ANTE-CHRlSTMAS STORY.
An Unfortunate Man, Spendthrift
Wife and u Bonnet.

CHICAGO, Dec. 23.-There is one home in
this big city in which the fires Of Christmas
will burn slowly. In it. there will be no
Christmas carols and love songs-no myrtle
bougns, holly wreaths and cedar
branches with red and blue and white lights
and containing gaudily painted toys. In
stead, gloom and sadness and remorseless
anguish will have prominent places around
the family hearth. Such are the conditions
now, and such they will be for days to come
in the understanding but turbulent home
Of Charles j. Smith, 541 Thirty-ninth street.
And thereby hangs tale. Smith had been
out of work since 1894 up to a month ago.
He is g. railroad man, and because of his
activity in the strike three years ago has
been on the black list of the railroads But
he got a job four weeks ago with the Chi
cago & Alton. His first pay day came Mon
day. He proudly walked home. His wife
stood on the steps and welcomed his COM
ing with smiles. He gave her $7S. They
were behind with their rent and the larder
was almost empty. But they had good
supper The following day, TUESDAY, Smith
while returning from work, slipped on his
own steps and spraIned an ankle. He went
grooming into the house and wept at his
bad luck. Mrs. Smith was not at home.
stove was cold. Smith built a fire in the
sitting room. He sat down and waited.
Presently Mrs. Smith came cheerily in. Her
face was radiant. Her cheeks were all
agow. In one hand she held the family
purse In the other was a box. She con-
doled with her husband for a moment or SO
and then she opened the round, black thing
with string around it that she had got
at millinery store. Wouldn't Charlie be
proud of her. she thought to herself. The
box was opened and out, came ostrich
plumes, beads and birds heads and artificial
violets. These were fastened to d hat She
put it on. Did Charles look pleased? Wait
and see. She laughed, while Charlie looked
glum. He asked her to pull it off and let
him see it. The tag was still attached.
Eighteen dollars, exclaimed the injured
man. He forgot his sprained ankle. He
danced. He yelled like a Comanche. His
eyes shot forth streaks of fire. Electric
sparks flew from his finger-tips. The fire in
the hearth still burned. The hat went in
it. The plumes lit up the room. The light
fell on a woman whose heart had almost
stopped beating. Charlie continued to dance
viii; the hat burned. Mrs Smith sore AIMED.
She ran to the door She cried for help.
None came Then she sent for policeman.
Smith was arrested for lunacy, and that
charge still rested against him when he
faced Judge Wallace yesterday. Mrs. Smith
failed to appear against him and he was
dismissed. His ankle is still sore, while his
wifes heart is about dead

Pelted with Rotten Eggs.

GUTHRIE. o. t.. Dec. 23.-Col d. F.
Stiles, of the Oklahoma National Guard,
was pelted with rotten eggs last night at
the depot while about to board a train for
Oklahoma City. The assault was made by
four men, who stood in the shadow CT the
depot building. Colonel Stiles was bespat-
tered from head to foot, and was compelled
to return to his home. His assaildnts es-
capped. The affair is said to be the result
of bitter feeling among members of Com
pany A, in which Colonel Stiles recently re-
duced several noncommissioned officers to
the ranks Colonel Stiles. who is retired
captain of the United States Army, said to
day that he felt certain of the identity of
two of his assailants and that he would
bring criminal proceedings against them.

Pensions and Pensioners.

To the Editor OF the indianapolis Journal:
The Journal well remarks this morning
that the veterans had better attend to the
attacks that are being made upon their pen
sions than opposing the merit system. /
agree with the Journal, as the comrades
are butting their heads against stone wall
on that question, but, then, all veterans are
not opposed to the merit system; those that
are are now making all of the noise. The
pensioners have nothing to fear from the
present Congress or from Comrade McKin-
ley; they will take care of their interests
for while, at least. Neither have they
anything to fear from their open enemies
as the same gang has been fighting them
for many years, and what have they ac-
complished? Nothing. AS a witness, see
the bowls of paper in this city. Let the
heather rage, the old soldier has nothing
to fear from them. But he has from some
of his professed friends Take Pension
Commissioner Evans, for instance; he has a
great fad that he is running, | think, to it's
death, viz, to publish the entire list of per-
says it would be valuable for the use of eX-
aminerS in the field. RoShi 1t is simply
playing into the hands of our enemies, as it
indorses their cry of fraud, and they point
to Evans and say that he wants the names
published, as he believes that that will UNI
cover a great deal of fraud. If the special
examiners wish TO hunt up penSloner,
cannot the commissioner furnish the name
and address of the person wanted? Ger
tainly he can, He is a great stickler for
economy. Why does he wish to put the
government to that expense, for it was tried
once and it filled everybody with disgust
and was soon stopped. No veteran is OPP
posed to it only. on the ground that there is
no sense in 1t. No, no, Mr.. Commissioner;
Congress will never adopt your scheme.
Another thing that the commissioner is
now doing is to publish in the daily item of
DpnSiOnS i
the rating; if an increase, the former rating
and the increased rating. That is a new
thing. All of these movements are simply
for the purpose of bringing the pensioner
into contempt and to have him talked
about. None of these schemes serves any
good purpose, and come with poor grace
from the friends of the veteran, and espe-
cially from Republicans. VETERAN

Drv Goods,

NEW YORK. Dec. 2S-There have been further
advances following the movement in Fruit OF the
Loom and Lonsoaie beached cottons. There have
also been reductions in cotton goods and the mar
ket has seen this curious condition OF readJust-
ment where prices are tending both upwards and
down on the same day. Masonvile "A bleacn l1o
were advanced to SC, while Pepperell X brown
sheetings were reduced to 4ssc. The demand Tor
bleached cottons is well sustained where ad-
vances have not been made. The firm attitude
of sellers has stopped heavy trading in these lines
But, in other bleached goods there is still we'll
defined demand. Brown goods are, as a rule,
easy to buy, both in shirtihgs and in the wider
grades. Converters are fairly active operators In
some quarters. Jobbers in all staple cotton lines
are not represented extensively. There is very
little buying for export purposes. The market tor
coarse coored cottons is quiet in nearly all lines
In print cloths there is continued dullness.
