Representative Underwood in ex- blaming that there will be no deficit in the treasury on account of the income tax may be pointing to con- dition that is satisfactory, but it cer- tainly leaves no satisfaction from the standpoint of true economy. There is no reduction in taxation and no reduc- tion in expenditures It is not a very satisfactory situation in this respect.

It remains to be seen if the State Senate has gained any prelimentair- ians in the new Senators elected, but the chances are that the upper bench of the state legislature has lost hea- willy by the passing of William R. Phillips, of Green Forest. Senator Phillips was member of the Senate for many years, and when a parlimen- tary tangle arose, it was usually the veteran Senator who was called upon as the court of final judgement. He will be truly missed.

Robbery at Johnsonville.

Monday night of last week the ex-
press office at Johnsonville was
broken into and robbed. AS far
as can be discovered, the only valu-
ables taken were two otter skins,
which were selected by the burglar
from a bundle Of pelts, mostly opos-
sum and raccoon skins. Suspicion
as to the guilty party points strong
lv to a white man named Miles. who
has served on the chaingang in Will
Iiamsburg county. Miles has been
arrested on circumstantial evidence
He was seen standing around when
the shipment of furs was left at the
express office, and shortly before
being arrested, was known to have
made inquiries as to the value of otter
skins, stating that he had some for
sale.-Geryeto,gn Times.

TWAS The night
BEFORE CHRISTMAS.

Twas the night before Christmas, when
all through the house
Not creature was stirring, not even a
mouse.
The stockings were hung by the CHM
ney with care,
In hopes that st Nicholas soon would
be there.
The children were nestled all snug in
their beds,
While visions of sugar-plums danced in
their heads;
And mamma IN her kerchief, and in my
cap,
Had just settled ourselves for long
winter nap
When out on the lawn there arose such
clatter,
l sprang from my bed to see what was
the matter.
AWAY to the window l flew like flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the
sash.
The moon on the breast Of the new
fallen snow
Gave a Iuster of midday to objects be-
low;
When what to my wondering eyes should
But miniature sleigh and eight tiny
reindeer,
With little old driver, so lively and
quick,
l knew in moment it must be st Nick.
More rapid than eagles his coursers
they came,
And he whistled and shouted and called
them by name:
''Now, Dasher! now, Dancer now,
Prancer and Vixen!
On, Comet on, Cupid! on, Donder and
Blitzeni
To the top of the porch, to the top of
the wall,
Now dash away, dash away, dash away
allr'
As dry leaves that before the wild hur-
ricane fly.
When they meet with an obstacle mount
to the sky,
So up to the housetop the coursers they
flew,
With sleigh full of toys-and st Mich
olas, too.
And then in twinkling heard on the
roof
The prancing aud paving of each little
hoof.
AS l drew in my head and was turning
around,
Down the chimney St Nicholas came
with bound.
He was dressed all in fur from his head
to his foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with
ashes and SCOT:
A bundle of toys he had flung on his
back,
And he looked like peddler just open
ing his pack.
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like
a cherry.
His eyes, how they twinkled, his dim
pies, how merry;
His droll little mouth was drawn up like
a bow,
And the beard on his chin was as white
as the snow.
The stump of pipe he held tight in his
teeth.
And the smoke it encircled his head like
wreath.
He had broad face and little round
belly
That shook when he laughed like a
bowl full of jelly.
He was chubby and plump-a right jol-
ly old elf;
And laughed when | saw him in spite
of myself.
A wink of his eye and twist of his head
Soon gave me to know had nothing to
dread.
He spoke not a word but went straight
to his work,
And filled all the stockings; then with a
jerk,
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving nod, up the chimney ne
rose;
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team
gave whistle, :.
And away they all flew like the down of
thistle;
But / heard him exclaim ere he drove
out of sight,
Merry Christmas to all, and to all
good night"

 During his pairny days as manager of the Chicago club, Pops or Cap
 Arlson. as he was popu1arly known,
 was undoubtedIy the greatest pilot baseball has ever produced. His base ball career traversed the whole his tory of baseball from it's first crude form to the highly developed pastirne
 of today.
 Forty years ago Anson accompanied the PhiladeIRhia Athletics on the first trans Atlantic tour in baseball his tory, when the Athletics and the Bos- tons gave Englfshmen and Irishnnen
 their first view Of the great American game When the National League was
 organized In 1878 Anson played third
 base, batting .342, and helped Chicago win the pennant.
 Succeeding A. 6. Spaldine as man ager and captain. Of the club, Anson built up that great baseball machine
 which was for so long the pride Of the Windy City. In 1880 he annexed the pennant, himself playing the in itiaI bag and batting. 338. In 1881 he again nailed the flag to the Chicago pole, and registered .399 with the bat. The following year he repeated. and hung up a swatting average of -262 Boston won he championship in 1883, and Providence led the league the following year, but in 65 Am son's colts came back and led the league with percentage Of z.

 In 1888 Anson pi1oted his players around the world, picked team known as the All-A America accompany | ing the Chicago club. They visited Hawaii Australia, Cey1on. Egypt, Italy, France, England, Scotland and 1re- land. Anson returned to face a diff1- cult situation, for 1889 witnessed the revolt of the ball players hp had formed ..brotherhopd to protect themselves In " hat they considered their rights.
 Anson refused to join the insurrec- ton, but practically all of his players i.4-all of the veterans except Burns Joined the new Players League. It was up to Anson to build a new team out of raw material Even when the new league blew up Anson did not get his old players back. and, while he managed to develop a pretty classy club, Anson never captured another
 pennant. It required the patient labor
 of many years to build up a team that, under Frank Chance, again put Chicago in the pennant class.
