sharp blue eyes roved over the famli-
far room, q strange feeling OF desoia-
ton stole over her. In vain she re.
minded herself of hard facts that had
heretofore given her satisfaction; she
was the richest woman in Daiesourg'
her house was the largest and most
imposing, her clothes the finest ana
most fashionable and yet
She got up impatiently and, going
over to the window, pressed her face
against the pane and looked out into
the December dusk. Muffied figures
FASTENED past, carrying bundles OF all
shapes and sizes, for it was Christmas
eve: the sight sent queer little thrills
over Miss Cynthia and great load
seemed to settle on her heart. She
had no one to buy gifts for, she told
herself, and no one cared enough for
the lonely old spinster to even give her
good wishes.
It had not always been thus. She
recalled the many, many happy De-
cembers she had enjoyed when Sid
new Bruce, her nephew and only living
relative, had lived in her house. She
had taken him to live with her when
he was a small boy, and her love for
him had grown into mild idolatry
by the time he had become u man.
Sidney returned her affection with all
the strength of his loving heart un.
til he wanted to marry Edith Blake.
Miss Cynthia had other plans for Sid
uey. and refused to even discuss Edith
with him, but Sidney was very much
I'm love and cared not farthing that
Edith was poor and a sort of upper
servant in his aunt's house. Edith was
a peace-loving girl who found the sit
uation almost more than she could
bear. for Miss Cynthia had taken her
when an orphan, six years before, and
had been like q mother to her ever
since. Edith loved Miss Cynthia dear
". but loved Sidney more, and ono
December day she went away with
him and was married.
Miss Cynthia did not rave or storm;
she simply ignored the existence of
the youthful pair, and Sidney, reared
in luxury, had to 60 to work ut any
thing he could find to do. He had
never even tried to support himself
and now he had Edith to love and cher
ish-and support in addition.
Miss Cynthia changed into a cold.
hard woman. and was filled with bit
terness when her oldest friends OPEN
Az sided with Sidney and Edith. The
latter took a small house, not great
distance from Miss Cynthia's, and
were happy but very poor. Sidney

And yet once more we tell It; all eagerly
We hear.

Still never once too often Is the blessed

And never once too often do we talk OF that
strange night

Unframed beside the cattle. watched by

While heavenly hosts were singing the

Wherever hearts grow weary. wherever

Whatever be our anguish. whatever woe

Yet once again hearts hunger to have the

Tell the dear little children about that
wondrous night
When watching shepherds witnessed the

THE BILIOUS PHILOSOPHER.
The Christmas Present of His
Thoughtful Little hoy Drives the
scOwl from His Careworn,
Troubled Face.


Tho bilious philosopher scowled
over his manuscript.
''Oh, da-a-ad!"
"Didn't l tell you not to interrupt
me again? Gr-r-r-r!"
Fear crept into the six-year-old's
face, also shy, misunderstanding
sympathy. The face smote the ia
ther; conscience tickled him, and he
said, less gruffly:
"What do you want, boy?"
dad, will you please give me five
cents to buy "a"
'Give you five cents, blank you!
Where do you suppose it's coming
from? I'm badgered almost out of
my wits with one demand and an
other. Haven't any money. Didn't
give you a nickel last week?"
ayes, dad, but 1 want to buy a"
-"Of course you do" the father
roared; "you want to buy lots of
things, you little nuisance; so do I.
Put on your coat and get out of the
housed"
An hour later the boy returned.
The father was still at work writing
wise, deep truths for the good of the
world and the health of his withered
pocket. The boy Uttered the floor
with playthings, squatted on curled
legs, and lost himself in his own
world. For n time the boy babbled
to Gems. Pickle and Blue and Greeny
until the three warriors were blown
all to smithereens by cannons. Then
he grew suspiciously quiet. Present.
ly he said again:
"Daddie!"
"Shut up! I told you I'd crack
your head if you talked"
"Yes, but 1 just want to give you
this present. Please look at it,
daddie."
"All right, boy; I'll look at it after
while"
The philosopher bent again to his
work, and the boy to his world on the
floor. Another hour passed. The
philosopher halted for tagging inspir'
alton. Then he saw the present, and,
mechanically, with half his thought
prowling deep down at the roots of
truths that the world was yearning
for, he picked up the present. He I'M
rolled lot of stiff brown paper, then
some newspaper, then some tissue
paper. Around the corner of the bed
the boy was watching him like lynx.
Under the tissue paper the philoso-
pher beheld a cylinder-shaped card
board hairpin box.
"Look inside. daddie! Look inside!
knew you didn't have any money,
and that's my Christmas present for
you"
The scowl, with its ragged ends,
fitted altogether out of the fathers
face as he examined further. Stuffed
into the cylinder there was, first, a
bunch of stout Irvine; second, a bit OF
crumpled pink silk third, a piece of
orange-colored string.
THANK you, boy!"
"Oh, daddie," cried the boy, his face
afire with excitement, ''look more!
look morc!"
The philosopher did so.
''Shake it, daddie!"
The philosopher shook 1t and heard
rattle of metal. He reversed the
cylinder. Out rolled Is cents, the
boys savings.
My Christmas present to you.
daddie. Thatll buy you q pair of
mitts, won't it?"
without a word the philosopher
bent again to his work. His hand
trembled; he couldn't see what he
was writing.
"Come here, boy!"
The boy came onto his fathers
knee and looked into his face. The
bilious philosophers arms went
round him.-Milwauke Sentinel.

