Attorney General A. G. B,sEop Of EtaE.
and Mr. E 81. Allison, 1r.. ex-State
senator of that state, OF salt Lake Cify,
are in Washington, at Wizards. Mr.
Allison has been III the city several da rs on

arguments we're conclrded Friday, Mr.
Allison said tc reporter for The Tines
last night:
-Ycu people here in Washington are

OWNERS of property adjoining these streets
would have tc pay all the expenses. but
the Improvements could be forced on them

the ease, as far as they are concerned, is
that the city weGt ahead and made the
Improvements, ard when it tried 10 vul

property holders are enjoying all the ben

1T seems probable that this condition

Supreme Court, believe, IS liable to throw
the matter out, on the ground that it has
TO jurisdiction. According To the law for
Territories no case can lie appealed from
the supreme court Of territory unless the
aIneant involved Is over $1,000. TIE
aggregate amount in this case is many

To hear his idees on reform,
Crowd in around the bar;
And where's a freer-hearted man
In all the town than he,
For jest afore election
He's ez good ez he kin be.
Since business is so sluggish like
And summer came so late,

Without the festive candidate;
With his smile so set and st1ddy,
And his glad, outreach1n' hano'
He sheds a sort of radiance
Wherever he may stand.

Why his beamin' face we see.

When the boy gave the information
asked, the gentleman turned pale,
hesitated, then asked where he lived.
The boy told him, and the man turned
paler still; then taking the boy by the
arm, he said in choked tone:
"You must be my nephew-my Sis
ter's child. We disagreed when we
were young, and I haven't seen hel
since. thought she was living in o
distant city. Take me to her."
And as the rich, prosperous man
went off with the poorly-dressed boy
to find his sister, the North Wind
laughed with delight and capered
about like some giddy, frisky little
April breeze.
"a good days work, and now fot

down to a steady, even pace. II

"Many thanks for your help" shout
ed that jolly fellow, "and Merry
Christmas to you"
But the North Winds work was not
complete until he had presented him
self to his Master and made his report.
When he had finished the Christmas
Angels gathered about him and sang a
beautiful Christmas carol to his praise.
But the Christ Child, whose birthday
is the Christmas Day, and who is the
Master of the North Wind and Santa
Claus and all the Christmas Angels,
smiled approvingly upon him and said,
"Well done" a....

"Oh, mamma" said the child. "lf
we only knew where they live, we
could send them some Christmas gifts.
There's the doll I dressed, and the
scrap books I made; and I have enough
pennies to buy something for the
little boy, if we only could find them" "
and the sweet voice was trembling
with excitement and regret.

smiling again at the child's eagerness.

"And if you find them I shall have a

not bear to have everybody doing 30

= The North Wind had fingered to
see if his further services would be
needed in behalf of the children's let
ter, but on hearing this he laughed
softly and resumed his journey. "No
need to give myself any uneasiness
about that" he chuckled. 'The
Brown youngsters will have Merry
Christmas without any more help from
me-" and he moved briskly on.
"Time's flying" he muttered, "and I
must be getting home; but there's
Just one more matter I must look after,
if it takes the rest OF the day." And
gathering up his cloak with a de-
termined air, he swooped down upon q
highly respectable looking and unsus-
pecting gentlemauwalking brisklyalong
the street, and lifting his hat from his
head, carried it off down the street
and around the corner at great rate.
The gentleman followed as quickly
as possible, but he was not SO brisk as
the North Wind, and would have
given up the chase in despair, but a
boy, light of weight and swift OF foot,
came to his help and soon brought
back the missing property.
The gentleman thanked his young
helper, and noticing how scanty was
his clothing for such cold, snowy
day, was prompted to ask his name.
