delight. He would not lose a word
mot a syllable.
Once the boy, out of sheer excite
ment, began to whimper. Then Old
Sam was overwhelmed with despair,
and in the interest misery and con-
Germ nearly killed himself in the way
of grimaces and acrobatic feats in
dispelling the slight cloud.
After breakfast he took him, wrap
ped inside his coat, for a walk in the
park and, needless of the laughter and
plying smiles of the crowd, pointed
out to the child everything worthy of
note-even to the stone of Achilles.
Trotting, jumping, running, hopping,
he proceeded in every possible atti-
tude to win smiles and laughter from
his precious burden.
Then they returned to dinner.
With what delight the old man set
out the piece of beef which he had
brought brown and smoking from the
bakers; how he welcomed every
sign of pleasure on the childish
face. and to what a pinnacle
of ecstacy did his joy and exultation
raise when the pudding was uncovered
and the child actually clapped it's
hands and shouted with delight!
Oh, spirit of Christmas, linger long
in that little room, and pour down
upon the gentle heart which beats
within the deformed and dwarfed body
of the little shoemaker, that JOY and
peace which only thou canst give!

HOUSES LISTEN TO
TAFFS MESSAGE
DOCUMENT WILL BE DIssEcTED
LATER-BUT LITTLE
CRITICISM.

Washington, Dec. 8.-Having re-.
ceived the presidents message, con-
gress yesterday found itself "out of
work" and both houses adjourned I'M
til Friday, when if some of the COM
mittees fail to provide something to
do an adjournment will be taken until
Monday.
The reading of the message con-
sumed an hour and half in each
house. The house then adjourned and
the senate afterward held an execu-
tive session. The repuDncans seemed
to agree that the message was as sat
isfactory a document as the president
could prepare and remain consistent
with the partys campaign pledges.
The democrats approved the presl-
dents effort to economic, but depre-
Gated his suggestion that the Monroe
doctrine practically has become obso-
lete. Representative Clark, the min
GRITTY leader, thought that about all
that could he said about.the message
was that it was comparatively brief
as the discussion of almost all inn
pOrtant matters is relegated to special
message"
In both houses the printed message
was subjected to a careful scrutiny.
but the members paid little attention,
to the penfunctory reading by the.
clerks. In both branches the message
will be prepared for .vivisection,' by
the various committees whose bust
ness it. is to deal with various sub.
jects discussed.
Won't interfere With Macveagh..
While the impression prevails;
among the members of congress that
there should be thorough investigar
ton OF the customs service as a re-
suit OF the sugar frauds discovered.
there seems to be no disposition to.
take the matter out of the hands OF
the treasury department and the de-.
pa.ndment of Justice.
Senate Wants to Know.
The senate called upon President
Taft yesterday to furnish information
concerning the action taken under the
treaty of March 1, 1906, for the sup
preston of the white slave trade.

Taft's speech, delivered at Winona,

one of the University law school boys,
III. A. Bergman, who graduated in 1908,

this state. He entered into partnership
with j. A. Sorley, who formerly prac-

TWO CHARTERS ASKED FOR.
Both Are Clubs and Both From
Crawford County.

Application was made today for
charters by two companies from
Crawford county and if the incorpor-
ators adhere strictly to the objects
set forth in their application the at
torney general will never be called
upon to Dust them from the state
The first application is from Radley
and the organization styles itself the
Bowling Alley club of Radley and
certifies that it is being formed for
the purpose of playing handbalL
bowling, promoting, physical culture
and playing chess and dominoes and
other games to promote the welfare
of the club except prize fighting and
gambling
The other club applying for cor
porate charter styles itself Fleming
No. 10. located also in Crawford
county and it's application alleges
that this club was formed for the
purpose of playing handbaI, chess,
checkers, dominoes and other games
not for pecuniary profit" gun club
will also be conducted in conjunction
with these harmless games
1t may be expected that Crawford
county, as result of these clubs. will
soon begin to produce contenders in
the chess and checker tournaments
of the world.
