A Christmas Story

A long time ago, we are told; the
midnight silence Of the Judean hills
and the midnight darkness which en-
veloped them were alike dispelled,
the one by serapLic voices and the
other by radiant light, while into
ears of earth's poor and lowlY was
poured message of peace and good
will. Poor earth was racked by tu-
multi and uncertainty. The world by
wisdom of its own knew not God, and
when the Creator swept his fingers
oyer the keyboard of creation and the
deep, full, sonorous diapason of glory
pealed forth, there was one discord.
ant noto 1t was earth. So the first
Christmas was inaugurated and the
keynote of Christmas is peace and
good will is self. .forgetfulness, and
words and deeds of help and cheer.
And out of this grows our own hap
piness. The most elusive nymph in
fairyland is Happiness sought for
her own sake. But sought that she
may be conferred on others she comes
unbidden to our hearts. So on this
Christmas Eve for one and all the
Democrat most cordially houes a
peaceful happy Christmas, and es.
chews all rancor and i'll will.

No Ad Less Than 1Oc
Newspaper Seeks to Quash
 Subpoenaes to Grand Jury

NEW YORK, January l9-Acting under instructions believed to have been issued by authority of the United States government, United States Dis trict Attorney Stimson subpoenaed William B. Mclaughlin, sporting edi. tor of the world, and J. Angus Shaw, secretary of the Press Publishing com. pany, to testify before the federal grand jury in an action which was not described in the subpoenas. It was believed, however, to be the outcome of President Roosevelt s message to congress, in which he protested against the linking of the name of Charles F. Taft, brother of the president elect, and J. Douglas Robinson, the president s brother.in-law, in criticism of the canal purchase.
 The proceedings were halted by an order obtained by counsel for the World s editors, calling upon Stimson to show cause why the subpoenas should not be quashed
 A brief argument was heard by Unit ed States Circuit Judge Henry c. Ward today on the motion to quash the sub poenaes.
 Several other witnesses in whose be- half no injunction was obtained were called before the grand jury to give evidence. The first to be examined was H. II. Bjornson, who is said to be con nected with the Washington office of Sullivan & Cromwell, lawyers. Crom- well had a prominent part in the ac quisition of the Panama canal Mir. Bjornson said he was questioned as to whether the firm of Sullivan & Crom- well offered to pay for suppressing stories about the canal. He said he replied that he knew nothing about it, as he was otherwise engaged at the time After further arguments orders to show cause why the subpoenaes against the World men to testify before the federal grand jury should not be quashed, coun- sel this afternoon agreed to submit memoranda to Judge Ward at four O clock tomorrow afternoon.

BOSTON -b|SBEE HAS TAKEN OVER
 MODERN STOCK
BIG CAPITAL NOW BEHIND COM PANY AND WORK ON PROPERTY WILL BEGIN AT oNCE-FOR- MFR MANAGEMENT OUT.

BTSBEE, January l9.-There was d meeting of the stockholders of the Mod. ern Copper Mining company yesterday at the Copper Queen hotel, at which several of the officers and directors were present. The meeting was post poned meeting for the purpose of con sdering a proposition of selling the property of that company to the Boston. Bisbee company.
 The proposition which was made aud accepted conveys the property of the Modern to the Boston Bisbee for $l ,000,- chasing company is to assume all indebt edness of the Modern and to resume op- erat.ons at once. The stock which is to be exchanged for the Modern prop erty is to be held in escrow in one of the banks in Ithaca, New York, until October l, 1912.
 It is understood that the stock which is to be issued will have the signature of James Schoolcraft sherman, vice president-ele of the United States. With Sherman at the head of the Bos. ton. Bisbee, it would suggest that this company will have ample funds to ear " on the work.
 The Modern has been worked from time to time for the past eight years and some very good ore has been taken out. Financial difficulties have been a serious obstacle to the progress of the company and is the cause of the delay in developing the mine. There has also been considerable litigation, which has been expensive, and many who have held stock in the company have been very much disgusted with the manner in which things have been carried on. It is to be hoped that the new arrange ments will prove successful and that the property will have a chance to show what it contains and whether it is an other of the big paying properties in the Warren district. The property is located about twelve miles west of Bis bee One of the original locators and a heavy stockholder is MT. Harsha, of Bisbee.
