ROMANCE FROM EVERY DAY LIFE.

"Goot morgen,'' she said, with wheezy cherfulness, as she entered the door Of the elevated train. Tt vos pocty coldt vedder, ain't idt?" The men lowered their newspapers and locked startled. Most of the wo- men frowned forbiddingly, Du5 little girl pushed so stoutly against the scat tered line of people on the side where she sat th2lt it had to move along and make a place for the newcomer.
 Plump! went the buXom figure into the narrow space, and the smiling, friendly face then shone rosily from under it's neatly banded white hair up- on the child beside her.
 You vas nice leatle gal,' she said. q t'ink Kris r>ringle will bring you som edings fine, aint idt?'
 The little girl looked confused and shook her head, turning in the toes Of her shoes nervously.
 "Nein? Vat? You nefer heardt-you ton't know him, already? Wy, he vas Sandy Claus!"
 She smiled significantly. But the per plexed look grew deeper on the wan, hildish features.
 IT don't know anybody much, here," she s:ammered, '' ''cept Jesus. You don't mean him, do you?"
 "Oh, yah! Oh, my! Oh, my!" A warm splash of tears covered the ruddy cheeks of the old German mother. She drew the little stranger into her arms, and then, right there where the busy, work -burdened people filed in and out of the train, she told her the myth so dear to childhood wherever the light from the star which rose over Bethle- hem is shining. Sometimes her Eng fish failed and she relapsed in the ten der German language. But the child wide-eyed and eager, seemed to under stand and follow her, and the passen- gers looked on with lips curved in un- familiar smiles.
 Hasn't your mother never told you about Santa Claus?" asked a woman bending toward the little one in aston ishment.
 No, maam But she has told me about Jesus-often and often," she re- piled. But l 'spect she didn't tell me about that other cause she didn't want him to come when she couldn't invite him 70 supper"
 That was it. Poverty. The eyes of the men and women watching the dialogue grew dim. Fifth avenue was reached and the child with shy nod to all ran cut. But before she wen, the old Ger man woman asked and received her street and number.
 Meier heardt O Kris Kringle-a lee tie chil' vat don't hang a stockin' up py de chimly ven Christmas comes. Oh, my! Oh, my! Oh, my! But you vait vonce. She'll see Santa Claus dis year, alreadty! !"--Chicago Journal.

bers of that journal: From that time (about 1s53) Tommy Atkins became fa- miliar with a slaughter in form new to him-the slaughter of women and the slaughter Of wounded men. It sounds terrible. All warfare is ter rible; Soudan warfare is a horror be-
 yond words. No quarter was uni versal OH both sides. * Was there

 declaration: There are dozens of men
 like the writer of this article who knew that these things happened-be-

 The Saturday Review probably has a good many military readers, but 1 have locked in vain for any denial or amend ment of this grave allegation. Instead, we had the letters of the Standard and the Manchester Guardian correspon- dents reporting the deliberate killing of wounded in the present campaign, and the picture of MT. w. T. Maud, the Graphic's special artist in that jour- nal for October 1 (p2ge 439), entitled '"The Dark Side of Campaigning in the Soudan; Dispatching Wounded Der wishes" MT. Cross was most cutspo- ken. Ee declared that wholesale slaughter was carried out by the black troops at Omdurman, that while a re- volver was in a few cases necessary for self defense, promiscuous shooting was indofensible from the military or any other point of view; that these black troops plundered khe corpses, and that so far from securing a safe passage for the advance of the army across the bat tlofeld, they shot so recklessiy that at least four British soldiers were wound ed by shots intended for fallen der wishes.

Maud's picture can hard ly be described as an insulting ques- tion'' or a reckless charge" But there it representing in the background a file of Egyptian soldiers headed by a mounted English officer with lifted re- while, in the foreground, th1ae other Egyptian soldiers are making an end of four prostrate dervishes.--The News Editor.

NOTE AND COMMENT.

The greatest man is he who chooses the right wi,h invincible resolution Ch2nning
 The superintendent of New York s public schools reports that, taking one year with another, the city loses about 200 teachers (women) by marriage and resignation annually.
 When Henry Clay was beaten in 1S44, young Harton Spencer of Kentucky swore that he would never vote again. He has kept his oath. He is now S8, and still nOn-voier.
 A rumor comes from Rome that the Spanish archbishop Of Manila is going to lose his job, and that his successor will be an Italian of "broad mind. lib- eral ideas, and some diplomatic expe- rience."
 A personal in one of the New York papers gives this interesting announce ment: Bachelor (3O) will give himself to wealthy lady as Xmas present" " Whose chimney will St. Nicholas cart him down?
 ". E. Curtis writes to the Chicago Record from Washington: MT. All drew Carnegie in his communications to the newspapers is becoming almost as hysterical as in his personal con- versation. He cannot talk about an- nexation or expansion without becom- ing very much excited. His face be- comes pale, his slight frame trembie and his eyes glow like coals Of fire. It seems to have become a mania with him. He acts as if it was matter of personal responsibility to prevent the ratification of the peace treaty.

USE FOR THE WHIPPING POST.

