+ &RS1eaT jovial feeling is not rous-
EI1A&4A ed, in whose mind some
pleasant associations are
not awakened, by the re-
currence of Christmas There are people
who will tell you that Christmas is not
to them what it used to be; that each
succeeding Christmas has found some
cherished hope OF happy prospect Of the
year before dimmed or passed away; that
the present only serves to remind them
of reduced circumstances and straitened
incomes, of the feasts they once be-
slowed on hollow friends, and of the cold
looks that meet them now in adversely
and misfortune. Never heed such dis
NAL "reminiscences. Look on the merry
faces of your children, if you have any,
as they sit round the fire. One little
seat may be empty. One slight form that
gladdened the fathers heart and reused
the mothers pride to look upon may not
be there. Dwell not upon the past. Think
not that one short year ago the fair
child now resolving into dust sat before
you with the bloom of health upon its
cheek and the gayety Of infancy in its
joyous eye. Reflect upon your present
blessings, of which every man has
many-not ON your past misfortunes, of
which all men have some. Fill your
glass again, with merry face and con-
tented heart. Our life on it, but your
Christmas shall be merry and your new
year happy one.

St. Louis. June 16.-Judge A H. Ellis,
Republican candidate for congress in
the Sixth Kansas congressional district
probably has more trouble than any
Kansas politician unless it be Governor
Morrill, He was feeling in no pleasant
mood this morning when a State Jour
nal correspondent approached him.
The Kansas statesman was holding
in his hand a copy of a Kansas City
morning paper in which was what pur-
ported to be an interview with him on
the financial isue. In the interview.
the judge was quoted as being etern-
ally and forever opposed to the gold
standard; that Kansas did not want
such a standard and that his constf-
tuency was for the free and unlimited
coinage of silver"

NEW YORK NOT SATISFIED.
The Financial Plank is Not Strong
Enough Gold.


St Louis, June 16.-The most sur
prising news of the morning came
when it was announced by Mr.. Lautcr-
bach. who is to be New YOrk's MEM
Der of the committee on resolutions,
that he was not satisfied with the gold
plank. The announcement was sur
prising in view of the fact that Mr..
Piatt had practically declared himself
perfectly satisfied after the conference
last night with Foraker, Merriam and
Lodge. and early this morning the
New York delegates were jubilatir
over the pOssibilit of at least carry
ing that one point. even if their can
didate did not succeed.
But the exclusive report of the AS
sOciated Press containing the words of
the plank had reached the east and
Mr.. Plat was deluged with kilograms
from eastern dnanciers.
The plank which had been agreed
upon is as follows.
