Monte cristo.

An audience that filled the New
Temple Theatre from bottom to top,
and such an audience as must have
done the heart of Manager Swift good,
gathered last night to witness the pre-
sentation of Monte Cristo." The play
had been literally advertised, and the
audience expected a good bill. 1t can
only be fair to say that most Of those
present were disappointed, not be-
cause the drama is not a great one,
but because the cast was inferior and
not capable of bringing the beauty of
the play out. Rodney Ranous made
fairly acceptable Monte Cristo, but
Robert Abbott as the Fisherman Cap
tain and Count Morcerf was so pain
fully weak that he tore down interest
at faster rate than the leading man
could build it up. He was undoubted-
ly the weakest character ever seen on
the local stage, and no drama could
overcome his tameness.
An especially pleasing feature of
the evening. however, and one furnish
ed by all home talent, was the orches-
ira music by the Triece orchestra.
This orchestra is composed of about
eight pieces, and the music is really
good 1t is to be hoped this IS to be
regular feature of the season.

With <he long, gray hair of his wig
tossing in the wind, his venerable
whiskers lying on his breast, his fur
cap on his head, and score of bells
tinkling as he walked, the corporal
passed up the road amidst the whirl.,

back. He entered the farm house
without knocking. The wife sat how
cred over the poor fire, and the chill
dren sat on the floor quarreling over
bit Of food. Santa Claus swung

"And you must let me gather some
wood and supply you with food" he
replied.
"No, sir. can accept nothing from
your hands,"
But the children, ma'am."
"They must suffer with me, sir"
The corporal came out to the post
and crammed haversack full of food
and returned and begged the woman
to accept it, but she was firm. She
even chided the children for the hun
cry look in their eyes. The woman
had softened bit, however, at least
towards one of us, and from that day
on little Susie was permitted to speak
and walk with the corporal. and she
did not hide from the rest of US as re-
lore. Kindness had converted her.

dulged in the hope that the woman's
pride might give way On this one
occasion, at least. The day had dragged
along unit! an hour before dusk with
everything quiet on our front, when
bushwhacker fired upon and wound
ed one of our pickets. This brought
out fresh order for vigilance, and
sergeant ard his squad beat up the
forest and captured two Confederate
soldiers who were trying to enter our
lines to visit their families. It was
known that third one had escaped,
and just after dark Corporal O'Toole
was ordered to picket the highway a
quarter of mile from our farm
house. When he had reached the spot
and posted his men he said

though our hearts were not in the
work. AS Corporal O'Toole said one
night when he turned out to head the
midnight relief:

We'll be shot If we don't, but this
turning back poor soldier who hasn't
had sight Of his wife or kids for a
couple of years, and who wants moth

with 'em, is no work for a soldier"
The day before Christmas the cor
poral made UP haversack of food,
brought out a few simple toys and a
box of candy he had sent up to Wash
ington for, and he put on wig and
false whiskers and showed himself off
as pretty good Santa Claus. He had

and I'll play Santa Claus in way to
melt her heart. Pride or no PRIDE she
can't stand up agin Christmas. I'll fill

Three days before Christmas we got
orders on the front to be unusually

big, good-natured and always wearing
smile on his face, who broke down
the womanly reserve of the little ten
year-old girl He found her half a
mile from home one day and she was
so overcome with the cold th--t she
made no resistance when he picked
her up in his arms and carried her to
the house. When he kissed the frozen
tears from her cheeks and said he
had left kid Of her age back in the
North who was motherless, the child
reached up and put her arms around
his neck. The corporal had conquered

A Soldier Santa Claus.
BY M. QUAD.


Just outside the lines of the Third
Army Corps as we went into camp
for the winter Of 1854 was log
farm house inhabited by a woman and
three children-the wife and children
of Virginia farmer who had shoul-
dered his musket and marched away
with the Confederates two years be-
fore. There were other farm houses
further away-other farm houses in
front Of other corps-hundreds of 9TH
er Confederate war-widows and help
less children on that neutral ground,
and we of the blue used to pity them
as the nights came down dark and
lonely and the north winds made one
shiver and chill. We were not war
ring against women and children, and
yet war had laid heavy hand on
them. Their scant crops had been
trampied into the earth-their live
stock driven off-their fences and
barns burnsd-little left to satisfy
their hunger or cover their nakedness.
Many soldiers rations were divided
with gaunt-faced women and wolfish-
looking children, and If it was aiding
and comforting the enemy we were
willing to take the chances.
The farm house have especially
referred to was not different from
many others. but the woman and chill
dren were different. We offered again
and again, but they would accept no
food at our hands. Now and then
the men on picket near the house saw
the children searching in the frozen
ground for potatoes, or the woman
digging roots and wandering afar for
stray ears of corn, but when coffee,
bacon, sugar and bareback were Of
fered them in kindness they turned
away their heads. Even If left on the
doorstep the food was not taken in.
We were their enemies. They were
hungry and cold and ragged, but they
could not conscientiously accept aid at
our hands. 1t was only when Com
pany "B" of the Tenth took its turn
on outpost duty near the house that
we got a word from woman or chill

The festival OF the twelfth month
Is not, as the name would indicate, ex-
clusively Christmas holiday. It was
celebrated In much the same fashion
as 1t is now centuries before the Chris

celebrated as the saturnalia, or festi-
val to Saturn, and was married by the
prevalence of merry-making among
all classes. ricn. poor, old and young.

and the frightened children gasped
out ordinations OF Joy. Then he
placed his haversack on the table and
was turning away without a word
when the woman rose up and said:

corporal. I'll thank you kindly.

"But this food" she said. Il cannot

''You must. Confound it, woman!

In an instant, and before anyone had
moved or spoken he turned to the
woman and said:
Its Christmas eve and I present
you with your husband and my best
wishes!"
He strobe to the other door and
opened it and passed out to run into
the arms Of Jones, who had hurried up
to say:
Corporal, I've just tracked one Of
them Confeds to this house, and he's
now inside!"
"Jones!" exclaimed the corporal as
he laid his big fist against the others

There's Fourth O. July 18th its fireworks
An crackers, an rockets that hiss;
It's a glorious day in it's noisy old way.

Thanksgivin', 18th spareribs an turkey.
18th pies of about ever kind;
18th its apples to eat an it's cider SO
sweet,
Is bully old day, to my mind
But about all there's to 1t is dinner
An when you're filled up that's bore,
But you get big dinner at Chris mas,
An my! such lot of things more!
There's presents of toys that are pretty;
OF books most delightful to read;
OF skates fer to slide. an bicycles to
ride
Cleared up to wonderful speed
An then there are bags full of candy,
An sugar plums long 18th the rest!
So, of all holidays that you long fer an
