BY La PrieI Bell, Fourth Grade

1t was the night before Christmas
when all the people were down town
getting presents for the children.
Among the people was seen poor
little girl who had come to see the
Christmas toys and goodies in the
windows.
She was dressed in rags and her
bare feet were blue with cold. She
was a motherless child and her faith
er was a man who did not care for
children or what became of his child.
He was a drunkard
A kind hearted woman saw the lit
tie girl and said, The poor child,
she must be cold, and she asked her
husband if she might take the child
home with her.
They went in stores and bought
presents for the little girl.
They took the little sri home with
them and when she got there she
found they had three little children.
When they got there the children
were trimming the tree and when
they saw the child they took such a
liking to her and she Immediately
joined them.
That night she hung up her stock
ings with the otner children.
When she woke up next morning
she found ner stockings full of Christ
mas toys and under the tree was a
beautiful doll for her.
At last breakfast was ready and
they were called into the dining
room. They had oranges, meat, and
gravy, mush, fried potatoes, and hot
rolls.
After breakfast, they played with
their toys and ate candy and peanuts
But you never saw such happy
child in your life as this child and
her doll.
The lady was busy making things
for dinner while the children were
playing with their play toys.
It was IL o'clock and dinner was
ready. They We're all very hungry,
All was set on the table. They had
turkey, and chicken, corn, celery,

went out skating and the little child
said she had never seen anyone
skate before IT amused her so she
laughed.

their play toys and books. They read
them and enjoyed them very much =.
They lit the candles on the tree,
which was beautifully decorated.
The children were all dancing
around the tree and having such a
good time, when the mother called
and said, 1T is time for all little
girls to be in bed" So they got un.
dressed and went to bed where 1t
was nice and warm.

While the colonists expect to lose all

there Is no Othef alternative. They have
been robbed and mistreated and even
murdered until they can stand 1t no
longer. Even the friendly Mexicans in
and near the colonies live in terror.
Every time they hear an unusual noise
they start and shudder. When armed
men come in sight, the women folk hide
themselves If they can, and the men are

THE PRINT CLOTH MARKET,
tBy Telegraph to The Tribuns.l


Fall River. Dec. S.-Trading In the New
England cloth markets last week was
slightly reduced, owing In a large degree
to the activity which has been going on
for the last few weeks. Buyers bought
then very literally Of the goods which
they need most, and had their wants well
taken care of. Reports reached these
markets during the week that there was
a tight money market In New York, and
this condition was held as a reason Tor
the easing up In business, but tho real
cause is as stated above.

held In stock by mills OF this section.
more particularly wide goods. II would be
noticed that the accumulation Is exceed
ingly small and would amount to very
little The mills are well pleased with
profits which have been realized have
been encouraging. While business has
quieted down to some extent. brokers and
mills are In daily receipt OF good sized
orders and these will assist In keeping
mills busy for the next several months.
The yarn markets continue TO show
much strength In spite OF the fact that
there was reduced business In the cloth
markets: buyers OF yarn declare that
prices which are being asked by spinners
are prohibitye, and they state that In
order TO meet these prices the buyers will
be compelled TO mark up their finished
product. The raw cotton market declined
slightly last week, but the reductions
failed TO disturb cloth quotations. The
total sales will probably reach 2l5,0O0
pieces. The week closed with the demand
slightly reduced, but prices remaining
