LONDON FETEs ROBERTS.
Prince and Pauper Cheer the Re
turning General.


London, Jan. 3.--LOrd Roberts today
received a right royal welcome on his
return to London after a years absence
in South Africa The crowds were not
so dense nor 50 demonstrative as dur
ing the recent war celebrations, but
people paid from three to ten guineas
for seats on Piccadiliy and st. James
street balconies. Stately mansions like
ApsIey House Lord ROthschilds and
the Duke Of Devonshire's were crowd
ed with notable personages, but there
prevailed on all sides a feeling that the
progress Of the campaign did not war
rant triumphaI Ovations, though this
in no respect detracted from the af-
lection with which the little field mar
shall was greeted. It was as a man.
rather than as a general that London
welcomed 'BObs."

crowd. But brown or white big or lit

affection His modest bearing and the
care with which he salUted on all sides
today along the route further endeared
him to the people

Lord Roberts was in full uniform, but
behind his carriage his staff followed
in khaki. They and six Indian order
lies. in magnificent, semi-barbaTic uni
forms, were the only picturesque fea-
lures of the little procession. The fact
that his personal escort consisted of
the Tenth Hussars, which regiment
Lord ROSslyn and others have accused
of cowardice at Sannas Post. was taken
to indicate Lord Roberts express desire
to eXculpate these HUSsaTS from any
blame, besides paying a tribute 10 the

Such an array of royal personages

Christmas.

Christmas has come again. my love,
With all Its Joys and cheer.
The children laugh and shout,
Just Is they did last year.
And you were one Of the happy band
That played last Christmas day.
Old santa filled your little sock
And merrily went his wav.
Oh! Santa! have you found my boy
And filed his sock this Christmas
night.
Or do you visit that home aDovc'
Where al Is JOY, and peace and iights
For q cold = the clay that wraps his
form,
Nv baby sleeps in his coffin, white.
His little hands on his bosom pressed,
Beyond al pain this Christmas night.
His little lips will laugh no more.
No more his little hands clasp mine.
But Jesus, our Lord, has wilied It 50.
l humbly bend my will to thine.
