warm jacket. The December air was
a clear, bracing cold, the snow was
packed and crusted on either side of
the roadway, and Doll, the good gray
horse, trotted just fast enough to
keep the sleigh-bells jingling with a
monotonous and restful sweetness.
Her world of duties and perplexities
was leagues behind. This new world
with its wide reaches of pure white,
untrodden fields, it's circling noun
tains clear-cut against the b1ue-gray
sky, its lines of forest with their in
describable shades of coloring-this
world was a delightful surprise. Slow
ly she disentangled her thoughts from
this fascinating outlook and brought
them back to her uncle's words.
81 ought not to let you think I've
been studying too hard" she said.
''1've been naughty girl, and my
heart aches. I'm all out of sorts
with myself-that's the trouble"
"Sho. You don't mean to sayl I
never thought you was naughty. You
come of a steadygoing race" and he
gave her a quick glance over his fur
collar as if to read her face.
"Oh, 1 haven't been cutting up.'
Uncle Simeon, but I've-had trouble
with my very, very dearest girl
friend. and-we don't speak to each
other" The last words were almost
q sob.
Simeon Goldthwaite had been a
class-leader for many years, and had
learned to read the inner life of old
and young in his small circle. It is q
great gift-that of genuine. unselfish
sympathy with other people, but this
Supplemented man had received II.
and used it with reverence.
well, now, Elizabeth, 1 dare saw
twas q small affair to start with"
''Oh, yes-yes, it was! Alice and
were rivals in class work, but we loved
each other dearly until-she threw a
suspicion upon me. Uncle Simeon; a
suspicion that was unfair and untrue.
I could have forgiven her, but right
away she grew cold and distant. and
she hasn't spoken to me for three
months" Elizabeth paused to control

To the New Year.

Come, little boy, so fresh and new!
Till you are scar and yellow,
I'll be your chum and go with you.
And there's my hand. young fellow.
For just one year let us be friends
In every kind of weather.
And like two well-assorted ends
May we meet well together.
IT'S yours. my lad. to make me laugh,
Or cry-be sad or fearful
May you preponderate with chaf1,
And keep me always cheerful.
Infiict on me no useless pain,
Nor let me be long blue. sir.
And when We part, may remain
To say good-by to you. sir.

suspicioned me- says he. Shed ought
to know I'd take good care of the mon
ey.' Then I told him that when a wom-
an worked hard all summer to earn
money she'd a right to know where it
went to. But couldn't move him. And
now Christmas weeks going fast, and if
Year it'll go on IL months longer"
"What makes you think so, Uncle
Simeon?'
"Wel1'' and he began to make crosses
upon the snow with his long whip, "be-
cause it's the fitting time to wipe out
old scores and begin over again; be-
cause the forgiving time comes just be-
fore the good-resolution time. Didn't
you ever think of it? When think of
that Baby over in Bethlehem and all
those angels singing about peace, I
wonder we don't learn the lesson faster.
Peace on earth doesn't mean just be-
twiXt nation and nation, but betwixt
families and friends first of all. We'd
ought to bring our grudges and our
enmities right to the manager and let
the Baby put His hand upon them.
You can't hold spite when you're look
ing into q cradle. That's the lesson
I get every Christmas. Old Isaiah
speaks about a Child leading us, and
so I says: Lead on, little Child!' And
everything in me that's like wolf or .
lion or a leopard or q poison reptile
seems to die. Then comes Christmas
week-time to write letters or 90 to
see the ones that don't like you; and
then comes New Years, and there you
are. all ready to make good resolu-
tons"
But if make them 1 break them"
sighed Elizabeth.
Its likely. it's very likely; blu.
that's the only way to climb, sure's you
live. You can't afford to throw away
a ladder when you break a rung. Put
in another and go ahead. But here we
be, and I'll warrant your Aunt Agatha's
got supper thatm make you laugh"
That night, after Elizabeth was snug
~ tucked between the blankets and
half buried in Aunt Agatha's best
feather bed. she heard tapping at
her door.

Decision Against Labor un,on

Springfield, ILL.,, Dec. 22.-The Illi-

stitutional the legislative act of 1893,
which was aimed to guarantee the
right of employees to belong to labor
unions. This act, the court declares,
deprives an employer of the right to
terminate a contract with an en-
ploye. The constitution accords him
this right, the same as it allows an
employe to terminate his contract
with his employer.

REPORT OF SECRETARY ROOT.
Wants Go,ooo Men to Speedily Restore
Order in the philipDincs.

