A GOOD old fashioned Christmas

A good old fashioned Christmas like
we had so long ago!
Now that's the thing I'd like to see
ag'in afore I die,
But Chris mas in the city here-it's
different, oh, my!
With the crowded hustle-bustle OF
the slushy, noisy street
An the scowl upon the faces Of the
strangers that you meet.
Oh. there's buyin', plenty Of it, Of q
lot of gorgeous toys.
An it takes a mint of money to
please modern girls an boys.
Why, I mind the time a jackknife
an toffy lump for me
Made my little heart an stockin'
lust chock full of Chris mas glee.

Charles Dickens on Christmas.

at Is a wonderful thing" wrote
Charles Dickens. 1.-The period OF Christ
mas. wonder how many hundreds
of thousands Of parents have discov-
cred ut. Christmas time, under the
magic Of the season--thrOugh some lit
tie, little thing done by son or daugh-
ter-that those they thought estranged
from them. by those things which
come bet tween. still loved them with
memory more tender than they had
dreamed Of.
IL wonder how many sons and
daughters, under the magic influence
of Christmas. have had their hearts
softenetl' so as to be moved by some
little manifestation Of love by father
or mother. which they would have
thought little of. perhaps despisee. at
any other season."

GOVERNMENT WILL
help SETTLERS
HOLDERS OF LUCKY NUMBERS
WILL BE AIDED IN SELECT
ING LANDS.

Spokane, Wash, Dec. 15.--(Spl)-
Offcial announcement is made by Su.
perintendent Witten, who had charge
of the drawings for Indian reservation
lands in eastern Washington, northern
Idaho and western Montana last Au-
gust, that those who hold numbers for
homesteads will be aided in selecting
land by estimates of values TO be
furnished by the department of the
interior
Mr.. Witten says in letter to L. G..
Monroe, secretary of the Spokane
chamber of commerce, that, although
persons holding numbers are at liber-
ty to inspect and examine the lands
in the reservations for which their
numbers are assigned, not reserved or
allotted to the Indians, this will not be
necessary before they present their
filings, as they may with reasonable
safety be guided by the estimates of
the three commissioners, who have
classified and appraised the land.
Sec; etary Monroe says that more
than rs per cent of those who secured
numbers for homesteads of 100 acres
each at the drawings last summer will
make filings.
Some of the homesteads are worth
from $4,000 to $4,000 for their timber
alone.

PORK BARREL TO.
Be AN ISSUE
Generous Patriots Are
Willing to Spend
Peoples Money.
BATTLE OF BARRELS

SPECIAL TO THE NEWS.
Washington, Dec. 15.-Pork may yet
be the cause of fight in congress.
1t Is not the kind of pork which comes
from Chicago on Kansas City in bar
rels, but the kind that comes in ap-
preparation bills FROM the capitol of
the United States and therefore the
lighting is likely to be all the hot
ter if the more decorous and states
manlike
The battle is coming over the ques-
ton of what kind of pork is to be
dispensed In congress there are two
measures, which dissected, furnish
strengthening diet for constituents OF
congress who are good but who may
need votes at home.
The rivers and harbors bill and the
public buildings bill each contributes
to the good work of retaining perfect
ly suitable men in public life.
No sooner was Representative Bart
holdt in the city than he discarded
momentarily his thoughts about ma
tional peace to state that there should
be a generous public building bill
which should carry maybe 100000
600. He is chairman of the house
committee on public buildings.
Not many days after the advent of
Mr.. Bartholdt and his Ncall. at the
White, House to talk about public
buildings, the National Rivers and
Harbors congress came down to the
capitoi $500 strong and $50,0000O0
willing The congress figured it would
jog along with this sum but stood
ready to take more.
It reused some enthusiasm and
some opposition and went away salts
fled there would be a bill. On paper
or in hotel Hobbies the rivers and har-
bors end of the pork matter looked
exceedingly good.
Within the last few days, however,
many walls from Capitol Hill have
been heard. There are a great many
members of the house whose districts
90 not hold a navigable river or a
harbor which is three feet deep and
which should be thirty. These con-
gressmen think the pork should be
put in public buildings which beau
tify nature and towns and are things
of permanence.
And now those who stand close to
the powers that be believe that there
will be only measures containing pork
at this session. IL there is to be
rivers and harbors bill there won't
be a public buildings bill and vice
versa.
