however, of vigorous young jackass
that was not down in the bill. So he
wired to the shipping agent

The answer came back:

comforted, were sleeping the care free
sleep of innocent childhood.

sat by the fireside, because there was
no bed left for them.
Tell me, good mother the boy
said, looking straight into her kind
eyes, why are you so good to all chill
dren? Your fame has gone abroad"
Baboushka did not answer him at
once. When she did her voice sound
ed as sweet and solemn as church
chimes at vesper time.
Eyes, will tell you, my son, for
you are nearing your own years of re-
sponsibility, and it will be well for

lesson that an opportunity oncelost is

MANY years ago | was setting my
house in order when three men
stopped at my door with a great piece
of news.

that the Christ Child must be come

find him and do him honor
But l sent them away with words
Of foolish Impotence. 'Seeest thou
not that l am setting my house in

more convenient time. can see its
light without thy help
80 they went their way and left
me to go mine. But when the time
came that / found it convenient to
follow the star clouds obscured the
heavens and there was no star to be
seen and so | knew not how to seek
the Christ Child.
Il have been seeking him ever since
up and down in the land. Whenever,
whenever | see little child | think
perhaps l have found the One | seek,
and my heart yearns over him. But
not yet have | found the Christ Child,
whose face must shine with the radi-
ance of the star | lost.
With tears of sorrow wetting her
eyelashes Baboushka fell asleep in
her chair. She had filled all of her
with cold and friendless children.
And as she slept tender hand
seemed to dry her tears and a loving
voice to whisper in her ears:
"Inasmuch as we have done it unto
tho least of these little ones we have
done it unto me. They were home
less, and ye took them in. They were
hungry, and you have fed them. They
were cold, and you have warmed
them. The Christ Child is in thy

peace in her sould, for she knew thai

MR.. j. j. HILL HERE.
Various Speculations as to the Cause
of His Visit.

Mr.. James j. Hill, the railway magnate,
who is leading spirit in the Northern Sc
curities merger, is in the city today. His
appearance was unheralded and he did not
even register at the Arlington, where, with
his private secretary, he is staying.
Mr.. Hill dined last evening with Sena-
tor Hanna at the latter's home in Lafayette
square. This forenoon he had a number of
callers. Among them Were Senator Gibson
of Montana, Senator Spooner of Wisconsin,
former Senator Carter of Montana and Mr.
George H. Maxwell of the national irriga-
ton congress.
A peculiar feature of Mr.. Hills presence
in Washington is his studious attempt TO
avoid newspaper men. His private secre-
tary assured each and every reporter who
called that the great railway man was
busy and that he had nothing to communi-
cate either on business or political topics.
None Of his friends in Congress- or who
live in Washington, could be induced to
discuss the purpose of Mr.. Hills visit other
than to say that ne is deeply interested i'm
irrigation legislation now pending in Con-
gress.
1t is generally understood that Mr. Hill is
concerned about the a me nded interstate COM
merce bill introduced in the House yester-
day by Representative Wanger of Pennsyl-
vania. Mr.. HILL ii is said. came to Wash
ington to assist in defeating the measure,
but of course, this is speculation.
Mr.. Hills position, as outlined by a friend,
is that, by the reduction of grades. the in
crease in the size of cars and locomotives
supplemented by arrangements that will in
sure loaded cars east and west bound
freight rates can be so reduced that goods
bound for the orient from points west of
Albany, can be advantageously transported
across the continent and placed in the
oriental markets on a fair basis for COM
petition with shipments from Europe by
way of the SueZ canal.
At the present time freight shipments
from points east of the Mississippi river,
shipped by the Suez canal to oriental points
are in the nature of things excluded from
the oriental markets. because the Ameri-
can shipment is burdened by freight tariff
to the shore and across the Atlantic in
excess of the European shipments.
Mr.. Hill, according to the person who
outlined this statement, is in Washington
in the interest of furthering the legislation
pertaining to irrigation. From another
source it was said that he came here to
further alleged effort his part TO pre-
vent the nomination for the presidency in
1904 of Mr.. Roosevelt
Whatever may be his purpose. certain il
is that his appearance in Washington at
this time has caused any amount Of specu-
lation among those who watch the trend of
national politics.
