ChrastHnas Cards.

The Christmas card as we know 1t has
an origin easily traceable, and it is doubt
less at least sixty years since the first
was designed The artist who claimed
to be its originator and who was, at any
rate, the FIRST to see its possibilities was
W. G. T. Dobson, R. A., who, when quite
a young man, in 1874, was prompted at
Christmas to make little sketch sym
bolic of the seasons joys and festivities
and to send it to a friend. 1t seemed
to give great pleasure, and the next year
Mr.. Dobson determined to follow up the
idea on larger scale, and by having his
card photographed was enabled to senc
copies to twenty-five or thirty friends
The delight with which they were received
was so great that Mr.. Dobson was quich
to perceive that he had found out new
pleasure for Christmas.-New York Mai

his family felt the difference.
He could not keep his secret until morn

Here are some little things for you

they were alone, dropping the packages
carelessly on the table. She looked up
with eyes alight. and with an expression
which told him he had done well, but she
being woman Of wisdom, made no Gem

Christmas and Motherhood.

motherhood. The angels on their wings
might have brought an infant Saviour to
Bethlehem without Mary's being there at
all. But, no; motherhood for all time
was to be consecrated, and one of the
tenderest relations was to be the maternal
relation, and one of the sweetest words,
mother In all ages God has honored
good motherhood. In great audience,
most of whom were Christians, l asked
that all those who had been blessed with
Christian mothers arise, and almost the
entire assembly stood up. Don't you see
how important it is that all motherhood
be consecrated ?-Talmage.

CHRISTMAS LONG AGO.

Come sing hale heigh-o
For the Christmas long ago, Il
When the old log cabin homed us
From the night Of binding snow,
And the rarest JOY held reign,
And the chimney roared amain,
With the Hrelight like beacon
Through the frosty window pane.
All! the reveI and the din
From without and from within,
The blend OF distant sleigh bells
With the blinking violin;
The muff1ed shrieks and CRIES
Then the glowing cheeks and eyes
The driving storms of greetings,
Gusts Of kisses and surprise.
Sing in again the mirth
Of the circle round the hearth,
With the rustic Sinbad telling us
The strangest tales on earth!
And the minstrel bard we knew,
With his 'Love-li-er so true,'
Likewise his Young House-k 'yarpenter,e
And Loved Henry" tool
And forgetting ne'er a thing,
Lift gladder voice and sing
OF the dancers in the Kitchen Ii
Clean from start to pigeon wing I
Sing the glory and the glee
And the joy and jubilee
The twirIing form-the quickened
breath
The sigh Of ecstasy.
But eyes that smile alone
Back into our happy own
The leaping pulse-the laughing blood
The trembling undertone!
Ho! paid us off once more,
With our feet upon the floor,
But our heads and hearts in heaven,
As they were in days Of yore.

PUBLISHED EVERY WEDNESDAY

Tomorrow is the day set for the meet ing of the Alaska Territorial Republi- can Convention at Juneau, and the anxious delegates are beginning to gather from every quarter. Much i'm portance may attach to the actions of this convention, not so much perhaps by reason oG rescI cIutious which may be adopted, but because of the oppOrtuni- tv it affords to these representative Alaskaus to show by their demeanor that they aud their friends and neigh bors are really the kind of people who are capable of self government. Some of the conventions held in Alaska have not shown this thing by any means, be- cause they were given over to horse play. Instead of using up the time of the convention in senseless wraugliug, I-, each delegate who has anything to offer which he thinks will be of bene- f to Alaska, be heard. After this is Goue. let such resolutions as may be adopted embody the best of it; and let the resolutions be free from all evi- depl- of petty strife and local jealous iss, taking a high and noble stand for Alaska. let them ring true and clear and honest.

The Holy City.

