A COSTA RICAN VOLCANO

On the island of Costa Rico Is the
remarkable volcano OF Poas. The
crater has an altitude of about $500
rect. The traveller who makes the
ascent, on reaching the lip OF the
crater, finds himself at the brink Of
vast perpendicuar.s pit. at the
bottom of which lies motionless
pool OF yellowish water. The sense Of
deadly stiffness and desolation is I'M

4 XMAS OF ICICLES
JUST AS A CHANGE
Americas is Shivering Some
Still.
THE COOLEST XMAS IN DECADE
Three Days of Solid Freezs 10 Most
Unusual for AmeFicus-SmallI Lakes
are Frozen Over, Pipes Burst and
Plumbers Buy Diamonds.

old Santa has all the snow and solid
ice required for sleighing purposes in
making his annual tour to Americas
this morning. For three days the
weather has been the coolest of the
winter. and the strenuous efforts of
Old Sol to help matters amounts to
very little.
Down to within dozen points of the
zero notch it fell yesterday.
The ground was frozen hard to a
depth of several inches, which probably
means, to a great extent the loss of
that portion of the oat crop planted late,
as the oats were just sprouting.
Ice formed to the thickness of an
inch in tubs and troughs left in OK
posed places, while on the creek front
below the city small lagoons and lakes
were frozen over solidly. Not in sew
eral years have these small bodies been
known to freeze thus.
And the pipes! Well, it is a merry
Christmas indeed for the jolly plumber.
All over the city the merrimental pop
ping of the yielding pipes could be
heard, like fusilade of frecrackers.
And diamonds instead of doughnuts
the plumber will buy today.
Americas usually felicitates in bright
and baImy weather at Christmas, when
one can sit upon the front veranda and
watch the merry crowds go by. But
anyone found upon a verandah just
now would be harpooned and tried fol-
lunacy or burglary.
But it is bright and beautiful withal,
and around the cheerful Christmas fire
this morning light-hearted people will
forget the cold.

XMAS TRAVEL IS NOT CROWDED
Volume is Not as Great as Last Sea-
son.

Passenger trains arriving in Ameri-
Gus during the past few days did not
indicate the amount of travel carried
last season during the holiday rush.
The coaches are comfortably filled, and
all trains late, as usual, but there is not
the push and jam marking the Xmas
rush year ago. The greatest travel
recently has been that of college stu
dents returning home. There are few
negroes aboard the trains, an unusual
feature at this season.

Sabbath, a Day Of Rest.

We did not expect to see the day
when the Sabbath would be a polit.
ical issue In Missouri. That day,
however, has come, says the Colum.
bia Herald. The Democratic party
stands for the enforcement of the law
which preserves the Sabbath as a
day OF rest. More, the Democratic
governor put the platform into prac-
tical effect before it was a platform.
That's the Democratic record. The
Republican party does not favor the
enforcement OF the law. 1t lodges
the question in It's state platform. In
Cape Girardeau county It favored the
non. reinforcement. In st. Louis coun.
ty 1t elects officers who refuse to en-
force the law until compelled by the
supreme court. The brewers, whose
business is hurt by the enforcement
Of the Sunday law, are the chief con.
tributors to the campaign fund oil

Republican record. Upon the issue
the Democratic party appeals to the
people. It may not be good politics.

is betterio for q political party to stand
for righteousness, than merely for
temporary partisan success. Yet,

Sabbath will win In Missouri.
