grew worse as the party proceeded,
but the horses floundered along until
they were within four miles of their
destination. Then in one big drift the
animals and sleigh stuck tight. The
father and the boys briskly piled their
feet around the runners, but to no pur-
pose.
Il should have brought some shov-

Finally, he and the two eldest boys
started to walk to the nearest farm
house, half-mile away.
Time dragged heavily with those
left in the drift.
I'm hungry" piped the Wee One.
Eat your potato" said the Quiet
One.
Lets all eat 'em!" cried the Merry
One. THAT will be fun!"
And it was! Never were cold pota-
toes given such a relish before. Even
the mother ate, and grew jolly, and
told stories.
Team coming!" announced the
Quiet One, first to spy it, though ev-
erybody thought he had not taken his
eyes off that far-away spot down the
road where three specks of figures
had vanished.
Then stories and potatoes were for
gotten in the excitement of watching
the approaching ox-team; and then 1t
was suddenly discovered to contain,
besides the three who had gone in
search of help, the uncle and cousins
whom they were to visit.
Grandpa would have it," one of
the cousins explained, that you might
get stuck in the drifts; and It was all
owing to him that we started out for
you. 1t is lucky we did; for we

ing in the oven now. oh. the turkey

ROAST POTATOES.

It was showing hard when the chill

said.

he had asserted, setting his lips firmly
and shaking his head.
But now it was morning. The sun
shone brilliantly; and, although there
was snow, snow, piled everywhere,
and the mother said that she didn't
see how they were ever going to get
through all those drifts. the father
was out in the barn, making ready
the big sleigh, and the children were
jubilant at the prospect of fine day.

from the woodshed, and bringing with

capital combination, and that's
enough. Mother if you can spare
me the oven, I'll wash an even dozen;
and they'll be baked by the time we

So it happened that, when the Ray

Practical One, handing over a big tu

And cleaned the waxen floor

Quick! get thee gone ere goads be drawn
To scourge thy tattered hde!"
The mirth roared to the rafter
With plenty groaned the board
Yet naught they gave that almsman gaunt
Save Haunting feer and ribald taunt,
Despite his bare and bitter want
From all their Yule-tde hoard!

Unto hovel came;
The walls grim were drear and dim
With one pale candle flame
Yet spake the kindly hoveler
Who saw the beggar's face:
You're welcome here though lean our

Enter, and bide a space!"

He ate their meagre fare;
And 10! they found, when he had sped,

The Gospel of Saving.

Ia the Christmas number OF The
Saturday Evening Post Russell Sage
presents some of the best advice
that has ever been given to young
men regarding the handling of their
money. In the course of the article
he says:
mo matter how fast a man may
make money, he owes it to society
as we'll rs to himself to be economi-
cal.
Any young man who will live up
to the following set of rules will get
more genuine happiness out of life
than his Leighbor who violates
m.
Out of every dollar earned save
nty-fve cents. Save seventy
cents if you can, but never less
than twenty-five.
"Get up at regular hour every
morning, and work until the things
that are before you are finished.
Don't drop what you have in your
hand because it is five o'clock.
BE honest; always have the
courage to tell the truth.
Don t depend on others. Even if
you have rich father, strike out
for yourself.
Cultivate independence at the
very outset.
Learn the value of money. Real
IL. that it stands, when honestly
made, as the monument to your
value as d citizen.
''Be jealous of your civic rights.
Take wholesome interest in public
affairs, but do not let politics, or
anything else, interfere with the
rigid administration of your private
duties. The state is made up OF in
dividuals.
Be clean and decent. Don't do
anything you would be ashamed to
discuss with your mother.
Don't gamble.
"Be circumspect in you amuse-
ments.
In connection with amusements,
[ have never been able to understand
why the young men of today deem
the theatre an absolute essential in
seeking diversion. An evening with
q good book is, or ought to be, more
satisfying to the young man of
brains than an evening in hall
where a lot Of make believe char
actors are strutting up and down
the stage, like children at mas
querade. When the human race
reaches it's highest mental develop
ment there will probably be nc
theatres.

Evidently the Honorable Director.
of the Census failed to see the mean
ing of the letter sent him by the THE
TINES on Sunday, as his reply
simply reiterated the figures given
out by his department on Saturday.
Mr. n. M. Oscar took the enumera-
ton for the village. and in conversa-
ton with him today he stated that
the figures as given were for his
district. But Washburn is q town,
and not a city, and it will be very
disappointing to the people here if
the official figures remain as an
Lounced Mr. H. T. Engoe took the
enumeration for the population out
side Of the town, and said today
that while ne did not have the ex-
act figures at hand that be counted
and reported something over 1890
people. This amount should be
added to the 5,005, which is the
manner in which all previous cen
cuses have been taken, and that
would give the correct population,
which would be something over
$500. The enumerators will no
doubt take the matter up with the
department, and see that Wash
burn is given the proper showing.
The director possibly does not
understand that the town of Wash
burn is one of the largest unincor-
porated places in the United States,
and there has been a confusion as to
the districts, and in his bulletin he
has given the result of one district
instead of two
The population of Washburn in
1890 was 5000. Since it is now
over $500 it will readily be seen that
we have more than doubled in the
past ten years.

issued licenses to conduct saloons.
We challenge contradiction to the
statement that the Arcade" has
been, during the year, one OF the
quietest, best and most orderly
saloons that has ever been conduct
ed in this city. These men who run
saloons all have families and homes
in this city, they are taxpayers, and
their entire capital is invested in the
places which they run. All three
are old citizens, and their places of
business are up to the usual stan
dard of saloons, even if not above
the average; yet this board takes
away their livelihood and the means
they have of supporting themselves
and family, after farce of trial in
which the accused stood convicted
before the commencement of the ac-
ton, regardless of the evidence.
The TIMES has never been, and
never will be a newspaper to en-,
courage lawlessness, but we are OBJ
posed to Sunday School methods in
municipal government, and we sim
cerely believe that this movement is
the rankest exhibition of hypocricy
on the part of this board that the
people of Washburn have ever wit
messed. If the board wishes to
purify the city, and enforce the
laws, we would point out to them
that eyer since they went into Of
fee a house of i'll fame has been
running without any authority Of
law, whatever, and in open violation
of every instinct of decency, almost
within a stones throw of the old
town hall, and just on the border of
one of the principal driveways of
the county. And then again, the
second institution of this same
character was opened within the
limits of the jurisdiction Of this
Board in the town of Washburn last
week, and we are informed that
in response to a general invitation il
was the scene of the most disgrace
full of orgies, and that the "Grand
Opening was largely attended. II
we are to have laws that are to be
enforced against vice why are not
these things looked after as well as
eternally bounding the saloon keep
ers? Here is chance to reform in
way that is needful, and if Mussrs.
Bryan and Hovind had ever pos
sessed any sincerity they would not
have-by their acts, given encour-
agemenJ to lewd women to congre-
gate, and the second house of shame
would not have started IL Wash
burn. There is plenty further field
for reform right close to the official
seat of town government in the
same building, maybe! But they
are absolutely mum concerning
these things. If we are to have re-
form let these harlots be driven out,
and then if the saloons are ''regulat-
ed" instead of prosecuted the peo-
pie will say: Well done!

Today's papers announce the

This is below the state census of
