CHAPLAIN BERNARD KELLY, =. S. A.
RETIRED)
Omaha Dean Fair was very active ir works
Of charity, taking a leading part in all
concerted moves and doing very much on
his own initiative. His health was poor
for many years, the result Of terrible in
juries sustained in a railroad accident when
he was yet quite a young man, but he la
bored as long as he had strength left. He
was 81 years Of age.
An interesting character VINO has left a
lasting impression upon the religious and
political life of the west in the last twenty
five years is Chaplain Bernard Kelly, who
after a service of a little more than five
years as chaplain in the United States
army, with rank of captain, has been re-
tired on account of the age limit. Chap
lain Kelly was assigned to the Tenth in
fantry in 1901, and with that command went
from Fort Crook to the Philippines. He was
granted leave of absence a few months ago
and returned to Kansas, where he now re,
sides, at Topeka, where he will in future
make his home. The appointment Mr..
Kelly received in 1897 was not the first
commission which he had hold from the
United States. During the civil war, be-

fore he had entered the ministry, he made
an enviable record as an officer in the
One Hundred and Third Illinois infantry.
He entered that regiment as a first lieu
tenant October 2, 1862, and the following
May was commissioned as captain, which
position he held when the regiment was
mustered out in October, 1864. After the
civil war he entered the ministry and re-
moved to Kansas a few years later. He
soon took rank as one of the most able and
untiring ministers of the Methodist church
in that state. His efforts were not always
devoted to ministerial work, he being one
of the ministers who believe in working
at the polls for the reforms which are de-
manded from the pulpit. In a short time he
became a political factor in the state and
many a republican politician had his hopes
blasted or inspired by a word from his
lips. AS a church worker, as well as a
politician, he is a master of organization
and devoted his talents to Strengthening
the church in the state, so that it will ever
show the result of his work. Mr.. Kelly
is a native of Virginia, and was appointed
to the regular army from Kansas.

Q
Christmas is essentially a children's day.
Grown-ups have a part in It, to be sure,
both in it's religious and its secular func-
tions, but 1t celebrates the birth Of a Child
and to children it is peculiarly sacred. It's
songs are to a Babe and Its mother, and it's
sentiments are those that Babe taught and
exempliied in His after life among men.
It's memories are the most cherished of
childhood recOllections, and it's spirit Is
intimately linked with the little folks. All
its lessons are to the exaltation of child
hood and motherhood, for "Whosoever
shall not receive the kingdom Of God like
a little child shall in nowise enter therein"
Homilies may be written and sermons
spoken on the topic, and the mind Of man
may be led to the contemplation of that
divine tragedy whose opening scene is laid
in a stable at Bethlehem, but on Christmas
day the thought Of the dourest or most
sage will bark back along the track Of
memory to the days before the grasshop-
per became burdensome. And It is well
that it is so. 1t is good to have one day
in all the year when the busy man and tn
tired woman can turn aside from the
sordid cares of every day life, and becomn
again as a little child. So, "Merry
Christmas to all"

To a Christmas Debutante

Not like the buds Of spring you flower,
Nor like June's radiant roses:
But time in winters frosty hour
Your beauteous self discloses.
Good Father Time was kind, my dear,
And doubtless had his reason
To MAKE your coming out this year
And in this Christmas season.
Aw,
Perhaps he thought Saint Nick would do
Too little for our pleasure;
SO for himself he added you
To make the fullest measure.
Perhaps with you he left the task,
Believing it was in you
To choose, from those of us who ask.
The right man who may win you.
If this be so, and you're in doubt
Just who will stand inspection,
I'll be most glad to help you out
In making your selection.
l know the very man! Yet
May not reveal the same, dear.
So stubborn is my modesty,
You'll have to guess his name, dear.

Carleton A. Pierce, who recently died in
Omaha, was a man well known to this
travelling public, owing to his long service
in connection with the Union Pacific. He
came to the Overland from the Erie i'm 1872,
beginning as an engineer, and serving in
that capacity for a number OF years. He
was always noted as a careful and sue
cessful runner. and for this reason was
selected to pull" the famous Jewett G.
Palmer special in its flight across the con-
tinent against time. He made a record even
at that early day of which the company is
still proud. After serving for a long time
as engineer, Mr.. Pierce entered the train
service as conductor, and for many years
had charge of one of the great transconti-
mental trains out of Omaha. In this way he
became known to many thousands of pa
irons of the road. He was a thrifty and
studious man and accumulated a handsome
competence, so that his last few years of

There are now three former secretaries
Of war in the United States senate-Mr.
Proctor of Vermont, who served from
March, 1889, to November, 1891; Mr.. Elkins
of West Virginia, who succeeded Mr.. Proc
tor and served till the close of the Harri-
son administration, and Mr.. Alger of Michi-
gan. General Alger is modest in his move
ments about the senate. Most of the time
he keeps at his desk. He dresses in dark
clothes and looks as trig and neat as a new
boy in school. He seems to find it more
pleasant listening to the proceedings than
in joining the cloakroom groups in front of
the glowing CRATES.
Judge Morrow, Of the federal bench on
the Pacific coast, tells this story: "A
consulship vacancy occurred in one of the
group of islands of the South Pacific. l
commended a friend for the vacancy; he
was appointed, and, as it was Imperative
he should reach his post at the earliest
possible day, he sailed from San Francisco
with the understanding that his commission
should follow him, and that he should take
the oath Of Office before a local magistrate
after he had arrived. Well, the new consul
sailed, and it was six months before the
State department heard from him. He re-
ported there was no local magistrate, and
inquired Of the secretary If he could not
take the necessary oath before the king.
The s~ecrtary wrote him in the affirmative,
and it was several months later when
another letter came, this time by sailing
ship, after going around the world. 1t con-
tanned the graphic information that the
aforesaid king had in the meantime gone
to an adjoining island and taken to the
brush. Should the consul follow him
Again he was given an affirmative answer
The archives of the State department will
show that he eventually located this South
y Sea island king in the brush, was sworn in
and, after the lapse Of nearly two year
, from the date of his appointment, was fully
Qualified to enter upon his eonsulship."
