CHRISTMAS.

Sweet Christmas tide with all its Joys
For merry girls and romping boys,
And gentle maid whose willy beau
Has enticed meath the mistletOe.
The smaller children shout with glee,
Around the laden Christmas tree;
Dear little ones, this is their time,
In every land and every cline.
One story goes: cit was their care
That caused this wondrous tree to bear"
SO 'tis but meet that there should be,
On Christmas well filled tree.
The anxious mother, pressed with care,
That each and all may have share
OF all the good things Santa brings,
From costly gifts to popcorn strings.
Each happy face does now attest
How well her efforts have been blest,
Fen mammy's sable face grows bright,
To hear her name 80 oft tonight.
She's nursed, loved and spollt them all,
From little Nellie TO Jack so tall;
Tonight, they show for her their love,
And by their gifts their love they prove
But father lays his cares away,
On this dear welcome festal day,
And has rUmp with girls and boys;
Yea, even dares to claim the toys.
Sweet little Nell is wild with Joy,
Whenever papa plays the boy,
And jamie thinks It is such fun,
To see him march with drum and gun.
Dear grandma's very quiet now,
But eyes are busy meath her brow
They follow Jack at mother's side.
And winsOme Mable, fathers pride.
Bad handsome Hal, and bonny Bess,
| ave each some mischief to confess.
They've played some prank on VIII and SUE
And find that grandma's seen them, too.
She views each scene with keen delight,
In this sweet home this happy night.
Beneath the mistletoe she spies,
. Dear gentle Sue with dropping eyes.
At Susle's age, she too was fair,
With rosy cheeks and golden hair;
And twas upon a night like this,
That grandpa stole from her kiss
And grandpa-well you'd think that he
Had found his youth upon the tree
At grandma steals rOguish glance,
And banters Susie for dance.
Grandpa's Just as bright and Jolly,
As when he gathered Christmas holly,
In those sweet days, so long ago
He kissed grandma meath mistletoe,

and therefore was entitled to the name.
The members from middle and west Ten

was proper one.
An effort was made to debar gold demo-

BULLET IN HIS HIP.
Policeman shoots CoIored Man Who
Attempted TO Murder Him

John Williams. colored, thirty-four years
old, is a patient at the Emergency Hospital
suffering from pistol shot wound I'm the
hip. The wound was inflicted I'm South
Washington last night by Policeman Culli-
name. after the colored man had fired one
shot at the officer.
Williams is well known to the police and
has had for number Of years the reputa-
tlon of being a police fighter. Several
times during his career shots have been
fired at him. both by the police and citi-
zens, and once, several years ago It is
stated, bullet struck him.
Policemen Kemp and CullInane were told
last night that there was an intoxicated
negro on Delaware avenue who was dis
orderly and was fiourishing a revolver
Williams was still having fun with his
weapon when the police neared him, and
it is alleged he made the statement that
the policeman who attempted to arrest him
would die, Policeman Cullinane approached
10 arrest the negro, ,wl.ereupon the latter lev
eled his revolver and pulled the trigger. The
bullet came uncomfortably close to the Of
ficer, and Williams then turned and ran.
Close behind him was Cullinane. and
bullet from the latter's pistol brought the
fleeing man to the ground.
Although painfully wounded Williams was
still in lighting mood, and the police had
considerable trouble with him before he was
finally landed in the Emergency Hospitai
He was taken there in the fourth precinct
patrol wagon, and the surgeons soon sue
ceeded in locating the bullet Policeman
Hibl. who is on detailed duty at the hos

night and Policeman McGregor relieved him
this morning. A charge of attempted mur-
der was preferred against the coiored man

CAUSED BY
COFFEE.

Careful inquiry in the
school room developed the fact
that those children who are
habitually given coffee to drink
have sallow complexion, are
nervous, more or less irritable
and very sluggish intellect, or
an overwrought and abnormal
imagination, results of extreme
nervousness. My own expert
ence with coffee drinking kept
me afflicted for some wears
with severe and constant head
aches, with extreme nervous
ness at times.

We desire to call attention to
the fact that Saturday next, the

of Randall county will be called
on 70 select the delegates that
are to represent them in the va
riouS conventions. The two
most important positions to be
filed, as far as the interests of
this section GO, are State Sena-
tor and Representative. Hon.
Davis E. Decker has given good
proof of his fitness for the office
of Senator; he is man thor
oughly identified with the PEG
gle of this end of the state and
has the necessary backbone to
stay with them in their demands
for such legisla ton as is needed
tor their protection.
Judge Cough is the best man
in the district for representa-
tive. He has lived here for 20
years, is thoroughly familiar
with the needs of the plains peo-
pie and has the ability to pre-
sent and maintain them in the
face of all opposition, however
great it may be. Mr.. Ware,
who is now his strongest oppo-
nent, is a man of brilliant and
snowy attainments, one who
would shine any where; but he
is not made of the stuff to stand
against overwhelming odds, he
will go with the popular side
and the majority will be for
legislation unfavorable to the
cattle raising part of the state,
therefore a less brilliant but
more stable man would be the
best for us aud Judge Cough is
that man.