The whipping post may be consider ed a barbarous method of punishment, designed to meat the needs of a ruder sage Of civilization than the present is supposed to be. But forms of pun ishment held to be barbarous may sometimes be necessary for especially barbarOus offenses. The suggestion of MT. John C.. Shortall, president of the Illinois Humane society, that the whip pIng post be revived for such offenders as wife beaters is a good one.
 As MT. Shor;all says, imprisonment or fine is not a proper punishment for the wife beater, because the hardship of such punishment is likely to fall with more severity upon the wife than upon the husband. Frequently the wife herself will ask for remission of such particularly if it be a fine instead or imprisonment. Wife beat ing is especially barbarous and inhu- man, and the man guilty of the offense might well be subjected to some espec- ially degrading and effective method of such as the whipping post Record.

A LESSON FOR AMERICANS.

There couldn't be a more wholesome medicine offered our rustling, bus,ling, worried and anxious American business men than the little papers in the North American Review, Studies in Cheer fitness" by that gifted French scholar, Max O'RelI.
 Nj. Blouet, as he is otherwise known, declares his countymen have solved the problem of life. They never allow business to interfere with their happi- ness. Money making with them is only means to an end. To this the American presents what M. Blouet considers a sad contrast.
 He. says that he met little child in Chicago to whom he told stories. Her father was worth $20000, 900, and the child explained pathe;ically that he never told her any stories of a Sunday because he was tco tired. "A few weeks after I left Chicag ago," he says, that man was taken III wien a disease, net an uncommon disease in America, that starts from the top of your head and .akes from two to three years to kill you in lunatic asylum, and no twenty millions have ever been known to cure it'' The picture may be eXag- gerated, but it's essen dal truth is plain.
 Apparently it took this experience with one Of his own countrymen to re- store M Blouets equanimity He wished to buy a hat at St. Malo. He had to wait two hours while the natter ate dinner with his family, and coming back at the end of the time the custom CT was requested 0 wait five minutes

THE RFcutAR ARMY.

When the war began last spring the
 regular army consisted of 25,00O enlist
 ed men, but congress raised the maxi
 mum to @ 900, at which figure it now stands. Secretary Alger has made, and
 President Mckinley has endorsed, a
 proposition to recruit the army to 100,- eco enlisted men.
 When war became a fact there was a hurrying hither and thither in order to mobilize the regular troops where they could be used to the, best advantage. The men were scattered throughout the country, and one detachment was in far-away Alaska. In a short time, how ever, the regulars were in camps close to the coast line, and soon afterwards some of them played a most important part at Santiago. In the meantime the president had called for 100000 vol unteers. some of whom were sen. to Cuba, while others went to Manila and later some of them were sent to Homo lulu A major portion of the volun- teers have been must cred out, or are now on furlough preparatory to dis charge.
 The acquisition Of Hawaii and Por.o Rico and the future control of the Phil ippines, in addition to the demand for troops in Cuba, while adjusting affairs there, make it imperative that the reg uIar army should be increased 10 an en- listed strength of at least one hundred thousand men. Enlistment of native troops in the new territories would in a measure solve the problem. The en- listed strength of the army is now 62, GOO men, leaving 38,000 to be made up in the event of favorable congressional action. Cuba, Porto Rico, the Hawaii an islands and the Philippines can fur nish the new men necessary from among the better class of natives. Great Britain employs native troops in it's colonies. oficered of course by Eng lishmen. A similar arrangement would have to be made by the United States in order to relieve so far as possible the necessity for sending our own men to the tropical islands.
 The crisis has been forced upon the country, and congress will make mis- take if it continues to show its indif- ference in the matter of providing suitable standing army. Had a series of Indian outbreaks" occurred during the brief war with Spain the country would have had a serious issue to mee.. Twenty-Five thousand men to do garri- son and guard duty in a territory in cluding 3,G02, ,990 square miles are mere bagatelle when trouble comes and trouble is liable to appear at any time Now that the United States is to take in additional territory of 10,393,- 729 square miles, not including the temporary direction of Cuban affairs, the suggestion of the president cannot be ignored with safety.
Arizona republican., 1898-12-14

We direct attention to an interview with Mr. w. A. Watts, published in another column, in which he attacks the law which permits the county ito secure the major portion of the license money paid by city liquor dealers. The license fee is $500 a year and of this amount the city receives but s100. MT. Watts contends that the city should secure all of this money, and his view is supported by the mayor and other citizens. In the days when Arizona had no large cities this law was fair enough, but now that Phoenix and Prescott and other cities are forging ahead and need a good deal of money each year to make necessary a munici- pal improvements the law unQUestion- ably works a gTeai injustice. A bill will be introduced at the coming ses- sion of the legislature barring the counties from participation n the pro ceeds of city liquor licenses, and a strong effort will be made to secure it's passage. It is plain that if Phoenix were to receive all of this money each year the movement to pave the streets and give the city good water and sew craze facilities would receive a mighty impulse.

while the halter finished a game c

while the halter finished a game of dominoes.
 The St. Nalo natter, M. Blouet thinks, has solved the problem of life far better than the American who puts on his door a ncte reading, Gone to dinner; shall be back in five minutes" 7" The consequence of the five-minute dinner hour" M. Blouet declares, is that the scenery of America, from New York TO San Francisco, is ruined with advertisements of liver pills.
 It is easy to criticise and hard to propose a workable plan of reform. The American has been preached to and preached to on this subject, and it does no perceptible good. However, it will do to reflect upon it again under the pleasant tutelage of Max O'Rell.-New York Mail and Express.
