Said one: Il wonder what
will become of us. Do you think we
could be meant for a Christmas tree?'
For you must know that to be put on
Christmas tree is the best possible
thing that can happen to a candle.
"Of course not" said the other, who
was cross. "lf we are meant for a
shabby little children-see if 1t isn't"
IF we are" said the first, "I'll shine

Christmas eve drew nearer and near

dies. with many others of blue and
pink and yellow and red, were bought
for Christmas tree.
On the day before Christmas. while
1t still was daylight. some young girls
came to arrange the presents and make
the tree ready for the evening.
"Oh, what Il lot of pretty little can
dles"' said one of them. "They are
such lovely cOors-all except those
two white ones. We will put those
out of sight, because the red and pink
ones are prettier''
Didn't l tell you what would hap

LOCAL ITALIANS
 HONOR COLU MBUS

The celebration of "Columbus Day. was held yesterday by the Italian so- cieties of the city and one Greek society. A magnificent parade was held through the streets of the city and 1t is estimated that 4000 people took part. The parade was led by brass band that played na- tional airs. Behind the band were the societies of the district In military forma- tion.t Behind these came Mayor Exum and the council in carriages
 After parading through the streets the column disbanded at Second avenue and Nineteenth street to so to Germania park, where the contests were held, the barbecue served and the speeches made. At o'clock the grand ball began and dancing lasted until midnight, when the crowd broke up after spending a most enjoyable day.
 The feature of the morning was the contests. There were varied games to amuse both young and old. Every event had many entrants and interest ran high as to the winner. Many features of the Olympic games were given and the crowds were busy watching these until dinner was ready.
 The dinner was a monster barbecue, which had been prepared a la Italienne. As a side course spaghetti was prepared

you say that,' he said. "No man who is worth his salt will have anything to do with any one of the creatures who were tainted with that scandal. The most important thing before us as people is to drive from public life the corrup- tionists, the bribe-taker, the brlbe-giver. The men whom you speak of as jack potters are traitors to the American peo- pie, traitors of the basest kind. and 1t Is infamous in any one to condone their iniquity or to support them and stand behind them, directly or indirectly.
 "The presence in public life of such men Is shame and scandal, and I do not care a rap whether they belong to-lmy party or to some other party. I hold 1t my bounded duty to be equally hostile to them in either event."

ROOSEVELT TALKS
 ID PEORIA PEOPLE

Peoria. H., October 12.-Ex-Presdent Roosevelt came up from the south into Illinois today, denounced corrupt iegisia- tors and commended work which the Catholic church is doing. Leaving St. Louis early he travelled across the south ern end of Illinois, speaking at several places on the way. In Peoria he was the guest of the Knights of Columbus to whom he made a speech at a dinner to- night.
 It was Colonel Roosevelt's first public utterance to Roman Catholics since the vatican incident last spring. He said he favored the .boldest measure of re- ligious toleration.
 In a brief speech to the crowd at the railroad station at Springfield, Colonel Roosevelt made what was construed as a reference to the allegations of corrup- tion in the Illinois legislature. Hardly had he begun to speak when man in the crowd called out:
 Give It to the jackpotters, colonel.'
 The others in the crowd to whom the exposition had become familiar one since the confession of members of the Illinois legislature that they had shared in corruption fund which was called jackpot, applauded.
 Attack Upon Legislators ' Colonel Roosevelt took 1t up and att tackled the men involved in the legisla- tive scandal as vigorously as he did in his speeches last month at the Hamilton club banquet in Chicago, from which Sen ator Lorimer was excluded after the colonel refused to attend the dinner un- less the invitation to the senator was withdrawn.

Montgomery, October 2.-tSpecial.)- Political circles of Montgomery are mak- ing much of the composite democratic party as it is presented in Alabama al the present time. It is boasted by the O'Neal supporters that many of the stump speakers who are doing the most effective work for the party's coming election November were politically op- posed to Emmet ONeal for governor and out and out followers of Col. H. s. D. Mallory of Selma, the defeated demo- cratic candidate in the recent primaries,
 Colonel Mallory himself is one of the leaders who are endeavoring to secure for Colonel O'Neal, governor-elect, an unprecedented majority at the fall cleo ton.

Pension omccrs' Families

Leading officials of Montgomery and many legislators of Alabama are bacK of a proposition to set aside pension fund to be used by the bereaved fam flies of such public officers as policemen and firemen The recent bereavement m the family of Policeman T. w. Berry oi this city, who was killed by a negro while in pursuit of his duties, has re- vived the agitation, with the result that such a bill may be carried before the next state legislature.
 The idea is to allow the bereaved fam flies an allowance commensurate with the needs of the family It is pointed out that public subscription, while capa- ble of relieving the immediate want of the family, cannot provide for the care of widows and children throughout the years. .,
 Should the bill be introduced in all probability the fund would be established on A tax basis, so that the states gen. eral fund, education fund and regular pension fund will not be interfered with.

Ban on Loose Coins.
January 25. 1910


The Postmaster,
Sir: In view of the extent to which the
practice of placing loose coins in boxes
by rural patrons has grown and the
delay in the delivery and collection of
mail and the hardship imposed on rur-
al carriers incident thereto, you are
informed that, commencing February
Is, proximo, rural letter carriers will
not be required to collect loose coins
from rural mail boxes.
Patrons should enclose coins in an
envelope, wrap them securely in a
piece of paper, or deposit them in a
coin-holding receptacle, SO they can be
easily and quickly taken from boxes,
and carriers will be required to lift
such coins, and, where accompanied by
mail for dispatch, attach the requisite
stamps.
,inis should be promptly announced
to the rural patrons through whatever
means you may employ, without ex-
pense to the Department, and you are
at liberty to give the information en-
bodied herein to your local paper for
publication, il they so desire.
Respectfully,
P. V. DEGRAvE,
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General.

Oakes Country Favored.

Reports from all directions show
pretty conclusively that this part of
the country has been especially favored
as to weather so far his twinter. East,
west, north and south there have been
storms, floods, blockades and severe
weather.
Although this section has had rather
more snow than usual, there have been
no bad storms at all, only two or three
days of squally weather. There were
some low temperature periods in
December but practically all of January
has been mild and pleasant with many
soft thawing days and just a smatter-
ing Of fog and rain. Sleighing has
been fine and continuous.
A letter from P. A. Schmidt of Cam
bria, Wis, tells something of the sort
of winter they are enduring in the old
Badger state. Mr.. Schmidt bought the
Stenquist place of S. A. Reko and in
the course of a business letter to him
days: "Well, Mr.. Reko, we have
severe winter weather here in Wiscon-
sin. Winter set in,about Dec. 7th and
we have now from one and half to
three feet of snow on the level. There
is so much snow on the ground that it.
is all in drifts over the fields and
every field has snow fence around it
| We have had but one day of thawing
weather since winter set in, freezing
every day and mornings as much as II
Is and 20 below zero so you can see
what we have here and there is every
prospect of more snow and more colo
weather. / have been in Dakota some
winters but never saw it as severe
there as we have it here"
