significant festival of the year.
Let US for once put aside selfish
ness and enter into the spirit OF
this occasion with the whole
heartedness that the consequence
of the great festival merits. Let
US put away the cares and wor-
ries of business; the vexatious
problems that go to harass and
and annoy US the year round,
and in remembering others, for
get self and be happy. This
glorious Yuletide comes but once
a year; it is but a little journey
to the Other Side; let US make
merry while the pulse of Gods
blessed gift of life throbs within
US.
All of us are planning to make
the occasion happy one for the
dear little ones at home-for the
husband, wife, father, mother,
sister, or brother. Let Us not
forget how meaningless this
blessed season may be to those
whom we have always with US
the poor. Let US endeavor to
see that not one of these poverty
stricken ones shall awake on the
glorious Christmas morning to
confront an empty stocking.
AS God has prospered US let US
minister to them. Let each one
of US search out some one of the
needy and make him or her hap

thing will the full realization Of
the Divine promise dawn upon

Engineer Fred Holt on Dec. 8,

Messrs. Winston & Bryant ap-
peared for Barbee while the
state was represented by the
Solicitor and ex-Solicitor Brooks.
The State introduced three
witnesses: Fireman J. J. Taylor,
R. L. Knapp and Ivan William

The first witness, Taylor, said
that when the shooting took

tell whether he was white or
colored.
The next witness, Knapp, said
that he and Bill Herndon were
coming from a lark in the coun-

for a moonshine still. When
they approached the coal shute
they saw Reuben Barbee with
something like a gun in his
hands and spoke to him and that

O'MALL.EY WINS
HIS FREAK Bet
TRIP FROM CHICAGO TO IRELAND
IN LESS THAN A WEEK FOR
$1,000 WAGER.

Chicago. Dec 23--In his sensational
race to Ireland which began at the
Coliseum last Tuesday morning at
2::30 o'clock, Pat O'Malley, the Clark
street saloonkeeper, is winner OF the
$1,000 wager made with Jim"
O'I@ary. the stoclyards gambler.
O'Malley arrived at Ballyagran,
County Limerick, the end of his jour
ney at 1870 o'clock this morning, Lon
don time. The time limit was $50
o'clock, SO he had an hour to spare
Fastest Trip Ever Made.
His trip from Chicago to Queens
town is the fastest ever made between
those points on the eastbound journey,
and only once has it been exceeded
by a westbound passenger. O'Malley
left Chicago at 8 o'clock last Tuesday
morning, and arrived in Queenstown
at II o'clock last night, London time.
In travelling eastward he lost six
hours, so the actual time consumed
was 1881 hours.
On account of the heavy weather
the last day OF his trip was far be-
hind the Lusitania's schedule. At II
o'clock in the morning the Cunard
line was ITO miles off Browhead, and
under ordinary conditions would have
made Queenstown at 8 o'clock in the
evening.
It was three hours later when
O'Malley stepped from the tender on
the dock at the Irish port.
Auto in Waiting,
A big sixty horse power machine
was waiting for him. and the drive
across the country to Ballyagran was
made in two and half hours. The
distance from Queenstown to Bally-
agran is between fifty and fifty-five
miles.
O'Malley's arrival at Queenstown
was made known to O'Leary by a two
word cablegram, which said:
"You LOSE
OLeary received the message about
$50 o'clock last evening, Chicago
time. An pour later Stevens
O'Malleys manager received what
purported to be a cablegram from Bal.
lyagran.
The message conveyed the informa
ton that O'Malley had arrived at his
home in County Limerick at 1890
p. IN.
A short time after Stevens received
the message one of OLeary's friends
called at O'Malley's saloon and offer
ed to bet $4,000 to $1,000 that
o Malley would not reach the end Of

OLeary grew out of a glass Of cham
payne last Tuesday morning at the
First ward ball. O'Leary told
O'Malley that he would be a long
time in Ireland before he would have
wine to drink.
The latter resented the remark, and
on the impulse of the moment offered
to bet O'Leary that he could be at his
old home in Ireland inside of week
drinking wine with his parents, whom
he had not seen in twenty years.
OLeary took him up and half an