The annual report of Secretary Root,
made public Monday, is interesting, ow.
Ing to the vast number of subjects con-
sidered. lie details the trend of events
in the Philippines, Cuba, Porto Rico,
China and Alaska, showing the great ac-
tivity of American soldiers in these new
spheres Of usefulness.
Especial Importance attaches to his rcc-
concentrations with regard to the Philip
pines. He wants 10000 soldiers for the
immediate future in the islands, in order
that the 400 posts may be sufficiently gar
risoned. In few months native soldiers
can be depended upon to police the ISL
diers are needed to stamp out the rebel
lious Tagalogs.
He also recommends the coinage of n
special dollar, of the same weight and
finencss MS the Mexican dollar, for use
in the Philippines. This is necessary be-
cause Of the fiuctuating price of Mexi-
can dollars. He also suggests that an
insular dollar be coined, and which the
United States will undertake to redeem
in gold at so cents. The Secretary of the
Treasury inclincs to the latter course.
With reference to Cuba, Secretary
Root finds much qualification in the inn.
proved conditions. He dwells upon the
eagerness Of the natives to gain an edu-
cation and the facilities that are being
provided; the abolition Of filthy prisons,
Of disease-breeding pens for the insane
and helpless invalids. all Of which have
been wiped out.
Highly complimentary reference is
made to the work of United States SOL
aiers and civilians in Porto Rico, China
and Alaska.
The annual report of Attorney General
Griggs is chiefly confined to statistics ON
departmental work. The trust issue is
not mentioned. He urges that Congress
increase the appropriation for a new
building for the department and asks
that the time limit on construction be
widened, owing to the rise in the price of
building material.

New York-No new features have been
presented by the business situation this
week. Authorities generally agree that
1901 is likely to be one Of the most ac-
tive years in the history Of the country.
In the stock market activity and strength
again have been the rule. Such reactions
as have occurred have been inconsequcn-
tial and the losses in prices quickly re-
covered. Except in the case of few
specialties, there have been no further
large advances, but the whole list has
continued to show strong tone under
the influence of steady investment de-
mand for the standard dividend-paying
stocks. Money rates still favor the bor-
rover rather than the lender.
Chicago-On the Board of Trade the
feature of the week was the progress and
finally the successful termination of the
November deal in corn. Such operations
always cause serious disturbance in the
branch of trade in which they are at
tempted and seldom result favorabli to
the managers. The price of November
corn the week before at the close was Al
cents, 81 cents Wednesday, ana Friday
afternoon had dropped to 351a cents.

navigation by the unhealthy &nd altogeth-
er artificial advance in the price of the
cereal for immediate delivery, without
any compensating advantage to anyone
but the young speculator who took the
enormous risk entailed by an attempt to
corner the market. Wheat was heavy
and its price suffered further decline,
although there were not wanting some in
dications of turn in the course of the
features of the situation that have been
the cause of the protracted weakness of
the market. The general drift Of advices
from Argentina leads to the conclusion
that all is not we'll with the crop of wheat
that is within few weeks of its matur-
ity in that country; while deliveries from
farmers at home have been reduced to a
point not greatly in excess Of domestic
consumption. Decreases in the visible
supply will soon be of weekly occurrence.
and if the Argentine exportable surplus
does not exceed the 40,O00,0oO bushels
claimed for it by conservative people in
the grain trade there, Europe will be
thrown back upon this country for larg-
pr proportion Of its supplies than it has
quite recently been willing to believe pos
sible. Provisions have been affected on
the one hand by the very small stocks OF
manufactured products and on the other
by the heavy receipts of hogs, but for the
present the latter have been the ruling
consideration, as evidenced by slight
decline in prices of pork, lard and ribs.

RETIRING SENATORS.
There Are Thirteen Whose Terms Ex-
pirc III March.

At the end of this session of Congress
considerable number of men who have
achieved more or less distinction in the
Senate will retire. Some Republicans
will be succeeded b.. Democrats, some
Democrats by Republicans, and soAe of
both parties by men of their own polit-
ical faith. The Senators who will leave
Washington, retiring to private life, are
Baker of Kansas, Butler of North Car
olina, Caffery of Louisiana, Carter of
Montana, Chiffon OF Texas, Kenney Of
Delaware, Lindsay of Kentucky, Petit
grew Of South Dakota, Shoup Of Idaho.
Sullivan of Mississippi, Thurston Of Ne
braska. Turley Of Tennessee and Wolcott
of Colorado. There are several others
who will be opposed for reelection at
the forthcoming legislative sessions who
may also be obliged to remove their sem
atorial togas, but whose reelection is
probable. These are Chandler Of New
Hampshire, Cullom of Illinois and Nelson
of Minnesota. Bacon of Georgia, Berry
Of Arkansas, Elkins of West Virginia,
Frye of Maine, Hoar of Massachusetts,
Dolliver of Iowa, Mcbride. of Oregon,
Mcmillan of Michigan, Martin of vir-
ginia, Morgan of Alabama, Sewell OF
New Jersey, Tillman of South Carolina,
Warren of Wyoming and Wetmore Of
Rhode Island either have been or are
sure to be reelected.
OF the retiring members Wolcott Of
Colorado and Thurston of Nebraska are
easily the most distinguished. They have
been counted among the most brilliant
and eloquent members of the upper house
and their retirement is loss to the Re-
publjcans. Butler of North Carolina is
the youngest member Of the Senate. He
was Populist leader and has made
name for himself at Washington us de-
batter. Donelson Caffery, the Louisiana
sugar planter, was one Of Grover Clcve-
lands most ardent supporters. Shoup Of
Idaho is notable figure from the fact
that, although he has served two terms,
he has done nothing that has made his
name familiar to any except the most
critical students Of congressional life.
He is Republican, was stock raiser
and mine owner, and helped establish
Idaho In statehood.
