that night. he found himself standing
before his own gate.
He carted the tree around to the
back door, and with Mrs. Philander's
help it was taken into the house and
set up in the parlor.
Mr.. Philander thawed himself out in
front of the kitchen stove and quaffed
fragrant coffee that his grateful wife

DRAGGED IT TRAILING THROUGH THE SNOW.

Dear. dear! think the children
prefer a tree just the same said Mrs.
Philander regretfully. Poor little Tom
my Taylor We must invite him over
to see the children's tree this after
noon"
'Yes. indeed, that will be an excel
lent plan. Suppose we invite few
people to spend the evening and enjoy
the tree with us. We can put on some
small remembrances and have jolly
time" said Philander, warming up to
the subject as he proceeded.
That will be delightful" agreed
Mrs Phiander. LET us ask the Tay-
lors."
"Sure. we'll ask them chuckled
phiiander. "I'll show Taylor the way
to keep Christmas"
That afternoon Mrs. Philander busted
herself in preparing for the evenings
entertainment. The Taylors had ac-
cepted gladly. and so had the other in
vited guests, and Mr.. Philander, who
was the soul of hospitality, walked
about and rubbed his hands with pleas
ant anticipation.
He made sundry trips to the cellar
for apples and cider and cracked great
bowls of nuts. He carried in huge
arm loads of wood for the fireplace and
surveyed the roaring blaze with com

lander. Mrs. Taylor told me it was
the pride Of her husbands heart"
How did 1t happen, JackY asked
Philander with interest
''Mr. Taylor said his wife heard some
one chopping about half past II last
night, but she didn't think anything of
it, and this morning they found the
tree was gone-only the stump left"
That's very strange" observed Mr..
Philander Hard luck for Taylor"
And, father, continued Jack ear
nestly. 81 was in the woods on Turkey
hill road today and that little tree we
saw last Sunday is there yet. You
didn't cut it down. l knew that one
wasn't it,
Mr.. Philander paled slightly.
"Why, father" pursued the terrible
Jack with a dirertness born of sudden
revelation, "this is Mr.. Taylor's tree!

Mr.. Philander shrank from their hor-
rified gaze.
''The Taylors will be here in few
minutes, James" said Mrs. Philander
coldly.
"My dear, l must have got turned
around in the storm, but the LORD
only knows how l got in Taylor's
yard
'Its on the other side of the woods,
father" said Jack sympathetically,
land guess you walked right through
and into Mr.. Taylor's yard"
81 must have done that" groaned
Mr.. Phllander. Then with sudden in
spiration he stripped the tree. of its
ornaments and candles and carried 1t
through the house into the back yard.
He scratched a match. and in five min
utes the Philander Christmas tree was
charred ruin.
"Too bad old chap" said Taylor
commiseratively as Phlander agi-
tatedly explained the absence of the
tree. That's one reason why l don't
believe in Christmas trees. They are
apt to take fire, and there you are

But all the little Philanders agree
that it was the most beautiful Christ

Life III a metropolis makes young
children sharp, but not clever. 1t often
destroys their chance of ever being
clever. for it hastens the development
of the brain unnaturally; 1t makes
them superficial, alert but not observ'
ant; excitable, but without one spark
of enthusiasm. They are apt to grow
blase, tickle, discontinued. They see
more things than the country brec
child but not such interesting things
and they do not properly see anything
for they have neither the time nor ca
pacity to get at the root of all the be
wildering objects they crowd into theil

"There isn't a thing for you to do,
dear, save to hang them on the tree"
said his wife, leading the way to the
lighted parlor, where the tree Stood

the light and exuding a fresh balsamic

"By Jove, it is the handsomest tree

der, surveying the shapely confer ad-

They were soon at work. and pres
emily the beautiful tree blossomed
forth in glistening festoons of gold and
silver tinse. A radiant star tipped
the highest point, while daintily dec
grated gifts burdened the branches and
were heaped at the base.
1t was with unusual satisfaction that
the Philanders retired that night. They
were 10th to leave the resplendent tree,
but utter WEAKNESS drove them to bed
1t was daylight when the first de-
lighted Shrek from a small Philander
awoke his tired parents. Mr.. Philan-
der groaned dismally. He ached from
head to foot, and he was sick from
lack of sleep. Mrs. Philander was
equally tired; but with the self alb
negation of mothers in general and
mothers in particular on Christmas
morning. she got up and went down
stairs to enter into the joys of the hap
by children.

tragedy, occurred in Salt Lake early
this morning, reports OF which are as
follows:
Emil Glaser. special policeman,
and Pietro Macarilli, an Italian, were
probably fatally wounded as tho re-
suit of quarrel in saloon on West
Second South street Seven shots
were exchanged, the Italian emptying
his gun at the officer and the officer
shooting twice
According to eyo-witnesses who
were In the saloon at the time the
argument started. Macarilli and two
companions were standing at the bar
drinking They were also discussing
the soldiers who had enlisted In the
Spanlsh-American war. and Macarilli
said that he had been a soldier and
seemed proud of the fact. At this
point of the discussion, Special Po-
llceman Glaser stepped up to the bar
and, after listening to the argument
for a few minutes. took part In it. He
is reported TO have made sighting re-
marks to the Italian, who resented
the imputations. Blows followed and,
in the midst OF the scuffle. the Italian
seized his beer glass and tossed the
contents into the face of the police
man. He then ran out OF the saloon,
followed by Glaser. The following
moment those inside the saloon heard
the shots. and rushing out, saw both
men lying on the sidewalk,
After darting out OF the saloon and
running down the street for short
distance, Chaser says, Macarilli drew
his gun and. turning, emptied 1t. Ae-
cording to Glaser, the first two shots
took effect and he fell TO the side
