Once upon a midnight dreary, as l

Christmas presents that boyish fancy
draws. while with sleep tried to tus-
sic, tried with all my might and mus
Gle, suddenly heard a rustic, like the
noise of Santa Claus Though with
fright l fairly shuddered, for fright
had no cause-it was only Santa Claus.
Then | listened more intently to the
sound that crept up gently to my cham
Der, where my wonder almost caused
my heart to pause, and heard the can
dy splitting, as the stocking he was fill
ing, and l wished I'd left shilling
there for dear old Santa Claus. And the
noise heard SO plainly i'll the room adj
joining pas was only Santa Claus.
Anxious now to get a peep, down the
stairway did creep, all impatient for a
glance, although against the laws, and
it filled my heart with dread, as with
sudden fear he fed and jumped into
mammals bed-naughty, naughty Santa
Claus! And the stories that we hear
each year are as thin as summer gauze.

The Useful Holly.

If we believe Pliny, the Roman his
torian and naturalist, the holly is po-
tent tree, exclusive of it's Christmas
privileges. AS far back as his time it
was planted near dwelling houses to
preserve them from lightning. The
learned philosopher not only tells us
this, but says that it's flowers cause wa
ter to freeze, and that if staff of it's
wood be thrown at any animal, even if
it fall short of touching it, the animal
will be so subdued by it's influence as
to return and lie down by it. AS the
American holly blooms in June it will
be easy to try the effect on water.
Holly has also found place in medi-
cine, but it involves such heroic treat
ment that l fear the faculty will scarce
" approve it. In many districts of Eng
land the country people advise you to
thrash your chilblains with holly leaves
and assure you that it is perfect cure.
1t may be- There it has also been rec
commended in decoction of the leaves
for rheumatism and for intermittent
fever. Lonicerus recommends it for a
pain in the side commonly called "a
stitch.
Sheep and deer will eat holly in hard
winter, and branches are fed to cattle
for fodder in France when other food
is scarce.
The holly Of Europe ard the holly of
the United States each will grow to be

wood is even grained, white as ivory,

Dana's Paper Leaves Democracy and
EspOuses Republication.
New York, Oct. 14.-The Sun, which
for some years was the best known
democratic newspaper in the east and
the Tammany organ in this city, but
which supported Mckinley in the last
national election, this morning makes
formal announcement of its republican
ism. The Sun says:
''The democratic party Of 1897 is the DEM
ocratic party of Chicago and of the Bryan
campaign. 1t is the only potent and eff
f1cient organization now wearing the name
Of democracy. It represents those prin-
ciples, those tendencies and those purposes
in contemporaneous American politics
which the Sun abhors. We have accord
ingly repudiated its platform and opposed
its candidates. and we are splitting no
hairs over the venerated name itself.
"An overruling providence has decreed
that the republican party in the closing
years of the nineteenth century, should
stand for the gold standard, the 100-cent
dollar, the honest redemption Of public
and private obligations, the preservation
of existing institutions against the as
saults of the radicals and the annihilators,
the material prosperity of all our indus
trial interests, the American idea in our
foreign affairs, and that national policy
of expansion which Is to make the Sec
ond hundred years of existence of this
government as wonderful and inspiring a
story as has been the first. For all this
the republican party stands, up to date,
like a rock; and for all this, II the re-
publican party is not responsible, no party
Is responsible. While 1t so stands, and
while it's responsibility is such, the Sun
Is with 1t heart and soul in national, state
and municipal politics.
