VIEWS AT VARIANCE
At the conferences his friends tmptored
him not to take the action. but to no
avail. He said he had made up his mind
and no argument could cause him to
change his decision. When asked for his
reasons for his withdrawal Speaker Hen
derson said:
MY letter to Chairman Abrook is the
whole thing In nutshell. You cannot kill
the trusts by applying free trade without
killing our own Industries. The foreign
trusts are lighting the American trusts
and / don't believe that for the purpose
OF controlling American trusts we should
make a market for foreign trusts, there
by crushing out the Industries OF this
country.
After my conference last Saturday at
Waterloo, hearing the views OF the
chairman OF my district, l concluded that
my views on the tariff question were at
variance with those OF many OF my party
and ! did not desire TO appear In false
position"
Speaker Henderson gave out an address
which states his views on the tariff and
trust questions, and because these views
I'm his opinion, are not In accord with the
state platform and with the opinions OF
prominent members OF his party he de-
cllnes 10 accept the nomination.
The address Is to "The Republican
Voters OF the Third Iowa District and

A CHRISTMAS GREETING.

A song for old Christmas,
For jolly old Christmas,
The monarch of merriment, fun
and good cheer!
Let all the bells Ginning
Ring out with rhyming
For Christmas, good Christmas, King
Christmas is here:
Christmas is here!
Pile up the log fire
Still higher and higher;
He loves the bright blaze of wide
open hearth.
No shadow of sadness
Must darken our gladness,
For Christmas, blithe Christmas, now
rules the broad earth.
The stars are all Winking
AS if they were drinking
Time out of ethereal champagne that
he brings.
The winds shout in chorus:
Long maHs he reign DER us!l
Good Christmas ing Christmas, the
greatest st :kings!"
Ger snow piles, high drifted,
His throne is uplifted!
His mantle is pinned by the North
Polar star,
And down the dim ages
Saints, sinners and sages
Cry, "Hail to King Christmas, who
rules near and fart"
His brows wreathed with holly,
Fat. rosy and jolly,
He sways the proud scepter no mon
arch can boast
Ger realms that are boundless
And depths that are soundless,
For he, mighty Christmas, alone rules
the roast!
Then plump be the purses
OF all whom these verses
May reach, with their tidings of jolly
good cheer.
Their presents be many,
Their fun best of any,
For Christmas comes once-only once
in a year.

I found the town in a state of excite

in Ridgewood.
There had been four burglaries at
the Payne mansion. The first night
silver was taken-small pieces con-
sisting of spoons, forks. after dinner
coffees and knives.
The second night a small rocking
chair disappeared and several velvet
covered footstools and nice little arti-
cles Of brio -brac designed for Christi
mas gifts. The third night all the chill
drens Christmas toys that had been
carefully stored away in a Santa Claus
cupboard by Colonel Payne and his
wife, ready for Christmas eve, disap-
peared, and the fourth night the cellar
ways pillaged of it's wine and fruits.
Looks as if it was somebody inside
the house." said the colonel after we
had been over the ground pretty we'll.
MOT exactly" said I, i" or why would
they take rocking chair?'
The party that accompanied me
through the house consisted of the
colonel and his wife. the oldest daugh-
ter girl Of fifteen, and the cOlOnel's
private secretary, William Winter.
This is the window they got in at
the first night said Winter, pointing
to Il bay window on the ground floor
leading out of the dining room. "Ano
this is the one they got in at the other
nights" pointing to another big VIM
dow that was in the staircase hall

paths to the Payne residence.
We got into the triangular lawn by
rear patch and stole softly up to the
house. There was the dining room
brilliantly lighted and in the middle
stood tree all bare and waiting for
gifts, just as r told the colonel to ar
range it.
There was no one in the room, and
after I had pried up the sash we stole
in together. There was only just time
to drop our packages on the floor at
the foot of the tree and to rush away
again before the coloneps daughter
came in.
"Oh, papa" she cried, here are
some presents for U.S.
But l heard no more just then, for I
was busy helping poor Winter get
away. An hour later 1 rang the colo
nel's front door bell. He opened the
door himself.

You see it was this way" said the
colonel. I'VE were greatly alarmed the
first night when the silver was taken,
and we set a watch over the things.
From that night to the present this
house has been steadily guarded from
the inside every night, from dark until
daylight. And yet have had three
robberies during that time. 1t is the
