A home where happiness reigns is a

tial to happiness, but the most happy and

Time has scattered the snowy flakes

The eye is dim, yet it glows with the
rapt radiance of holy love which can
never fade. Oh, yes. she is dear old
mother. Her sands of time are nearly
run out, but feeble as she is she will go
farther and reach down lower for YOU
than will any other on earth. You can
not walk into midnight where she cannot

love, when the world shall despise and
torsake you-when it leaves you by the
wayside to die unnoticed-the dear old
mother will gather you up in her feeble
arms, carry you home and tell you of
your virtues until you almost forgot that
your soul is disfgured by vices. Love
her tenderly and cheer her declining years
with holy devotion"

Is it worth while, because YOU feel out
OF sorts, to pull long face, to be disa
greeable and cross to everyone you meet
and SO make them unhappy? A cheerful
smile, a kind word will not only make
your friends and neighbors lighter hearted,
but will help to cheer you also. A cheer
full countenance is duty we owe to our
nelghbors and how much more is it neces-
sary in the home! Our friends can get
out OF our way if we are not good com
panlons, but our family cannot. They
are helpless victims, shut up in the same
house with us. For the sake of the chill
dren, for the sake of the elders, for the
sake of all humanity, let us cultivate a
pleasant smile, hearty laugh, and
habit of cheerfulness.

INFLUENCE.

influence is a power we exert over
others by our thought, words and actions
We all OF us at times lose sight of this
principle, and apparently act on the as
sumption that what we do or think or say
can affect no one but ourselves. But we
are so connected with the immortal
things around us that we cannot avoid
exerting most important influence over
their character and final conditions.
Since we all have personal influence
and our words and actions leave we'll
nigh lndelllble trace, it is our duty to
make that influence as potential for good
as possible. In order to do this you
must show yourself woman among all.
How great beauty and blessing it is to
hold the royal gifts of the soul, SO that
they shall be music to some and fragrance
to others and life to all! Some women
cling to their homes like the honeysuckle
over the door, yet, like it, sweeten all the
region with the subtle fragrance of their
goodness.
Oh, it is terrible the power that we
have; the power of influence. No
thought to us is more rife with solemn
grandeur of interest than that which re-
lates to the influence we are silently ex-
erting upon our fellow creatures. We
read that not in the earthquake that
shook the mountain pillars, nor in the
whirlwind that rent the forest was God
found; but i'll the still, small voice."
which, like the whisper of love, breathes
into the heart what the loud voice cannot.

To make home more agreeable and
attractive than other places to its inmates
requires the utmost care and thoughtful
ness on our part in regard to the welfare
of others, which we must practice daily
and as there is pleasure derived from
doing ones duty we render our own
paths more pleasant through life by as
others. In the home should be found the
most delicate and refined society, as here
it is that we receive our first and most in
fluential lessons in the great school of life
These lessons should partake of perfect
honesty, truthfuness, manhood, heroism,
patriotism and all things that tend to ele-

WILL BREAK RECORD.
House to Score 5000 Public and Pri-
vate Bills at Close in March.

Washington, Dec. 23.-An records
will be broken when the present house
of representatives scores total of ap-
proximatelv $4,000 public and private
bills introduced UP to its close on
March 4 next. This is leap of more
than 1900 over the record established
by the last congress, the Sixtieth.
These figures are exclusive of resolu-
tions, which so far in the three ses-
sions of the present congress have
numbered $50 simple resolutions, 2T8
Joint resolutions and 56 concurrent.
Back in the earlier congresses,
there were comparatively few meas
ures presented but with the extension
of the sway of the American flag to
various insular possessions and with
the host of river and harbor and pub
lie building developments, with pet
projects for a multitude of streams,
almost never before heard of, the bulk
of bills and resolutions has been in
creasing rapidly.
In the Fifty-sixth congress 10000
bills introduced outdistanced all other
records This was raised by thous-
and a little later and four years ago
the house files were flooded with
1900 bills. During the two preceding
sessions of this congress, 27,264 bills
were presented, and up to today the
present session has registered SOIL. A
flood of measures probably will be in
troduced in the few days following the
reassembling of congress on January
5. and then the tide will recede.

OLD KRIS IS BUSY.
POstmen Press Wagons Into
Service Today.
Rush of Christmas Mail
on Record.

For the first time this season ex-
press wagons were called into service
by the distributing clerks at the post
Office today. Two big wagons with a
half ton of mail each went out over
the city this morning and two more Will
go out this afternoon. Tomorrow two
more trips will be made. Two sub
carriers go with each wagon, one work.
ing each side of the streets. One wagon
goes to each side of town. Besides this
service the regular carriers take out
all they can carry.
Five subcarriers and three subclerks
are assisting in handling the business.
This is the largest business we have
ever had said Postmaster Rodgers.
But it is been coming for days. The
fair weather has helped and then peo-
pie havey really taken to doing their
Christmas shopping earlier. Besides
that, they are tying up their bundles
better. Formerly the packages came IN
here just as they would be tied If sent
from the stores. People addressed their
packages in pencil sometimes. For in-
stance, how would you like to read hard
pencil addresses On red wrapping pa
per? That's what they used to do.
Now we refuse anything at the weigh
ing window unless it is properly wrap
ped and addressed.
There is just one thing about which
we have any trouble this season and
that Is sealing. When any one sticks
stamp or red cross seal over the
string Of a package or over the lap OF
paper, that package is frSt-class and
must be paid for on that rate. The
people ought to be made to understand
that for anything but first-class mail,
no stamp or seal can fasten string or
a flap of the wrapping paper"
The outgoing mail of the city keeps
pace with that coming in. Fourteen
heavy sacks of registered mail stood
in the office at one time today await
ing shipment.
Station will be the only substation
of the Topeka postoffice where patrons
can not get their Christmas mail On
Christmas day Many presents prob
from that office until Monday. Sta
tions A, C, and the Oakland branch, as
well as the general office, will open
windows Sunday morning as usual.
Surprising as it may seem, however,
the postman and subcarrier likes the
Christmas rush. He gets the st. Nick
habit as it were and smiles and smiles
sometimes he can get away before
the package is opened. "Oh, no, I don I
mind the load. In fact would rather
distribute these 128 pounds than do
anything I have done since last Christ
mas said the champion in the heavy
weighted class of carriers.
Five trips are made through the bust
ness section of the city and two trips
through the resident section by AZ reg
ular carriers every day. Most of the
sacks carried out weigh a hundred
pounds, says Postmaster J. Z. Rodgers.
The chief agent for Santa Claus in To-
peka added then that one sack of 12s
pounds was sent out this morning and
similar weights were among those
taken out today.

AT CRITICAL STAGE.
Wage Dispute Between Engineers and
Railroads Unsettled.

Chicago, Dec. 2s.-The wage dis
pute between the Brotherhood of Lo-
comotive Engineers and the sixty-one
railroads west, north and south of
Chicago today became critical and it
is admitted that a sudden break in
negotiations would not be unexpected
None of the parties to the controversy
the board of railway managers,
Grand Chief Warren s. Stone of the
Brotherhood or Mediator Charles p.
Neill-would say anything touching
on the situation.
Elsewhere it was learned, however,
that despite the fact the two parties
were only a trifiing percentage of the
present wage schedule apart each side
saw in the effort of the other matters
of grave import which overshadowed
the mere dollars and cents involved.

Mr.. Peck has been general counsel
