Truths taught by Christmas.-LUKE
,: $40.
The first truths that Christmas
brings to our minds is. that God so
loved us that He sent His only son in
to the world to be our Saviour. This
was the first announcement the angels
made to the shepherds. Jesus came
to save US from the curse that was
put upon man at the time our first
parents disobeyed God.
Christ also came to bring peace, the
angels sang Of this in their songs
when they visited the shepherds on
the night Of the birth Of Jesus He
came to be an example to us and to
show US how to live in harmony one
with the other, but Christ did not
come to the earth to reyolutioniZe
everything He said II came not to
destroy the law but to fulfil it" He
came to do all in His power to eX-
terminate evil and to promote good
and to establish pure religion.
Jesus did not always use peaceful
ways Of bringing about His wishes, for
at one time lie used quite energetic
means Of clearing the temple Of the
wicked men that had gathered in it,
but when he did do anything of this
kind He was sure that good results
would ron, a frnp, ~

"rwo MONTHS wAGEs DONE COME
EDanuaI Darkey's Remark When
He Spilled a Lawyer Out of His
NnRnn.


Wagon.
A young Savannah lawyer was feeling
rather sore yesterday over little ex-
perience he had up in Emanuel county
with a drunken negro and a skittish
horse. Every time he stretches himself
now he does it to the accompaniment of
a grunt brought forth by the protest CT
aching muscles, The only thing he has
as a solace is the good laugh that comes
whenever he thinks of the darkey.,
The attorney had been attending court
at Swainsboro. Night before last he de-
cided he would make his way back home.
There was no train from Swainsboro con-
Meeting with the Central at Midwife, now
ever, so he had to engage a team from a
liveryman to make the trip through the
country. The dicker was made and the
lawyer started out with darkey driving
a good big horse, that showed every evil
dence of being able to step right along.
II was not long before the lawyer had
decided that he had rather a reckless driv-
err He called him down about driving
over a pile of lumber at the start This
did not seem to have much effect, for pres
emily it was discovered that the wrong
road had been taken out of town. This
did not daunt the driver, however, and
he did some fancy driving across piAce
of woodland until he got in the right road
again. The lawyer doesn't mind a little
piece of fast travelling at times, and the
steeplechase went off all right, but after
they had gotten back in the road he
thought things might just as well quiet
down a little. He noticed that the wheels
had straddled one of the ruts and that
the side of the road was being encroached
upon. The horse was spinning along at
a good pace, and the lawyer was just pre-
pairing to call the driver down in his most
approved style when they hit snag.
When the axle of the buggy struck the
stump the two occupants were shot head
foremost over the dashboard. The horse
wasn't phazed by the shock. 1t didn
seem to have any effect at all upon nim
He kept going right on, with the shafts
after him.
The lawyer got all the breath knocked
out of him by the shock of his sudden
fall In the sandy road.
Slowly he picked himself up, feeling all
sorts of queer sensations in his back and
head He looked over at the darkey, VINO
was carefully raising himself from the
ground. He had a woebegone expression
on as he said,N "Oh, God, deres two
months wages done gone all at once"
This made the lawyer laugh or he would
have been fighting mad. The two made
the best of their way back to Swainsboro,
which was not far away, and another team
and another driver was secured. The trip
was then made without further misad-
ventures.

hut the Court Refused to Award Its
Custody to Her.
Judge Hampton L. FerriIl had before him
Yesterday case which has been pending
in the Court of Ordinary practically for
the last six years.
Way back in 1892, Herbert Aikens. the
minor child of Lola Aikens, came Into the
possession of Joseph Simmons, deputy
sheriff, through the Court of Ordinary.
After hearing the child was awarded to
his custody in March of that year.
A short time ago Lola Aikens brought
another petition before the court, stating
that she is now employed as a nurse at
the Georgia Infirmary, where she Is max
ing $40 a month. She stated that she was
able to take care of the child and desired
custody of him. After a hearing of all
the evidence in the case, Judge Ferrill
awarded the custody of the child to Lou
isa Simmons, wife of Joseph Simmons.
There is a chance Of the case being APP

swITzERLAND's DEATH PENALTY,
Strong Movement in the Little Re
public for Its Re-cstablishment.
From the New York Tribune.

