A LABOR VIEW.

Editor Ell PasO Herald--There are hun
dreds Of Americans now living in Ell Paso
that have no work A Hneman whose
wages should be $3.50 a day says he can
only get S1-50
They are out Of employment and can
get no work and are begging even for
helper jobs Men Of all classes in unions
1t seems that the United States has
helped all refugees from Mexico and
working man can't sit down in a park
without being given 20 DAYS while a Mex
lean can sit down in a park and be taken
up by a plain clothes man and be given
a job.
Why not place on the windows Of your
employment agencies "No Americans
wanted here ?" It would seem better than
backbitting and refusal Of an American a
Job
This is perfect outrage on American
citizenship and explains why Ell Paso does
not grow and viii be in future a Mexican
town, as far as labor goes

The First Christma. Card.


The honor of the Christmas card is
ascribed frequently to the late w. G.
Dobson. an English painter In
december, 1874, date earlier than
that given to any other claim, he was
anxious to send some more novel
christmas greeting than that of a let
ter to distant friend, and the idea
occurred to him to make little sketch
symbolizing the spirit of the season.
The sketch depicted in its center a
family party gathered around the
christmas dinner table raising glasses
to the health Of absent friends. I'm
derneath were the words "A Merry
Christmas and Happy New Year to
you,' while on each side was small
er sketch representing an act of be-
nevolence. Mr.. Dobson's card SO
pleased Its recipient that the following
year he designed another card, of
which he sent autographed copies to
large circle of friends. Other artists
followed his example. and the circle
sending out Christmas cards grew
wider and wider until an enterprising
printer saw there was money In the
business. and within a few years from
its birth the Christmas card was to be
seen In hundreds Of shop windows.

A little tree as small az she. just suit

Oh, glad and proud the baby fir, amid
its brethren tall,
To be thus chosen and singled out, the
first among them all!
He stretched his fragrant branches; his
little heart beat fast;
He was a real Christmas tree-hs had
his wish at last.
One large and shining apple, with
cheeks Of ruddy gold;
Six tapers and tiny doll were all that
he could hold.
The baby laughed, the baby orowsd, to
see the tapers bright;
The forest baby felt the Joy and shared
in the delight.
And when at last the tapers died and

Here comes old Father Christmas
With sound Of fife and drums.
With mistletoe about mis- brows
So merrily he comes!
His arms are full Of all good cheer:
His face with laughter CLOVIS;
He shines like any household fire
Amid the cruel SHOWS.
He is the old folks Christmas.
He warns their hearts~like wine.
He thaws their winter into spring
And makes their faces shine.
Hurrah for Father Christmas.

And hiring the grandslres all around
To near the tale he tells.

The vegetable gardens have been dis
continued and the forces at all of the
other departments except the dairy
have been reduced to a minimum 1t
Is generally expected here that the
dairy which has been on a paying
basis for the past several years. will
be continued.
The sale of Pisgah forest marks the
change Of ownership Of the late Mr..
Vanderbilts prize possession. Here
1t was that scientific forestry was first
practiced in the United States, Clifford
Pinchot being in charge OF the opera
tions. 1t Is known that the estate
has been offered more for the timber
lands than the government paid and
1t is believed that the action of Mrs
Vanderbilt in selling 1t for IS per
acre was taken to carry out the wishes
of her husband who often expressed a
determination to keep the land out
of the hands of INSCRIPTIONS lumber
men 1t was his desire that the prop
erty go to the government upon his
death and in Carrying out this desire
the estate received less than half the
value of the property, it is said.
