"A Song for the Season

A song for the holly bough
For the Yuletide becsons now,
And our -garnered sphere
Showeth the wliite o. the year
Brightly the berries burn
Like the embers In the urn
OF the day ere 1t declines
Behind the crest Of the pines.
Green--a glory OF green
Are the leaves Of verDal sheen,
None OF their simmer lost
Under the touch OF the frost.
Furnished berry and leaf
Symbol the souls belief
In the fadeless love Of Him
Who sitteth, In heaven. above
The saints and the scraphim
At the right Of the throne OF Love.
Center our faith and hope
We who yearn and grope--
In the love they typify

The Bethlehem Star

The Bethlehem Star! The Guiding Star
or Old Judeahs night.
Has 1t become a faded scar
Across the orient night?-
The guess Of Science, and the guess
OF critic. seer, and sage?
Has 1t the DINNER grown, or less
For change Of cline and age?
Star Of the East!-it Is not set;
Though Science scout the sky,
'Tis burning In the heaven yet, Sd
AS bright and sure and high
AS when the Shepherds saw 1t flame
Over Old Bethlehem,
And followed 1t until 1t came
And showed Christ to them.
The Bethlehem Star-each mother sees
Its holy promise-light,
Believing each its destinies
Her darlings, In the night;
Believing each the little star
Is set above her son
To light her mother-hopes that are,
And shine when hers are done.
The Bethlehem Star! The Guiding Stay
That hovers full and clear
Wherever babe and cradle are,
And parents watching near;
Wherever cherub lips Of love
Bring tidings OF great Joy,
Where'er a mother bends above
Her darling first-born boy!

A Christmas Hymn

The stars were shining In Judea's sky
And all the air was singing
Where angels, with their censers sway
ing by.
A golden flight were winging,
And deep below the glory Of the stars,
In humble peace reposing
A mother sat beside the mcnger bars
A tender babe disclosing.
o sweeter than Arabia's fragrant airs,
From myriad roses sweeping,
Falrer than children lisping at their
prayers.
This little babe lay sleeping.
Can this be He, the King upon His
throne,
This lowly lying stranger?
And Is 1t thus He comes into His own,
Unsceptered. in a manger?
Yea, this Is He for whom ye long have
yearned!
For Him bring dearest treasure.
And lay beside Him all your toll hath
earned
In overfowing measure.
Not the gold offering of older days
Or shrinking lambs oblation,
But every jewel wrought Of faith and
praise,
OF love and abnegation.
Louise Morgan Sill.

He strained his eyes to mark
The glimmer Of the lamp-lit panes,
But all was still and dark.
No jnxous bark rang out to greet
His footsteps as of yore-
The cold white SHOWS unbroken lay
Around the silent door,
He saw upon the snowy sill
A wreath of immortelles,
And then his orphaned cry arose
Above the Christmas bells.

The Star Of Bethlehem

Out of the past's dark night
There shines one star.
Whose light
Is more than countless consultations

To see the star that guided

To see the Baby Jesus

While seraph hosts adOring,
Sang praises DER His head
And we, In spirit kneeling,
The Babe Of Bethlehem

the preacher and his daughter take
up the words. and send the old, old
message ringing proudly, joyously
Into the very heart of the night. The
music, the words, touch and stir the
crowds, they cease to shout and yell.
They cease to dance and drink; they
cease to curse and gamble. Out from
the drinking dens they pour into the
street, out from the gambling hells,
out from the dancing saloons. A
mighty hush falls on the camp.
'Hughie. the Baker, chief profess
sional gambler in the camp, leans
his elbows on the window sill of his
hotel, and quietly tears his cards
across the middle one by one, and
drops his dice box out amongst the
feet of the crowd. Then, just as
some Of the baser spirits in the
throng try to drown the choir voices
with a ribald shout, the gambler,
thinking Of his far-off home amidst
the green English lanes, raises his
deep, rich voice, voice that every
digger knew, and blending perfectly
with the voice Of the preachers
daughter, sings:
Hark, the herald angels sing,
Glory to the newborn King.
Cory, glory, glory glory.
Glory to the newborn King.
Then the whole street bursts into
one great glad song Of praise and
adoration. and Christmas came to the

implicated.
BEFORE GRAND JURY
Former Secretary Of Associated Build
ing Trades and Team 0wuefs
kssocistisn Makes Serious
Charges.

