In tropic chimes all summerwise q.

STOPPING to warm him DER the blaze.
And since that night I've knelt me down
And prayed upon my Christmas days.
Shivered the little one and crept
Guiding beside noe wich.a cry.
I wrapt him warmly till he slept

The wind bowied through the leaden

Out Of the dark the wolf yelp rang.
But In my dream q star shone bright.
And DER manger angels sang,
Sunless the dawn slid into day:

And. 10. the smiling baby lay
Beneath my furs-on Christmas morn.
Oh. blessed heaven. pity those
Whose Saviour IS a king to dread;
pity them, as one who knows
The Christ that shared a trapper's bed.
To east and west and southwark far
In wildering rays my paths have lain;
My life hath known no holy star.
No church1y guide, no sacred fame;
But. under bright or barren skies.
On Christmas eve tell my tale.

With dawn on an Alaskan trail.

A BANQUET FOR BILLS.
All Sorts of Bills VIII Assemble n
Excelsior Syringe, No.

All Sorts of Bills VIII Assemble n
Excelsior Springs, No.
The city directory Of Excelsior
Springs, NO., shows that forty-nine of
the leadings citizens of that thriving
town were christened William, says
the Kansas City Star. Each Of these
forty-nine. naturally enough. is known
as Bill. Not very long ago one OF the
Bills. Bill Thompson. formerly mayor
Of Excelsior Springs, conceived the
idea of organizing a Bill club. The
plan met with the favor Of the other
Bills. and the club was formed after
the manner OF all clubs. In the con-
stitution and bylaws there were many
rules and regulations, but none moro
stringent than that first, which stated
that no applicant for membership
would be eligible unless he was ent1-
tied to be called Bill.
So successful have been the Bills
that they have decided to give a ban
Quet at the Newton hotel on the night
Of Dec. 8. There will be many invited
guests, but none who is not q Bill.
Bill Bryan. Bill Walker. Bill Stone
and BILL Fowler are among the Bills
who VIII be asked 70 attend and to
speak.
The Bill club" said a member the
other morning, has but one object
Publication OF Bills. II is a very ex-
cellent organization. Our banquet will
be one OF the most entertaining ever
given in Excelsior Springs. In attend
ance will be big Bills. small Bills. short
Bflls, tall Bills and. in fact. all sort Of
Bills. .s--- =.

CUBA'S PROGRESS.

American Visitors Account of Re-
forms In tho Island.
After a three months stay in Cuba
last summer I found much in the is
land republic that was attractive and
worthy Of praise" said Charles A. Ran
dolph to Washington Post reporter.
III there exists In the minds Of the
Cubans any latent hostility toward
Americans I saw no evidences of it.
On the contrary, 1 was the recipient
everywhere of unqualified hospitality,
and on the score of politeness the Gu
bans have no superiors. Politically
the country Is doing well. all things
considered, and the cash balance Of S.
OOO, 900 in the national treasury speaks
well for the management of the public
finances. One thing about Cuba is de-
serving Of the greatest praise, and that
Is the attention that is being given to
the construction Of good roads. They
are building them all over the island.
1 was the companion of an Englishman
over a stretch of highway that for
distance Of sixty-five miles was sim
ply perfect. / never saw in the United
States n road of the same length to
compare with it, and the Englishman
said 1T was as good as anything in
Great Britain, where the country roads
have been for generations held up as a
model.
Another thing worthy Of mention is
that the cleanliness taught by the
Americans is being perpetuated under
the republic. Havana is a beautifully
clean city, far and away freer of dirt
than most OF our own large towns.
Since coming back 1 have seen in some
New York papers articles that tend to
show the likelihood Of n yellow fever
epidemic in Cuba. In my opinion this
is an uncalied for effort to work up a
scare. The danger is almost wholly
imaginary, and it was a wrong thing to
give II such publicity. - --i4i'--'',
Cuba. L may say finally. is rich in
resources, but 1t is no country to which
Americans of limited means should
think Of going. The chances Of money
making down there are confined to
those who have large capital. Opera
lions only on big scale are feasible,
and Iwouid not advise anybody to mi
crate there. There Is one good open
ing, and a magnificent one. in Havana,
and that is the construction and Op-
GRAFTON Of a modern hotel after the
fashion of the kind in this country"

Induced Hin TO Breathe ana Then
walk - saved Hin From Iaioey
After Doctors Gave Him Up.
Substituting for the fruitless skill Of
specialists the subtle influence of sug-
gestion and experimenting that with
earnest prayer through many months.
Mrs Marion Foster Washburn Of Elk.
hart, Ind. was recently informed by
medical men that she had saved her
little boy. whom many Of the best ply
sicians in Indiana long ago gave up Al
incurable, says the New York Press.
1t was admitted by doctors who exam
ined the patient that his mother had
recalled him from the progressive de-
generation Of mind and body in which
he slowly but steadily was losing his
hold on life and that, thanks to her
tireless nursing, he had as good a
chance Of becoming a fine man as any
other lad in town. The boy, who is
SIX years old, several years ago fell
downstairs and injured his skull at the
base Of the brain. Surgeons said an
operation would kill him, and physi-
clans after repeated treatments prophe-
sled a gradual sinking into imbecility,
followed by an early death.
Mrs. Washburn is q physicians wife
and has been president of the State
Federation of Women's Clubs. She
prayed not for the child's cure, but
that she might be led to discover the
proper treatment At last she seemed
guided to the theory that suggestion
would cure him. His left side was
paralyzed, and he could walk only a
few steps without falling. 1t was all
the little chap could do to eat or talk.
He had frequent hemorrhages, which
led the medical men to think a brain
clot was pressing on the penumogastric
nerve. Moreover. his breathing was
bad and his sleep worse. After whole
day spent in explaining to her son
what she intended to do to cure him
Mrs. Washburn that night began BY
lying beside him on bed when he
was ready for slumber and whispering
into his ear. i 80 81
8 Now you feel better" she said to
him softly. Now my little boy is rest
ing easily. No. no. don't breathe that
way: breathe this way" and her warm
hands nodded the little chest in it's in

Of air expanded the only partly used
lungs Of the child. and calmly. peace
fully he sank to sleep, lulled by her
grooming tones. Night after night that
was repeated. Day after day similar
suggestions were murmured by the
tender mother voice. "Now the old side
IS better" she said. Don't walk SO
quickly; walk this way. slowly" And
after long weeks, in which Mrs. Wash
burns suspense almost wore her to n
shadow, signs of improvement were
noticed
Today the youngster is rs well as II
he never had hurt his head, and the
medical profession stands In awe be-
fore the modern miracle worked. by
