And here and there, like mindful saints,
The steadfast church spires point above;
I cannot hear, though loud the bells
Chime out their tale of peace and love;
Still far away sad memories fly
To churchyard fields that lie
Beyond the chimney-tops.
The city CLEANS fade one by one,
Though Christmas cheer be all below;
Some thankfulness is due, know,
Since through my window smiles the sun.
What though its joys l must forego,
Sweet peace that comes at Christmas-tide
With me may bide
Beneath the chimney-tops.

The city's turmoil lies below;
Upon how many hearts tonight
The CHEEKY fire is all aglow.
And thoughts that come at Christmas-tide
Float in, with me to abide,
So near the chimney-topsl
And quick as fades the sunset-sheen
The light leaps out to meet the stars,
As if, perchance, their slender bars
Night bridge the space between!
For me, I need no candies ray
To point way

The product of the copper mines Is said to be taken us fast as put on the market and there is no surplus.

WILL INVESTIGATE -ROOSEyEITS EDICT.

An investigation by congress into the Brownsville affair and into the question both of the authority for and the justice of President Rooseyclts order dismissing three companies Of the Twenty-fifth regiment of negroes. is certain to be made.
 Republican congressman will be forced to make some show of consid- eration for the negro vote. The move for an investigation must come from the republicans, inasmuch as they are the ones politically affected. despite that it will embarrass them to call the presidents course into question.
 Many republican members who were reelected November 6. are thanking their lucky stars that the presidents decision to dismiss the entire battalion of negroes was moi announced until the day after eiec- ton.
 It is regarded as certain that had this action been known in advance. al least a dozen disricts n phio. Indi- ana. Illinois. F4hsas. Maryland. wes' Virginia -and New York wouli haxs been lost to the repubiicans.

TO TEST THE HEPBURN RATE BILL.

Whether the Hepburn railroad rate bill shall stand will. 1t Is declared, de- pend upon the action of the supreme court, which has been asked to pass upon the merits of the Texas live stock rate case. which was reepened this week by the interstate commerce commission.
 Such speedy adjudication of the rate-making power was not expected, but i, is now believed that the case made up by the appeal of the shippers Of live stock will go to the very bot tom of the power of congress to em- power a commission to fix rates.
 The Texas live stock case Is based upon a complaint filed by the Cattle Ra.sers' association of Texas against rates on live cattle from the Texas ranges to the northern feeding grounds and rates from Texas and the northern territory to the markets in the meat packing cities.
 Practically every rate on live cattle in the whole region west of Chicago and the Mississippi river and between the Northern Pacific railroad and the Texas quarantine line is involved eith- CT directly or indirectly. and all the important railroads in the west ex- cept the Northern Pacific and the Great Northern are made defendants
 The allegations of the petition is that the rates complained of are un- just and unreasonable. special com' piaint being made of general advances in live stock rates all through the ter ritorx in 1903 An enormous mass o' testimony was submitted by both sides, and the commission on Augus' l6 is5s, announced a decison which It was held that "the advance: in live stock rates during 1903 were unjust and unreasonable. and that ths existing rates were unjust and un reasonable to the extent of such ad yances.''
 when this decision was announced the Cattle Raisers' association enteret a motion for additional and more spe csfc findings and a final order Wa not issued. but the case was allowed to rest until the Hepburn law ha' been passed. when a motion to reopei the case was made.
 The case having been recpenej th' commission has notified both side that additional testimony will b heard, and that the record vii be re exasained b the commission for pro cedure u54der sise new section i5 0 the law, the raj nssss if's section: Un less the railroads can show substan tiai difference in conditions hince Au rnst Is, 1905, there :s litle doabt taz the commission will reafflrm it's for nncr decision and issue an order pre- fcribng the rates in effect prior to 'h advance of 1903 as the minimum tha may be charged

and the net earnings $35so. These are unprecedented figures in the his tory of American raflroading. The enormous amount of s22s. .4os,5sS was distributed in dividends.
 In the face of these returns there appears to be curious anomaly in the recent announcement that all em- ployes' wages will be raised but that all extra" expenditure shall be cut off for the coming year. Extras" are explained as including the betterment of roadbeds and tracks.
 It therefore becomes interesting to find the reason for this spirit of re trenchment when it involves that part of the source which insures public safety and comfort. Wisdom may prompt such economy, but it will be difficult for the people who have con- tributed toward such untold wealth to believe that their interests are held so lightly after these redletter days in railroading.

Laying For Him.

Did you ever pause in the midst of busy day to contemplate the egotism of the man who thinks it will rain be cause he forgot and left his umbrella at home?
 He thinks that the powers which have the contract to make the rain. hail and other things in the wet goods line are hiding behind a tree as he passes by to see If he had put on his new spring suit and forgot his shower stick.
 He doesn't know that the rain falls alike on the just and the unjust He thinks that the condition of the crops, or whether some city along a river Is needing freshet to keep 1t from get ting too fresh, Is a secondary matter as compared to whether be Is protected or not.
 The man who feels that way about 1t Is too hopelessly dense to provide himself with an umbrella In the natu- ral way should a shower come. and de- serves to get ducking.
