CHRISTMAS TIMES.
BY JOE OREGON.

BY JOE OREGON. Some people long for summer time While others wish for spring, But we devote our song and rhyme To joys the winters bring. To rally forth, our lungs expand, And fill them with ozone We gladly rise at early morn, The frost air gives us tone. There's business in the truth this fall; What is that whistling sound? Why that's the brown quails' piping
 call,
 Go get the shotgun down. We'll amble down the cellar stair When daddy gives the wink, There's wine of this years vintarge
 there,
 Sweet cider, too, to drink. And apples of the kind you seek, All glowing red and ripe, Like bushes on sweet Mary's cheek When Johnny comes in sight. There's yellow yams and sugared
 hams,
 In boxes and in rows; No summer meat is half so sweet, That anybody knows. Our glances swerve to sweet preserves And pumpkins, glowing yellow, Of pies and cakes that mother makes To memories wakes a fellow. Your stomach begs fresh milk and
 eggs,
 There's plenty on the shelf. Your appetite at such a sight Awake, go help yourself. From somewhere near comes to the
 ear,
 What is that voice we hear: Fat turkeys gobbling in the pen And Christmas drawing near, Oh, such a maize there holidays Of pleasures and good cheer, It makes us wish that Christmas time Could last for half the year.

The death of Lincoln J. Newell on
 the morning of the l4th inst, has re-
 moved a loving husband, a kind
 friend, a worthy and high minded citizen, man universally beloved by his fellows and a favorite of all who came in contact in a business or social way. His death, while unex- pected to many, came as a shock to others who only knew that he was confined to his rooms, believing that his indisposition was temporary only and that his permanent recovery was but a question of few months. MT. Newell was born in Bloomington, Hi nois, March 16, 1867. He received a high school education and after graduation worked in the Pullman shops in Chicago, and through natural ability, tact and application became one of the most expert work men in his line in the great aggrega- tion of mechanics at Pullman, Ill. In the Illinois National Guard he rose to lieutenancy, and on his arrival in Silver City at once became identi- fled with the local militia company and quickly rose to the rank of cap tain, owing to i'll health retired with the rank of major. For three years past Major Newell was a co-partner with w. s. Cox in the tinware and plumbing business, and as such merit ed and enjoyed the confidence of all with whom he had business relations.

The Need of Two Rifles.

A few years ago many hunters
could be found who were quite content
with one rifle, the same being used to
clip q grouse's head or to stop a
grizzly, as occasion demanded. But,
speaking for the majority, it is en-
tirely different tOday-One rifle filling
the requirements of but comparatively
few. OF course there are many rifles
that can be had in various calibers
that are often spoken Of as the "all-
round" and various charges of shot
from them give very satisfactory results
these various charges being desig-
mated for different purposes. Still.
the fact remains that most hunters re-
quire at least two rifles-One for large
game. and the other for small. There
fore. in discussing hunting rifles, they
may be classified as two distinct types.
While one could use a AS to decapitate
d grouse or shoot at jackrabbit's eyes,
the same gun would be very poor
weapon to stop the grouse when on
the wing. or check the career Of the
"jack' when going at railroad speed.
Simply because instances could be cited
of the 90 having often killed deer or
(under favorable conditions) even large
game, there are none who would choose
such miniature arm for such work
exclusively. Therefore. as has already
been mentioned, the majority of shoot
ers will require at least two rifles

THE MYSTERY OF SLEEP,
Marvellous Recuperative Value of a
Long Rest in Bed.

At the climax of our powers from
one-third to one-half of our whole life
is spent in sleep, and in our infancy
nearly all our. time is given to it. Yet,
strange to say, while every human be-
ing from the time Of Adam until this
hour has known sleep from actual eX-
perience, no man can accurately define
or explain it.
1t cannot be wholly fatigue that in
duces sleep, else why should the feeble
octogenarian sleep least and the infant
who does nothing in particular, sleer
many times as much as its grand
parents? Even modern science is
most vague on this battling subject
and finds no better use for it than
''the repair Of wasted tissues"
Unquestionably research with the
microscope does prove that fatigue, in
some degree at any rate exhausts and
vitiates the nerve cells. while rest and
sleep appear to restore them to the
normal. When Lord Bougham re-
turned home after his brilliant and ex.
haustive defense of Queen Caroline he
retired at once to bed almost in n stats
of collapse and gave orders that he
was not to be disturbed on any ac-
count. no matter how long he should
sleep. His lordship's household obey
ed; but their. amaZement grew into
positive terror when the young
advocates map" had prolonged itself
forty-eight hours! Brougham's physi-
clan afterward declared this marvel
Gus sleep was natures own remedy for
relieving a terrible mental strain and
had certainly warded off some serious
brain disorder
But, then, every one of us at least
knows the marvellous recuperative
value Of long sleep. And yet all this
time digestion, respiration and many
other vital functions are in full power
just as in the waking hours. Only the
senses and the higher cerebral mani
festatiOns are less active.
1t seems clear we need more than
three or four times as much nourish-
ment while awake than asleep. And
yet we wake in the morning without
either hunger or faintness such as in
variably accompany a long waking
fast. Moreover, the first morning
meal is ordinarily the lightest Of the
day, with people free to consult their
own tastes In these matters.
How shall we explain this strange
discrepancy in the action of the
stomach by day and by night? 1t is
no answer that we work in the day,
hence waste and hunger; for the same
craving for food during the day is ex-
perienced by a person taking little or
no physical exercise as by the brick
layer, foundryman, or other worker
engaged in the hardest manual toll.
Obviously. then, condition OF
things has been superinduced in sleep
which involves not only a discon-

Modern Historical Fiction.

1t is certainly reasonable to expect
that tie gains of modern historical
study should in some measure enrich
historical fiction also; that the novelist
should benefit by the new light thrown
by research upon the motives of great
men and upon the conditions with
which they had to deal, and especially
that he should not misrepresent,
through carelessness or ignorance, the
main significance of the periods he pro-
