ISOLATED Charities, in 9 street, 20 get
his daily mail. wniyh is sent there from
The Times, but thought he would drop
IN the office on his way back 10 Toy
land, and leave a word OF good cheer
Nobody saw the genial old fairy king,
but he left q message tackled up on the
wall of the editorial room. which read:

up your stockings on Christmas Eve,
and before your eyes have hardly closed

But he wouldn't have caught Santa,

habit OF hiding away and then bObbinE
up just when he is least expected. The
only time he ever takes a risk is on
Christmas Eve. and then he is quite

TWO GOOD MEN

The reelection of Charles Hughes
to the governship of New York will
be extremely satisfactory to all who
have " atched his course during his
occupancy of the executive office. He
has stood fearlessly for all that is
good in politics and been brave in his
fight for civic righteousness and hon.
est methods. During the campaign
which closed Tuesday evening, he
maintained calm dignity never
thinking of his own election. but ac-
tive for the success of policies which
would be for the moral and material
welfare of all the people of the nation.
The same can be truthfully said of
Herbert w. Hadley, the republican
elected governor of Missouri, who, as
attorney general has fought wrong
doing and demonstrated that he could
be trusted and the voters of his state
irrespective of party have rewarded
HIM for mis- honesty and fearlessness
In the discharge of his duties. The
people are thinking and are acting
more independently in the discharge
of their political duties, which ls an
encouraging sign and it is to be devot-
edly hoped for, that in the near future
unprincipIed, self-seeking politicians
will get what is coming to them, good
and plenty.

THOUGHTS BY HE WAY.

God reigns and the country is safe
now get a hustle OH yourselves. Pros
perity is only matter of confidence
and the result of the election has re-
stored confidence.
1t is time that calamity how lers in
all of the political parties were sent
into retirement. Much of the trouble
has been the result of the prophets OF
evil.
Gompers did not deliver the goods
ard was not as great man as he i'm
agined he was. He can now drop out.
David, friend, was too sanguine
the day before election and attempted
to stampede the sold Man. but it
was no go, as he had pointers and
knew that his laugh was coming.
William j. Bryan is a pretty good
man and the writer is sorry for him,
but would have felt much worse had
he been elected.
