Ladysmith news. [volume] (Ladysmith, Wis.) 1906-1907, 1906-12-29

The government of Belgium has voted
to annex the Congo Free State. 1t this
should happily mean that the brutalitles
of King Leopold would cease humanity
would have occasion to rejoice. AS this
is very doubtful, it would seem as If
the world ought to have little Christ
mas festival in the form of funeral OF
King Leopold at Brussels. The only
reason for delay is that his monstrosltles
in this life are such that in arranging
for future affairs no place was provided
where the punishment would be
adequate, and department of torture
more horrible than Russia affords was
necessary to meet the emergency of
the case. If worse comes to worst
while the foreign place is being fixed
up, Leopold might be sent to the Congo
Free State himself and receive some of
the brutality he has inflicted upon
others.

1t is perhaps more interesting than
important to record the alleged fact
that the officers of the army and navy
who have served in the Philippines
have established the "Order Of the
Caraboo" and adopted song which
has for it's chorus this:
Damn, damn, damn the Filipinos,
cross eyes, kaklack ladrones!
Underneath the starry flag, civilize
'em with Krag,
And return us to our own beloved
homes.
The author of his song musthave been
homesick or he would not so ruthlessly
throw twenty million dollar investment

Value Of Rain Water.

The value of rain water. The purest
water met with under ordinary cir
cumstances is rain water, which is GER
tainly a great luxury to those in
towns for washing. If it were fully
APPRECIATED how valuable ram water
really is, the jewellers in our large
towns would see that it was not al
ways lost. It is free from the hard
ness which characterizes spring water,
feels soft to the hands, forms beau
tiful lather, and agrees well with the
skin.

Christmas Day Lessons.


The following article appeared in the
st. Paul Dispatch Christmas and is re-
printed for it's worth:
The lesson which Christmas ought to
bring to every civilized human being is
the opportunity which is afforded every
one to make fellow mortals happy.
We do not care to moralize or sermon
ize on this joyful day, but we do some
times wonder why more people who have
been favored by fortune do not seek for
happiness for themselves by making
someone else happy and, while they live,
seeing them enjoying their happiness.
The happiest moment in a persons lie
is when he or she has made some one
else happy, and is there on the spot to
see and drink in that cup of bliss which
is the supremest of all happiness.
That is the homely and important les
son Of Christmas which the whole world
ought to realize and appreciate.
To give after death is to deprive your
gift of one hundred per cent of its joys.
The world is so full Of opportunity to
relieve misery and suffering that it is
difficult to understood why people who
really have generous impulses do not
seek to have some Of the joys of life
themselves.
We are not speaking in the sense of
giving aims to mendicants. But COM
menting on the broader sense of the finer
feelings of humanity which are touched
when played upon by the heart throbs
of humanity. Aperson does not have to
be wealthy in this world to be bounte-
GUS and joy giving almoner. Kind words
to a person in distress; encouraging
words to adiscouraging and disheartened
fellow being can be made more effective
than rubies or precious gems.
Ifyou are able and inclined to aid a fell
low mortal with something practical do
not wait until you have filed homestead
presumption upon six feet by two of real
estate where you lie down like an animal
to be forgotten, unhonored and unsung.
Ifyou have real charity in your heart turn
it on yourself and make yourself joyous
because you have lightened the burden
of fellow mortal.
Christmas day and Christmas time are
feeting. Remember that the world is full
of grown up children whose hearts are
aching for encouragement andsympathy.
To go through life and add to no ones
comfort is to make life dismal failure,
and such person had better never have
been born.
To secure the love and gratitude Of
some pure being, young or old, male or
female, is to secure the beatitudes of
life.
This is the lesson of FMerry Christ
mas" and if you have not made the
past year exemplary in this respect, re-
solve before you close your eyes tonight
that the Christmas a year hence will
be the ''Merriest" of your life because
you have studiously sown garlands of
sunshine, and at the Merry Christmas
time will reap the harvest by reflection.

Easy To

Of Jail
CHUN HOON DECISION SHOWING
UP AS \ GOOD JAIL DELIVERY
RULING

The Chun Hoon Jail d livery" deci-
sion has not exactly opened the doors
of the jails to a general release of
prisoners, but it has come the nearest
to it of any decision yet, especially
for gamblers, who appear to be in
position to defy convictions for the
time being.
Number 9 got liberty this morning
when Chew Hing fined $500 for conduct
ing a lottery known as che-fa was set
free. The big fine was imposed dur
ing the anti-gambng agitation and
if not paid it meant over 200 days in
Honolulu Jail so-called,' which has
seen held so be infamous punishment
not to be imposed without indictment
Judge Gear made a motion for a new
trial on the ground that the judges
instructions had not been filed as re-
quired by law. When the hearing
came up before Judge De Bolt this
morning the latter held that as under
the Chw Hoon cision the judgment
and sentence were void, he had no
jurisdiction to order a new trial He
simply set aside the sentence and con-
victiOn and charge. leaving Chew Hing
free. The court and County Attorney
Douthitt wanted a postponement to
await the Chun Hoon appeal but Gear
| insisted on the prisoners legal right
of immediate action.
! The remedy i'm case the Chun Hoon
decision stands is said to be return
! to the system of indicting all offenders
even the smallest also giving them
! jury trials. Even the petty offenders
who appear duly before District Magis-
trate Whitney are all entitled to juries
it is claimed, until a new Jail system
| is established so that they will be
confined apart from felons.
Chew Hing was re-arrested today by
Special officer Lake and will be pro
secuted ON another charge of violating
the gambling laws.
