THE LITTLE FELLER's STOCKING.

Oh It's Christmas eve, and moonlight
and the Christmas air Is chill,
And the frosty Christmas holly shines and
sparkles on the hill,
And the Christmas slelgh-bells jingle ana
the Christmas laughter rings.
As the last stray shoppers hurry, takin
home the Christmas things;
And up yonder In the attic there's a little
trundle bed
Where there's Christmas dreams adam

And It's Merry Christmas" Mary, once

With the little feller's stoclin' hangin
up beside the aue.
'Tlsn't silk, that little stockin', and It Ism
much fer show,
And the darns are pretty plenty round
about the heel and toe,
And the color's kind er faded, and It's
sort er worn and old,
But II really "a surprisln' what a lot OF
love I will hold:
And the little hand that hung II by the
chimney there along,
Has a grip upon our heartstrings that Is
mighty firm and strong;
SO old Sanity won't ferglt 1t, though II

And the crops may fail and leave US with

And the mortgage may hang heavy. and

there went out decree from Caesar

be enrolled. This was the first enrolment
made when Quirinus was governor Of
Syria. And all went to enroll themselves,
everyone to his own city.
And Joseph also went up from Galilee,
out Of the city Of Nazareth. into Judea,
TO the city Of David, which is called Beth
lehem, because ne was Of the house and
family OF David; TO enroll himself with
Mary. who was betrothed to him, being
great with child.
And II came to pass, while they were
there, the days were fulfilled that she
should be delivered. And she brought
forth her frst-bon son; and she wrapped
him in swaddling clothes and laid him in
a manger. because there was no room for
them in the inn.
And there were shepherds in the
same country, abiding in the field, and
keeping watch by night over their flock.
And an angel OF the Lord stood by
them and the glory Of the Lord shons
round about them; and they were sore
afraid
And the angel said unto them: "Bs

tidings Of great Joy, for there is born to
you this day in the city of David Saviour.

I am not an advocate of extreme
protection. AS member of the SUBJ
committee on resolutions which drew
the tariff plank in the republican plat
form of 1908, vigorously advocated
an honest and reasonable reduction
of the tariff on the necessities of life.
I stated then, in letters and speeches,
that unless the republican party should
keep its pledges, the agitation would
not cease and it would be disastrous to
the country. Such proved to be the
case. There were then undoubtedly
many duties which should have been
reduced and certain articles placed on
the free list; but this does not change
the principle that the people of this

Waukegon, ILL.,, July 5.-The con-

charged with the murder of Marion

The very root of the two theories

the question, whether supersaturate

was taken in so'id or powdered form.
Favors Powder Theory.
The powdered poison could have
been carried by thgs girl in a paper
and numerous natural causes would
account for it's disappearance.
DR.. Wcssncr gave. a wealth Of reas
ons for his theory that the cynaide
was taken in powdered form.

ago testified that three white spots
left on Marions green outer coat was
caused by sturate solution Of the
poison. The depth to which the resi-
due was imbedded in the fabric ane
the irregular shape of the spots were
pointed out as proving this theory.
Spots Impossible Otherwise.
"Those spots" said Dr.. Wessnel

stay on the fabric at all, but would
roll off like globules of mercury or

The theory of the defnse as to just
how the poison was taken developed
in the course of the examination of

moistened the powder, remaining in
