Well, children, Dorothy and Davie
Dear had a perfectly lovely Christ
mas, and I am sure that you did,
too.
I'll try to tell you just how they
enjoyed it.
Very early in the morning Dor
othy's eyes popped wide open, as IL
they were worked by springs. For
a moment she looked about the
room, trying to think just what
made the day seem different, and
why her lips smiled of their own
accord.
Then she began to realize
why, it's Christmas" she whis-
pered joyously to herself, noddine
her head so that her golden curls
bobbed merrily. "Davie! Dav-ee!
Are you awaken"
There came a sleepy "wha-at,"
followed by a brisk 90 course, pm
what we've got,' as Davie became
really awake. After which there
was a patter of bare feet. and an
excited Hurry, Dorothy" which
made that young person spring
quickly out of bed. She met Davie
in the hall, and, like two little con-
spirators, they tiptoed softly down
the stairs. holding their nighties
high in order to avoid making the
trip on their noses.
On the landing Davie paused.
20, Dorothy" he whispered,
clutching his sisters arm, "s'pose
there isn't a thing!"
Dorothy grew quite pale at the
terrible thought.
I'VE apologized to mother for
peeping, and said we were sorry"
she declared in a voice that tried to
be brave.
And 1 was awful good last night.
I put my head under the covers,
SOS I wouldn't Sc anything, and
then / kept my eyes tight shut till

hear Santa Claus on the roof" said
Davie, hopefully, did your"

whispered
The library door was closed. For
a moment the two stood facing it,
wondering IL they would find any
thing, or nothing. on the other side.
Then Davie said, I'm cold" and
Dorothy, shivering a little, too,
opened the door.
And what do you think they saw?
A big, big tree, glistening with a
thousand dainty, shiny ornaments;
hung with yards and yards of tin
sci and popcorn and paper chains;
with packages of all sorts suspend

DIVER TO BE TRIED AGAIN.

Acting District Attorney Conrad \.
Buchler announced Tuesday that he
will file a new information against
John r. Dwyer, charging him with as
sault with a dangerous weapon with
intent to kill on Wednesday morning,
and that he would seek to have the
accused put on trial during next week,
which will be the last of regular jury
term, unless Judge Burlington finds it
necessary to extend the session.
In explanation of his contemplated
action Mr.. Buchler said that this was
necessary, because Dwyer could not be
called to the bar again on the old
charge, a more serious offense, the
trial jury having, by its finding for a
lesser crime, virtually acquitted Dwyef
of assault with intent to murder Mr..
Buchler served as assistant to the
prosecution when Dwyer was tried,
having been engaged by Rudolph Eng
Ter to aid District Attorney Marrero in
the effort to convict the accused.
The decision of the Supreme Court
was based on District Attorney Mar
rero's remarks to the jury during his
argument, the court holding that the
prosecutor went outside of the record
to brand the accused as a coward and
a criminal and also as an ex-police
officer dismissed for serious cause and
that the courts belated instructions to
the jury to disregard these statements
were insufficient. The court also held
that Mr.. Marrero's remark that any
man who heard the testimony and
could then say the accused was not
guilty was a worse coward than the
accused was highly improper
In view of the courts opinion in this
respect, Attorney Buchler is of the
opinion that application for a rehear-
ing would be useless and, rather than
hold up the case beyond the present
term of court, he will forego this right
and proceed with the new trial.
Whether or not the attorneys for
Dwyer will seek to have him released
under bond after the new information
is filed remains to be seen. Senator
Rivardo, who is handling Dryers
case along with Attorney Joseph E.
Generelly, said Tuesday that he is
waiting for the prosecution to move
before he takes any further steps. He
will not disclose his position until
then.
