What Christmas Day
 Brought the Convict

TT was late in the afternoon of the day before Christmas To the woman who waited for news and
 yet dreaded its coming it was the closing of the longest. wretchedest. dreariest day that she had ever known She had been advised not to hope. yet she clung to hope, feeling that if she gave up entirely she must die. If the worst came she must live for the sake of the children. who were toe young to know of the shadow that clouded their lives.
 Often and often the woman went to the window and looked out at the dreary street Once when a boy came down the walk with the blue uniform of telegraph messenger she clutchea at her throat and uttered a little moan of despair.
 "Wha's matter, mamma?' asked the little girl that clung to her skirts The woman could not reply until after the messenger had passed her gate. Then she caught the child in her arms and covered its face with kisses Hope once more revived in her heart
 When she went to the window again the woman looked out and saw her husband coming. In the wave of joy that surged over her she did not no. tice that he looked old and hopeless and broken and bent and that there

 The warning voice came out of the void,' like the voice of the angel who spoke to Abraham on the mountain top Perhaps it was only the cry of his own consciousness, made audible by his imagination. But he heard it dis tinctly. A revulsion of feeling swept over him.
 "Oh, not that not that, thank God" he murmured.
 He put the weapon back in the draw CT and went out into the kitchen, where Grace was dressing the Christ mas turkey.
 Five years will soon pass," he said cheerfuily. land there will be a gen. erous allowance for good conduct will have some sort of bookkeeping to do, and the life will be bearable, no doubt. Let us meet the future bravely, dear heart. God will not fail to send us comfort And you-you dear, brave little woman-you will get along some how. We have friends yet. thank heaven"
 It was the first time he had ventured fo ly cf hn in, md h0 was comforted to know that he took so brave view. That night they slept. and the next day their Christmas din- ner was an occasion of joy to the chill dren, and the parents, thankful to be together, simulated a cheerfulness that almost deceived one another.
 It was late in the afternoon that a large number of their neighbors came trooping in with words of love and sympathy and encouragement. They promised to look after Grace and the children, and when John got back they spoke of it as if he were going only on little journey-they declared that the village would be at the train with band to receive him.
 You will be a convict, but not a criminal, John,' said the leading mer- chant warmly. You can step into the best job in my store the day after you get home. promise you that and call upon these neghbors to witness it."
 John Anstruther rose to reply, but before he could speak the door was opened and a blue coated messenger boy appeared with a telegram. An struther tore it open with shaking fin. gers.
 '"The governor has signed your un- conditional pardon as a Christmas gift to your wife and babies. He did 1t as an act of justice and in response to telegrams from hundreds of men throughout the state who know you are an honest man. Congratulations"
 The name signed to the telegram was that of the secretary of state.- Chicago Tribune.

Advantages of Athletics.

Business principles and self-reliance can be learned in no better way than by actual management of the financial and travelling affairs of athletic or ganizations. It is the only way open to the college man for acquiring such experience and avoiding the often- heard criticism of college graduates that they don't know how to take care of themselves. They will not learn it by being kept in leading strings nor by being continually taken care of.

Christmas Treasures
By EUGENE FIELD.

r COUNT my treasures OCT with care
 A little toy that baby knew, ! A little sock of faded hue.
 A little lock of golden hair. Long years ago this Christmas time My little one-my all to me
 Sat robed in white upon my knee And heard the merry Christmas chime. '"Tell me, my little golden head.
 If Santa Claus should come tonight, What4shall he bring my baby bright, What treasure for my boy?" said. And then he named the little toy
 While in his round and truthful eyes There came look of glad surprise That spoke his trustful, childish joy.

Necessity a Stern Driver.

There is no stimulus to tumuituous action like strong human desire. Ne cessity. too, drives men on relent- lessly; but desire, which amounts to a passion. drives faster and harder and more intensely, It has been excep- tional stimulus that has produced the marvels of the" hour. It. is exceptional and self-generated stimulus that men need in this day and hour to keep up with the demands of the time.

That night as lengthening shadows crept saw the white winged angels come With music to our humble home And kiss my darling as he slept. He must have heard that baby prayer. For in the morn. with glowing face. He toddled to the chimney place And found the little treasure there, They came again one Christmastide.

WORDS RIGHT AND LEFT.
Port and Starboard Abolished in Navy
by Official Order

WASHINGTON. MAY 24.-Although
Rear Admiral Cameron Winslow pro-
tested against the use Of the words
right and left instead of port and
starboard ia giving orders to helmsmen
in the navy, Secretary Of the Navy
Daniels has announced that the change
which he recently ordered will stand.
Admiral Wilson placed his protest on
the similarity Of sounds Of the words
right and left when given as orders In
strong breeze. The general board,
TO which Secretary Daniels referred
the protest, did not agree with the
admiral and recommended that the
change stand.
