YULE TIDE PROBLEMS.

Hunting for Christmas present
For each blooming friend you know
Is a task that's far from pleasant
When your funds are running low.
1t is hard to make selections
That with joy all hearts will thrill
When you've got to make twelve sections
or a lone ten-dollar bill.
Peoples wants are so extensive
That they fill you with despair.
They all hope for gifts expensive.
They don't know how i'll they'll fare!
II you have lot of money.
Buying presents Is great sport
But it's anything but funny
When your bank account is short

V r.. CHRISTMAS

Christmas tide has come again and
all the little children are thinking
about Santa Claus, and some are WON
dering if 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 all
ways heard of-his hair as white, his
nose as red. as ever; his bag of toys
just as full; his cry down the Chin
ney of ANY good children here?" 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 cake and 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
on Christmas Eve
All the room is tidy. The children,
half hopeful. half terrified, draw close
amongst them one person ~uresseu IL
white, with wings, and a great basket
in his hand, and another in black,
with bunch of rods.
God bless you ALL says the figure
in white. Are there any good chill
dren here?'
Are there any bad children here?"
asks the black figure.
MY children are all pretty good"
the mother answers.
Il am glad to hear It," says the
white visitor Il have gifts here for
good children"
Stop the black figure cries; they
are not good. Hans struck his broth
er yesterday Gretchen does not know
her catechism, and Petra broke a
piece from the Sunday cake as it sat
to cool on the window-sill. l will
leave rods to whip them all with"
The children begin to cry. The
white figure spreads out his hands and
says:
"The little ones will be better next
year Then he takes one of the rods
from the black visitor and drives him
out. The visitors play on the instru-
ments they have brought, and the
whole family sing Christmas hymns.
The angelic visitor then empties his
basket on the table, and leaves there
a great number Of iced cakes, gilded
nuts, gingerbread horses, and wooden
toys, and then departs. The mother
tells the children to be good all the
year. lest the rod should really be left
for them on the next Christmas, and
al. have supper and go to bed.
Christmas day is a happy one for
most children all over the Christian
world. and l hope that because this is
so they will remember that this day
is kept because eighteen hundred and
eighty-one years ago, Jesus, who said,
Suffer little children, and forbid
them not, to come unto me, for of such
is the kingdom of heaven" was first
a babe in his mothers arms.-Mary
Kyle Dallas in the New York Ledger.

ROOSETELTyS RnnM

Gov. Yates declaration in favor OF
Roosevelt for president may be accented
as the earliest expression given to a
sentiment prevailing among Republicans
which may result in prolonged warfare
within the party.
Ihere Is no other man in the Repub-
lican party who enjoys the same degree
OF popularity among his political asso-
ciates, excepting Mckinley alone Roose-
welt is in many respects an offensive
personality, BY Democrats he is to
great extent looked upon with mingled
contempt AMI amusement. But with the
rank and file of his own party-not the
politicians-he enjoys an unequaled pop-
ularity.
1t has evidently been already decreed
that Roosevelt will have the opposition
of the party machine in his own state.
The advent of the present governor into
great prominence seems to be accepted
as involving the passing of Roosevelt.
Mr.. Plat has spoken of the two men
possible rival aspirants for the pres.den-
tial nomination-w,th much plainness.
He has said of Oden that he will be re-
elected governor and will thereafter be
the choice of his state for the presidency.
Before so declaring he said of Roosevelt
that he would prove a strong candidate
for vice president and a weak one for
governor. Each of these statements would
seem clearly to imply that Odell is strong
and Roosevelt weak with the machine in
New York
1t does not matter whether it is really
Odell or Flat who is at the head of the
New York machine, nor whether they
have decided that Roosevelt shall NOT
be considered. They and their following
will in the last event have to count with
the rough rider. What Gov Yates SAYS
of him viii be said by others, and no
mere dictum of the New York machine
will suffice to cast him out of the race
If Roosevelt has the honest support of
his own state he will be the strongest
candidate before me convention. 1t seems
hardly Conceivable, if ne avows himself a
Candidate, that he will not have some
proportion, whether great or small of
the delegates from his own state. It is
sun possible to nominate man to the

the names Of the swell little boys her

When the party came off she met
Jimmy. He had shrewd, bright little
face with a snub nose and jolly eyes,
and he seemed well behaved; but judging
by the standards Of an Olympian, she
could not see anything to account for
The defePential admiration which all the
boys displayed toward Jimmy.
Where he was, there was the crowd
He was not arrogant, but he evidently
accepted the homage as his due, and
he had the air of easy superiority that
a boss politician shows to his faithful
nenchmen. He patronized the youthful
heir of the millionaire steel man, and
condescended to the cerulean- blooded
scion of the ancient KnickerbocISers.

Later, she found the clue for which

Active exertion was not to pc thought

You see," he explained, I'm at the

The boys faces said that they all liked
fires, but few We're like Jimmy, favored
of the gods.
THE men kind of took shine to me,
1 guess. They used to scold about having
a kid around under foot, at first, but

me. and 1 was awful good friends with
the horses. Bimeby the men got -

"And then they used to tell stories,
and 1 like the stories so much that it
sort of tickled them, and [ knew a lot
about the engines. and didn't forget any
thing they told me, and went to all the
fires within running distance. Then I
got my bicycle and kept it around at the
engine house. The minute call came
in, I'd jump on my wheel and go lickety

me go on the cart, now; and, when
they're just out for exercise, I ride with

Gee; he's great. I'd rather be him

SUNDAY LAWS.
Harper's Weekly

Harpers Weekly.
DR.. Charles H. Eaton, Of New York IN
discussing Sunday observance and Sunday
laws in sermon which has been report
ed, disclosed it as his view Of the logo
Of the Sunday question that EVERY law
now existing that rests on religious
ground should be abrJgated." That
seems to be a sound conclusion. 1t would
leave plenty OF Sunday laws. based not
on religion, but on reasons Of economic
eXpediency and public interest And It
would leave Sunday observance in most
particulars to the individual conscience.
Nothing else can govern It. AS to the
details Of ths religious observance Of
Sunday it IS hard to find two persons
VINO agree. One pioUs man takes his
horses out on Sunday. but thinks it a
violation Of the Sabbath to ride on the
street cars. His neighbor rides on tho
street cars to save his coachman from
unnecessary Sunday labor ...t
Sunday Is really doing pretty well as it
Is in this part Of the word for the op-
pressiye laws. where they exist, cannot
be enforced. and the salutary protestlve
and restrictive laws are pretty well sup
ported by public opinion. Few Americans
suffer from blue laws" nowadays. and
not many have sound reasons to com
plain that they are prejudicel in their
use or enjoyment OF the day by the H.
cense Of their neighbors.
