Jenkins" said the city editor, here's
i've dollars lady sent us TO give q
poor old chap up on Tenth street. You
see, she wants to know it reached him
and doesn't want to register a letter.
for he must not know who sends IL.
So run up with it and get receipt for
1t that we may send her"
L was soon on Tenth street. The
number sought was a tumble down old
rookery, and the children snowballing
each other in the street stopped long
enough to tell me that old Mr.. Jones
lived on the top floor.
Come in" piped a CHEEKY, shrill
voice as L Knocked on his door, l did.
Seated 10y the window, nightcap on
head and spectacles on nose. sat a
bright eyed, gray haired, much wrin-
kled old fellow. clean shaven and very
tall and stopped. Merry Christmas~
he piped as soon as he saw me and
grinned affably, displaying few large
teeth that were still white.
l stammered forth the conventional
answer. l could do no more than
stammer il. for such a salutation in
such place quite staggered me. The
rickety bed, the unlighted stove. the
broken loaf of bread on the bare little
table. the absence Of carpet. the two
chairs. told the story of deepest nov
erty at glance. | hastily gave him
the money and took his receipt.
"Sit down on that other chair and
gladden. my Christmas" said he. This
gift of money is nothing to your COM
pany. | deserve it, he added a little
pettiShly. y have gladdened others

Iur pirds," said he. pointing out
the window to where a few sparrows
on the fire escape were pecking at a
piece Of his loaf.
1T is this that has made you happy
/ today In spite Of
1T is one Of the things. That was
my Christmas giving. 1t was all I
| could give until you came, but now [
am under the necessity of seeking
human objects for my bounty. The
aims share of this is too big for the
BIRDS"
''Can you find any poorer than your
selfY' inquired.
Yes, even in the palaces" he said
solemnly. Rising and leaning on the
long stick which he had kept beside
him, he thus went on:
Il began my celebration Of Christ
mas yesterday afternoon by going to
the free library and reading Dickens
Christmas CAROL For years / have
read it on Christmas eve-that is, to
fill myself with the true Christmas
spirit Of charity, love, peace and good
will. 1t always succeeds. Has any
millionaire in this great city begun
more wisely?
Having finished my reading, walk
ed through the crisp, frosty air to the
boulevard to enjoy the sleighing. 1t
was very fine. Time was when l used
to sit in one Of those vehicles and go
skimming over the snow. 1 lost half
the sport could not see the cutters
skim by, the rosy cheeks of the riders,
and ran risk of spill. l could hear
no bells but those on my own team,
but, ali, standing on the roadside-how
different!
''The skating on the lake next inter-
ested me, and 1 enjoyed it greatly.
Home to tea next, with a keen appe-
tite. Had a full larder and that appe-
tite l would eat enough to be sluggish,
and then l should not go out again.
But slice of bread, an onion and a
cup of black tea-no gluttony in that
yet enough.
Il went out to do my Christmas
shopping. Oh, / saw everything-all
the riches Of the earth displayed in
windows. Remember that the great
delight in most of them is in looking
at them. and that if they are personal
ornaments you cannot very well see
them after you put them on. l feasted
my eyes fully from the outside Of the
windows. 1t was the best Christmas
shopping | ever did. and l have done
much shopping in my time. l can tell
you.
Midnight mass - grand. celestial,
No, sir; not Catholic but do not let
that fact stand between me and cpl
curean enjoyment.
Il slept the sleep OF the contented
man, sir, dreaming OF the beautiful
bright skies and green fields and pleas
ant waters of sumner that are all |
mine. sir, as much as a kings. !
'See my Iule logp He pointed TO a
piece of camel coal beside the stove.
Il will light that by and by l will |
roast a little joint of meat over it and /
make me a little wassail-bowl of |
cider with a roast apple in it - and !

Arrested.

Muskegon, Mich, Sept. 13.-James
Reavey, a Montague youth, came TO
the city yesterday to take in the fair,
and as the result Of being too gay with
firearms is now confined in a cell in
the city hall station, wi,n probably a
serious offense pending against him.
Reavey went into William Taylor's
saloon with a friend, and when asked
to pay for the drinks he ordered, he
pulled out a revolver and fired, appar-
emily at the bartender, Jake Madden.
The bullet glanced on the bar and
lodged in the breast OF the bartender.
Fortunately, it struck the victim in
the breast bone, after boring hole in
the flesh three-Quarters OF an inch
deep. The wound is, therefore, not Of
a serious nature. Reavey was prompt
ly arrested. He claims it was uninten-
tiOnal.

the circuit court Saturday at O'Clock.
when the jury, after having been out
for 40 minutes, rendered a verdict OF
guilty of murder in the first degree.
The prisoner was much effected. and
there were tears in his eyes when, in
response 10 the question of the judge
whether he had anything TO say why
sentence should not be pronounced,
he answered that he thought the jury
had been prejudiced against him by
reading of the shooting of the presi-
dent. Judge Wisner told the prisoner
that the presidents assassination had
nothing to do with 1t, and that under
the evidence the jury could have ar.
rived at no other verdict. He then
sentenced the prisoner to Jackson for
life at hard labor. Weeks family
broke down when sentence was pro-
nounced, and after kissing them the
condemned man was taken back to
Jail. He will be taken TO Jackson as
