| Warm southern wind, blow softly here;
Gr4en sod above. lie light, lie light,
God night, dear heart: good night, good

WHAT CHRISTMAS MEAHST TOME
BY AN OLD BACHELOR.
Christmas to me means opportunity

-CQflStudS 70 ne means opportunity.
For what?
Opportunity for kindness.
1t is perhaps fifteen years since re-
ceived a Christmas present. I'm an
old bachelor. and nobody remembers
me. Yet that doesn't make me glum
and grouchy at Christmas-no, Stree.
I'm not particularly fond of children.
Maybe if I were I would have mar
ried and raised few Of my own. Still,
I don't dislike the little ones, and ev-
cry year I run across a lot Of boys and
girls who have no Santa Claus Of thGr
own-little' orphan fellows and fod's
poor. Well, when Christmas spmes
along I remember these children. I'm
their Santa Claus in small way.
Last Christmas spent 50 and made
nearly forty children happy. I've got
a ten dollar bill laid up to spend in
the same way this Christmas. and II!
bet anybody another ten that the ole
bachelor will get as much JOY out of
spending that "X" rs ell the little ones
combined.

LA TOILETTE DOESN'T NEED
 ANY FEDERAL PATRONAGE
Wisconsin Senator Defies Aom'n'ss'S' ton and Regulars to Defeat
 Him In His Own State.

washington. Jan. 13.-Senator La Toilette of Wisconsin defied the ad- ministration and the regular Repupii' cans to defeat him in his own state This "dof" was thrown down durins the meeting of the committee on tue census, of which Mir. La Toilette IS chairman. It has been rumored for some time that it was the purpose of Mir. La Toilette to prevent connrma- uon of the census supervisors because he was not permitted to name those for his own state. These nominations were sent to the senate early in she season. The first meeting was heid yesterday and such regulars as Sena- tors Hale and Garter were present
 The supervisors for Georgia, Ala bama and Michigan were held up at the request of the senators and when MT. La Toilette displayed no inten. Iion of holding up those from Wiscon- sin, senators could not withhold tho evidence of their interest and asked him what he was going to do about it. Then 1t was MT. La Toilette gave the regulars a shock.
 'I was not consulted regarding the selection of these men in my state. said Senator La Toilette, and they are not only my political but my per sonal enemies. However, l shall ask that favorable report be made upop their nominations and that they bo confirmed. I do not propose to hold up the taking of the census because had nothing to do with naming these men. The stalwarts in Wisconsin were against me in all my campaigns and they controlled all the state offices The entire delegation in congress was opposed to me and they controlled every postmaster and every other fed eral appointee in Wisconsin, but whipped them and will do it again when the time comes. Patronage plays no part in my campaign and fl the administration believes 1t Is crip bling me by naming men for office who are my enemies, the administration will find in the end that am strong CT than any patronage that can be be slowed"
 The regulars, who had expected s hard fight 10 get the nominations out of the committee were nonplused al MT. La Follettes statement and ( favorable report was ordered on the $50 federal appointees.

Washington. Jan. 14.-"Get busy and stop quarreling,' is the White house slogan at this time. The president agreest- with some of his advisers that if the Committees of congress will get to work and put his recommendations into the shape of bills the situation in congress will change from one of in sugents and stand-pat warfare to dis cussion and consideration of the de- tails of proposed laws.
 Just now congress has practically nothing to do and the party differences are in daily process of airing With a legislative program in progess of construction into real laws there will be something definite to engage at. tention and the warfare will be post. poned.
