FRIDAY, DECEMBER 1s, 1908.
CHRISTMAS.

The happiest holiday of the year is
Christmas. due largely to the fact
that it is recognized as belonging to
the children. which is entirely fitting,
for it is celebrated in honor of the
birth of the Master who said. Suffer
little children to come unto me-"
The exact date and even the year
of Christ's birth are unknown, but
December 25th has come to be uni
versally celebrated as the anniver-
sary of his birth.
The season is one of good cheer
and kind deeds, and if the Masters
influence on earth had been confined
to the kind deeds of Christmas time
done in His name He would still be
the greatest force for good in the
world.
It is the season of peace on earth,
good will toward men" and the time
may come when its influence will es-
tablish peace on earth in fact as well
as in sentiment.
AS rule it is the people who have
son the most. for pleasure is not
measured by possessions nor gifts
received, but by the spirit of con-
tentment with watch life's opportu-
mites, be they ever so f5w, are &C
cepted, and so the ragged urchin who
has a few pennies to spend upon
more genuine pleasure out of the
Christmas season than the favored
child who receives gifts by the score
They who accept and practice the
great truth taught by Christ that 1T
is more blessed to give than to re-
ceive" are the ones who really r"t
the most god out Of the holiday.
To give expensive presents to the
members of ones family or to those
from whom we expect favors is
selfish giving that can have but scant
reward, and only when useful gifts
are made to those who are in need
does the donor realize that it is more
blessed to give than to receive.
Christmas gifts signify friendship
rather than charity. and as life is
rich or barren according to oul
wealth or poverty in friends. The
little tokens of love and friendship
of Christmas time are important fac
tors in the happiness of mankind.
Christmas giving is not necessarily
for a kind act or even a cheer
full word may be more accepta
Bile than costly gift. and he who
makes smooth his neighbours patti
will find no obstacles in his way.

The prevailing wind is from the

Sans representatives and business
may be properly housed. The post
office, the land Office. weather observ-
er and customs officer will probably
have ample Office room in central
part of the city before another year
rolls around.
Congressman Dixon has introduced
a bill in congress to this end which
was referred to the committee on
public buildings and grounds and or
dered to be printed. The Importance
of the postal business here, a general
distributing point, and the land Office
transactions have placed Kalispell in
the lead of many larger cities in the
state which have public buildings.
Mr.. Dixon will make a special effort
to have Kalispell favored to this x.
tent for the reason that she alone of
the larger cities of Montana has re-
ceived no recognition by the state in
the line of public edifices. The crime
of being SO young is partly the cause
OF thus being ignored, also the iso-
lated position of the Flathead. But
now, with a population of nearly
10000, the capital of a county of 90.
900 people, and assessed property
valuation of nearly 100000 Kalis-
pell demands recognition and will get
it.

RELEASE OF A
 BAD MURDERER
MEXICAN WANTED IN PRESCOTT
 OUT OF JAIL.
Turned Loose at Aqua Prieta After Long Confinement - Crossed to Douglas, but Not Arrested.

The Mexican who has been detained in the jail at Agua Prieta so long. awaiting the extradition papers from the governor of Arizona, has been turned loose by the police. The man was in the Mexican dungeon for sey- enty-three days, and it is remarka. Die that he survived the confinement so well. Instead of losing weight he seemed to have gotten fat and came out good deal heavier than he went in. For some reason or other there has been long delay in getting the papers properly made out au1 the sheriff of Yavapai county telegraphed to Sheriff Lewis that he was doing his best to get the papers rushed through aS fast as possible.
 It is customary to get the papers made out in proper form and axchang- ed between the two countries in about ten days. The Comisario at Agua Prieta took the matter up with Cover. nor fsabal and asked his advice in the matter and the Sonora governor gave h's consent to turn the prisoner loose The Mexican officers gave the prison. CT notice to quit their jurisdiction and staV away, and he lost no time in do ing so.
 The man Ruiz, who was detained so ! long. is wanted for a foul murder com mitted in Prescott about a year ago and bears several bad scars on his face and has the look of a mean hombre.
Bisbee daily review., 1903-09-05

He came over to Douglas after he was released from the Sonora prison and was seen on the main streets here yesterday. If Sheriff Roberts wanted the man very bad he could easily in- struct the officers here to arrest and hold him and this would save much time and red tape in getting out ext1adition papers. - International American.

who, with Narcisso Lopez, were engaged
in the struggle for Cuban independence
in 1884.
In a statement before the operation, Mr..
Gonzales made 1t plain that he sought to
avoid a collision with Tillman, who was
walking with two senators, and he cut
across the pavement and passed by without
touching or speaking, and Tillman pulled
his pistol and fred.
Gonzales then said to Tillman: ,"Shoot
again, you coward!"
Tillman, after the shooting, walked out
into the middle Of the street, where he was
arrested and taken to the police station.
He was met there by several Of his friends,
but said nothing. The police took from him
the long range mazagine pistol, which con-
tanned one empty cartridge. A large Colts
revolver was also taken from him
Gonzales said he saw Tillman two days
before and Tillman saw him. AS to sending
any message to Tillman, he said he had not
done so. And he was positive Tillman shot
