IN THE HOUSE.

Washington, April 1.-The president S message was read in the house today in the presence of vast assembage and referred to the committee on foreign af- fairs without debate. There was absolutely no demonstration either of approval or disapproval from the crowded galleries throughout or at the conclusion of the read ing, but there was a sharp burst of ap- plause from the republican side when to- ward the close of the message the president said the war in Cuba must cease. At the conclusion of the reading about half the republicans applauded and several of the democrats groaned. After the message had been referred the house transacted some District of Columbia business and then act ed on the Fairchild-Ward contested election case from the Sixteenth New York district by confirming MT. Wards title to the seat. Both are republicans. Little or no interest was taken In the proceedings. All the af- ternoon members stood about in groups dis cussing the message and the probable &C., tfon of congress upon 1t.

FATHER CHRISTMAS.
A Suggestion to the Boys For Christ
mas Celebrations.


mas Celebrations.
Why couldn't our boys get up some
holiday plays similar to the immemo-
rial Father Christmas" play, in which
the lads Of Merrie England have so
much fun? The origin Of this play is
lost in antiquity, but it deals with
knights and their adventures, certain
Of which challenge and fight the fol
lowers Of Father Christmas, and are in
turn routed, till Father Christmas and
the Black knight cope in mortal COM
bat, the latter, of course, being worsted.
The boys are dressed in fantastic
style. with tall paper caps on and pa
per fringe around their jackets, wear.
ing masks to conceal their identity.
They arc called the ''mummers. and

Invariably resolving kind welcome

Torrance. They also take up a penny
collection, and everybody has q penny
for the mummers who afford SO much
amusement.
In our early history there is album

and the object of their performances in
holiday week might be some charity in
which boys are the beneficiaries such
as treat Of goodies" to dozen news
boys or bootblacks, to get supplies for

they want to stay up and Try ana solve
the mystery of how Kris Kringle with
his big pack crawls down the chimney.
But soon scamper off with regretful
look, when they are told that Santa
Claus only visits children who are fast
asleep.
Innocent little children, keep your
faith in Santa as long as you can for
when you fail to trust him half the joys
of Christmas are over.
The next morning we find that the
prophesy has come true and that the
bare world of the night before is trans
formed into a fairy land. tstill SHOWS
and we see the tiny snow-hakes flying
hither and thither as though thing so
pure hated tc light upon so wicked an
Earth. Every building has new roof
and is remodlsd into different shapes.
Tie trees and bushes bend to the
ground with the task that Heaven has
put upon them.
The little birds look around in a be-
w,ldered way as if trying to discover
what had changed the aspect OF things.
Poor little birds, you will surely have to
work for living now!
Although we love to watch the snow
we do not tarry long, for we see that
the clouds are breaking and the snow
will soon cease and we are eager to be
away; either to go coasting OF have a
fine game of SNOWFALL, and perhaps to
get our faces washed clean once more.
But before We so we must examine
our stockings to see what Santa has
left US.
Perhaps some may have trees so of
course they travel into the parlor. The
younger ones with mouths and eyes
wide open to see what they think might
be for them. Then when they have
looked until their eyes are sore and
their mouths tired OF asking questions
about Father Christmas, they turn
away with sigh, wishing it was eve
ming so that the gifts might be dis
trlbuted.
But in our good fortune we must not
forget the less fortunate and try and
remember to do as He whose birthday
we are celebrating would have us do.
To send a gift TO these people whom
ever they be, even it it be but the
smallest and poorest gift, if it be given
with kind word and cheerful spirit
we will be given as much credit by Him
as if it had been costly one.
Perhaps we may share with them onl
dinner. And that dinner of ours! Why
the table fairly groans with the gooG
things upon 1T.
We all eat rather IL light breakfast
the boys especially-so that we may b.
able to eat little more dinner thai

when a person tries to eat a little o
everything he feels rather uncomfort
able and perhaps, may have to call tn
Doctor. Well, Its an i'll wind tina

Doctor reaps the benefit here.

.sDecember is here and it will soon be
Christmas," is the cry OF every sehool
boy and girl.
On, that happy time, Christmas, when
every one is happy, or at least ought 10
be for we are celebrating the birthday
of Christ. AS we gather around the
evening tireside and look at gifts we
have received during the day, i won
der how many think of how this same
day eighteen hundred and ninety eight
years ago was spent in the little village
of Bethlehem. Very different, indeed,
from what it Is now. OF course there
were gifts, but those gifts were TO ex
press the JOY Of the birth of the SAVIOR
and instead of warm fre-side they
were gathered around lowly manger'
for there was no other place for the
birthplace of the Son of Man.
But let us talk little of the time be-
fore Christmas.
When grim, clustering Decembar and
his brother the North wind make their
appearance, we realize for a certainty
that Winter has arrived and Christmas
is not far behind.
But woe unto him who is unprepared
for their appearance. They are prevll-
edged persons and use the liberty given
them regardless of every ones feelings
And now is the time of mystery.
What whispering and plotting! Every
one is afraid that it will be know n what
thew will give and what serious thing
that would be.
Then those mysterious packages that
are brought home. The paper manu-
facturers must make the paper stronger
during this time, for if they didn't there
would surely be holes burned in the
paper by the burning eyes fastened
upon it.
The shop windows, too, are in festival
array, being decorated with things that
would be nice to give your friends if
you have plenty of money.
If only shop windows could talk they
would have great tales to tell of the
different faces that look through them
during the day.
Some people are making presents and
any one that receives homemade
present should think themselves doubly
favored; for person would not put any
time on a present for anyone whom
they didn't think great deal of.
But if it doesn't snow on Christmas
Christmas will not be complete to TIT
