The Sunday school teacher was telling
Tommy Tuffun about Santa Claus and his

ton of presents to good little boys and
girls.

'em away free gratis fer nuttin'?" ask
ed Tommy
Certainly said the teacher.
Gee! He mus be easy!'' cried Tommy.
What a puddin' But say, teacher,

Yes, you must be good was the
reply.

But you're a good boy, Tommy re-
monstrated the teacher. All the boys in
the class are going to write a letter to
Santa Claus telling him what they want
for Christmas. and you must write too
Tommy agreed to do so. and after half
an hour of hard work with a pencil he
handed the teacher the following letter:

Say, stop your signs,
You know that sunIit skies
Are over there beyond the gray,
And that upon this Christmas day
You ought to shove the clouds a-aX
And let the everlasting blue
Shine through.
Then, why
In thunder don't you try
To shove, instead
OF standing there with dropping head
And heavy Heart?
Get a move on; start.
Here's a Merry Christmas to the world.
And where it isn't, go

With all TIE rest,
And that will make it so.

Get jolly.
Scatter the bay and the holly,
And sling
Merry Christmas into everything.

A CHRISTMAS "YAwpv BY THE "YAwPER9 LAUREATE.

| Perhaps
Dame Fortune Slaps
Your jaws,
And gives you cause
To swear at her; but there,
Don't swear;
Just smile,
And after awhile
She'll smile;
But if she doesn't,
Then bear in mind that she
Provides you with much company.
Brace up for Christmas.
Good Lordi Man,
You ought to know you can
If you half try.
Go watch the children.
What a little thing
Makes every youngster shout and sing,
And do you do that little?
Don't you know
The big things mostly are for show,
And that it is the little are
The steps that lead you to your star?

Shake off the burden of yourself
And be free man.
Free to do just what you can.

Yet made compelling Santa Claus
To give UP millions;

Compelled to do

CHILDREN GIVE PRESENTS.
Contribute to Less Fortunate

The children of Plymouth Congrega-

Christ child very appropriately last
night in the lecture room of the church
The spirit of giving was manifest
throughout the service. for instead of
receiving gifts each child brought toys
to be given to the relief society to glad
den the hearts of children who as a
rule. know little of the joys of Christmas
save what they see through the shop
windows. The room was bright With

brilliantly decorated, lighted one end of
the room, but brighter still were the
faces of over 200 children who composed
a large proportion of the audience.
The service was almost entirely fur
nished by the children, who sang carols
of the child Christ. Harold RoweH gave
the opening address, and Rev. Mr.. Nor
rison pastor of the church, and Mr..
White. superintendent of the Sunday
school, assisted in the programme.
There were recitations by several class
es of the primary department, also by
Earl and Mary Myron and John
Keohe. Edith Jones sang solo
and Mayo Wilson and his SIS
ter sang a pretty duet. Miss kel-
lars class sang a Christmas lullaby. At
ter this part of the programme there
was moment of breathlesS suspense for
the children, the sound of sleighbells,
and then followed visit from Santa
Claus, who had nuts and candy for ev-
eryone.

financial affairs that now seems imminent"
The Mckinley tariff act. passed in 1890. put
raw sugar on the free list and made other
changes which put an end to the surplus
which had been accommodating from year
TO year previous TO the enactment Of the
Mckinley law. The country has never been
more generally prosperous than it was dur
ing the years 1891 and 1892, but many voters
were led to believe that greater prosperity
would come with a tariff for revenue only
and the Homestead troubles did the re-
mainder to defeat the reelection of General
Harrison. Before the end Of the Harrison
administration the receipts and expendi-
lures Of the treasury were nearly equal,
and early in the Cleveland administration
the expenditures Outran the receipts. The
Wilson tariff simply made matters
worse for time. 1t was not until the Re
publicans returned to power and enacted
the Dingley tariff that public confidence
under the Mckinley administration put a
small surplus in the treasury.