FROM the new \ Ofk lFlDune.
There is already movement in some
cantons of Switzerland against the recent
abrogatlon of the death penalty. il has
been reported that Lucchesi, the assassin
of Empress Elizabeth, has written to the
Swiss president a letter requesting that
his trial should take place in the Ducerne
Canton, and not In that of Vaud Geneva
where the death penalty has been abol-
ighed. This Is mere buster, for the muir
derer knows very well that in order to give
to him punishment equal to his crime,
a whole country would not change sud
denly its penal and constitutional laws.
On the other hand, IL these laws are not
changed Immediately. IL will be on ac-
count Of the stupid buster Of the Mon
archists and reactonarlcs, who declare
that, to punish the country for crime
committed on her territory, Switzerland
should be annihilated and divided among
the neighboring Powers, to which she was
an alleged perpetual danger. because, like
England. she gave an asylum to political
exiles. This was a foolish threat from
old fogy' European diplomats, who vol
UNFAIRLY ignore the fact that the Swiss
authorities have always displayed great
energy in discovering and arrestng an
archsts living in their territory; and who
ignored also the aWflh lesson which SWitz-
erland taught In the fields of Granson
Morot, and others, to crowned despots
who tried to interfere with her policy and
her independence.
1t was IN the year 1879 that began the
movement in favor of the re-establishment
OF the death penalty in Switzerland,
movement which may be taken up again
soon. Three thousand names were writ
ten 10 a petition, requesting the revision
of article LXV OF the federal constitu-
ton, which prohibited the death penalty
throughout all the republic. on March %
of that year the council of states, by
majority of % to 10. abolished the article.
The national council, the popular House,
rejected by % votes to 62 the proposition
to abrogate the article. The question had
assumed meanwhile a political character
between the Federalists and the Canton
alists. the latter being anxious to restore
TO the Cantons their sovereignty In penal
matters, and the former being DESTROYS to
restrict as much as possible the Cantonai
powers Finally the council of states and
the House arrived at an agreement which
was ratified by the popular vote on May
1s, 1879. That agreement was IN conform
ity with the constitutional articles of 1913
Article 65 was abolished every Canton
was free to adopt or reject the applica-
ton OF the death penalty; single restric-
ton was imposed upon them by the new
article to the effect that the death pen
atty should never be applied In the case
of political crimes.

opals are coming into fashion again,
but the old superstition as TO the III luck
attending them is not dead in Spain.
Spanish people believe that all the trials
that have come 10 the reigning house are
through the influence Of a cursed opal
ring.
The ring belonged to that famous
beauty, the Comtesse de Casuglione.
One of the admirers of this beauty was
Alfonso XII of Spain. She thought he
was going to marry her. but he did not,
and she resolved on revenge. She sent
him this magnificent ring.
The King showed II to his wife. Queen
Mercedes, who was charmed with its
beauty and begged to keep 1t. Alfonso
gave 1t to her readily and she slipped II
on her finger. From that moment she
pinned away, and in a few months died.
The ring fell from her dead hand and
the King gave 1t to his grandmother
Queen Christina, who died few months
later.
Next the ring was given TO Alfonso's
sister, the Infanta Maria del Pillar who
wore n but few days before she died
of a mysterious Illness.
After this series OF fatalities the King
determined to keep the ring himself and
he slipped II on MS Hngef. from that
moment his health commenced to fail, and
In twenty-four hours he was dead. Ply
scians could never quite account for IT,
and the matter was hushed up
Queen Christina, who Is not in any
wise supersttious. took possession Of the
ring after her husbands death, but the
other members of the family begged her
TO destroy L. This she refused to do but
to prevent It from doing other damage
she hung II about the neck of tha ma trnu
saint, where 1t Is to-day.
