HO. MERRY CHRISTMAS:

Ho, merry children, far and wide.
Get out your sleds-let's take ride;
The grounds covered deep with snow.
And down the slippery hills wen go:
Put ON your mittens, coats and caps,
Your leggings, hoods aid muffie traps
Wen have Jolly time.
And let us keep sharp lookout,
For Santa is somewhere about:
But he's so cunning, cute and wise
We cannot take him by surprise;
So after we have spent the day
In fun and mirth and sport so gay,
Wen go to bed at nine.
Then jolly Santa Claus will come
And fill our stockings, every one,
With candies, cakes and nuts and TOYS
Enough for all us girls and boys.
Though some of us have been so bad
1t may be that old Santa's mad,
But we will wait and see.

A Prayer.
Mayor C. NJ. Rathbun, of Loeb
Lynn, contributed the following poem,
"A Prayer" to a recent issue
of the Pittsburg AdcOc0te
It's meet that all should thank the Lord
For constant, loving care,
And wav'ring hearts to turn again
While he may heed their prayer.
Forgive me, Lord, in that I've done
Displeasing in thy sight,
While in LIES busy, garish day
could not see Alright.
Give grace to lead my hating faith
Wher'er thou deemeth best.
That may do thy righte Gus will,
And bless as am blest.
Thy way is love-constrain me, Lord
Therein to follow thee,
Until life's troubles are dispelled
In heavens jubilee.

STIFF WIND BLOWING
 IN MONTGOMERY
Roof of House Ripped Off-The Settled Weather Is Not Affected In
 This Region.

Montgomery, August 15.-A stiff south east wind has been blowing in this city since o'clock last night. It is accom- panied by a heavy downpour of rain.
 The wind reached it's highest velocity at 1 o'clock this morning, when the tin roof of a three-story building in the business district was ripped off and fell with a crash into the street. No other damage is reported.
 District Observer Chafee of the weather bureau says of the storm conditions to- night:
 "While the storm was moving very slow ly northeastward, 1t had increased in ve- locity, the barometer reading as low as 29 A inches at New Orleans, and its ve- locity of revolution around the center was steadily increasing, giving high winds quite generally along the gulf.
 There will be no settled weather over this region until the gulf storm moves over to the north, which will probably be by tomorrow afternoon or night"
 From Magazine point into Mobile the railroad parallels Mobile river. Passenber trains leaving here tonight will not att tempt to go further south than Floma- ton.
 All railroad wires are down and details of damage to railroad and other property are not obtainable.
 A special train besrinS- track and bridge repairs and telegraph linemen left here on the Louisville and Nashville for the south at T o'clock tonight.

HARcoURT JUMPS ON
 ENGLAND'S WAR POLICY
II. characterlzes Kitchener's Proclaim
 ation to the Boers as Ms chievous Document.

London, August 15.-The waning ses- sion of the House of Commons was en- 1vened today by a vigorous tile between Sir William Vernon Harcourt. Liberal, and MT. Chamberlain, the Colonial sec retarv. over Lord Kitcheners prociama- tion.
 Sir William characterized 1t as mis- cbieyous document, the Inspiration or natther Lord Kitchener nor Lord Milner, hut of the ministry of Natl" He de- clared the government, in armdng the na- lives. was reverting to a. practice which had left the darkest stain on the history of tbe war between England and Amer ica-
 The new policy of the government ,,ron,ised to be neither creditable nor ef- fectiye and was in contravention or all the fundamental principles of the St. Pc tarsburg convention. The country would welcome an ante adjournment statement on the status of the war on which IL was still spending f5. 100000 month, although the war was declared ended at the close of the last session.
 MT. Chamberlain said the war status was clearly indicated by Lord Kitcheners weekly reports He himself had gone out of the prophesying business, but he as- sured the speaker that the government s attitude was the only method of ending the war The colonial secretary declared that the use of native troops was no new policy. It had been pursued without ad- verse criticism. The Indian troops in Chi na had been cooperating with the troops of five or the highest civilized powers.

COMMISSIONER ousTED.
w. p. Burner Failed to Obey Order of
 Governor Johnston.

Ardmore, I. T., August 15.-W. P. Burney, Indian Commissioner in the matter of appraising town site prop erty, was today dismissed from the service by Acting Secretary of the h. terior Ryan because he refused to ap- praise town site property on the ad- vice of Governor Johnston of the Chick asaw nation. Governor Johnston al- leges a violation of the agreement en- tered into between the United States and the Indian government. A legal fight will now follow, as the Governor will refuse to sign deeds to the prop erty. Governor Johnston issued a statement, saying:
 "The reason MT. Burney was or dered not to appraise town site prop erty was that the mapping and plating of the towns is not in accordance with the treaty. We are anxious to close this business according to the Atoka agreement, but will not submit to any other settlement. If the agreement followed, appraisement of town prop erty will soon be finished"
