many lands would come a mighty dele
cation of paupers who are old, feeble
and forgotten OF men. The Host would
not first satisfy Himself with luxuries
and then toss the scraps to His guests.
They would not be fed on fragments
after some modern ideas of Christian
charity, which are sufficiently de-
scribed in the Parable of the Rich
man and Lazarus. The former was
charitable enough in his way. He did
not object to giving Lazarus what re-
manned from his feasts. Doubtless he
was painfully surprised to find himself
in hell. The Host who in His day
preached the doctrine of Sacrifice.
would hardly entertain His friends on
fragments. We may rest satisfied that
even the worst of social Outcasts who
are sick of life of vileness would be
welcomed at His table. The scarlet
woman would sit down by the convict
and learn that there was forgiveness
for the past and promise for the flu
ture. The Host is not coming back on
His birthday. Yet if His followers
would only try. could they not make
it seem as though He really had re-
turned to spend Christmas in the

A YULE.TIDE ON THE PEAK
By Lem w. Seawell.

Grated with holly and winter roses.
There is a long table, on which is a
lot Of ancient cookies. There is a
barbecued hog lying on his back with
an apple in his mouth. In the CEN
ter of the table is a large Yorkshire
pudding. There are decanters of
red wine and scores of glasses of
ye olden design
The door opens and my heart leaps
TO my throat as / see approaching the
table the shade of Richardson Pagan,
the old merchant, who wrapped Car
thage in swaddiing clothes when it
was a tiny spot in the domain OF
King George. Next comes the shade
Of Benjamin Williams, the only Gov
ernor ever elected from this county.
He is followed closely by Phillip Ais
ton, the first Senator from Moore and
the seats around the table are rap
idly filled by others.
The silver buckles on Richardson
Fagan's knees ratified as he arose with
glass in hand and said:
Friends, / drink to the health of

an enterprise whose influence is felt
throughout the Upited States. drink
to the health of William Thomas
Jones. May many Christmases yet

Upon this there was much ap-
plause and clinking of glasses. Then
the portly form of Governor Williams
arose, and holding his glass aloft
he said:

At n Moore County Dance.
BY LEM. w. SEAWELL.

BY LEM. w. SEAWELL.
Twas corn husking time M on tn
Peak
And there was going to be a dance
That would last all the week.
We knew there would be fun
SO we promptly took our place
On the old kitchen floor
For we had been there before
They were tuning the banjos
And we found at a glance
That not a thing was lacking
For a Moore County dance;
A blazing pine knot. that
Lit up the room,
Threw ;ts bright rays on
An old fashioned loom.
There was John Henry Thomas"
There were Emilne and Dan
And all of the Bradies
Clear down to a man
Each man was CoatleSS,
Minus collar and cravat,
With twisted tobacco,
Corn liquor and all that
promenade" ard all's in a whirl.
We danced on the side
With a one-e.g hty- pound girl.
Her attire was quite simple,
Neither tucks nor a ruffie
But she was right on the spot
When her time came TO shuttle.
Swing on yer c0rnerS!"
Then everything gets loose,
For there is plenty of music,
And barrels of corn juice.
Someone stumbled and cussed
A blue streak.
But they all cuss fiuently
Way up on the Peak.
Swing yer partners!"
It'll we all have danced enough"
Then pass the Nhiskey, the
Candy and snuff.
We turned and shuffied
Till too exhausted to speak,
For that is how they dance
Way up on the Peak.
I've watched swell dancers
On a polished floor
In their costly dress suits
And diamonds galore!
Keeping time to the strains
From an orchestra grand
And | have heard with delight
The great Marine band
But naught can pleasure to my
Fancy bring,
Like the hGstling shuttle
And the banjo's ring.
oh, take me once again
To a Moore county ball.
Then hop light ladies
We will balance all!

For the many kind comments of
our brethren of the press regard
ing the Souvenir book we are
deeply grateful, particularly as in
some instances they carry testi-
monials as to typographical ex-
cellence that are highly hattering.
We feel that the Souvenir is the
most valuable work for setting
forth the advantages of the whole
North Fork that has ever been
compiled. That it will be most
thoroughly circulated is already
assured, and that it will result in
a new and intense interest in this

A ROYAL PREROGATIVE.

The supreme court of Colorado
has exercised the royal preroga-
tive by imposing fine of 1000
upon Senator Patterson for con
structive contempt, committed by
the publication of cartoons con
strued by the court as libelous re
Elections upon its integrity and
dignity. The exercise of the
royal prerogative that enables
judges to accuse, try, con demn
and punish real or imaginary re-
Elections upon their dignity or in
tegrity committed at long range
and out of their immediate pres
ence is a relic of medieval, mon
archical adsolutism, flagrantly at
variance with the spirit of our
free institutions. In our day even
emperors and kings do not try
to punish men accused of lese
majestic.
The fact that there are only
twelve such cases of record since
the foundation of this govern
ment in all of the supreme courts
of the United States affords strik-
ing proof that this mode of up
holding the honor of high courts
against assaults at the hands of
publicists is repugnant to the
sense of justice of the great body
of jurists who have presided ovef
the most exalted tribunals in the
land since the adoption OF the
federal constitution.
The arbitrary exercise of the
royal prerogative was never con-
templated by the trainers of the
organic laws of the states, which
in every instance include bill of
rights that guarantees for every
man accused of crime the rights
be tried by jury of his peers,
even where the crime is the most
heinous. Judges are no more en-
titled to avenge their own wrongs
than the humblest citizen in the
land. If they are libeled by any
publisher, the courts are open to
them just as they are to governors,
to lawmakers and even to the
president.-Omaha Daily Bee.

THE death of Senator Mitchell,
of Oregon, which occurred last
Friday as the result of hemor-
rhage from the extraction of four,
teeth is peculiarly sad on account
of the fact that he had just been
convicted of land frauds and at
the time of his death was under
sentence to Jail for his offen3e.
In spite of the fact that he was
found guilty, many had sympathy
with the Senator, as he was re-
garded as one of the small sin
ners, sort of horrid example, a
hundred times less guilty than
others who entirely escape pun
ishment.
