CHRISTMAS HONE WITH MOTHER.


Christmas in the city, with its street.
OF Eghtashine;
Christmas in the castle, with 50 many
things and fine;
Christmas in the village, with its
neighbors on the street,
And friendship smiling at you from
the lips you love to meet;
But Christmas home with mother
you may take away the rest,
And give me that for gladness that is
tenderest and best!
Christmas home with mother as it
used to be, you know,
In lies divine reyerson to the dreams
oflOns ago;
The old house ringing laughter from
the lips of chick and child,
The old dreams dancing after in the
hearts just fairly wild,
And the rOmping. ringing reyel, and
the dinner with itssmells
Of the old familiar dishes with their
haunting homespun spells!
Turn back again, oh, marchers in the
ranks that lead away
From Christmas home with mother
to the fields of fame and fray!
The triumph may be tempting and
the victory fine and sweet,
But Christmas home with mother
makes the heart forget the street
And the roaring world around one,
and the new life for the old,
And its fanfare and its tinsel and its
gilt without the gold!
Christmas home with mother-'tis a
dream to make one creep
To the attic as in childhood for a lit
tie childhood sleep;
And the waking at her calling, and
the marching single file
To the Christmas in the parlor with
our faces wreathed in smile
At the tender expectatiOn-how it
CLOVIS within US yet
Of the things we said we wanted and
the things we knew we'd get!
Christmas home with mOther-when
it's train time let me know,
For my heart has bought ticket to
the days of long ago,
And | have lost the city, with its
splendor and its CLEAN,
In the Christmas home with mother
that has come to be my dream
The old house and childhood, and her
sweet face waiting there,
For the phantom sons and daughters
single file upon the stair!

HOUR BY HOUR


One single day.
Is not so much to look upon. There
Is some way
OF passing hours of such a limit.
We can face
A single day; but place
Too many days before sad eyes
Too many days for smothered sighs-
And We lose heart
Just at the start.
Years really are not long, nor lives
The longest which suviyes-
And yet to look across
A future We must tread bowed by a
sense of loss,
Bearing some burden weighing down
SO low
That we can scarcely go
One step ahead; this is so hard,
So stern view to face, unstarred,
Untouched by light, so masked with
dread.
If We could take step ahead,
Be brave and keep
The feet quite steady: feel tie
breath of life
Sweep over our face again.
We must not look across-looking
in vain
But downward to the next close ster,
And up. Eyes that have wept
Must look a little way; not far.
God broke the years to hours and
days,
That hour by hour
And day by day.
Just going on little way,
We might be able all along
To keep quite strong.
Should all the weights of life
Be laid across our shoulders, and
the future rife
With woe and struggle, meet US face
to face
At just one place,
We could not go;
Our feet would stop; and so
God lays little on US all the way
Will burdens bear so deep,
Or pathways lie so steep,
But We can go, if by Gods power
We only bear the burden of the
hour.

DUELS FOR HIS WIFE.
Husband is Killed by Man Who Was
His Rival.

New Orleans. July 13.-A bloody
duel between husband and the man
charged with being responsible for
the alienation of his wife's affections
was graphically told of by Carl Ber-
tuna, slayer of John Knecht, here
today, according to police records.
Bertuna, who was employed by
Knecht, baker, killed the latter
Thursday.
''Knecht said to me that his wife
thought more of me than she did of
him, and we would have to fight it
out" Bertuna is quoted as declaring.
"He attacked me and we fought il
out i'm the back room. / struck him
down and then went and told Mrs.
Knecht what had done. Together
we went down and viewed the body,
and she then gave me money enough
to leave town"
Bertuna was captured last night in
Mobile. He made no effort against
being brought back to New Orleans
today.
