The First Xmas.

Once Mary and Joseph were going to
Bethlehem to be counted. They went to
the boarding-house, but there was nc
room for them. So they went on till
they came to stable. There Christ was
born.
Shepherds were out watching their
sheep.
There was a beautiful star in the sky,
and angels were singing. And the shep.
herds followed the star, till they came tC
the stable,
Wise men saw the star too and fol
lowed it. They too came to the stable
And gave presents to Jesus.

ed 1r. Michel that the heirs of Guy
Duf'ssst owned the property, and
whel it was finally decided that the
Talliho Club did not care to under
take to hunt up the Dufossats, as the
heirs were scattered in so many diff
fereft places, and il would take too
longand too much trouble and cost
too nuch to prepare all the papers
the lallyho Club gave up the idea OF
purchasing the land, and then it was
that Mr.. Michel decided to undertake
this work for himself. with the dis
misunderstanding that if he acquired
title le would sell to the Tallyho Club
a certain portion of the ground which
which they desired. at a price that
woull be agreeable to the said Tally

Mr.. Horace P. Phillips, President

Dear Strive beg TO state that the
suit filed against Mr.. Riviere was re-
ally a suit against the Commercial
Hunting Club. Mr.. Riviere had re-
ally no interest III the suit, but it was
simply directed against him because
he was the keeper and the man in
possession, whereas the real defend
ants in the suit were the members of
the Commercial Hunting Club, which
club is composed of number of gen.
tlemen from the city of New Orleans,
who'use the club for fishing and hunt
ing purposes at week ends and any
other time they find it convenient to
come to same for pleasure and recrea-
ton.
In the beginning we believed we
had title to this property by prescrip-
ton, but after consideration of this
matter and considering the reasonable
terms that were offered to us by you
in regards tc renting the property,
We were more than pleased to avail
ourselves of the opportunity to lease
same, and therefore compromised
and settled all our differences and
entered into this lease we have with
you. Yours truly,
ADAM TORCH,
President Commercial Hunting and
Fishing Club

Mr.. H. p Phillips, President Chef
Menteur Land Company. City. Dear
Sir--In response to- your request we
beg to state that the arrangement
which the Crescent Gun and Rod Club
have with you is the most pleasant
one.
When we erected our club house
we did not know who the property
belonged to and who we were to pay
rent to.
We realize that we had no right to
take mans property, erect buildings
on it, use same and force him to pay
taxes and we pay no rent.
The amount of rent we pay is ex-
tremely reasonable, and we are thor
oughly satisfied with the arrange
ments we have and have not the
slightest complaint to make. Yours
very truly,
LOUIS WEILAND,
President.

gone to lodge"
Another little one came into the
room where lay her baby brother,
just arrived. The little tot stared
at the bald head for a moment and
then said: mamma, who cut its
hair?"

Almost impreceptably the wild

line. One jerk on the thread,
one ounce more tension would
break his hold on the giant. Knee,

the reel stops its click and the
mad flight is over. A slight quiv-

first round is his. Carefully, slow

now tn be a captive. Yard by yard
the thread is wound around the
reel while foot by foot the fisher
man starts back to shallow water,
and now again he is on the bank
and his victim but 20ft away,
when a sudden pres ure on the

not won. Into the air bounds the
fish full SIT above the water be-
fore he makes his plunge for an
other run. But alert and know

every inch of slack taken as the
plunge ends, and the giant finds
again. that CALLING, exasperating
thread gently holding him back
as he dashes away. Again and
again this scene is enacted until
the final end, when he dashes
away to the utmost of his now
waning strength. 1t is futile.

Who Made That Old Nail?

Colorado Springs,-Here's a new
problem for biologists:
A slab of coal was mined yester.
day at a depth of seventy-fve feet
in the patterson coal mine, five
milesnortheast of Colorado Springs
contains a metal nail in Il perfect
state of preservation. How old it
is and how it got there are ques-
tions Alexander Patterson, owner
OF the property will ask the geolo-
gists of Colorado college to solve
if possible. 1t is generally sup
posed that the coal deposits here
are from 10000 to $4,000 years old
and Their is no record in history
of nails having been used that
long ago. In fact the nails of the
present day were invented less
than 300 years ago, altho for sew
eral hundred and perhaps thous-
ands of years hand made nails
have been used, The nail found
in the piece of coal in the Patter-
son mine protrudes about one
inch and appears to be of steel.
Mr.. Patterson does not intend to
break open the lump to ascertain
its length until he has consulted
the authorities of the Colorado
college.
q have seen a lot of queer
things around a coal mine, but
nothing to equal this" said Mr..
Patterson today.

AS SEEN on WALL STREET
Believe Great Northern Will Absorb
the Burlington. .s

New York, June LIN the absence
of James J. Hill, Great Northern of.
ficials here decline to discuss the pro-
posed $6OOOOO,O00 bond issue, but Wall
street believes Hill is about to carry
out his long cherished plan of merg-
ing the Great Northern and the Bur.
lington.
Part Of the proposed bonds will be
used, it is believed, to buy out the
Northern Pacific's interest in the Bur-
lington.
The $222,400,O00 collateral trust
bonds issued jointly by the Great
Northern and the Northern Pacific in
1901, in exchange for Burlington stock
at the rate of 5000 in bonds for 500
in stock, do not mature until 1921, but
the issue can be retired on any Jan. 1
or July l at los and interest.
1t is not believed in the financial dis
trict any plans are under way for an
alliance between. Northern Pacific and
Northwestern, but it is possible the
Morgan interests in Northern Pacific
and Chicago Great Western will bring
about an arrangement between those
two roads as substitute for Northern
Pacific's interest in Burlington.

DECISION IN TOBACCO CASE
Combination Held to Be in Violation
Of the Sherman Act.


Washington, May 3O.-The govern
ment won a sweeping victory over the
so called tobacco trust when the
supreme court of the United States
held the American Tobacco company
and it's allied corporations to be
operating in violation of the Sherman
antitrust law.
By directing that the combination be
forbidden the privilege of interstate
commerce or placed in the hands of a
receiver unless it disintegrates in har-
mony with the law within six or at
the most eight months the court is re-
garded to have dealt with the tobacco
corporation more drastically than
with the Standard Oil company of
New Jersey, whose dissolution was Or
dered two weeks ago.
While the decree was regarded as
unusually severe at the same time
there was a touch of leniency in not
making the combination an outlaw
"now." The various elements of the
combination are to be given an op-
portunity, under the supervision of
the United States circuit court for the
Southern district of New York, Of
recreation, so that there may be
brought about "a new condition which
shall be honestly in harmony and not
repugnant to the law"