NOW IND THEN

1t IS not at all surprising that the Re
publican local politicians should be much
disturbed over the exposure which the
Pioneer Press has made of the falsehood
OF the claims of its own party managers.
There is the ampIest reason for disgust
and denunciation on the part of the local
Republican statesmen. Yet The Globe
regrets that the exposure has come SO
early and that it has come from such a
source. We were hopeful that under Nc
Cardy's tutelage the spouters, scribblers
and politicians Of the local G. o. P. wouls
60 ahead along THAT line. 1t is a pity
that they were disturbed.
1t is not the first time by any means
that the Pioneer Press has discharged a
like useful function. AS far back as IS92
it exposed the extravagant, false and fool
ish claims that were then put forward by
these same persons for exactly the same
purpose. At that time Robert A. Smith
was also candidate for reelection. His
opponent was f. P. Wright. The same
howl was raised about the increase in the
debt that has just been raised about the
increase in taxes. 1t was just as foolish
and just as shamefully false as the cry
which the Pioneer Press is just now try
ing to drown, with good hope Of sue
cess. And our contemporary manfulIy
came to the front and said it was swash
and bosh then, just as it comes forward
and says that the cry about increased
taxation is swash and bosh now.
The Republican politicians and platform
builders of that day started the campaign
by gleefuly claiming that the city debt
had then reached the proportions Of $1o,-
1855. But the Pioneer Press came for
ward and pointed out that the claim was
untenable and that the debt was really
$S,o35,50o, trifing difference Of 2,75o, $50
And even this amount, it pointed out, was
created during period when st. Paul had
built UP "a magnificent system Of public
improvements which have transformed if
from village to one of the handsomest
and cleanest cities in the Union" Ana
when the politicians of its party pointed
to a fictitious increase in the debt in .
few years, our contemporary came to the
front and showed that the increase. was
really about half Of that claimed, adding:
"And large part of this can be account
ed for by the necessity imposed by the
Bell charter. of taking up the certificates
which ought to have been included in
former debt statements
Now that our contemporary nnds it nee

THEY FEAR HIM.

Ohio Republicans are planning to SO
gerrymander the state that there will be
no possibility Of John T. Lentz being
elected to congress. Mr.. Lentz was de-
feated by only eighteen votes at the last
election. after a campaign in which the
entire influence and Doodle of the Repub
lican national committee was employed
against him.
Mr.. Lentz had been in congress for sew
eral terms and had established reputa-
tior for fearlessness that made him an
important factor. He went after the
corrupt Republicans with an ardor and
vigor that made them hunt their holes in
terror. He spared neither friend nor foe
in his performance of duty, and his
speeches in denunciation of Republican
partisan policies were masterpieces In
forceful English.
So strong had Mr.. Lentz become that
the national Republican committee took
alarm and massed it's resources in cor
ruption and bribery to accomplish his
defeat. AS stated above, he was defeated
by only eighteen votes, and there is
grave reason to doubt that he was actu-
ally defeated on an honest count Of the
votes actually cast. Recognizing the fu-
tility of making a contest before con
gress, which is Overwhelmingly Repub-
lican, Mr.. Lentz was content to bide his
time. He viii no doubt be reelected This
faH If the proposed gerrymander is not
carried out However, there is no reason
to believe it will not be carried out. Con
temptible and small as such methods. are
they VIII be employed by the Ohio Re-
publican legislature at the bidding Of
Hanna and Foraker, and Mr.. Lentz will
be put in a district reliably Republican.
This Ohio instance is but one of many
illustrations of the desperate straits to
which the Republicans are driven. They
realize that the fight of their party his
tory is before them if they would retain
control of congress this fall. To make
sure of such control they are willing to
stoop to such methods as those employed
to keep Mr.. Lentz out of congressman
any other that may give promise of sue
cess.
