Old Chimes, Old Loves, Old Times.
-%-HEN the Christmas bells ring
~ out they ring in flood of gold
w en- memories. The dreams of
youth, the romance of spring,
the poem Of the bride and of the first
child, the autumn of content, and now
it is Christmas again, there are
empty chairs and vanished faces, the
web of life's mingled sorrow and joy
is fastened about us, we have known
love and peace, and grief and pain,
and still, thank God, it is good world,
we are glad to be alive, and able to-
look forward in hope to yet brighter
life beyond. Memory is strong rope
that binds the soul to good or ill. A
man can never become utterly bad
while there remains with him the men,
DRY of the beautiful home Christ
mas. A woman cannot grow callous
who has the recollection of the dear
old mother and the kind father who
made the center and loneliness of the
Christmastide holiday and merriment.
Let us be kind and loving to each
other, for memories all round the
world are busy with past Christmases;
and this one will abide with those who
yet may wander across the seas.

whom an orange and a picture book
would be a foretaste of heaven. Play
Santa Claus to some child, Snd you
will find your Merry Christmas in the
reflection of it's innocent delight; or
carry your greeting and your gift to
some aged and lonely creature whose
last Christmas it will be on earth, and
earn a blessing that will repay your
effort an hundredfOld.
There is, happily, no monopoly Of
the joys of Christmas. II they do not
come to us, we can go to them. We
have but to open our hearts and
stretch out our hands and the messen-
gers of peace will come gladly troop
ing towards us. 1t will be our own
fault If we do not, each and all, have
A Merry Christmas.

The holiday times bring to those of
us whose memories go back a half
century or more thoughts of the days
before the Civil, War, when life was
SO different from that in the hurrying
world of the present, writes Mrs. Lii
lie Devereux Blake in the Philadel-
phia Public Ledger. | was born in
thee South. My father, Mr.. Devereux,
owned large plantation on the banks
of the Roanoke river, in North Caro-
lima. My earliest remembrances are
OF the kindly faces of the dusky peo-
pie who were the only inhabitants for
miles around us
The Soft Southern Winter.
After my fathers early death my
mother made her home near her own
people at the North, but each year we
visited the old plantation and the
Carolina relatives. How sweet was
the soft Southern winter! How beau
tifuI the early spring! AS l write l
seem to- see the deep forests of odor-
Gus pine trees, the broad savannas
that were gay with flowers. the tall
stalks Of 1.-The Roanoke BELLE" the
pink blossoms of the scented haw-
thonn, the grass spangled with violets
and "eye-brights," and to hear once
| more the wild songs of the birds echo
ing down the wide reaches of the
river.
The celebration began on Christmas
the slaves. 1t took place in wide
BARN, which had been decorated for
the occasion with great branches of
pine and holly. All present wore
| their best attire, the simple gowns OF
/ the women often showing much taste
I i'm their construction. A negro fiddler
/ led the music, which was reinforced
by the rhythmic clapping kept up by
the men; "Clapping Juba," it was call
ed. and was made by striking the
hands together on the leg OF chest.
What merry scene it vast!
| Yuletide on the Plantation.
| OF course, this was a holiday. and
all day groups of our people came to
the great house." as the planter S
residence was called. to wish Massa
and Missis a merry Christmas. Some
times they brought small gifts of eggs
Or flowers or little red birds that they
had tanned. Sometimes they danced
Or performed athletic fsats. Some
ines they only said "Howd'y Massa,'
"Howdy, Missis," but always with a
look of affection. ALI! those dusky
'riends OF long ago! How they dwell
n my memory! HOW deep and strong
vas the affection which existed be-
tween these simple people and those
whose hands was the great respon

started the Equitable row? The rumor, due likely to the prominence of E. H. Hartman in the society. that Standard Oil men were trying to buy the Hyde holdings. which controlled the great company. Hartman is the Standard Oils hired man in railroad management; he is a director in B great financial companies. Tine pos sibility that Mir. Rockefeller. by merely buying at whatever price $5l ,OOO in shares of the society, could control the investment of nearly $500, ,000 900 of it's money assets. was startling enough. The price quoted varied from $5,000.- 900 to $10,Q00.00o for this little batch of stock limited to per cent. in come. That price measures the value of the privilege of investing the as- sets, of being able to buy Smiths bonds and turn down Jones'. when both Smiths and Jones are equally good.
 No one doubts that the investment of assets has been in the main con- servative. Anyone is at liberty to 80 over the list of investments in the published reports. He will find a few such items as the bonds of Mr. Mor- gan's shipping trust held at par by one life insurance company, but in the main the assets are. above par in value.
 That's not altogether the point. There is--a law proposed in Albany now to forbid any director of a fnan- ciai corporation taking tip or fee for granting a loan or buying bonds. You wouldn't think such a law was necessary? We'll, it is. The German bank in Buffalo was wrecked by ab- sence of such a law.