Chicago, June 1.-THE greatest
scandal Chicago has ever seen, ac-
cording to States Attorney Healy, Is
to follow disclosures made yesterday
before the grand jury by John c. Dris-
coll, when the former secretary OF the
Associated Building Trades and Coal
Team Owners Association revealed
the entire history of the dealings be-
tween the employers and union labor
leaders, particularly that branch OF
union labor represented by the Ch1ca
go teamsters union.
John c. Driscoll was the chief
witness before the grand jury, and re-
cited what he called the history OF the
dealings between the employers and
union labor
It was learned late last night that
one of the statements made by DTS
coll to the grand jury was that Presi
dent Shea, of the Transfers Union,
accepted $4,000 at the time OF the
stockyards strike last summer.
This strike began on July IL, and
lasted for nine weeks. About $4,000
men were thrown out of work and
millions OF dollars were lost by the
packers in business and by the men
in wages. According to Driscoll's
story he went to Shea to see If the
teamsters could not be prevented from
going out on sympathetic strike.
Shea is said by Driscoll to have re-
piled:
'1t will cost $4,000 to keep them
at work"
Driscoll declared he raised the mon.
ey and paid 1t to Shea, and that the
labor leader was not able to prevent
the men from walking out, Driscoll
afterwards, according to his story, de.
manded a return of the money, and
Shea declared that he had paid 1t over
to two other men connected with the
teamsters' union.
Jury Room the Center of interest.
Chicago, June 16.-The grand jury
room, where witnesses are being ex-
amined as to the payment OF money
for the settlement of the strike and
regarding assaults made upon non

cided to meet only every other day.
Nothing was heard today about peace
and there was no evidence OF the
strike on the streets. Deliveries OF
goods In all lines are almost normal.

THE TRAGEDY
AT TUCUMCAR|
Further Details of the Awful
Affair at Home Of George
Campbell.
WOMAN WAS INSANE
Her Mind Gave Way and She Killed Her
Five Children and Then Shot Her
self, Dying Instantly.

Tucumcari, June 16.-Further de-
tails have been received here concern
ing the tragedy at the ranch of
George Campbell, four miles west OF
this town Mr.. Campbell is one of the
most prominent ranchmen in central
New Mexico, and his home is one OF
the finest in the section. His wife had
been in i'll health for some time and
of late had worried great deal over
trifes and ihconsequent things. Her
mental condition, however, had never
been questioned and there was no sus-
picion that her mind would suddenly
give away.
Tuesday evening Mrs. Campbell,
without the slightest warning, became
suddenly insane, and, before she
could be restrained, had seized her
youngest child, whom she was holding
in her lap, and dashed it to the floor
in the kitchen, running Immediately
into the bed room. Mr.. Campbell
picked the child up and discovered
that it was badly bruised about the
head. He then followed his wife into
the other room. He was met at the
door by Mrs Campbell, who pointed
cooked rifle at his head. Il am go
ing to kill you right now," she ex-
claimed. Her husband attempted to
grab the rifle but was unable to get
hold of it. Mrs. Campbell stepped
backward and was on the point of pull
ing the trigger when Mr.. Campbell,
seeing that he could not get to her in
time to prevent the shot, turned and
ran out of the door. AS he passed out
his wife fired and the bullet narrowly
missed the fleeing mans head, lodging
in the door casing.
Mr.. Campbell ran to neighboring
ranch for help, never dreaming that
his wife would kill their children and
herself When he returned with help
he found his five children and his wife
dead Fears are now expressed that
Campbell himself will become insane
over the terrible calamity. He is be-
ing closely watched.
Mrs. Campbell was familiar with
the mechanism of the rifle she used
and was a good shot.
The wounds in the bodies of the
children showed that they died in
stantly. After shooting the little
ones, Mrs. Campbell sat down on the
floor with her back against the wall,
placed the muzzle of the gun to her
body and released the trigger with the
toe of her shoe. The bullet passed
entirely through her body.

A. N Pratt, of Carlsbad, who has
attendance at the meetings of the
commission of irrigation, of which
body he is the president, in an inter

of water for irrigation and other
uses. This is a mistake, as there is

necessary is to devise some means OF
diverting it into the canals. The main
reservoir at Carlsbad is not the Ava
Ion dam but is Lake Mcmillan, about
seventeen miles north of the city
This is large natural reservoir which
holds and now contains more than
enough water to supply all the needs
of the community. The original Ava
Ion dam, situated about five miles
north of the city and which was
washed out last October, only created
a small reservoir, fed by Lake McMil-
Ian. When it was destroyed a temper
ary structure was erected just above
the old dam to be used in diverting
the water from the Pecos River
around the old dam and into the ditch
on the side. 1t was this temporary
which washed out recently
and it had nothing whatever to do
with the reservoir or the storage of
water. The dam which supplies the
power for the operation of the electric
plant for Carlsbad is situated below
the city and is being pushed ahead
as rapidly as flood conditions will al

a few weeks and then the light ser.
