CHARGES Sustained

Patrolman James Riley, has been
retired from the force by the Police
Commission. Riley was charged by
the managers Of the Delaware Indus
trial School, for Girls with conduct
unbecoming an officer.
The testimony was conclusive and
he was requested to hand IN his
Star and club. William p. Maxwell.
OF No. 2l5 Redmond street. Rep.
ublican, was elected a patrolman to
I'll the vacancy created by Pato.mau
Riley's retirement.
An effort had been made to mix up
the name OF Patrolman Rufus A.
Hancock, but there was nothing but
spite in that determination for 4 man
to besmirch the character OF a first
class officer.
Consequently the missoners
discussed the charge against Han.
cock, as they were satisfied that he
was IN no way connected with the
case.

would Pay National Debt.

Pedro Aivardo, of Parral, Mex,
said to be worth $4,000, 900, has of
fered his entire fortune to the gov
eminent of the republic, the money
to be used in liquidating :: part of the
national debt, which now amounts to
about four. times the sum named.
Senior Alvardo explains that his
wealth came. from mines, titles to
which were given him by the govern
ment, and he can well afford to graft
fly his desire. The government has
declined his offer.

Sidney Bruce stood there, staring in
| amazement.
Aunt Cynthial" he gasped.
| Miss Cynthia turned, and all the
hardness of years melted from her
heart. my own boy!" she murmured,
| laying her hand on his arm, and gazing
! into his face as if she could not gaze
| enough.
"What does it mean?" the poor fell
| low said, as he noticed the children run
| forward and cling to her skirts.
She told him all, and he listened Won
deringly until she finished, when he
| drew each small figure to his breast
and kissed them, with tears in his
eyes.
LET me go now to Edith. while you
get the children ready, and then we
shall go home. Don't refuse me, Sid
ney; I know I don't deserve your for
giveness. but I'm getting old and I
need you all-every one" Miss Cynthia
pleaded, TREMENDOUSLY.
Sidney pointed to the door of Edith's
room, and Miss Cynthia entered. What
the two women said will never be
known, but an hour later a carriage
drove up and the Bruce family entered
and were driven home.
Miss Cynthia never did things by
halves, and that Christmas was one Of
joy, not only to her own family, but to
many others. for happiness opened the
way to all her treasures, and Miss
Cynthia opened her heart and hand
and gave lavishly to the poor.
The children found that Santa Claus
knew the way to Aunt Cynthia's, and
that was sufficient for them. They did
not think, as their elders did, of the
words, ga little child shall lead them"
Ohio Farmer.
Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1902-12-19

"I1l tell you something" she said.
softly; s'to-morrow's Christmas
Miss Cynthia's smile was so loving,
her best friend would scarcely have
recognized her.
'sIs it, dear; viii Santa Claus go to
your house" she asked, gently.
Not this year. Father says he can't
come every year to our house. cause
we mustn't be selfish. Some little chill
dren never had a Santa Claus come"
said the boy, his eyes shining with
sympathy for the Santa Clausless chill
dren he spoke of.
A great resolve was forming IN Miss
Cynthia's heart. She would take these
children to their home, and then send
them such Christmas as they would
never forget. She could not do it for
Sidney's children, but here were two
little waits who could take their place.
Hastily she donned her hat and seal
skin coat, and taking a hand of each
wondering child, went out into the
night.
Now, children. take me to your
home. and when have explained your
absence to your Mary, I'll bunt up San
ia Claus and send him around to your
house." she said, as they went down
the steps.
The boy pulled her along the snowy
street, talking so rapidly all the time
of what he wanted Santa Claus to
bring that Miss Cynthia did not notice
