They can't blame me about it though;

Last year we had a Christmas tree, and
gee, but it "a fine!
1t fairly bent with all the gifts-the
most of them was mine
And all day long they hung up there,

Cause ma said Santa had to come and

1t seemed as though l couldn't wait
for dark to eve come,
So l could have my horn and books
and candy cane and drum,
And all the little boxes that were tied
with fancy strings,
But pa and ma both. said hat all the
toys and otter things
Would fade ava if clum up and
pulled them from the tree
At last, when it had seemed a week,
they had to light the light,
And l was glad and filled with pie and
things, and it was night,
And me and ma we're all alone-pa'd
went away somewhere
And every noise l heard I'd think that
Santa Claus was there,
So then, first thing l knew, he cough
ed and stood beside the tree,
With snow-white fur and whiskers like
the pictures that you see.
Ma didn't seem at all afraid-and she's
a coward, too
He'd pat her cheeks and she would
laugh at everything he'd do;
But, pretty soon, when he'd got on a
rockin' chair to reach
A bundle that was higher than his
head, ma give a screech,
And, jimmunnee! | tell you what, it

DESPAIR IN ST. PETERSBURG.
Russian Naval Disasters Dishearten
the Admiralty.

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. ia feel
ing almost akin to despair reigns in
the much tried Russian admiralty. The
official report of Vice Admiral Skryd
loff, coming on the heels of the known
losses sustained by the Port Arthur
squadron in it's desperate sortie Of Au
gust 10, not only confirming the sink
ing of the Rurik. but showing that the
damages received by the Gromoboi and
ROssia in the fight with Vice Admiral
Kamimura's squadron were even
greater than expected, completes the
crushing nature of the blow to Russia $
ill-starred naval forces in the Far East
So far as the immediate future is
concerned, the admiralty does not dis
guise the fact that the Vladivostok
squadron is destroyed. The only conso-
lation found is in the words of praise
bestowed on the officers and men and
the unequal character of the fight, Rus
sian naval experts, by the system Of
cOefficients, figuring that the inferior
ity Of the Vladivostok squadron in
armor and guns was 50 to ZOO
1t is confirmed that the losses Of Off
GERS and men on board the RosSia and
Grorloboi were so per cent of the for
mer and p per cent Of the latter, show
ing the dreadful havoc caused by the
fire from the Japanese ships, even at
a range exceeding three miles. Pri-
vate reports say the decks of the Ros-
sia were veritable shambles.

Corporation Counsel Says
Employers Violate Law by
Keeping Employees at Yards

CHICAGO. Aug. Corporation
Counsel Tolman has given to Mayor
Harrison an opinion declaring that the
packers at the stockyards have no
legal right to house men in their pack
lighthouses. The opinion was given in
response to the request Of the Mayor,
who was informed by the Chicago Fed
Grafton Of Labor that the packers were
boarding men contrary to law.
The opinion holds that the regula-
tions calling for fire escapes and exits
in buildings where large numbers of
people are housed have not been COM
piled with, and suggests that the pack
ers be given a period of three days tc
commence the alterations in their
buildings or to find new quarters for
the men.
The Mayor after receiving the opinion
sent it to Chief of Police O'Neil, with
instructions to see that the packers
obeyed the law.

ManChurian Chun-
Chuses Led by
Japanese.

CHEFU, Aug. 19.-Major L. L. Sea-
man. a specialist in military surgery,
who has seen much of the Japanese
hospitals and who has been with the
Chunchuses, or Chinese bandits, near
Mukden, has arrived at Chefu. He
says that the japanese are giving proof
of the benefits to be derived from nom
interference with wounds on the field,
where they content themselves with the
application of first aid bandages and
antiseptics, leaving the more serious
was to be done in the hospitals at
home. The result of this practice has
been that many men suffering from
bullet wounds at the front are nearly
well when they reach Japan.
On onerhospital ship returning TO
Japan from the front there were 2200
wounded men and there was not a
single death on board during the trip.
Three per cent viii cover all the deaths
among the wounded who have been
returned to Japan after having re-
ceived first-aid treatment only.
Russian wounded captured by the
Japanese have been treated in a SINH
lar maner and the recoveries among
these men is scarcely less in proportion
than among the Japanese.
A new complication has been dis
covered in the wounds sustained in this
war, due TO the extraordinary high
speed of small caIiber bullets, which
produce aneurisms by their speed. Ma
jor Seaman saw tWenty-Seven opera
tions performed for the relief of this
new condition.
After having spent some time in
Japan, Major Seaman, accompanied by
Captain Charles I. Boyd Of the Tenth
United States Cavalry, was the guest
OF Chungtzorlin, a Chunchuse chief,
near Sinminting, where the Chun-
chuses number 10000 men.
The major declares these men to be
in the employ of the japanese, who pay
the infantry fifteen taels a month and
the cavalry twenty-five taels a month.
There are many Japanese officers
among these forces, who are used to
harass the Russians.
During the visit of Major Seaman
and Captain Boyd the bandits brought
in the heads Of five Cossacks on pixies.
These Cossacks had been part of a de-
tachment of thirty-five men who were
engaged in securing 1000 head of cattle.
After the bandits defeated the Russian
detachment they appropriated the
cattle.
The Chunchuses pride themselves on
their horsemanship, and the visiting
officers owe their welcome among them
10 some West Point riding tricks shown
them by Captain Boyd.
The attack Of the Chunchuses on the
Cossack detachment with the cattle re-
suited in a force of 1000 Cossacks
marching out TO avenge the killing OF
their comrades. Thereupon the robber
chief said his visitors had better so, as
he could not undertake TO protect
them. Consequently Major Seaman
and Captain Boyd left the bandits
headquarters.

BARD is COMMENDED.
San Diego Convention Declines to In
struct for the Senator.

SAN DIEGO. Aug. 19.-The Repub-

day, resulting in the nomination CT
f. w. Barnes and Percy A. Johnson
for the Assembly and H. NJ. Cherry,
James H. Cassidy and w. T. Whsle
for members of the Board cf Supervis-
ors. The committee on resolutions re-
ported a mild sort of endorsement of
Bard's work in the Sena'e along with
the same sort of an Endorsement of
Senator Perkins. Congressman Daniels
and other Republican Off 1ials.
This did not suit some of the friends
of Bard, who introdu led a resolution
which was tantamount 20 Instructions
to the Legislative ticket. This was op-
posed by the majority. not because
they were opposed to Bard. but because
they were opposed to any and all in
structions on the ground that San Di-
ego is working and fighting 'or the
nomination of NJ L. Ward for Con-
gress and 1t was held that attempting
to land too many candidates would be
detrimental to his chances. The con-
vention decided to mix in no other
fight.
