C5e Christmas Drum.

Children are very keen these days.
An eisht-year-cld boy who was
arousing the house with his drurn last
Christmas day stopped in front Of his
mother and fixed her with his gilt
tering eye"
Mamma, did Santa Claus bring me
this drum?"
Why, yes; you heard your father
say So"
Where did Santa Claus get it,"
81 don't know, I'm sure"
We'll, Jones shop has got lot Of
drums just like this"
"lndeed?"
Did Santa Claus buy 1t there?"
Perhaps"
But isn't Santa Claus a kind Of a
fairy"
II suppose he must be?"
We'll, how can fairies go into
Jones shop and trade there?"
"Oh, don't ask so many questions!
"But he'd have to pay with fairy
money. Would Mr.. Jones take fairy
money!"
'He might"
How could he?"

let me hear another word out of you"
But. mamma, | want to know. And
how could Santa Claus, who is SO fat.
get down our little bit of a chimney"
He's a fairy"
But how can fairies be fat?"
His mother turned purple and rous-
cd her husband from his newspaper.

boy down town tomorrow and appren-
tico him to lawyer"

And sure enough, there were four
poorly clad, cold-looking little urchins,
three little boys and girl somewhat
larger, gazing as earnestly at the gay
things within as if they were priceless
Jewels. We crossed the street and
came near to them from behind.
'Oh, look at that fire engine" the
biggest boy was saying, and the 9TH
ers were pointing out so many things
that they were all talking at once
What are you going to get for

again without speaking. The question
was repeated.
"I-don't-know, came the answer
slowly and softly.
well, what would you like to get
for Christmas"
The little one smiled and looked
hard into the window again without
answering.
Sinally he whispered softly. "a

And what would you like. my lit

next largest boy. This boy had beau
tiful big brown eyes and d clean face,
though evidently pinched by hunger.
"A hook and ladder" was the an
swer.
And the third wanted fire engine
and the little girl would like to get a
doll. So the Spots took the covey in

were surging to and fro. and the
elevator took the whole party to the
floor where toys were dispensed to
purchasers. Then the march up the
long aisles between tables covered
with bright and tempting things was
begun, until the "horse" department
was reached. The littliest one was
hanging on to the Two-Spot's thumb
with a grip that made sure he was
mt going to lose the chance, unless the
thumb gave way.
"Oh, gimme that" exclaimed the
biggest boy, pointing to fire engine
with real hose. But it cost as many
dollars as the Spots had with them,
and it was out OF the question.
Wouldn't this do?" asked the
Three-Spot, with considerable tender
ness In his tones that was unusual,
as he took up toy horse and sulky.
Yes, sor,'' said the boy, and one
purchase was made.
The next boy was satisfied with a
harvesting machine and the biggest
wanted drum, not being able to get
the fire engine. Then he set eyes on

thought would be fine. But his broth

The American Boxers in New Orleans
Louisiana have during the past few
days shown TO the world as only a Ger.
tain Class of Americans can, how brutal
aud blOOdthirFty and revengeful the
American white man can be when he
starts out to do things. The Boxer
atrocities in China which excite oul
horror were no worse, and no more
brutal or fiendish in character, than
the bloody work Of the American Boxers
in New Orleans during the past week.

This isn't worth considering. The fact
that they were permitted 10 kill and

that the "resp sponsible" white people in

states. Ii Mr.. Bryan and Northern
democrats do not favor jun crow"

The Negro who spouts about being a
consistent democrat in the face of its

the Negroes of the South are not only
moral degenerstes but politicle i'm beetles
