Fond memories may grope,
She stands in the efulgence cast
By never dimming hope,
And, peering through the gathering night,
She views the narrow way
That bridges over to the bright
Eternal Christmas day.

Alone she creeps away

may be taken as a symbol Of appropri-
ate ceremonies for the celebration Of
the birth of Christ. Pagan kings and
princes, their satraps and subjects, did
indeed give presents, often in connec-
ton with great feasts, with various
ends in view, but 1t Is clear from the
records handed down that the gifts
were not always bribes nor tribute to
physical power. Moral worth and beau
ty were often honored by the bestowal
of rare treasures or some symbol of
riches.

that the strangers were not on a self

Now, when Jesus was born in Bethlehem
of Judaa in the days of Herod the king,
behold, there came wise men from the east
to Jerusalem, saying, Where is he that vas
born king Of the Jews? For we have seen
his star in the cast and have come to wor-
ship him.
When Herod the king had heard these
things, he was troubled and all Jerusalem
with him, and when he had gathered all
the chief priests and scribes of the people
together he demanded Of them where
Christ should be born, and they said unto
him, In Bethlehem OF Judea, for thus it 10

lehem, in the land OF Judaa, for out Of thee
shall come a governor that shall rule my
people Israel. Then Herod, when he had
privily called the wise men. inquired Of
them diligently what time the star ap-
peared, and he sent them to Bethlehem
and said, Go and search diligently for
the young child. and when ye have found
him bring me word again that may come
and worship him also. When they had
heard the king they departed. and, 10, the
star which they saw in the east went
before them till 1t came and stood over
where the young child was When they
saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding
great Joy, and when they were come into

their treasures they presented unto him
gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh.

Notes on Words,
from the Pail Mall Gazette.

Has any one ever noticed how many
words that denote violent action begin, not
with 'f,'' but with ''sp?" Sarah Grands
favorite words, like spank, spark, spasm,
speed spill, spin, spit, split, splinter and
splutter. spring, spurn and squirt. all begin
with these mysterious two letters, while
spears, spurs and spikes. If not violent in
themselves, generally oonduce to nearly as
many violent actions in others as their
neighbor, spite. Is it possible that the eff
fort necessary for pronouncing effectively
words beginning with this diphthong in It
self suggested the idea of violence? If SO, it
can only be to English ears, for Italians
and Spaniards manage to lisp out "sp's'
prettily enough. While on the subject of
words, it may be noticed that a new word
to describe gentleman who is, II anything,
overcareful of his appearance is felt
want. Coxcombs, bucks, macaronis swells,
mashers and dudes have all had their day
and the two last names are now hardly, II
ever, heard. Yet the new word, when 1t
comes, must not have any contemptuous
signification, as have fop or ton. but must
be an epithet such as a self-respectfng
man would receive In the spirit Of Lord
Foppington, who, when styled the prince OF
coxcombs, replied that he was proud to be
at the head of so prevailing a party" The
French some time ago found the exact
word wanted In ''vingtieme," which seems
to have quite replaced the ''incroyabIes,"
"muscadins," "petits creves" and "gom-
rneux" of the past

Probable Time when Trial Of Mrs

ROnine VIII Occur.
The indications now are that the case Of
Mrs. Lola Ida Henry Bonine. indicted for
the murder of James Seymour Ayres, jr.,
while at the Kenmore Hotel May Is last,
will not be called for trial prior to the
middle of November. Counsel for Mrs.
Bonine and the officials of the United
States attorneys office have not yet con-
ferred in regard to the trial. but 1t is un-
derstood that both sides are anxious to
dispose of the case as soon as may be con-
venient.
The prosecuting officers think 1t proper to
give attention to a number of cases OF
minor Importance that have been awaiting
trial for a long time, and will only con-
sumo few hours. or day. EACH prior
to beginning a hearing that Is likely to be
In progress for several weeks, and during
such period tie up the other criminal busi-
ness of the courts. Furthermore, Assistant
United States Attorney Taggart. who Will
figure prominently in connection with the
trial, is in very poor health He departed
on trip this afternoon In quest OF needed
rest and recuperation. The length OF Mr..
Taggarts absence will depend entirely on
the state of his health The case, OF
course will not be tried until Mr.. Taggart
has returned.

ROYAL BICYCLISTS.

Duchess Of Cumberland and Princess
Victoria Ride Wheels.
From the London Express.
One Of tho most enthusiastic among the
royal votaries Of bicycling is the Duchess
OF Cumberland. the youngest sister of
Queen Alexandra. who quite recently made
a tour with her family on bicycles from
Gmunden to Ischl In the Austrian Tyrol.
The duchess bicycles extremely well, and
can go long distances without fatigue. An
other royal bicyclist Is the young King OF
Spain. who is devoted to his wheel" and
likes the machine even better than q horse.
Princess Victoria of England Is another
ong-distance bicyclist, and she has lately
made some quite extended tours In the lake
district and in Wales. Little Prince Ed
ward Of York, who has recently received
a bicycle as a gift from the king, does
most of his cycling In the gardens at Marl-
borough House. The sons of the German
emperor are expert cyclists, and one or
two of them are clever trick riders, while
another wheelman is the young Duke OF
Saxe-Coburg.
Bicycling Is supposed to be on the wane
as an amusement OF the upper classes, but
there seems no foundation for the idea.
The Marquise d. 'Hautpoul Is one of the best
amateur riders. and Lady Archibald Camp
bell As also q good rider. The Duchess OF
st. Albans used to ride good deal, and 80
did Lady Conyers. Battersea Park ana
Hyde Park certainly no longer see crowds
of morning riders. but the wheel is more
than ever recognized as q convenience and
an amusement in country houses.

