FOR THE POOR
The Christmas tree for the poor OF
the city to be given by Rev. Mr.
Chiles Of Rescue Mission and The Sun
al the Rescue Mission the night after
Christmas promises to be a great
affair. The donations received have
been very generous and Mr.. ana Mrs.
Ohiles have worked hard in the pre-.
parations. Besides giving a tree for
all the poor of the city they have filled
about 100 baskets, which they will
send to the homes of poor families.
These baskets have been filled with
groceries and clothing and will go to
make Christmas for every recipient.
The work done by these noble peo-
pie, Rev. and Mrs. Chiles, is deserv-
ins Of the greatest measure of praise,
and it is gratifying to see that the
people Of the city are so ready to help
them in their administering to the
needs Of the unfortunates of the city.
The Christmas tree will be given
Friday night, and from present indi-
cations about $50 people will find that
old Santa Claus has remsm bered them
with something on this tree.
The Sun would again suggest to
those who have not yet contributed to
the tree, and there are Just lots of peo-
pie who have not done sc-some have
forgotten about it, others have never
thought of it at all. and others have
neglected it for various reasons. Now
Of these people The Sun asks that they
do not put off their contribution any
longer. There remain two days yet in
which to send in anything, and if you
are one Of those who have not done so
do it at once. Send it either to the
Rescue Mission or The Sun and it will
be greatly appreciated.

THINKS MEXICO Is WRONG
BRYAN DECLARES PROPOSED
CHANGE TO GOLD BASIS
Is A MISTAKE.

San Antonio, Tex, Dec. 2i--will.
lam J. Bryan, accompanied by bis
family, spent yesterday in San An
tonic and left over the international
and Great Northern railroad ON hol-
iday trip to the City of Mexico, where
they will remain probably thirty days.
Mr.. Bryan declined to talk about pol.
tics, but regarding the mooted change
in financial basis by Mexico he
thought the adoption of the gold
standard would retard the progress Of
the country. The recent inconven-
fence in the exchange market, he said,
was felt only by the import ers. which
consisted only about 8 per cent OF the
business.
Mr. Bryan states that the only pur-
pose Of his trip to Mexico ia holiday
recreation with his family.

He Has Been in the Illinois Reform
School, Although Only 8.
He Is Wanted in Mayfield for House.
breathing and Here for Grand
Larceny.
TRIP TO CHICAGO IN BOX OAR

Ernest Allen, a colored boy who
claims to be eight years old, but who
is older in crime, IL not in other ways,
was a guest of the police today on =
charge of grand larceny. Tie lives on
Ninth street in the city, and a year or
two ago ran away from home and was
sealed up in an Illinois freight car.
He was taken to Chicago, an unwill.
ing prisoner, and when pulled out half
starved, was taken to police headquar.
tiers there and sent to the Illinois re-
form school.
He was arrested yesterday for steal
ing a bicycle from Thomas Wall, col
ored. and selling it in Pope county. Ill.
In October he rented the bicycle from
Wall, and taking it to Illinois sold It,
II was some time before the owner
found it, and he will now have TO 20
to law to recover 1t.
The boys mother was in the police
court this morning when the case
against him was called and blurted out
that her boy had never been in the re.
form school. She was invited around
in front of the Judge. and informed
that when the court wanted any infor-
nation from her, it would call on her,
and that it looked very much as II she
wanted the boy freed simply to have
him steal for her. The boy fatty con-
trsdicted her by again declaring that
he had been in the illinois reform
school.
This morning the officers received a
letter saying that the boy Is wanted
in Msyfield for housebreaking. Judge
Sanders instructed the officers TO hold
MIN, and an effort will be made to as
certain if he is wanted in Chicago for
running away from the reform school.
and if not the officers will try to get
him into the reform school of this
state.
Judge Sanders said that one thing
was certain the boy could not run at
large to do more stealing. He is very
small, and seems to be indifferent to
where he spends his time
Judge Sanders stated in commenting
on the case that he received a tele-
phone message last night from a lady
who had read about the boy IN the pa
per, and thought it awful that one so
young should be in prison. He said
she evidently didn't know much about
the boy.
The boys mother after court GREAT
ed quite a scene at the city hall, refus.
ing to let the youngster CO. She chung
to HIM and the combined efforts of
Moore and Officer Joe Wood
were required to take from her and
lock him up. She was then taken to
the court room where she screamed and
yelled until the officers were tempted
to lock her up for disturbing the peace
and resisting an officer.