REDUCED EXPENDITURES.

1t now appears that the legislation of
the last Congress cutting off many sources
of revenue will not bring the receipts and
expenditures of the government very close
together. That such legislation has not
mad that effect is the cause of so general
surprise that newspapers speak of the
persistent surplus" IT now appears that
the surplus OF the present fiscal year.
which began July l. 1901, will reach SIS, OOO,-
600, in spite of the reduction OF $780, 900 or
s45. 100000 which the legislation of the last
Congress caused During the last fiscal
year the surplus was S79,5OOOOO. The tax
reduction law has caused drop in the re-
ceipts of the treasury the past four months,
compared with the corresponding months
of 1900. of $4.5OOOOO. which indicated s13, $780,
600 during the fiscal year, instead of the
$40. 100000 estimated by the trainers Of the
law to reduce the revenue. The Astounding
prosperity of the country has caused an
unexpected increase of the revenue from
customs and other sources
The receipts of the treasury, however,
do not account for much over half Of 1.-The
persistent SURPLUS since a very large part
comes from the decreased expenditures the
past four months, compared with the cor
responding four months of 1900 1t is the
unexpected shrinkage of expenditures that
has made the present surplus a sort of a
mystery, due largely to the policy of econ
omy enforced in the War Department by
Secretary Root. For the month of October
the disbursements of the War Department
were 1854 .47O. against over $4,000 600 during
October, 1900. During the four months of
the present fiscal year. which ended with
October, the treasury disbursements on &C
count of the War Department were nearly
81. 100000 less than during the correspond
ing period of the last fiscal year. Naval
expenditures show a tendency to increase,
which may Offset, 10 limited extent the
gratifying saving effected in the army &C
count, but the few increases in expendi-
lures in either direction will not be suf-
hcient TO offset so materially the much
larger reductions in other departments
that they will not contribute large factor
in creating the surprising and persistent
surplus.

THE GOVERNORS DECISION.

There are those who will insist that the
last trial of Caleb Powers by Judge Can
trill's court was fair and impartial Those
who do so insist will not approve of the let
ter which Governor Durbin has written to
the Governor of Kentucky declining to
honor his acquisitions for Messrs Taylor
and Finley. All those people who followed
that trial and are able to consider the mat
ter without partisan bias must arrive at
Governor Durbin's conclusion that the two
men demanded will not receive fair trial,
and, therefore, should not be given up. AS
Stunning that the question of his discretion
in the matter has been settled by abundant
presidents in his favor, Governor Durbin
considers the one question: Twill these cit
liens Of Indiana demanded receive an i'm
partial trial?" The notorious conduct of
Judge Cantrill in the previous trials and the
securing of a jury composed entirely of
Goebel Democrats in a county where the
two leading parties have about the same
number of voters, lead the Governor to con-
Guide that the trials of Taylor and Finley
would be travesties upon Justice and judi
cial procedure, as the previous trials have
been.
Governor Durbin makes a strong point
when he contrasts the procedure in the
United States Court here, several years ago,
when a Democrat, for some infraction OF
federal law. was put on trial. His counsel
Governor Hendricks, asked a political poll
of the Jury and his request was granted.
1t appeared that seven Of the panel were
Republicans Thereupon Governor Hen
bricks claimed that his client did not stand
a fair chance, and asked that a new jury
be secured, to be composed of six men OF
each party. His motion was allowed and
the marshal went out and summoned six
well-known men of each party. If Judge
Cantrill, in the last performance over Pow
ers, had not refused the motion for q
change Of venue, and jury composed OF
prominent men of both parties in equal, OIL
nearly equal, numbers had been called tC
hear the case, Governor Durbin would not
be justified in refusing to honor the requisi.
tons, but with the assurance of such
travesty of justice in the case of Taylor and
Finley as had taken place in the previous
trials, TO deliver the men would have made
Governor Durbin a member of the con.
