The Municipal Christmas Tree.

The municipal Christmas tree in Richmond
this year will bring the citizens together for a
celebration that is rather unique. The idea of
making it a simon pure charity affair at which
gifts will be handed out to the poor has been rele-
gated to the rear and in it's place will be held a
community celebration. The Rev. j. j. Rae, pas
tor of the First Presbyterian church, will deliver
Christmas story, and holiday music will be a
feature. Plenty of music is essential to Christ
mas program. In the churches, some of the best
classical music that ever was written always is
the chief element of the celebration. The COM
mittee on arrangements did well to introduce the
singing of carols by children as one of the prin-
cipal attractions. The voices of children always
are heard well in song and their efforts please
young and old. The services of the music depart-
ment of the public school will add materially to
the event which ought attract record breaking
crowd if the weather is attractive

Why Chicago Boys Are Bad.

Two boys representing the Boys Brotherhood
Republic of Chicago appeared before Capt. Wes-
ley Westbrook of the Maxwell police station the
other day to intercede for five boys arrested on
a charge Of larceny. They handed the police cap
tain circular showing why boys are bad in
Chicago. It's text might be read with interest by
every parent and boy in Richmond. It follows:
There are $4,000 boys uncared for in Chicago
Ninety per cent of all the murderers convict
ed went to work before the age of Is years.
Every year 500 boys are sent to farms by the
Juvenile court where they work from eleven to
sixteen hours day without pay, in Chicago.
Nine hundred boys are discharged from orphan
homes with instructions to go out and make a
living; As per cent of them wind up in reform
schools or in jail, in Chicago.
Two thousand boys under 16 are hunting for
jobs every day in Chicago.
Twenty thousand boys go to bed hungry
every night in Chicago.
Thousands of boys are forced to steal for an
existence in Chicago.

HISTORY

AN ELECTION IN WAYNE COUNTY

AN ELECTION IN WAYNE COUNTY
In 1887 there was q holly contested
election for the county offices. Since
the removal Of the county seat from
Salisbury to Centerville the citizens
Of the latter place claimed the right
to the county offices. Cambridge City
in the west, and Richmond In the
east, although much larger places, had
no representation in the county seat.
In this year the people Of Richmond
nominated the following ticket:
For clerk, John Finley; recorder,
James Woods; treasurer, Francis
King; sheriff, Thomas G. Noble. This
entire ticket was elected, and the
governor issued certificates of cleo
ton.
samuel Hanna, the defeated candi'
date for clerk, began to cry fraud,
claiming voters were imported from
Ohio. When Mr.. Finley heard this he
said he would not accept any Office
with such q stigma attached, and pro-
posed to return his certificate OF cleo
ton to the governor. in which case
Mr.. Hanna would continue in office
another seven years. Finally both
candidates agreed to resign their claim
to the office. The governor ordered
second election. which resulted In
majority of three hundred for Mr
Finley. He removed to Centerville In
March, 1888, as the county officers
were required to reside at the county
seat. In 1845 he returned to the vi
cinity of Richmond, having always
considered Richmond his home.

Buying Horse Meat.

Americans once looked askance at the sale OF
horse meat permitted in Paris, Berlin and other
big European centers of population. The eating
of horse meat was regarded as indicating low
state of civilization and continental countries
that permitted the sale were often denounced by
tourists who had returned to America after So
journ there.
But now the tables are turned. Sale OF horse
meat will be permitted in New York after Janu-
airy l, according to an announcement of the board
of health.
Commenting upon the revocation OF the Sec
ton of the sanitary code which prohibited the
use of horse flesh, Commissioner Emerson said
that while the Health Department does not ex-
actly recommend it, no harm can be seen in its
use.
1.-THE horse never has tuberculosis and almost
never communicates malignant disease to hui
man beings" he said. thereafter, old horses, in
stead of being sold for their bones, which are
worth little or nothing, will be fattened and dis
posed of for meat"
Dr. Emerson announced that special precau-
tons would be taken to prevent the sale of horse
flesh in the guise of veal or beef.

asked Lawrence with stupidity that
actually was not entirely feigned. He
had boyishly idealized his relation

which that lady would utterly have

scarcely have been expected to guess

The thought sometimes arises whether we are
not paying too much attention to the system
itself and too little to arousing sense OF the
worth of education in the minds of the children
whether we are not trying to make education
easy forgetting that all good and lasting
things are attained only by hard work. Ought we
not inject more of the stern unyielding, rigorous,
disciplinary element into our educational system,
thereby impressing at early age on the child's
mind the important truth that life i real and life
is earnest?
