NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS.
This Tell. of One. but 1t Happened
on Christmas.

Speaking of Christmas cheer, new
year resolutions and mended ways, here
is little story that embraces them all.
cit comes from the lower walks of
life, I" as the story teller would put it
those walks that the dainty woman of
good fortune seldom sees the dismal and
intricate windings of. But it is down
among these winding ways that think
the echoes of the Christmas chimes and
the hope that comes from the beautiful
Christmas story mean most when they
are heard, and SO will tell it.
There was small promise of q happier
day than usual in the little two rooms
'back" where an industrious little wo.
man-what her name is does not mat
ter-and her three tiny children, all rs
neat as new pins, sat and waited.
Waited-for what?
1t was Christmas eve, and there is
always plenty to wait for on that eve
even Santa Claus himself might come!
But the waiting in the little two rooms
"back" was of the anxious sort. 1t was
for an unsteady footstep Holidays al
ways meant that the footstep would be
just trifle more unsteady than at other
times.
It was presently heard-just as the
faintest sound of the Ginning bells stole
up to the two rooms "back'-but it
was a lighter and more sober tread than
the industrious little woman aud her
three neat toddlers had heard for long
time. It was the step that was the out.
come Of good resolution made just a
little in advance of the new year and
in time to make Christmas day very
bright for all in the two rooms ''back. -
There was tiny Christmas tree next
morning for the children, who had been
hurried into bed as soon as the footsteps
were heard in the court below, and
there was turkey for ALL. and call
that with the turkey goes.
This was year ago and now few
days over. The little industrious wom-
an does not do go many family wash
ings" nowadays as formerly, and when
she took home her last small bundle of
beautifully ironed linen to its owner on
the Christmas eve that has just gone her
face looked very rosy and smiling, for
she said: 1.-THE children will have a
good Christmas tomorrow. John he
hasn't drank drop for this night one
year. "-St. Louis Republic.

The service in every respect was per-
feet, and manager Clark received num-
erous compliments upon the delicious
dinner-pronounced by many to be
the finest that they had ever partaken
of in Hot Springs. Certainly it could
scarcely have been improved upon, al
though it was prepared after eleven
o'clock that day.
Following the feast of good things
Mayor Hargens made few Welcoming
remarks, and called upon Messrs. Linn,
s. Il. Wilson, j. L. Burke and Col.
Kellar for remarks upon needed legis-
lation. The Soldiers Home, matters
of general interest, the warrant prob
lem and the National Sanitarium
question were each discussed, and
some happy remarks made. The leg
islature will be asked to do something
to prevent the indiscriminante use of
warrants in payment of taxes, and will
also be solicited to pass a memorial to
congress urging the passage of the
National Sanitarium bill in the inter-
est of the decrepit and declining vet
erans.
The time was fully occupied up to
the departure of the Elkhorn train,
when the legislators took their depart
ure for Pierre, taking with them the
well-wishes of the people of Hot
Springs, each of them expressing their
delight and appreciation of their treat
ment while in the city.

critical inspection, chaperoned by

manded by the rapidly increasing
membership of the home. They took
dinner at the Homo and afterwards
were photographed in front of the
Home, together with the o tficers and
members. In the afternoon the legis-
lators took in the plunge and other
wise enjoyed themselves in the balmy
atmosphere, viewing the handsome,
substantial buildings and making the
acquaintance of many of our citizens.
In the evening several of our citi-
zens planned pleasant surprise for
the visitors in the shape of six
o'clock dinner at the Evans. About
fifteen citizens joined the legislators
at the Evans ut that hour and were es-
corted to the dining room. where the
party of twenty were seated about the
beautiful banquet table. The dinner
consisted of nine courses, Chef Nichol-
son fairly outdoing his former envia-
ble reputation, the menu being as fol

Senator William E. Chandler, the
statwart Republican Z. s. Senator
from New Hampshire, from whom The
Press frequently quotes, is one of the
brightest and braniest men in the party,
and what he says is always interesting.
In an interview, in Washington, last
week he says concerning the political
situation
"The Republican party will most GER
tainly 90 down to defeat in the Con-
gressional elections next Fall, if the
campaign is fought upon the money
issue alone. The Republican Admins
tration must come out boldly for the
annexation of Hawaii and the freedom
of Cuba.
with q glorious American policy Of
adding territory to our domain and
giving liberty to an oppressed people,
the Republican majority will be 80 large
next Fall that we will never get through
counting it.
IF the United States should delibera-
tely and completely declare its deter
mination to make Cuba free, Spain will
not fire the first gun. There will be no
war. Cuba can be made free by the
United States. II, however, the alterna-
tive of war comes it would strengthen
the patriotism Of the American nation
to be concerned in the struggle of a peo-
pie who are seeking liberty"

With this issue OF The Press we
commence Volume Eight, and shall
do business at the old stand awhile
longer. We think we are justified i'm
saying that the paper is steadily
increasing in influence, as we know
it is in patronage, and we return
thanks to all who have in any way
contributed to it's success. 1t would
be a hopeless task to print a news
paper that would please everybody,
and one that we shall not undertake;
but we shall continue to be fair,
fearless and Independent, and ask
only to be judged with the same
degree OF federation that we gladly
cOncede to those who differ with us.
The Press willcontinuet to advocate
what it believes to be for the best
interests of town, county, state and
nation, and will always have
opinions upon the leading questions
of the day. 1t will not be the organ
of any man, or ring or clique, or
narrow itself to reflect the prejudices
of creed or a party. 1t will en-
deavor to treat all public questions
all persons and parties
fairly, but never in an evasive,
cringing or cowardly manner. Be
lieving that a good newspaper is the
best advertisement that any place
can have we shall try to make The
Press better than ever the coming
year. Send us one dollar to assist in
the good work.
