MARCH OF THE CHRISTMAS CHILL
DREN.

It's the march of the Christmas chill
dren-
Keep time to the laughter and song!
They're bound for the Christmas win
Oh but the open-eyed throng!
Marveling. wishing and dreaming,
Thrilled to the soul are they,
Till the march of the Christmas children
Is the finest sight of the day!
It's the march of the CHRISTMAS chill
dren-
Isn't the quickstep sweet?
Straight on to the Christmas windows
What a patter of little feet!
And the town grows bright with the
smiling
OF watching women and men,
And the march of the Christmas children
Makes all of us young again.

Reach high above the river shore.

From his box high up in air
He looks around most everywhere.
Scans the sky for measley weather.
Then he gets it all together,
And with ghoulish glee he spreads it
On his fellow man who breads it.
Makes him freeze almost to death,
Then scorches him all in a breath,
Till he yells, 'Oh, Uncle Sam,
Please call back your weather man,
Box him up, the Son-of-a-Gun.
And ship i'm back to Washington"

THE WEATHER MAN.

For the Register
Keep your eye on the weather man,
For he'll smite you if he can.
With his scare-head postal card
Watch him hit us good and hard.
If the sun shines in the morning.
Out he comes with direful warning
Rain and snow. then turning cold"
Says the weather man so bold.
He brings old Zero from the pole,
To break us with the price or coal.
He rains at morning, clears at noon,
The night brings on dread typhoon.
With frosts he kills the apple crop;
oh, his meanness; can't he stop,
Bl.zzards come at his command
And swipe US all Ito beat the band
While foods swoop down with might!

EASE AND DISEASE
A Short Lesson on the Meaning
of Familiar W OrId.

Disease is the opposite of ease.
Webster defines disease as "Iack
of ease, uneasinest, trouble, vexa
ton, diSquiet." 1t is a condition
due to some arrangement of the
physical organism. a vast major
ity of the dds ease" from which
people suffer is due to impure
blood. Disease of this kind l.
cured by Hood'sSarsapariIla which
purifeS, enricheS and vitalizes the
blood. Hoods Sarsaparllla cures
scrofula, salt rheum, plmpleS and
all eruptiOns. 1t tones the stOm-
ach and creates a good appetite,
and it gives vigor and vitality to
the whole body. 1t reverseS the
condition of things, giving health,
comfort and cease" in place of
"diSeaSe."

OF Dewitt County.

TIE question Of n successor to
the late Coils p. Huntington as
president of the Southern Pacific
company is one of considerable
Importance TO South Texas. The
fact that no selection was made at
the recent meeting of the directors
is perhaps better for Texas inter-
ests than it would have been had
one been chosen who might n% be
favorable towards the deyelOpmeN
of the company'S interests in this
state. 1t is no secret that the late
president contemplated consider
able expansion of the Southern
Pacific's possessions i'll Texas, in
connection with the development
OF Galveston, which be expected TO
make the chief port on the Gulf.
The purchase of the Texas Mexican
railroad, from Corpus Christi to
Laredo was part OF his plans, 80
the writer is reliably informed,
making the New York, Texas &
Mexican road through Victoria, in
combination with the Arkansas Pass
and Texas Mexican through Corpus
Christi to Laredo a direct through.
route from Galveston into Mexico.
The lower Rio Grande was also in
elnded in the great railroad build
er'S plans, though probably not by
extending the Arkansas Pass from
Alice. 1t is stated, in fact, by
those claiming to be posted on the
matter that it was Mr.. Hunting
TONS idea to build from Laredo
down the river to Brownsville thus
traverSing in its entire length this
rich and fertile valley, which he
believed to be susceptible Of a de-
velopment surprising the famous
districts of Southern California
This, IN brief. is an outline of the
plans said to be entertained by Mr..
Huntington. 1t remains to be seen
they will be carried out.
It is understood that if his nephew,
L. L. Huntington should become
president Of the company, the de-

TO the japanese. and fifteen to the Chi
nese. The bargain was for 81 a bag, al
though the regular selling price of rice
at present Is s.. p per bag. When the
rice was delivered the native endeavor-
ed to get the money. but both the buy
ers said they could not pay until today.
The entire fifty-five bags Of rice were
recovered by the police.
High Sheriff Brown, who had person
al charge OF the case. then had the
drivers summoned to his Office. together
with the Japanese and Chinese who
bought the rice, the warehouse superin-
tendent, and the Chinese driver for
Sing 10y. The result of their testimony
was sufficient TO fasten the guilt upon
Solomon Kuaeli. who was apprehended
as soon as the evidence was all in.
When taken before the High Sheriff the
young fellow said he had taken the rice
under instructions from a second party
whose name he refused to divulge. He
said at first he had been on Sylvester's
dray at the time the Chinese driver
was Intercepted and despatched 10 the
Irmgard wharf. Sylvester, however.
states he did not see the accused all

against the native. however was his
