Christmas for the Birds.

Christmas is celebrated in Sweden to an
extent unknown in the United States, and
the celebration is not over till January l3,
or twentieth day Yule" A very pretty
feature of the festivities is thus described by
Mr.. Thomas in his Sweden and the
Swedes:"
One wintry afternoon, at julie tide, had
been skating on pretty lake three miles
from Gothenburg. On my way home noticed
that at every farmers house there was
erected in the middle of the dooryard pole,
on the top of which was bound large, full
sheaf of grain.
"Why is this?" asked my comrade.
''Oh, that's for the birds, the little wild
birds. They must have merry Christmas.
too, You know
Yes, SO it is; not peasant in Sweden will
sit down with his children to a Christmas
dinner within doors till he has first raised
aloft Christmas dinner for the little birds
that live in the cold and snow without

It's Happy Influence.

Blessed Christmas! 1t makes our hearts
tender. 1t helps us, for the time being at
least, to throw away selfshness 1t helps us
to be liberal, more open-hearted. We feel
kindler toward every one, and thousands
of cold and selfish hearts seem to thaw out
under the influence of the Christmas season,
as the SHOWS on the mountain side melt
under the genial rays of the sun. The beauty
and fragrance of hearts come out under
its spell, as the violets and anemones bloom
into beauty at the call of spring.
To-day, as we give gifts to friends, let us
not forget the God who gave us all, and the
Christ who died to save us. Let it be real
Christmas to our souls, day of rejoicing on
earth, and day Of gladness in Heaven, be-
cause the Christ of God has come into our
hearts.-United Presbyterian.

Santa Claus Shop.

The other day runned away.
Which gave my ma a shock.
I didn't get back home, they say,
Till nearly six o'clock.
An then my ma she didn't scold,
But hugged me tight, an then
She rocked and hugged me till I told
The places I had been.
An, say, you ought to seen her face
At last, when I-told how
I'd surely found the very place
Where Santa Claus lives now.
I told her how didn't stop
A-runnin' nor turn back
Until 1 came to Santa's shop.
An peeked in through a crack
An how he sat there making toys,
AS busy as could be
The very kind that little boys
Got on the Christmas tree.
He looked so pale, and tired, too,
thought 1t was shame;
An say. didn't know, did you,
That Santa Claus was lame?
An when told my ma, you know,
She kissed me twice, because
She said tomorrow that she'd 20

"hE COMES LIKE a FLASH DOWN THE MOUNTAIN"

IT often IS wondered where Santa Claus gets
Al-the money It takes every season
To buy all the presents for buy them he must,
That he makes them is not within reason.
It surely must cost him great deal Of cash
For the oceans Of gifts he disperses,
Such adraft every Christmas could not we'll be met
By the biggest and latest Of purses. !,
Willmar tribune., 1897-12-28

THERE'S only one way to account for the cash
: That Santa setlavishly scatters
He must have a mine on the ;Klondike, up North,
Where cart-loads Of gold are small matters.
Perhaps every summer he puts in his time
Digging cold for his Christmas expenses;
Such plan1it would seem, is = good one. indeed.
iAnd devoid Of all shallow pretenses. s.,
Willmar tribune., 1897-12-28

AND then, when he gets all his presents prepared.
He comes like flash down the mountain.
His swift-slidne skees shooting skyward the snow,
Till it looks like feathery fountain:
When he lands in the valley he jumps in his sleigh,
And off DER the world goes aftyine.
To fill all the stockings that yavn for his gifts.
Every wish to grant earnestly trying. .,

