trousers and socks. When we got down
stairs we found the parlor door wide
open, the room lighted, and the stranger
stood at the table with the watch in his
hand. We had crept down so softly that
he heard nothing. He was fully dressed
and as we watched him he pocketed the
timcpiece and removed the wrapper from
the shawl. Sans idea had been to raise
an alarm, but n sense of heplessness
crept over him, and his teeth began to
chatter before mine did. The man turned
the lamplight almost out. He passed
within foot of u.s. unlocked the door
and softly closed it behind him. Sam
drew me across to the side window, pulled
aside the curtain and said:
Hes got the watch and shawl and is
now after the span of horses"
The stables were in the basement of the
barn and half underground. The win
dows were very small and the door a
stout one. Mis- door had no lock, but
fastened with lVlsp and pin. We watched
the man until hA opened the door and en-
tered the stables, and then Sam said:
'Iou stand right here and hold the
door a little open for me-
What are you going to do?"
'I'm going to shut him in the stable.
Don't boiler nor run away, for I'll be
back in a minute"
Out into the snow and cold dashed Sam,
running like a deer and as noiseless as a
cat. He found the door shut, and it did
not take him ten seconds to lift up the
hasp and slip the pin through the staple.
When he came back we aroused father
and mother, routed out the neighbors,
sent for the Sheriff, and in about an hour
the door was unfastcned and the fellow
invited to come out He had strapped
mothers new shawl on one of the horses
for saddle and fathers Santa Claus
watch was ticking away in his vest
pocket. He was marched off to Jail while
the ROSTERS were growing for Christmas.

returned to the house-"boys, | thank We

which is something I've sorter wanted for
years, but let me jest tell We that We both

"And boys" added mother, with tears
in her eyes, as she Rugged the shawl and

had just come home from Hebron. His
wife had heard him drive into the barn
yard and had made haste with her sup
per that it might be ready and hot when
he came in. She had also bathed her
eyes hastily in cold water that he might
not know that she had been crying. Her
heart had been so heavy with thoughts
of Jenny.
How'd you happen to come in at the
front door?' she asked.
You mustn't ask questions so near
Christmas time" he said in a voice so
light and joyous and jovial that she look
ed up quickly. He picked up a lamp and
said:

before supper"
A moment later he called out cheerily:
Come in here an see your Christmas
gift, ma. It's such beauty l cant wait
until morning"
When she reached the open door of
the parlor she saw her husband on his
knees between little boy of about +
years and Il little girl of >, his arm around
their waists. A little woman. with thin.
pale, tearstained face showing beneath
her cheap little mourning bonnet, was
standing behind Jason.
'Why-w hy-.Icnny!
'And this is Walter Jason. named for
me. and this is Marthy Isabelle, named
for YOU" said Jason joyously.

Buffalo, N. Y, Dec. .-Immigra
ton Inspector De Barry has received
from Washington notice of new rul.
ing by the secretary of the treasury ON
the alien labor law. The ruling is on
the question that was raised in this
city two years ago as to whether the
Canadian trained nurses who come to
this country to work in hospitals do SO
in violation of the law. When the
question was raised before, it was
held that they could not be interfered
with, as they were semi professional
persons. Now, the secretary Of the
treasury has ruled that these nurses
can be deported. Mr.. De Barry said
that all of these nurses would be de.
ported. Inspector Estell, of Ogdens.

DRiETED ON THE BEACH.
German Bark POtrimpos High and Dry
ON Warrington Coast.


Astoria, Or, Dec. 22.--The fourth
deep sea vessel to go ashore Oh the
Washington beach this year was strand
ed at 1880 o'clock this morning at Pa
cific Park, about six miles north of
Ilwaco, close to the spot where the
Strathblahe went ashore in 1891.
This time the vessel is the German
bark Potrimpos. Captain Henry Helle.
wege, in ballast from Mazatlan, Mexi-
co. to the Columbia river. The officers
and crew mum bered eighteen, and all
were saved by the Ilwaco beach life
saving crew, who arrived on the scene
soon after the disaster occurred. just
before their arrival, however, six sail
ors from the vessel landed in one OF the
ships boats. 1t is very lucky that all
hands landed without mishap, as the
surf breaks heavily all around the ship
at high water. Two of the crew of
the Inflated Glenmorag were killed in
attempting to do just what part of the
Potrimpos' crew did, namely, launch
ing one of the ships boats in the surf
The ship is in good condition, hav-
ing received no serious injury while
crossing through the surf. She now
lies SO high on the beach that at half
tide person can walk to her dryshod.
According to the captains story, at
daybreak this morning he sighted land
and was on the lookout for pilot Or
tug, but the vessel soon became per-
fectly helpless and drifted towards
shore. The captain ordered both
anchors out. The order was no sooner
given than 1t was carried out. but the
current, which sets in very strongly
all along the beach at certain stages
of the tide, was too strong, and the
ship dirfted through the breakers and
on to the beach, both anchors still be-
ing out.
The Cape Disappointment lifesaving
crew left for the scene Of the wreck on
special train, but arrived too late to
assist in landing the crew.
The ship lies broadside on the beach,
high and dry, but if work is COM
menced Immediately. and arrangements
made 80 that lines can be passed out to
a tug, she can be safely pulled off at
the next high tide, which occurs on
the gath inst The vessel is in plain
sight of the stranded Glenmorag.
The men and officers have come
ashore, and the captain will stay by
until some definite plans are agreed
upon.

There was string of blue glass beads
that he had given her on her fifth birth
day and in heavy black case was n
dagucrreotype of her with the beads

CHRISTMAS LONG AGO.
Whom All the Presents Had to Go
Into the Christmas Stocking.


Robert j. Burdette, in the Ladies'
Home Journal. tells in his humorous way
how he remembers the Christmas of long
ago: "Alost of the Christmas presents
in those days were designed by the man
ufacturer for the hanging stocking. Any
thing too big to go into a stocking had to
go over to somebody's birthday. In any
family where there was more than one
child the old reliable 'Noah's Ark was
always looked for. We hailed with ac-
carnations of astonshed recognition
Noah and Mrs. Noah, Messrs. and
Mines. Shen. Ham and Japhet. There
was no way of telling the men and wom-
en- apart, they were exactly alike, but the
elephant and giraffe you could distinguish
at a glance, on account of the spots on
the giraffe. So also the dog and the
COW, because the COW was always white
and blue. while the dog was invariably
plain blue. Within twenty-four hours
after the landing on Ararat the baby
would have all the paint sucked off Shem,
Ham and the hired man, and the doctor
would be sent for.