 days that still hold his keenest inter est. Plainly he would half like to be policeman again, though he says that nothing would tempt him.
 Byrnes belonged to the Aleck Will Hams school of police ethics. And as to Aleck--well, let colored brother once well known in the Tenderloin, explain: q likes dat Mars Wiums," said Tom. "'Nothah p'licem'n sees niggah little bit drunk he runs i'm in, suh. Mex mohnin' or jedge say: Ten dors r ten days n whah's ten dol's comin' from? Yassuh! Mars Aleck he see niggah drunk hyah bouts. he whack i'm Ovah he haid wiv 'es club n say: 'Heah. niggah git erlon' Out'n dis!' Dat niggah 60 erlon' den. Yassuh. No fine, no ten days in dc jail, suh." -,,t.
 But Byrnes in the days of his fame was far above ordinary clubbing tac- tics; his work was subtle. No police man has to this day told the full story of the. famous third degree" as ad- ministered by him. and few criminals have cared to reveal their limited un- derstanding of it. The man worked by psychology. He was an artist in effect ,aAt times, he was kindness it. self, to- ar,suspected man: at times stern; and no criminal ever faced un- moved that piercing eye, that calm countenance.

to them ars hosts of new ones tAat smell of money only. Andrew Car- nsgie shows mighty good sense In keeping out of that ruck, and spend- ing his money upon useful thipgs.
 The new millionaires arc often dis tinguished by inability to understand that there are things that money will not buy. A newly rich man who was year ago prominent in disgracslul scandals that made his name . kissing and . byword throughout the country was being pounded" very heavily by the newspapers. He offered reporter upon one of the city papers several thousands in hard Gsn to let up' on him. presume the man had sufficient low cunning to realize that the re- porter alone could not muEzle news paper, and relied upon him to divide farther up." The man of millions and no morals was genuinely surprised when the newspaper man directed him to a warmer climate. One reason for the vast circulation and influence of the so-called yellow" sheets is that there is an, instinct among the people that they are not influenced by any extraneous pull" Any one who at tempts to bribe New York newspaper to a vicious course or cause might ask himself what bribe would be sufficient to induce even conscienceless pro- prietor to half-ruin a property worth from $5,OO0,O0O to $10,o00,0o0 upon it's good repute alone.

that doesn't look so we'll. Young Hyde has great pleasure palace on the South Shore road on Long Island, where every bicyclist can see it. Mag uifcent house, steam-heated harness room, where 100 sets of costly mount cd harness are kept, 30 coaches and traps. tennis courts under cover. every establishment of the modern life of . millionaire. This young FOrtunatus spent upon his fancy dress ball from one to two years of his father's salary as president of the Equitable. The general belief is that he could afford it. But not. surely. on his own smaller salary. And. upon the stock in the society that the Hyde family owns the income is limited to per cent. less than 5000 in all. Fortunate invest ments" must in some form account for the vast wealth which the young man inherits and uses in the main so we'll. For he Is no ordinary roysterer, but student and lover of books and read ing. His friendship for Rejsne. the French actress. comes naturally by way of his intimate knowledge of the French language: and we have as yet only Rejane's word for it that Mir. Hyde intends to build her . theater before she comes back next winter.

every man of them tarred with the suspicion of corruption. and with the certainty of connection with rammsny ward politics, Commissioner McAdoo. a respectable man of moderate force who wants to do as we'll as he can. was compelled to give higher ofhcefs the go-by and give a sergeant the task of being his eyes, to see iniquity in hiding behind the broad skirts of the police coat. Eggers is . slender man of medium height. smooth shsven. with . prominent Adams apple. He could play stage Yankee without face paint. He has the keenness of . vidocq; but unless he wins . cap taincy out of his work he might as we'll resign. If he goes back to desk work there are not three captains in the city who will not haze him un- mercifully.
 OBrien is . captain. acting inspec- tor. He has the huge frame. the conl manding eye. the uniinching valor. that make men like Byrnes and Will Hams in a tight place worth ten ordi- nary fellows. O'Brien served as the head of the trafiic bureau. and in six months brought the street trahic of New York. before that . hopeless con- fusion. to rival London's in order ly dispatch at congested corners. O'Brien's statussque mounted men. sit- ting their great horses unmovins and needing not to move save their lynx-like eyes. his silent pat-olmen directing the throngs with their up- lifted hands. have done what old New Workers have said could never be dons this side of London.
 And so. pasaing again all his in- spectorr. tainted many of them with suspicion. McAdoo put the one man who had '-done things" in the depart meut at the head Of the detective bureau. OBrien may not be another Byrnss: few mea could be. Eat he is . sa,lwart figure. worth watching. Anyone who ever visits New Yofk needs such men in the blue.
