A MERRY CHRISTMAS.

Christmas comes but once o year
but it gets here just the same, and we
always look forward with pleasant
auticipations to it's arrival In child
hood days it's approach seems very
slow and these occasions seem very
far apart. In our early yeas we are
taught to look upon Christmas as the
time Of Joy and gladness, the time
when we will receive presents and
many other good things to make our
hearts glad, more than at any other
time during tho year and children
materially begin to look forward to
Christmas with pleasant anticipations
Of an all round good time, long before
it arrives, thus the years roll along
slowly in our childhood. Not 80 with
the grown people. The years seem to
fly around and the figures add up very
rapidly. Still we, with the children,
look forward to the happy Christmas.
Possibly because We derive most OF
our pleasure from the bright faces
and joyful shouts OF the frolicsome
children, and realize that we have in
n measure contributed to their happi.
ness. There is great deal of
happiness to be derived from making
others happy. So let us all bestir our
selves to make the children happy.
and thus gain pleasure for ourselves.
If you have no little ones to make
happy, or if you desire to add to the
happiness of some other lite ones
less fortunate than yours, who have
no loving Santa Claus to visit them
and fill their stockings, just read this
little poem and govern yourselves
accordiDgly:
eve won't have no Christmas
To come an make us glad,
| Ner father-like VIC had.
It don't come to no place like this !;
We's orphants-that's thes what we
| is.
| bub OOiluhiC-ho . GOO llbtJc
To know our parents is dead;
An thes waits for Sanity Claus
An hears him on the shed;
An he's hung them socks er his
Thes like folks knowcd wher orphants
is.
But sis and wee cider,
An VIC thes keep awake
An ask God, please SEN Sanity Claus
Only for Johnnie's sake,
Cos he's done hung them stocks er
his
Thes like God knowed wher orphants
is"
Will you not lend your aid to make
some little friendless orphan cnjoy
this Christmas?
To one and all we wish you merry
Christmas full Of JOY and gladncss.

The appointment Of Maj. Gen.
Leonard Wood to be military COVER
nor OF Cuba, is considered by the
President to be long step towards
the restoration Of civil government
on the island. Gen. Wood would
have been appointed civil governor,
had it not heen strongly pointed out
to Mr.. Mckinley, by..Gen. Wood him
self, as we'll as many others, that the
appointment Of Civil Governor would
havo bad effect ut this time, among
the Cubans, as it would give The pro-
fassional agitators foundation to
build stories upon the intention Of The
u. S. to keep Cuba. Although Gen.
Wood will be military governor, his
administration OF the whole of Cuba,
will be largely performed through
civilians, just as it has been in Sapti-
ago province.
