A State Police Force.

A bill has already been drawn in
New York for presentation to the legis-
lature looking to the establishment of a
state constabulary. Although the pri-
mary object of this bill is obviously po-
litical and is urged ON the ground that
it will prevent election frauds, there
can be no doubt that a state constabu-
larry. once free from political domino
tion, would be a much needed protec-
ton to life and property throughout
sparsely settled districts Outside of the
cities there is little or no police protec-
tion, and crime is constantly committed

A CHRISTMAS G1FT.


1t was Christmas eve and Gordon
and Ethel Williams were down at
the toy store looking at very large
doll. After awhile they saw a poor
little girl named Mary looking at the
same dol'. When Ethel saw Mary
she shrugged her shoulders and went
to another counter. Then Gordon
said "Shame on you" After awhile
Gordon suggested that they buy the
doll for Mary but it took a whole lot
of persuading to get her to say
"yes." So they decided to follow
Mary to her home which they found
was in dilapidated shanty and
Gordon said they would take her the
doll late in the night. So very late
that night they went to Mary's house
and took her the doll. About din
rar time there came a very loud
knock at Mary's house and she ran
to the door and saw Ethel and Cor
don and they handed her a note in
viting her to dinner and sent Mary's
mother, who they afterwards learned
was very sick, a large basket of
fruit.

a CHRIsTMAs aIFT.


A Christmas gift is q gift we get
on Christmas day. The first gift
was from God. He gave MS baby
king who was to be king over all the
world. The holy angels brought him
from above and laid him in q man
ger. Then one of the angels went
to the mountains and gave thanks
to the Lord. The shepherds started
and Trey lost their way. and the
Lord sent bright star to guide them
to where the Savior lay. They then
gave thanks unto the Lord. And the
news spread all over the country and
the High Priests came and blessed
him, and the people came and
brought him many rich presents of
silver and gold, and this little babe
became the Savior. Everything we
have in this world we owe to the
coming of Christ.
First he died on the cross and snf-
fered for US.
If ws did not nave the bible we
would not know about Christianity.
In places where the people know
nothing of the bible the women are
drudges. I think the women ought
to be Christians. The bible teaches
us more ancient history than any
other book in the world.

The End OF Spanish Rule.

In accepting the terms offered by the
United States Spain has bent herself
with all of the ancient dignity that she
could summon to the inevitable. There
never was much doubt at Washington
of the ultimate result, and our country
has now to adjust itself to the sudden
possession of vast eastern domains.
There is no reason to believe that, with
the single exception of Great Britain,
and possibly Japan, the nations of Eu-
rope and Asia look upon the entrance Of
thesUnited States into the eastern ques-
tion to stay with anything like satis-
faction. Already there are semiofficial
predictions made abroad of new COM
plications. But from her earliest his
tory as a nation the United States has
always had a surprise up her sleeve.
and it is quite within her precedents
that she will astonish Europe in the
management of the Philippines
There are some indications, on the
other hand, that Spain is not to be al
together loser by her recent war The
industrial interests of the Spanish prov
inces are coming to the conclusion that
the series of mistakes and mismanage-
ments beginning in the Cuban rebellion
and terminating in the war with the
United States could only be the result
of a governmental and social system
wholly behind the age of the world,
and that it is time for some kind of ma
tional reform. There have been several
important meetings Of capitalists, man
ufacturers and others in various parts
Of Spain who expressed themselves free
ly and radically in view Of the bank
rupt condition of the state, and now the
news comes that this spirit is spreading
and is being taken up by the people
themselves. The Spaniards are not as
melodramatic as the French, and they
have prodigious pride of character, SO
that even their late enemies can afford
to hope that they will effect peacsabIe
revolution that will insure not only
freedom and light. but honesty and
economy. In that direction lies the re-
mobilization of Spain, and when it is
effected it will not do to say that she
has not profited by her misfortune.

The Future of Cuba.

1t is now practically settled that the
new year will see Cuba purged CT Span
ish rule and under the new influences of
the American regime. So far as can be
judged by the information furnished on
the spot, the bulk of the industrial in
habitants are openly glad of the change.
A new hope and new vigor are said to
be apparent everywhere. Havana is al
ready overrun with advance agents,
prospectors and wide awake practical
men of every guild. New hotels, new
churches, clubs, banks and newspapers
are projected. In all this reforma tory
stir two things are especially noticeable.
and they are not industrial, but sanitary
and moral General Butler Of the evacu-
ating commission made this plain on
his return to Washington by saying that
the most energetic efforts were already
begun to make Havana clean and healthy
and to interdict bull batting and cock
fighting, two pastimes that are imme-
MORALLY Spanish. Against these amuse-
ments the agents of the United States
government have resoiutely. set their
faces But the American cynic will not
miss the opportunity of pointing out
that while this is going on in Cuba two
men are allowed to bait themselves in
New York city and 5000 persons are
willing to pay $5 head TO see the fight.

A CHRISTMAS STORY.

were playing in the snow. ''AlI

and made the snowman. They had
not more than got it made, until they
saw an old negro woman coming

"Get behind the fence quick before

said Joe land we can throw snow

til the old negro woman came by.
Just as she was opposite them they
began to throw snow balls at her as
fast as they could. Old Aunt Sue as
that was her name, thought it was
the snowman, for she could not see
anybody in sight. She said Mr..
Snowman l don't think you ought
to treat a poor old niger woman
like me that way when can't hard

The boys now felt ashamed of the
way they had treated old Aunt Sue,
so they quit throwing snow balls at
her. Little Jack asked if they did
not have money enough to get her a
Christmas present. So they counted
the money and found that they had
fifty cents. The next day was Christ
mas Eve and the boys decided TO
take their money and buy something
for Aunt Sue and her children. So
they got their money together and
went to town that very evening to
get something for her. "But we

Jack. 81 do for she washes for my
