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 Is,
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 Jule-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.
ooh, that's for the birds, the little wild
birds. They must have a merry Christmas,
too, you know"
Yes, so it is; not peasant in Sweden will
sit down with his children to 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
kindlier 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 a day of gladness in Heaven, be-
cause the Christ of God has come into our
hearts.-United Presbyterian.

Santa Claus Shop.

The other day I ruined away.
Which gave my ma shock
/ didn't get back home, they say,
Till nearly six o'clock.
An then my ma she didn't scold.
But Rugged me tight. an then
She rocked and Rugged me till told
The places I had been.
An, say, you ought to seen her face
At last, when told how
I'd surely found the very place
Where Santa Claus lives now.
l told her how / didn't stop
A-runnin' nor turn back
Until ! came to Santa's shop,
An peeked In through n 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 II 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 go
An call on Santa Claus.

And the winds that riot and sigh,
Have their work to do ere the dreams
And Christmas CLOVIS in the sky.
The holly and cedar and mistletoe.
They thrilled when the nights were chill,
And the lovers foot on the sill.
For the Christmas mirth the brave pine
grew,
Serene and straight and tall.
40 deep woods knew In their dusk and
dew
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 it's corner for loves retreat
There the mark on the wall for the golden
head
Is higher a bit, for, 10!
Between Christmas coming and Christmas
sped
There's time for the BARN to grow.
Our Christmas comes with a royal grace,
(Forget the ancient grudgeO
IT'S the open hand that must bless the land.
(Uplift the toling drudgeD
And who that has gifts shall hold them
back.
When there's Joy in the sky. and the Ill
things fly,
And the Christ-Child knocks at the gate.
IT'S 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 boar
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.
IT'S beautiful task our Christmas brings
For old and young to share,
With jingle of bells, and silvery swells
or music In the air.
To make the sad world merry awhile,
And to Brighten sin away,
And to bless us all, whatever befall,
Is the task of Christmas day.

FOR many long years every Christmas has brought
visit from good old Kris Krinele.
Who with his pack loaded high with such gifts
A. make young hearts ,oyously Jingle;
And In oil these years has his bounty kept pace
With the wants Of his dear little people.
He has found every chimney, and few has he passed.
Were they tall a. the highest church steepe.

1T often Is wondered where Santa Claus gets
All the money II takes every season
To buy all the presentation buy them he must.
That he makes them Is not within reason.
II surely must cost him great deal Of cash
For the oceans Of gifts he dIsperses.
Such draft every Christmas could not well be met
BY the biggest and latest Of purses.

He must have mine on the Kondke. up North.

CHERRY GIRLS MOBBED.
Takes the Fire Department to
Queu the Disturbance

Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Jan. 22.-Word
from Iowa City received here this
morning says that a riot ragged there
for several hours last night over a the
atrical performance given by the Cher
ry Sisters. There are five of the young
women, and they are known throughout
the west for their total lack of dramat-
ic ability. They were first put on the
stage as a joke, but their dismal at
tempts to entertain were so ludicrous
as to make them a drawing card"
Then they toured the big cities of the
central and eastern states.
A number of state university stu
dents who attended last nights show
became so disguised that they started
a riot. The Cherry Sisters first looked
reproachful and then escaped through
the rear door of the theater, being es-
cOrted to their hotel by the police The
students jeered and Missed them, and
the tumult became so great that sever
al arrests were made.
But even then the police failed to
quen the disturbance and a fire depart
ment company was summoned Two
lines of hose were turned on the riot
ers. The chill of this drenching finally
discouraged the mob, which, however,
was not dispersed until midnight. Sew
eral persons were slightly injured.

Salt Lake, Utah. Jan. PA special to
the Tribune from Rawlins, Wyo., says:
President Sanford B. Dole, president of
the Hawaiian republic, and his party
passed through here last evening en- route
to Washington.
Mr. Dole was questioned concerning the
purposes of his visit and the chances for
securing annexation. He said he pre-
ferred not to talk FOR publication on an
neXatiOn matters while the question is di-
rectIy before congress. He had been sent
to the United States by the council of
statehood. because it was the general de-
sire of influential men of Hawaii that he
should come for the purpose Of comforting
with the Hawaiian delegation at WashingT
ton and with President Mckinley and the
officers of his admins tration- If it was
desired, he was prepared to give all the
information on Hawaiian affairs at his
command to the officers.
Concerning the franchise in Hawaii.
President Dole said the sentiment was
strongly against extending it to japanese
and Chinese residents
In the event of failure to secure annex
alton. President Dole thought the present
form OF government would be continued
The growth and commercial Importance
of the islands would be greatly retarded
if annexation should fail. Should the
treaty he ratified, the close relations
would afford a great opportunity for

DISTRICT BONDS.
Topeka Board of Education to Take
Action in Regard to Them.


The board of education of Topeka
met Friday evening in special session
to discuss the district bond question,
about which so much trouble has arisen.
Bonds for outlying school districts
which were taken into the city juris-
dictiOn in 1889 are now held by the
state of Kansas and they are past due.
The total Indebtedness now confront
ing the board is about $25, The
board has consulted an attorney in the
matter and has decided that the school
districts, on which the original debts
were made, are partly responsible in
the matter.
At the meeting of the board, repre-
SentativeS from the three school dis
tricts were present and the matter was
discussed at much length. No decision
could be reached for the reason that
the district representatives thought the
board was wholly responsible. A COM
mittee consisting of Edward Wilder,
William Macferran, and W. NJ. ThOmp-
son, was appointed to confer with the
committees from the three school dis
trictS in the hopes of reaching an equi-
table settlement. 1t is probable that
compromise will be made and the re
port of the committee made at the
next meeting of the board which will be
February Z.
Matters to be considered by the COM
mitteeS are those of taxes past due. de-
probation of the property since it's ad-
ditiOn to the city and the matter of tu-
itiOn for students in the outlying dis.
tricts. A refunding bond will have to
be given by the city.