THE MCKINLEY ESTATE.

1t at 100000.
In Canton it is stated that there is some
mystery regarding the will Of President
Mckinley. and Senator Hanna, Judge Day
and other intimate friends of the late
President are quoted as saying that they
do not know whether he made a will.
Secretary Cortelyou knows that there is
a will, and 1t Is understood he will bring it
to light at the proper time. The will was
made year or so ago. Mr. Cortelyou re-
frains from talking on the subject, but It
is likely that when he goes to Canton next
week in connection with some of the af-
fairs of the late President he will take
with him the will and submit it to the Nc
Kinley family for probate in Canton.
The provisions of the will are not known
Senator Hanna is quoted as estimating that
the estate is worth about 100000. which
includes $67, 600 life insurance. The late
President owned his home on North Mar
ket street in Canton, a business block at
7th and Market streets, the house in which
his mother lived, a store building next to
the Barber residence and large farm at
Minerva, Ohio. He also had stock In sew
eral local concerns at Canton, among them
being the opera house
President Mckinley saved considerable Of
his salary. 1t is regarded as probable
among White House employees that he put
aside about half his salary every year. He
had invested this in real estate and in stock
companies at Canton.

THE TEST OF NUMBERS.
Not True That Nothing Draws Like
the Old Gospel.

Not True That Nothing Draws Like
the Old Gospel.
From the Church Economist.
Again during this month we have had
set up before an audience of ministers and
earnest Christian workers what we must
regard as the dangerous fallacy of numbers
as test of true gospel preaching. 1t is,
we grant. specious claim. Nothing
draws like the old gospel" Men are hun
cry for the simple gospel" These state
ments sound plausible. but are they true?
Nothing draws like the old gospel" How
about horse race? When in the history
Of Christianity did 1900 people pay 50
each to get into an inclosure, and 81 more
for a good seat, to hear the gospel, as re-
Gently they did to see Cresceus trOt against
The Abbot. How about a fire? We have
seen $1,000 people watch a good fire for
hours. We would back dog fight against
the most inspired preacher alive to draw a
crowd on a corner. How about military
hero? At a conservative estimate mil
lion people sat or stood for hours lately in
New York to catch a glimpse Of Dewey
Did ever travelling evangelist address
thousands at every station from the rear
platform of his special train, like a Blaine,
a Mckinley or Bryan?
No; IT you want crowd you must go
to the circus or burn a negro, or sell stocks
or do something else that appeals to the
natural man."
This fallacy is dangerous because 1t dis
courages the gospel preacher and confuses
his judgment. He has preached the plain
est and simplest gospel he knew how and
the crowd doesn't flock to hear him; ergo
he Is q misf1t and a failure. So Satan
whispers to him; so various critical parish
toner's say, not in whisper. Probably
the fact is that the preaching was too
good, rather than not good enough.
Once we heard that grand old man. of
the pulpit, DR.. VIM. M. Taylor. exclalm in
the Broadway Tabernacle. at the conclusion
OF O mastery sermon: IF ever l have de-
clared the pure gospel Of God have done
1t today II you have not needed 1t, am
clear Of your blood" It was a wonderful
sermon. thrilling with gospel truth, but It
was preached to congregation Of quite
ordinary size.

Results Of great scientific interest and inn

By friendly arrangement with the Uni

are the largest known tortoise, species
of giraffe almost identical with the new

Then They Are Safe Till They Raise
Another BOunty-Payfng Scalp.
From no Portland OreContan

Then They Are SAFE TIL They Raise
Another BOunty-Paying Scalp.
From the Portland Oregonan.
Hank Jones, an old trapper, who passed
through Portland some months ago. on his
way from Idaho to the klamath country
to engage in the business Of extirpating
coyotes for the sake of the bounty paid
for the scalps of these pestiferous animals.
arrived here Saturday on his way back to
Idaho, q very much disgusted man.
He said that from what he had seen In
the Oregon papers in regard to the number
of coyote scalps which had been turned in
and bounties paid on he had imagined that
he could make a fortune in the klamath
region In one season. The number Of
coyotes he saw running over the cattle
ranges when he got into klamath county
encouraged him in his idea, and he hast
ened to set all his traps. The first night
he caught several coyotes, but was aston
ished to find that only one Of them had a
scalp. The others were bald-headed-that
is, like old Uncle Ned, they had no hair on
the top of the head In the place where the
hair ought to grow. He could not under
stand this. but said nothing and went on
with his trapping. While he was In kla-
math county he caught dozens Of coyotes,
about IS per cent of which were bald
headed, and some had new scalp par
TALLY grown.
He finally began to inquire what was the
matter with the coyotes in that section.
He found that while the sheepmen were
anxious to have the coyotes killed off. and
had secured the passage Of the bounty law,
the .cattlemen wished the coyotes preserved
in order that they might kill off the sheep
and leave the range grass for the cattle.
The cowboys employed by the cattlemen
had worked to this end by running down
and lassoing coyotes and ripping their
scalps off and allowing them to go at large.
The coyotes suffered but little from the loss
of their scalps. and. finding that after they
had yielded them up they were allowed to
frequent the cattle ranges without being
molested, and to grow fat on mutton, they
soon grasped the situation and began &c
come in and be scalped when hot weather
set in. A new scalp grows on the bald
heads in one season. and they all come In
once a year to be scalped. and the cow
boys are getting rich on bounties, while
the number of coyotes increases.
Mr.. Jones says that unless the bounty
law is repealed every cowboy in that re-
gion will be a millionaire and the state
will be bankrupt in a few years. II any
one doubts this statement he Is assured
that Mr.. Jones is an honest man-in fact,
he has long been known in that part OF
Idaho where he resided as Honest JONES'"
