 He has now extended it to include an 11-room house for his own family and the whole property would have cost s30.000 if 1t had been built by contract. As built by Rev. Mir. Schwarz and his fellow laborers 1t will cost less than S25 900 The other sl5,O00 has been saved to his people by the perseverance. energy and in genuity of the pastor
 The first charge that Mr Schwarz took when he left the theological seminary was at ConnersYlle Ind For six years he remained there and was called to Omaha three years ago on recommendation from one of his instructors in the theological school
 At that time the First German Presbyterian was small frame church. As soon as the new pastor came he announced that the church was too small To build church with a membership of so seemed out of the question to all but the pastor He thought he knew a way and he set about it with almost no support, at first. from the others
 For year he sought for a suitable location and finally purchased the lot the new church is on for $l.S0O When he bought this tract the fund which he drew from amounted to s57. His first move was to sell the old church for $1 $50 As soon as the lot was paid for he shouidered a spade and replacing his ministerial dignity with grim and effective energy he began to dig The first thing that a church needed was a foundation. He had no money. but he could make the foundation himself and that would be one step toward 1t.
 He asked for contributions from friends outside of Omaha and waited for his own people to contribute vol. untarily. The dollars came slowly but they came with sufficient steadi. ness to assure him that he could make a few purchases for a start While walking on the street one day he saw that in repairing the street the old curbs were being taken up These are good blocks" said the pastcr-builder. and he bargained with the contractor to take them of his hands. That stone went into the foundation

dows full of toys and the eager faces
| of many happy children. The re-
porter, on his rounds. sees faces I'M
touched by Christmas hope and cheer,
| meets people who buy only bread and
bacon for Christmas presents and are
| thankful they have shelter at night
and a fire in the house.
This omission of Christmas cheer
from the lives of grown up folks is
bad enough, though they may be
partly to blame for their poverty, but
when the little folks are denied some
thing to which they are entitled as the
finest thing in their childhood, that is
hard, very hard. The kiddies can not
help 1t because they are poor. They
can not understand why it is that
Santa Claus passes them by and stops
at other homes and leaves toys in
abundance. To them this discrimina-
ton is as unsolved as is the insoluble
problem of eternity to the scientist
living on this side of the life line.
Christmas came happily this year to
one home on the West side and this
afternoon the little boy of that home
loaded his presents onto a sled to
carry them down the street and show
them to a playmate. Santa Claus had
been good to him. His papa is wealthy
and had a fine home. The boy was
richly dressed in furs and velvet. Half
way to his destination he met another

stopped unconsciouSly a few PAGES
from each other and, as boys will,
took an inventory. one of the other.
The rich mans son saw before him
boy of his own age whose face looked
not unlike his own. But here the like
ness stopped. The boy in front of
him was dressed in nondescript and
ragged garments and there were few
OF them He had no overcoat and
his stockings were torn so that his
hare legs h1Irn in ha fy,ta
Even as he stood he lifted one ragged
shoe and rubbed his cold shins with
his foot AS for Christmas presents,
the strange boy had no thought or
hope of such a thing.
The boy in the furs and velvet had
SO many that he could not carry them
in his arm and had loaded the sur
plus on his sled. The boy in rags
only glanced at the boy in furs. His
look quickly wandered to the toys in
the other boys arms and on his sled
His eyes widened as he gazed at this
PERCUSSION of presents and there was
hunger and longing in their depths
Then the two boys passed each other
and went their separate ways
They did not know it, but they had
unconscfously fulfilled the prophecy
Given"
To each boy the other was an
enigma The boy in furs doubtless
wondered idly why it was that the
other boy was dressed so thinly in
snch cold weather and why he had no
toys at all. The boy in rags searched
his soul for the reason why the other
boy had so many toys and he had
none at all. Environment over which
neither boy had the least control had
lifted one boy up to the skies of hap
piness and had placed heavy hand of
misery upon the other boy.
The contrast was so great. The
actors in the tragedy had had so little

GOMPERS' COMEBACK.
He Criticises Both judicial and Execu-
tive Departments.

Washington, Dec. 25.-Samuel Comp
ers. president of the American Fedora
ton of labor, published a vigorous edi-
torial this month in the Federationist,
the official organ of labor body against
both the action of the supreme court
of the District of Columbia and the
recommendation in Taft's message to
congress with reference to the necessity
for notice and hearing before injunc-
ton writs are granted.
Both the action of the court and the
recommendation of the president are
criticised. The former on the ground
that it was without sanction of the
law and the latter for the alleged rea-
son that the president did not advocate
anything that could be attached to an
existing law or modify it,
After sketching the appeal touching
On the petition of the writ of certiorari
from the prison sentence imposed on
GOmperS, Morrison and Mitchell, which
wes granted by the supreme court and
the opinion of Justice Shepard of the
supreme court of the District, Mr..
GomperS says:
How any intelligent man can read
these documents without being inspir-
ed by the liveliest hope for the success
of labors cause. it is difficult to see.
The clearer the whole matter is placed
before the mind without the lesser and
irrelevant points with which our op-
ponents' arguments bristle the palmer
is the way seen to a just judgment"
Referring to President Taft's recon-
mendation. Mr.. Gompers declares it
proposes no improvement on existing
law, because he alleges no such law ex-
lists.

years ago. In addition to her railroad
duties she has a large private practice.
AS surgeon for the railroad Dr. Her
zog has gone through many trying ex-
periences. but in no instance was there
the slightest falter in the quick and
effective performance of her work. She
was born in Vienna. Austria and came
to the United States in 1886. She studied
medicine and surgery and after her
graduation practiced her profession in
New York state for nine years, then
removing to Brazonia. where she has
lived ever since.
During the construction of the ST.
Louis, Brownsville & Mexico railroad
she was called to attend the injuries
of laborers hurt in accidents and her
skill in these cases caused her fame
as surgeon quickly to spread, with the
result that she was appointed surgeon
for the road.
