dation for the battery having been re-
paired and other slight changes made,
among which was a jig classifer, in

we presume they will have patented as
soon AS they get it painted. 1t does the
work and is great success. Work
in the mine has been going steadily

it, SO long that even legends can not
trace the time back to the beginning of
the custom Ac first it was, perhaps,
intended as a recognition of the graft
tude of mankind for the harvest, day
on which they could dress their altars,
offer obIations to their gods and rejoice
over the bounties that had come to
them. But when the Christians fixed
upon it as the natal day of the Messiah,
new sacredness was attached to it and
a new joy. The appropriateness of it is
increased as the date is studied. The
longest night of the year in northern
latitudes is passed; the suu that had
been wandering farther and father away,
has halted ia it's course and has turned
back, which is promise of another
spring aud another harvest At the
same time it symbols to man an awak-

perennial spring will be his So on

the coming of the day with Joy bells
and celebrate it with all the pomp of
incense and aud organ end choir, as is
becoming to those xho accept its ira
ditions and date promise of eternal
life from it. The story in the Testament
is that at its first coming new lights
shone upon the earth, and angel voice
proclaimed the momeDtous news Of the
Savior's birth, while the singing of the
heavenly host filled the ether with joy

every anniversary of that night, and
certain it is that the instinct of man on
that day is likewise IT, sing. hence every

The Holiday season is upon ns. The
years accounts are about closed; the
time is here when the children claim
their prerogatives; when they begin to
count their treasures, when the love
they return for blessing received, en-
mobiles those who receive it, and make
them realize that the utmost they can
give is but a beggarly return for the
love that is given them, when men re-
alize that world without children
would be at best barren promontory,
upon which men would become savages
in a generation, when the songs OF
children are sweeter than flute or harp
and are in themselves a promise of the
spring with its birds and blooms, and
as men listen they become human, and
are willing To admit that when th'
world was created, it was in love and
that man himself makes all its discords

OUTLOOK FOR SETTLERS.

The Houston Post in recent issue
had the following:
E. A. Luck, representing the Cock
ley-Ldck Realty Company of. st
Louis and Chicago, who is guest at
the Macatee, is much impressed with
the outlook for settlers in the Texas
coast country during the coming fall.
The people may cry out about
financial panics all they want to, ="
said Mr.. Luck to a Post representa-
tive, but 1 want to say that the i'm
migration to Texas this fall will be
the largest in years. Our firm is
boosting the Brownsville country,
and we will take many hundreds
down there with us during the clos
ing months of 1908, and l know of
many who are going to visit other
portions of this great state as well.
We have had more inquiries about
our Texas lands during the past few
months than in any previous six
months of the firms existence, and it
must be that the people in the North
and middle west are really becoming
awaken to the fact that we have a
real, wide-awake commonwealth
down here on the gulf, and when we
get them down here they won't want
to go back, unless it is to bring their
families South. AS a good indica-
ton of how prosperous things are
with US, the firm has just placed the
largest order for printing ever placed
by one realty firm in a single season.
1t shows what we think of the coun-
try down here"
Mr. Luck said he had noticed de-
yastated districts of North Texas, and
that while it was of course to be de-
plored, it would react to the benefit
of the coast country.
