ELI ON CHRISTMAS GIFTS.

| Every winter the people of this grelt | land of the free who have not been blown up the previous Fourth of July or killed at the ward club elections buy one another Christmas prs nts.

 So it is that people who wouldn't vol untarily get mixed up in crowd go down to the depar, ment sto- es and buy the tr5asu3 e5 of GOlccnGa an1 the wealth Of Ind and lay them at the fe-t of these they love, and they s&Culder and crowd and fight and think prcfcna language, and get thoir feet worked up into Hamburger steaks and ther ribs bruised and their eyes g5uged and the buttons rippsd eff their clcShing, and after two hours tussle With packed humanity snd fate they buy a rock ng horse and an aluminium soap case, and they give the rocking horse to grandpa, who is paralyzed and can't usa it, and the aluminium soap case to UGcle Joshua, who never travels and who accepts the little offsrirg in the light of an insinUaticn. Then they remember little Willis, and they gc. lack and buy him a nice embroidered tidy fir the back of his high chair.

THE FATE OF THE TREATY.

The efforts of the anti-imperialis league-which has the majority of it! members in the east-to influence thf senate against the ratification Of thG peace treaty, makes a survey of the senate an interesting study just now Of the ninety senators who answered the roll call on the opening day thf democrats will have thirty-four votes the populists six, and the republicans including Teller Of Colorado, Cannon of Utah, Jones and Stewart of Nevada, fifty. On international questions the silver republicans will support the re- publican party.
 The list Of stalwart republicans is as follows: Perkins of California Wolcott of Colorado. HawIey and Platt of Connecticut, Shoup of Idaho, Gull lem and Mason of Illinois, Fairbanks of Indiana, Allison and Gear of Iowa, Baker of Kansas, DebOe of Kentucky, Hale and Frye of Maine, Wellington of Maryland, Lodge and Hoar of MasSs- chusetts, Burrows and McMillen Of Michigan, Davis and Nelson of
 
 Montana, Thurston Of Nebraska, Chandler and Gallinger of New Hampshire, Sewell of New Jer- sey, Pritchard of North Carolina, Platt of New York, Hansbrough of North Dakota, Foraker and Hanna of Ohio, Mcbride and Simon of Oregon, Quay and Penrose of Pennsylvania, Aldrich and Wetmore of Rhode Island, Petit grew of South Dakota. Proctor and Morrill, of Vermont, Wilson of Wash ington, Elkins of West Virginia. Spooner Of Wisconsin, Clark and War ren of Wyoming.
 Some Of these have expressed opin- Notably among them Hale, Hear, Nor Till and Pettigrew. The first three arg from the east where the anti-expaDsioD sentiment is strongest At the ul5i- mate test these four will not assume the responsibility of voting against their party, and when the last vote is taken it is improbable that theirs will be among those who negative the treaty. They are republicans, and will hesitate before voting in direcl Oppo- sition to the other republican members and the wish of the administration.
 It is not to be presumed that all of the populist and democratic senators are against ratifying the treaty. Sen ators Heitfeld of Idaho, Harris of Kansas, Turner of Washington, Nor gan and Pettus of Alabama, Gray of Delaware, Lindsay of Kentucky, Mur- phy of New York, Money of Missis- sippi, McLaurin of South Carolina, and Martin Of Virginia are almost certain to vote for it.
 This would give the necessary Jwo- thirds vote for ratification. There are probably others who will vote in favor of the treaty.
 The indications are that the treaty will be ratified. The main difficulty will be the annexation of the Philip pines, but the vote on Hawaiian annex ation has broken the ice. It is more than probable that there will be be- tween sixty-five and seventy votes cast in favor Of the treaty.

The foods we eat furnish

The foods we eat furnish energy for the body. just as burning coal makes steam for an engine.
