to the seclusion Of her room. On
Christmas morning when Stephen
Wells rose he found a chair standing
close to his bed and from one corner
hung one Of his socks. Investigating
in amazement he discovered crowded
into It two pair Of knit socks and PIN
ned to them was the following note;
Dear Stephen: Il wanted to give
you something that was my own hand
iwork and that cost me something OF
time or sacrifice to get I can do so
little that l could think Of nothing ex-
cepting to knit you some socks like
grandma used to knit So here they
are-not much, excepting a love-token
from your wife"
The man went to the window and
looked out into the vista OF sparkling
snow for a long time. When he pro-
ceeded with his dressing there were
tears In his eyes. He went straight to
his wife and gathering her in his arms
kissed her again and again.
Ihere were several surprises az the
Wells home that day. The formal
course dinner was supplanted, much to
the chefs disgust, with a genuine old
fashioned turkey dinner; the house was
resplendent with holly and mistletoe.
and in the evening there was the mer-
riest sort of a Christmas tree, loaded
with good things. The nieces from the
country voted that It was the jolliest
Christmas they had ever spent.

CHRISTMAS

Christmas tide has come again and
all the little children are thinking
about Santa Claus, and some are won
dering II he will come to their house
this time. There is hardly any rea-
son for any child to believe that he
will not come. A good many things
change in this world. but on Christ
mas Eve merry old Santa Claus is al
ways heard of-his hair as white. his
nose as red, as ever; his bag OF toys
just as full; his cry down the CHM
ney Of ANY good children here7" just
as loud.
Kris Kringle is another name for
Santa Claus, and a very good name
too; and stockings are not the only
things that hold toys. Little German
peasant children often set their wood
en- shoes on the hearth on Christmas
eve, pretty sure Of a cake and a toy;
for children. however poor their par
ents may be, are made much OF in
Germany. And In some places In Eu-
rope a curious thing happens. The
mother the father and the rest Of
the family sit about the FIRE together

All the room Is tidy. The children.

they hear q sound OF trumpets OF
horns outside. Then the mother says:

door. AS she does 50, a number OF
very strange looking figures come in

in his hand. and another in black.

the mother answers.

The children begin 70 cry. The

says:
The little ones will be better next

Ny Lady rose from the table and
swept gracefully from the dining
room, atatuesque and beautiful. as
always. At the door she turned and
said:
why, certainly, have them down for
the holidays II you think they would
enjoy it. My time will be SO fully oc-
cupied, however, that I will not have
much Of 1t to devote to them-and our
holiday atmosphere is not Of the sort
they are accustomed to in the country,
/ fancy" This with a smile denoting
well-bred acquiescenoe but absolutely
devoid OF warmth.
The man behind her. gray and
trife bent, with tired eyes, deep wrin-
kles in his face, inclined his head with
a half sigh and replied:
Thank you, my dear, and I guess
you are right 1t would be anything
but a merry Christmas, fear, for the
girls here. We seem to have lost the
spirit Of the season. / thought per-
haps they might bring a little Of the
holiday cheer into the house-but you
are right, It would only spoil their
season"
Insooth It was little Of the holiday
cheer that the great house had ever
known. Long, long years ago, just
after they were married and when they
had lived In the humber home in the
suburbs Christmas had been season
OF holly and mlstletoe, Of love tokens
and surprises, Of turkey and cranberry
sauce and plum pudding. Especially
after baby came there had been some
gorgeous celebrations with Christmas
trees and Santa Claus and all the
things so dear to the heart of child
hood. But when the little one died the
shock and sorrow and the disappoint-
ment and the heart-sickness were so
keen that It was simply impossible to
return to the old habits and ways Of
which the little one had been so es-
sential a part. They had even shrunk
from the ordinary manifestations Of
mutual affection and companionshp,
which served as a poignant reminder
OF the loss each felt so deeply In their
very different ways.
Something of all these things was in
the mind Of each that December even
ing a week before Christmas as they
sat in the magnificent drawing room,
he half reading his newspaper and she
idly turning the pages Of magazine.
Presently she rang for a servant and
ordered her carriage.

plans It is not at all important"
mo" he replied, Il have no other
plans. have a trial balance to go
over, come to think Of It."
But his eyes looked more weary and
more sunken as she left the room. As
she turned to wave him a good-na-
tured adieu he arose to go to his IL
brary and she caught the expression
and her eyes contracted with a puz-
zled look

Lady rode through the rain her car

Frisco May Buy the Mexican Central

Frisco May Buy the Mexican Central
Railway.
New York, April 1S.-It can be definitely
stated that further progress has been
made in the southwestern railroad deal
which is being engineered by the Stan
dard Oil-Gould-Harriman interests.
Just what properties are to be included
in this new consolidation of railroads can
not be accurately stated, but the pros
pective purchaser of the Mexican Central
is. or is TO be. the St Louis and san
Francisco Railroad company and shrewd
railroad men say that il the Frisco has
bought the Mexican Central then some
one has bought the Frisco. The strength
and activity Of Mexican Central issues
clearly indicates a purchase for some pri-
vate interest.
From one Of the very highest banking
authorities the information is obtained
that eventually the St Louis and san
Francisco VIII turn up as owner Of the
property When asked recently II the st.
Louis and San Francisco was not plan
ming an extension toward Mexico. Presi-
dent H. r. Yoakum of the road. said:
Yes. we are 10 build an extension to-
ward Mexico"
Mr.. Yoal1um said that the Frisco road
had not bought the Mexican Central. but
when asked If it was not the intention OF
the Frisco interests to take over that
property he said that he could not tel
what nigh happen in the future. Ran
road men who have heard the report saw
without exception that Il the Frisco has
acquired or IS TO acquire the Mexican
Central then some greater power has
acquired the Frisco. The consensus of
opinion is that any such purchase would
logically be The Gould interest. which. de-

M'KINLEY
PRESIDENTS COUSIN TO BE TER
RETORIAL SECRETARY,
Little Doubt About His Chances for
Selection.

Guthrie, O. T., April Is.-It is announced
here this afternoon that ?. E. Mckinley,
Of this city. receiver Of the land office.
has been selected by President Mckinley
to be secretary OF the territory to sue
coed the present incumbent, VIM. NJ.
Jenkins. Dispatches have been received
from Washington 10 this effect, and
there is little question but what it is a
settled fact from this point of view. The
fact that William Grimes. who has been
mentioned so often for the place, is ma
tional committeeman. probably had some
thing to do with the selection Of Mr.. Nc
Kinley. AS soon as the selection OF Mr..
Jenkins as governor of Oklahoma be-
came known. Mr.. Mckinley wired east.
stating that he wanted the place. In
fact, he was one Of the first applicants
and secured quick recognition. The COM
for governor and secretary will
probably be made out at the same time.
F. 2. Mckinley is a cousin of the pres
ident Of the United States. and came
here four years ago. A short time after
becoming a resident Of the territory he
was made receiver Of the land office,
which position he has held since then.
The selection Of Mckinley for the secre-
tarys position rather upsets the calcula-
tons Of some Of the politicians. but there
is little question but what he is a good
man for the place.

The spring OF the year is the time for
blood purifiers. II is the season when we
think we must dose ourselves with sar-

AS q matter OF fact there is but one
possible way in which to purify the blood

This is the reason why Stuart's Dys-
