chILDREN's HOME SOCIETY.
Some Things 1t Has Done During
the Past Year.

Rev. ID. p. Day, of Springfield, dis
trict superintendent of the Children's
Home Society Of Missouri, was in the
city the first of tho week Id the interest
OF that work. He gave short talk in
regard to the work at the Methodist
church last Sunday evening. Rev. Day
furnishes the following which tells of
some Oft things the society is doing:
The object of this non sectarian
organization is to find and secure legal
control Of children who are without
homes or are abused and neglected. If
the tree is inclined rs the twig is bent so
the man is the product Of his childhood
teaching; therefore it is right and a
boundon duty that we place these
homeless and helpless little ones into
the proper environments for the
Development Of right character. Think
Of child Without home or "a mothers
care and with no power to change or ar
range his condition, the saving Of child
will b the making OF a man. The past
year the Home" received 2l8 children
some from Co. Poor farms and some
from abiect poverty, and ranging in age
from infants to IL years. They are
nearly all placed. Ten were taken per.
sonally by the writer from Jasper Go.
Donations are needed. Mrs. A. NJ.
Crandall would be glad to receive any
donation that could be sent to the home.
Give canned goods or clothes or money,
all are needed.
This" Home" is controlled by a Board
OF Directors consisting of 10 members
chosen from different denominat ions.
The President Of the Board is John ID.

Christmas Tree Firex.

People cannot be too careful in
guarding against fire when trimming
Christmas tree. There have been
scores of Christmas tree fatalities in
homes and in Sunday schools which
a little care might have prevented
The present writer once set a tree
in a blaze, consuming nearly half of
it, tinsel ornaments going with the
green branches. A tiny candle had
been wired too high, and it took only
a few minutes of it's brisk heat to
char a branch above it, and start
flame, says Good Housekeeping. A
thick portiere was torn from it's
pole and thrown over the blaze. 1t
il had not been at hand the light
window curtains in another minute
would have caught fire. Since that
Christmas our tree has always been
placed in the center of the room, and
we have eschewed cotton wool, tissue
paper angels, and celluloid orna-
ments. First of all, we wire each
candle securely in place at the
furthest end of a branch which has
nothing above it, either firtree or
trimming. Then as the tree is denud-
ed we watch carefully the fast dis
appearing candles. Sometimes one
of them, nearly burned down, will
topple over or be merely spark of
fame, but near to something infam-

THE CHoIR-BoYS' CHRISTMAS
Delightful Concerts Som etimes Given
by Them in the Cathedral
Cities of Europe.

Dean Farrar, writing in the Culver
of ''The Great Social Festival says:
| know of more than one cathedral
little choir boys-often boys who
come from very humble homes-givc
a delightful concert, during which
they act with hearty fun some very
bright and humorous scenes. They
take a real interest in the special
music of the services and anthems
and carols of the season, and they
are invited to spend an evening of
genial amusement at the deanery
and in the houses of some of the
kindly canons. Here they enter JOY
cusly into all the time honored fes-
tivities. In the dim light of some
old vaulted room or corridor the
great bowl of the snapdragon sheds
it's blue lustre, while, with shrieks of
laughter, the boys snatch out the
burning raisins. Then they hunt for
the little presents in the large bran
pie, and carefully put them in corn
ers till. the games are over. when
they carry them home to their par
ents; or they have a fishing rod, and
each in turn throws the line over a
curtain behind which someone is con-
cealed, who fastens on the line an
appropriate gift for each boy in turn.
Then follows the Christmas supper,
with its flaming plum pudding, end
| less crackers, and unrestrained mirth.
The evening usually ends after sup
per with one or two carols. and
"Auld Lang Syne" sung in the most
correct and traditional fashion; after
which the boys go back to their
| homes in high glee, and with the
memory of an unusually pleasant
evening to make the sacred season
| more and more dear to them.

REED RULES DOOMED,
Cclgressmen Are Tired of Being
Bossed by the Speaker.
Col. Henderson's Successor Will he
Simply q Presiding Omcer and
Not the AutOcrat of
Congress.
Especial Washington letter.

[( a ND now, in accordance with
~ the constitutional duty de-
volved upon me, I declare
this house adjourned without day"
Exactly at noon on March 4, 1903,
those words will be pronounced by
Speaker Henderson, the heavy gavel
will resound and the Fifty-seventh
congress will come to close. Speak
er Henderson, who retires to private
life, will be the last presiding Off
Ger of the national house of repre-
sentatives who shall WELD imperial
powers over his colleagues.
The rules of the house of repre-
sentatives, which have been known as
the Reed rules, ever since they were
promulgated in December, 1899, have
given autocratic power to the speak
er. Time and again efforts have been
made to change those rules, but to
no purpose. The republicans have al
ways pointed with pride to the great
advance made in national legislation
while Reed was speaker; and both
parties have agreed that Reed was
right in declaring that "a visible
quorum" was the constitutional quo
rum which could proceed "to do
business
But a majority of the house of rep
resentatives has been in favor of
changing the rules, in some particu-
lars, for at least six years. Con-
gresham Hepburn, of Iowa, has
been the leader in the attack upon
the Reed rules, and he will continue
to be the leader in the fight. 1t is
we'll known that Col. Hepburn had
majority of the republicans in eau
Gus assembled, in December, 1899,
and he could have then forced i'm
portant changes in the rules, but he
forbore. His colleague and friend,
Col. Henderson, had just been select
ed for the speakership, and it would
have seemed exceedingly ungracious
in a member from his own state to
have insisted on curtailing his pow
ers before he was indicted into his
high office. If any other than Col.
Henderson had been selected for the
speakership in December, 1899, the
rules would have teen surely
changed.
There is great deal of specula ton
already concerning the speakership
of the next congress, but one thing
may as we'll be regarded as settled
and that is, no matter who secures
the prize of that exalted position, he
will be simply a presiding officer, as
the constitution intended him to be-
and not a ruler of representatives Sc
lected by sovereign constituencies
precisely as he was himself selected
The rules will be carefully amend
ed, the main point to be observed be.
Jig that each representative shall
really be a representative one
whose voice and vote shall command
attention and respect.
Speaker Reed was autocratic
Speaker Henderson has not been. Nc

more conservative speaker ever oc-
cupied the chair than Mr.. Crisp, of
Georgia, for he was not autocratic
There is no complaint concerning the
man who may have been, or who
may be, speaker of the house of rep
resentatives. Criticism exists con-
corning the rules rather than con-
corning the man who enforces them.
Tom Reed not only ruled the house,
but rudely ruled it, at times. But
his majority was slender, and he had
to be big boss, or no boss at all.
Whoever shall be chosen for the
Speakership when the new congress
-hall have convened on the first Mon
day OF. December, 1908, will in all
proba bility be allowed the power of
the appointment of the committees
and committee chairmen; and that
will be power enough for one man to
WELD Ger his fellow representatives.
