Merry Christmas, mamma, anc
many of them! Thank you for your
| books; we read some already, anc
mean to read more after breakfast
cried 10, Amy and Meg as they came
trooping into the room where thel1
mamma was that Christmas morning
Merry Christmas, little daughters
I'm glad you began at once, and hope
you will keep on. But want to say a
word before we sit down. Not far away
from here lies a poor woman, with
little newborn babe. Six children are
huddled into one bed to keep from
freezing for they have no fire. There
is nothing to eat over there. The eld-
est boy came to tell me they were suf-
fering hunger and cold. My girls, will
you give them your breakfast as
Christmas PRESENT.
They were all unusually hungry,
having waited nearly an hour, and for
minute no one spoke; only minute,
for Jo exclaimed impetuously:
I'm so glad you came before we
began!" -
May so and help carry the things
to the poor little children?' asked
Beth. eagerly.
Il shalFtake the cream and the muf-
fms" said Amy, heroically giving up
the articles she liked.
Meg was already covering the buck
wheats and piling the bread into one
big plate.
Il thought you would do it," said
Mrs. March, smiling as IL satisfied.
You shall all go and help me, and
when we come back we will have
bread and milk for breakfast, and
make it up at dinner time"
They were soon ready and the pro-
cession set out. Fortunately it was
early, and they went through back
streets, so few people saw them, and
no one laughed at the queer party.
A poor, bare, miserable room it was,
with broken windows, no fire, ragged
bed-clothes, a sick mother, wailing
baby and group Of pale, hungry chill
dren cuddled under one old quilt, try
ing to keep warm.
How the big eyes stared and the blue
lips smiled as the girls went in.
"Ach, mein Gott! It is good angels
come to us!" said the poor woman,
crying for joy.

would leave the hospital. There were
no marks OF violence on her-there
was absolutely nothing to point to her
identity-only the sinister fact that
she had fallen in faint on her way

of what might be concealed The we'd

steadfastly refused to let her husband

shook their wise heads and turned her
over to the tender mercies Of the nurse,

RECORDED A LARGE MORTGAGE
Seaboard Will Record one For Many

The Seaboard Air Line Railway s
first mortgage to the Continental
Trust Company, OF Baltimore, to SCI
cure an issue of seventy five million
dollars of four percent gold bonds has
been fled in the office of the clerk of
court in Atlanta. This great mortgage
will likewise be recorded in every
county in Georgia and of other states
traversed by the Seaboard Judge
Allen, clerk of court of Sumter, said
yesterday that he had not as yet re-
ceiyed copy of the mortgage for re-
cord, but it will be forthcoming
shortly. The fee for recording this
mortgage may amount to several hun
dred dollars in each county. One
mortgag e recorded for the old Georgia
& Alabama Railway a few years ago
covered more than fifty pages and the
recording fee in Sumter county was
nearly $3.50 90 or $4,000 The length
of this latest mortgage is not known,
but it is probably voluminous one
and will net the court clerks a snug
sum each at Is cents q hundred words,
the legal rate allowed them. It is said
that the revenue stamps on the mort
gage cost cost something like twenty
thousand dollars.

BURGLAR BURGLEs AN OFFICER
Attempt Made to Enter Residence Of
Chief Police.

Now that the enterprising Americus
burglar gets This habits on and at
tempts to burgle the residence of the
chief of police, we may we'll view the
situation with alarm and prepare to
flee to the mountains of Hepsidam for
safety unless the old family shotgun
may be trusted in this dire emergency.
For be it known the burglar is much
abroad in the land hereabout.
Three nights ago, as told in the

dence of Col. Ed. Littleton, on Church
street, but was frightened away ere he
could make haul.
Yesterday morning Chief Wheeler
reported that two men tried to enter a
rear door of his residence the night
before. Mr.. Chesley Wheeler heard
them working at the lock and aroused
his father. The burglars heard them
talking, and slipping into the yard hid
behind an old clubhouse.
In the meanwhile Chief Wheeler and
his son, Chesley, had their hardware
trained upon the back yard, awaiting
the next move.
A flash of lightning revealed one of
the men and forty-four Colts rang
out, followed by q second and third
shot. At the third shot the fugitive fell
Thinking they had bagged one of
the thieves Chief Wheeler went out to
gather up the game. but it was not
there. The bullet probably missed
the mark, though it was sent after it
with the very best intentions. Both
burglars got away and their identity
is yet unknown.
In the meanwhile it would be well to
bar the doors these nights, as it is
quite evident that Mr.. Burglar is
with us.

A DIFFERENCE OF THOUSANDS
In Value of 500 Bales Cotton Now and

Just year ago the finest grades of
cotton were selling in this market at
from 81 ito 81 cents-a difference of
nearly four cents per pound in the
price then and now, An Americas
buyer was forcibly impressed with this
great disparity in prices when writing
check yesterday for 300 bales cotton
purchased, the amount being $14,
A stub of his bank book caught his
eye, and investigation disclosed the
fact that just one year ago he had Civ
en- check for $14 900 in payment for
500 bales cotton. Thus it will be seen
that 800 bales sold for more money
yesterday by $500 than 500 bales sold
for year ago.
