote himself strictly to his
own affairs, for which he believed he
was better suited than politics, any way.
! As to the choice of the Repu olicans for
president, Mr.. FELTON, said the choice
would not be an easy one. owing to the
mum Der of available candidates. Either
Tom Reed, Governor Mckinley or Sena.
tor Allison would DC acceptable to the
party.
Senator FELTON, said that he did not re
gard ex-President Harrison as in any
sense a candidate. 1t is likely that ht
would accept the nomination if it were
rendered him, but he was confident. from
what he knsw of Mr.. Harrison, that he

newspaper fraternity, and together they
started after the robber. The excited man
told them, that is the officer and reporter,
that there was a small alley in the rear OF
the house where the 70 bber was at work,
and suggested that they GO there while he
would take the post of danger and watch
from the upstairs window. With these
words he went in the door and to paia-
phrase Edgar Allen Poe quoth no more.
The officer looked at the reporter while
cold chill journeyed down the latter's back.
What was to be done? This was the ques-

more deep. hard thinking than the moro
famous one OF Hamlet occasioned that
melancholy scion of the house of Dem

heavy thinking part, while the reporter
formed the background. What worried
Mr.. Richardson was not what he was
going to do with the burglar, but what
disposition should be made OF the news

he was left IN front to watch he would

panion to sit on the curbstone and sing
one of those beautiful hymns he sang

month, while he disappeared down the
alley after the suspecting criminal.
The reporter had been in the face Of
danger many times before. so like the
true soldier of duty that he was, sat down
and began TO wheeze. He sang as he had
never sang before. In his enthusiasm to
help the officer he got the tunes mixed up

But the burglar? Oh he was never
there. He existed only in the imagina-