Thirty men, red eyed and diSheveled, Gued up before a judge of the San Francisco police court. It was the reg ular morning company of "drUnks and disorderlies.~ Some were old and har- dened, others hung their heads in shame. Just as the momentary disor- der attending the bringing in of the prisoners qu:esed down, strange thing happened \ slroDg, clear voice from below began singing:
 Last niglt lay a-sIeeDing,"
 There came a dream so fair
 Last nigat! It had been for them all a nightmare or a drunken stupor The song was such a contrast to the horri- b,o fact that no one could fail of sud, den shock at the thought the song sug- gested
 ''I stood in old Jerusalem,
 Beside the temple there" the song went on. The judge had paused. He made a qniet inquiry. X former member of a famous opera com. pauy. known all over the country, was awaiting trial for forgery. It was he who was singing in his cell.
 Meantime the song went on, and every man in the line showed emotion. One or two dropped on their knees; one boy it the end of the line, after desperate effort 6. seii-control, leaned aca:ust the wall, buried his face against his folded arms, and sobbed, 70, mother, motherl"
 The sobs cut to the very heart the men who heard and the song, still yelling it's way through the court room, blended in the hush, At length one man protested.
 Judge" said be, "have we got to submit to this? We're here to take our punishment, but this" He, too, ecan to sob.
 1t was impossible to proceed with ne business of ,he coU,t, yet the judge -s s TO order to stop the song. The police sergeant, after a suppressed effort to keep the men in line, stepped bs~'. and waited with the rest. The so. moved on to it's climax.
 Jerusalem, Jerusalem! Sing for the
 night Is oer
 hosauna ia the highest! Hosanna
 for evermore!"
 In an ecstasy of melody the last words rang out, and then there was silence.
 The judge looked into the faces of the men before him. There was not one who was not touched by the song; not one in whom some better i'm pulse was not stirred. He did not call the eases singly-a kind word of advice, and he dismissed them all. No man was fined or sentenced to the workhouse that morning. The song had done more good then punishment could have accomplished.-The Youths (lOmuaDio0

HOW TO MAKE RAIL-
ROADS ACT RIGHT

A good story, which is laid to the
credit of Martin L. Clardy of st.
Louis, attorney for the Missouri Pa
cific railway, is going about among
railway men just now. Mr.. Clardy
tells the story as follows:
"a pompous looking man dashed
into the general offices of the r., q
& @. railway the other day.
Where's the PRESIDENT he de-
manded of the clerk, who was doing
the Cerebrus act in the front cage
"'Just went the back way a length
ahead of a federal subpoena server,
was the reply. Wanted up in Chi
cago in Judge Lands court
Where's the general manager?
""Tied up with the interstate
commerce commission
"'Then, by heavens, where's YOU
superintendent? I've got to see
somebody
"'Sorry, but he's chasing up and
down the track tryin' to keep the
railroad and warehouse commission
ers from spottin' rotten ties
1.-THE pompous man swelled to &
purple rage. He spluttered inarti
culately for a moment and then de-
manded:
"'Well, who in HIS running this
railroad, anyhow
1.-THE clerk turned YEARLY to his
work.
"'The newspapers he said. Then
after a pause, he added: The near
est Office is just around the corner
Tell your troubles to them and they'll
nave the federal court, the interstate
commerce commission or the railroad
and warehouse commissioners make
us do 1t right away"

DIVORCE" PARTY
IS THE LATEST
Dinner Given At Newport To Bring
Together Former Husbands
And Ex-Wives.

Newport mas done so many wild
things in the way of fresh entertain
ing that it takes something unusual
to raise ripple there any more. But
the latest dinner-party idea is SO
extraordinary that it made even New
port gasp.
1t was an original luncheon given
by one of the foremost opponents OF
the trial marriage. She conceived the
idea of gathering together all the
former husbands and wives of her
little set and sending them to the
dining room to the strains of "Should
auld acquaintance be forgot" The
luncheon was pretty and touching,
with weeping cupids of Trianon IN
ices, and orange flowers and rose
mary decorations, says the Broadway
Magazine, and a toast of ''lovers
once, friends now," closed the odd
entertainment, and Newport is talk,
ing about 1t yet.

secured only few zante currants on
the surface. The real bonanzas-
bonanzas that will yield millions
are to be found high up in the great
range, probably in the bowels of the
Mount Grant itself. In every direc-
ton the canyons radiating contain
a wealth of placer. This is a redis-
covery made by the Indians and Mex
leans years ago and later found by
prospectors who clandestinely ven
tured within the confines of the re-
servation with pick and pan. When
the source of this gold is found it
will be time to begin the chronicles
