Found Long Lost Boy.

A ten-year-old boy, who was lost
from his widowed mother during the
Galveston storm on the night of Sept.
s, 1900, was recently located on a
small farm just east of Dallas, and
taken home.
The boy, it is said, came to Dallas
looking for a home shortly after the
storm, having made an unsuccessful
attempt to locate his mother, and was
taken in by farmer and given a good
home.
The names of the parties in the case
could not be learned. The boy was
located about two weeks ago.-Dallas

CHRISTMAS AND ROYALTY.

Rome. Dec. 23.-Rome is already
donning gala attire for the fetes and
festivities with which the Christmas
holiday season is always observed in
the Italian capital. The recent ad-
vent of son and heir make this par
ticularly joyful Christmas for the
royal family According TO the old
lstom in the Court of Italy, Queen
Helena has been in person this week
to the leading shops of Rome and the
result is that several rooms of the
Quirinal are filled with the newest
toys and other Christmas gifts. Little
Prince Humbert is too young 10 APP
preciate toys as yet. but not so with
Princess Yolanda, his sister, who is
now in her fourth year and has a
great yearning for all the dolls and
other playtnings she sees. Princess
Matalda, one year younger. has a
weakness in the same direction, so
that it goes without saying that il
will take big Christmas tree TO hold
the presents for the royal babies
Presents for the little ones are begin
ming TO pour in from all parts of the
kingdom. As might be supposed there
are more than enough TO satisfy the
desires of the little princesses and
their baby brother, and the surplus
will be distributed in their name
amcng the various children's hospitals
of the capital.

day Many persons will take adyan-
tage of the three days vacation TO
