RAISE YOUR SUBSCRIPTION
PRICE.

To publish country weekly protia.
bly, at 81 year subscription rate can
be done only under the most favorable
conditions. These conditions are the
possibilities Of very large list and
prompt cash payments And even
under such circumstances the margin
is narrow.
A good country weekly is worth So
per year. And the publisher who
commands this figure secures a return
for his Investment and labor that en-.
courages him to give his readers the
best for their money. Country pub
fishers are ina large measure response
bic for the cut-rate." Senseles compe
ttion, a desire TO cut into rivals
business by appealing to the pockets
OF his constituents-these are some OF
the contributing causes.
The remedy, like the disease, lies
with the publishers. Let them COM
bine for mutual gain and protection.
Put the price up where it should be;
and then publish the best paper pos
sible in the territory. We opine that
that few subscribers will deny that
the editor is worthy of his hire.

In those rude huts they found ten
families too elnaciated to rise or assist
each other. Having attended to the
immediate wants Of all, and left in
each home a two weeks supply, the
men made ready to resume their
journey. The lieutenant learned
through his interpreter, the children
belonged TO the master OF one of the
large houses across the lake. Their
father had joined the Cuban army as
a colonel and left his wife to protect
the babies.
Hearing her husband was to pass a
certain point the devoted wife had
prepared hamper Of dainties and
gone to meet him, leaving the chill
dren with many kisses and promise
o. an early return, after conveying
them to this thatched cottage and to
the care OF an old family nurse. Meth
er father or mother had been heard of
since, and it was believed by the
neighbors that both had perished.
The nurse had died only IA few days
before having literally starved herself
to death to succor the babies left to
her devoted care.
A year has passed since Dick and his
lieutenant cried together in unre-
strained grief over the sad fate that
had so nearly 0vertaken the three Or
phans, and they are in their separate
homes to-day, happy in the anticIpa-
tions of merry Christmas with their
loved ones. But close observer will
notice sadness gather oyer the faces
OF each as memory carries them back
to the beautiful valley hidden by its
mountains where they found a village
Of starving humans. And Dick will
never forget the day he played Santa
Claus to the pretty Stary-eyed orphans
and the lesson be learned on CHARITY.

LOVE FOR OUR FRIENDS; ALL: NONE
CHRISTMAS.

Though d0ubters doubt and scoffers scoff,
And peace on earth seems still far of;
Though learned doctors think they know
The Gospel stories are not SO;
Though greedy man is greedy still
And competition chokes good will,
While rich men sigh and poor men fret.
Dear mel We can't spare Christmas yet!
lime may do better-.iaybe not;
Meanwhile let's keep the day we've got!
On Bethlehem's birth and Bethlehem's star
Whateer our speculations are,
Whater for us may be the line
Where human merges with Divine,
We're duh indeed if we can't sec
What Christmas feelings ought to be,
And drll again If we can doubt
It's worth cur while to bring them cut.
GLORY to God; good will to mem"
Come! Feel ii, show it, give it, then
Come to us, Christmas, good old day,
Soften us, cheerus say your say
To hearts which thrift, too eager keeps
In bonds, while fellow feeling sleeps,
Good Christmas, whom our children love-
We love you, too! Lift us above
Our cares, our fears, our small desires
Open our hands, and stir the fires
Of helpful fellowship within us.
And back to love and kindness win rs!

WANTS A TEXTILE SCHOOL. .-Presi.
dent John NJ. Stone strongly recon-
mends the establishment eff a textile
school at the A. & M. College, arguing
in this wise:
"The textile school Is a miniature
cotton factory for instruction in all
the details and manipulation and
manufactured cotton goods. In short,
the school desired is for the education
OF the young men and young women
Of the State who desire such training,
and to prepare them for taking charge
of and conducting such manufactur.
ing establishments In the State and
in the South, instead Of being com.
PEELED to get managers and operatives
for such factories from the Northern
States. The establishment of such a
school will involve considerable outlay
of money, but l believe it would be
bread cast upon the waters which in
due time will return a hundred fold"

OF WINTER

Seattle got little winter last
night The nrsi big freeze Of the

ness II came. and the Frost King
was busy from then until sun up.
when the early rising citizen woke
up this morning he left his warm
bed reluctantly lie knew what was
coming. and dreaded Il.
The carpet was icy 10 the touch Of
his bare feet. and nv the time he
was dressed. his teeth we're chatter
ing.
out Of doors everything was icy.
The porches were slippery. and front
door-steps were man.traps The
citizen Of solemn mlen and solid
build performed antics as he hasten
ed down the hills to catch the nrst
car
Those who left potted plants out
OF doors. had the unpleasant task Of
thawing them with cold water.
while the man who had neglected to
cover his rose bushes now repents
his folly.
The man who, In the happy
thoughtleasncss Of summer days.
pavned his overcoat to buy ice
cream and shoot the chutes. looked
ionEingly at his provldent brother
whose head nesled snugly In the
high collar ~ his frieze ulster.
Small boys slid gleefully on the icy
sidewalk, and laughed with unre-
strained JOY at the antics of the man
who walked I'm slippery places"
Those who came from the East
shifted the keen air and grew home
sick for the snowbanks they had left.
II was not a local cold-snap. At
wellington and Cascade Tunnel the
drifts lie four feet deep,
Winter IL upon us and the plumb
cr's face Is bright for the season Of
bursted water-pipes IL at hand.
