cHRISTrIAS GIFTS FOR THE POOR
CHILDREN OF ARDMORE.

Between the dark and the daylight,
When the light is beginning to-
lower,
Comes pause in the days occupa-
ton
That is known as the 'children's
hour''
Every mother knows something
of what this little verse means,
whether she ever read our brave
and honored Longfellow's beautl-
poem THE Children's Hour" or
not. We know how sacred and
sweet is the hour between the dark
and the daylight, when the doors
are closed, the blinds are lowered,
the days work is done, the hour
FORREST and quiet in the home cir
Gle has come. The children are
gathered in from school and from
play and their little tasks what
ever they may be-, and mother,
father and little ones have an hour
all to themselves. IT'S then they
hold sweet converse together of
the successes and failures Of to-
day and of the hopes and ambi-
tionS for tomorrow. Oh, who
would be deprived of the chill
dren's hour!" Each night as
the night is beginning to lower"
we find ourselves looking for
ward to it, anticipating its sweet
pleasures. And If this be true of
every day in the year, even those
that seem commonplace to us, how
much more is it true of Christmas
eve, when we see the expectant
faces of our little ones, hear them
chatter of the beautiful things to-
morrow - Christmas day = will
bring, and feel the satisfaction of
knowing their innocent wants will
be gratified! We have planned
many happy surprises for our Gear
children; but have we thought of
the children of the poor-those un-
fortunates who have no home, who
know no children hour"
While we thought Of the Xmas
turkey, brown and dripping and
tempting, the sweets and fruit and
cake to make glad the hearts of
our own household, have We
thought of the poor who scarcely
know Christmas is coming-and
when it has come will mean moth
ing more to them than other days?
1t has no beautiful meaning to
them. They cannot celebrate it
themselves, and perhaps hereto
fore no one has helped them to re-
member it. Can we not see that
they, too, have a turkey, a chick
en- or a roast for this one day in
the year, which, of all days in the
year, is the one on which we
should think least of ourselves and
most of others? Let us not give
them things to eat alone. Give
them a toy, book, a few mar
bles, a top, or even tin horn

hood, no matter if the small
boy" who gets it makes enough
noise to bring down the walls of

prairie, where no harm can be

you went gaily in and out the toy

things so temptingly displayed for

also noticed the pathetic faces of

the return OF the officers to Spain.
Naval officials make no concealment OF
their anxiety TO get rid OF Captain Con-
cas- and all the other Officers at Annapo-
lis and Norfolk who are on parole. but
there is no intention to release the officers
until Spain makes some provision for the
ordinary seamen. Spain's reply 10 the
presidents original offer 10 surrender all
the prisoners on parole was as follows:
owing TO the existence OF a Spanish
law to the effect that any Spanish sailor
accepting parole in order TO procure his
release Is liable 10 punishment. the gov
ernmert is unable to act upon the sugges-
ton Of the United States and remove the
prisoners captured by the destruction OF
Admiral Cervera's feet TO Spain"
1t is the impression in the navy depart
ment. as Spain is more particular about
prohibiting ordinary seamen to accept pa
role than she is in the case OF the su-
perior officers. that some Interior motive
must be at the bottom Of the matter and
that possibly that If her officers were re-
turned home the Spanish government
would take no further interest in the
sailors but leave them as prisoners upon
the charity OF the United States. 1t is
certain. therefore. that the officers will re-
main under restraint as long as the men
are confined, and II Spain continues to be
Indifferent 1t is possible that some of the
luxuries will be taken from the officers
and therefore will be made to feel in a
measure that they are in fact prisoners
of war.

Spanish naval prisoners on parole for

clined by Premier Sagasta, has had the
indirect result of alternating most Of the
ordinary prisoners, as well as many OF
the officers from their mother country.
The navy department may eventually be
compelled to abandon the comparatively
luxurious treatment 1t has accorded these
men and put them to work. There are

THE INDIANA KICKS.


WASH lNGTON. August &.-Captain
Taylor OF the bawleshlp Indiana, has
written letter to Admiral Sampson, In
which he complains that the admiral in

crew the recognition they deserved for

told that the Baron de Hirsch fund custo-
dians had asked his cooperation to form
colonies of poor Jews. and thus relieve the
great congestion on the east side They
were all willing to leave New York
When Mr. Schoenfeld appeared he said
that what the men heard was true He
knew that the Baron de Hirsch fund peo-
pie had been negotiating for the purchase
Of land for colony. He had had a long
consultation with Jacob Goldman of the
de Hirsch fund in regard to what could be
done for the thousands of garment workers
who of necessity must go without work
months and months every year on account
of the surplus of labor in the market. Mr.
Schoenfeld went on to say:
Il told them that they would have either
TO secure TO the men profitable employment
SO that they could move uptown from the
overcrowded district, or to help them get

would come to look for it regularly and
then could not be persuaded to move from
the east side or leave the city. / promised