And the winds that riot and sigh
come true
And Christmas glows in the sky.
The holly and cedar and mistletoe,
They thrilled when the nights were chill,
For the maiden's glance and the madcap
dance
And the lovers foot on the SILL
For the Christmas mirth the brave pine
Serene and straight and TALL
The deep woods knew in their dusk and
When the dearest of days would fall.
To the beautiful home our Christmas comes,
To the home that Is safe and sweet,
With its door ajar for the beam of the Star,
And its corner for loves retreat.
There the mark on the wall for the golden
Is higher bit, for, 10!
Between Christmas coming and Christmas
There's time for the BARN to grow.
Our Christmas comes with royal grace
(Forget the ancient grudgeO
'Tis the open hand that must bless the land.
Uplift the toiling drudgeD
And who that has gifts shall hold them
back,
And who that has cheer shall wait,
When there's JOY in the sky, and the ill
things fly,
And the Chrst-Ch knocks at the gate
"Tis beautiful time when Christmas comes
All up the street and down,
For hearts alight make faces bright
When Christmas comes to town.
Neighbor and friend in gladness meet
And all are neighbors dear,
When the Christmas peace bids evil cease
In the holiest day Of the year.
The fair white fields in silence lie,
Invisible angels go
Over the floor that sparkles hOar
With the glitter of frost and snow.
And they scatter the infinite balm of heaven
Wherever on earth they stray.
And heavens own store of bliss they pour
On the earth each Christmas day.
'Tis beautiful task our Christmas brings
For old and young to share,
With Jingle of bells, and silvery swels
OF music in the air.
To make the sad world merry awhile,
And to frighten sin away,
And to bless US all, whatever befall,
Is the task Of Christmas day.

SUICIDE IN ALEXANDRIA.

ALEXANDRIA, VA, December H.
(SpeciaI)- MIR. Joseph Lash. a well-known
resident of this city, and prominent
Republican politician, committed suicide
here to-day by drowning. The unfortu-
nate man had been in ill-health for some
time and had made previous attempts at
self-destructlon. A few days ago he
tried to Jump into the river from one OF
the Alexandria and Washington Terry
boats.
Mr.. Lash arose this morning at day
break. and was seen walking rapidly
down Prince street, in the direction OF
the vharves. Shortly afterward, the
residents along that portion OF the river
front were startled by screams for help'
apparently proceeding from the NortolK
dock. and a large crowd soon gathered
there. But before assistance could be
rendered the drowning man, he sank
from sight. 1t seems that Lash, when
he found himself in the water, changed
his mind about committing suicide, ana
made frantic efforts TO save himself. Inc
body was soon recovered and removed 10

The deceased was at one time In the

HANGING OF HARDIN.
EXECUTED At GRUNDY, BUCHANAN
COUNTY, YESTERDAY.
The History of the Crime-Iiis Vie
tim, George Mounts, Shot Down I'm
n Lonely PIace-No witnesses for
the Defence.

WEIGH, w. VA. December H.-(Spe-
cial.)--John Hardin, who has been con-
fined in Tazewell county jail for the past
two months, was taken to Grundy, the
county seat OF Buchanan county. and
hanged at that place to-day.
The crime for which John Hardin paid
the penalty with his life, was the muir
der OF George Mounts on the 18th OF last
September. Mounts had been paying con-
siderable attention to Hardin's wife. The
two men had several quarrels over the
woman but never came TO blows, ana the
matter terminated in Mounts's taking her
to his home He made the threat that
he would keep her or kill Hardin. This
aroused Hardin's anger to it's highest
pitch, and on the night of September
18th he waylaid Mounts on dreary
mountain road and shot him to death
without giving him moments warning.
Hardin then fled to the mountains. Seve-
raj days later Mounts's body was found,
and as parties knew the two men had
not been on friendly terms, and Hardin
had suddenly disappeared, the solving
of the mystery was an easy matter. A
Sheriff's posse at once began securing
the country in search of Hardin, and he
was captured at Dingess. In the mean
time, a number of citizens had organized
a party TO join in the search, and when
he was captured a lynching was only
averted by the Sheriff stopping passing
freight train and rushing his prisoner to
Jail. Hardin was tried at the last term
of the Circuit Court of Buchanan county
and sentenced to hang December lfth.
The most remarkable incident OF the
trial was that he was tried and con-
victed without a single witness being
sworn in by the defence.
John Hardin was only 81 years of age,
and had always been considered peace
able citizen. He had only been married
a short time when he committed the rash
deed for which he paid the penalty to-
daV
