No AMERICAN believes in withdrawing from the Philippines in the lace of arm. ed resistance. Having begun the war we must prosecute it to victory. But this does not imply that we shall forget who got us into this war, and who is responsible for the incompetence with which the war on the Filipinos has been Conducted. Imperialism, militarism, col. onialism, with their ramifying branches of corruption and monopoly, are the sins of the present administration, which the American people are called upon to condemn.

THAT the American people care more about politics than any other class of news is evidenced by increased circula-. tion of partisan papers during campaign years.

The latter company has been in operation for about twenty years, and employs about 1,500 men daily in the operation of its mammoth mine and smelters. and as a result has produced copper to over 34,000, ,000 pounds during the year 1898, and the met proceeds of such production are reported to have been over $2,000,00o. and 1t has been said by experienced miners who have been under it's em- ploy for years, that the Queen mine now has sufficient ore in sight to keep it in, constant operation for the next twenty years without further de- velopment.

SOME DOM rs
FOR CHRIS MAS.

Don't fail to make happy the Christ
mas of some needy persons of your
acquaintance.
Don't spend more than you can afford
on presents. This is good advice, and
of course you will not take it.
Don't find fault if your presents are
duplicated, and don't tell your friend
you exchanged one duplicate at the
store for something else.
Don't hang up your bicycle stockings
or your watch.
Don't tell children under 10 years of
age that Santa Claus is myth. This
dear old fellow is one of the most beau
tiful delusions of childhood.
Don't urge other people to tell what
they received for Christmas if they
appear reticent. Perhaps they didn't
get anything.
Don't tell some one who has sent you
n gift for Christmas that you will re-
ciprocate on New Years. Just do so,
if you wish, without announcing it.
Don't despisc homemade gifts. Are
they not the work of loving hearts and
willing hands? q. S.-If your wife
gives you a homemade necktie, this
doesn't GoD
Don't give pictorial primers To girls
who have celebrated their twelfth
birthday. Give them powder puffs in

when she's not around.
Don't hint 10 q person that you are
going to give him or her n present in
order to prompt that person to obtain
one for yourself.
Don't try to enter locked apartment
with a burglars Jimmy in order to de-
post a present i'll your Sweetheart's
silken hose. Her father may keep
bulldog.
Don't lie awake all night hoping to
see various people steal into your room
and leave packages on your dressing
table. a watched pot never bOils.
Don't wonder if the friend you re-
membered last year and who gave you
nothing will do the proper thing this
year.

whelm you with thanks if you give his
youngster a billygoat.

midwinter vacation.
"Jack, you and Jim behave your
selves" called their mother from the
kitchen. And you, 10, quit making
such n noise. And you, Cathie anu
Matilda, get to your knitting"
There was sharp note in Mrs.
Croftroad's tones; but, on the whole,
her "scolding' was not very severe.
Still, to Marion's ears, unaccustOmed
TO harsh words and equally a stranger
TO the noisy, rough ways of her cOus-
ins, the scene down stairs in the ''liv-
Ing rooms of the house was anything
but pleasant
mo; / won't go down stairs"
thought Marion as the vociferous
shouts broke out afresh. ''They would
only tease me-"
The thought of Christmas coming to-
morrow did not make Marion happy.
Last Christmas she had had her own
sweet mother. What n change this

her mother in the spring had left her

what shall be done with Marion?"
was the question that the relatives had
discussed all summer. Aunt Patience
did not want the little girl at first. LAS
If i hadn't enough of my own! she
said in her noisily aggressive way. IF
she was big and strong, l wouldn't
care so much, for then she could help
with the hard work and earn her board
and clothes. but she's such a spindling,
delicate little thing and all spoiled with
petting."
Although Marion was little, she was
past Is, and she realized, with many
keen pang OF grief and humiliation.
what IL was To be unloved and poor
and homeless when il was finally de-
cided that she must either be sent TO
an orphan asylum or go to Uncle
James in the country. Aunt Patience
yielded. "Oh, we'll" she said, Il guess
one more in the family won't matter
much
Early in the autumn Marion had been
very i'll with fever. One of the results
OF this sickness was a peculiar tend
ency TO fall asleep at odd hours of the
day. The doctor said that as soon as
the disease she would be we'll again
and that her relatives need not be
alarmed. Marion always felt better
after these daylight slumbers, which
brought the roses back to her cheeks
aud made her feel strong. But the
habit afforded her cousins n great OPP
portunity for teasing. Often she would
awaken on the dining room sofa TO
lind them all laughing at her and max
ing remarks not at all complimentary
or kind. In their still more mischie-
yous moods the boys, and even Cathie
and Matilda, would sometimes tickle
her face while she slept, saying, Red
head. sleepy head. go 10 bed"
Naturally Marion grew TO dread the
presence OF her cousins when she felt
herself becoming sleepy. Strictly speak
ing, her hair was not red. but n beauti-
full shade of auburn. Aunt Patience
presently called up the stairs, Amt
you got the beds made yet, Marion?''
Yes. ma'am," answered Marion Her
voice trembled, for she was crying.
