CLASS AND CASTE FORGOTTEN
Year When All People
Are Equal.

m HIS is the season of equality, the
VI one brief period of the year
when the Chrstanized world
momentarily forgets class and caste,
Rich and poor. great and lowly, good
md bad, today stand more nearly on II
footing Of equality than they have
stood since the last Yuletlde, or than
they will stand for another year
For this is the Christmas season
and Christmas belongs to the child,
and untutOrcd childhood knows no
caste. II is only from grown-ups that
The little ones learn false standards
OF social place.
In every human heart that Is not
calloused to all JOY or sorrow, or dead
to the finest emotions of manhood and
womanhood, there is enshrined some
child, either dead or living-for child
love is the universal emotion of the
soul.
For this brief season, then, let child
hood take our gnarled hand OF
sophistry and beguile us by the finger
back TO . fleeing glimpse of that lotus
land of equality we once knew and
can know sply once.

ABOUT THE HOLIDAY GREENS
Spirit Of Poetry In Laurel; Say Asse-

blem Of Good Luck.

NM HEN we weave garlands Of
WV Christmas greenery. each
branch OF foliage typlfes
some ancient virtue. suggests a hoary

According to the ancients the laurel
communicates the spirit OF poetry. To
gain poetic inspiration a man should
sleep with sprig of laurel under his
pillow.
Bay has several meanings. 1t has
always been associated with victory,
while 1t Is supposed TO protect the
wearer from lightning. The whitening
and shriveling of its leaves was said
10 foretell death, which may account
for the superstition that evergreens
should not remain in the house after
Twelfth night.
The Romans used to send one an

An Old Time
Christmas Carol

~ HE following interesting carol is
W preserved in Poor Robins Alma
nae for 1895. 1t is of interest
as throwing light on the material side
of the old-time Christmas celebrations.
Minced" pies are referred to, It will
be noticed-a term never heard now
adays. And instead of plum pudding
there Is plum porridge." The carol
reveals, too, that the material for
Christmas decorations was fuller In
the old days, including holly, Ivy, bay,
rosemary and "lawrel."
Now, thrice-weicome Christmas, which
brings us good cheer,
Minced pies and plum porridge. good ale
and strong beer;
With pig. goose and capon. the best that
may be-.
So we'll doth the weather and our stom-
achs agree.
Observe how the chimneys do smoak all
about.
The cooks are providing for dinner. no
doubt.
o. may they keep Lent all the rest Of
the yeari
with holly and Ivy. so green and so gay.
We deck up our houses as fresh as the
day
With bays and rosemary. and lawrel
compleat,
And everyone now Is king OF conceit.
But as for curmudgeons, who will not
be free,
l wish they may die on the three-iegged
tree.
1t Is of interest TO learn that the
well known and Oft used couplet,
Christmas comes but once a year,
and when 1t comes 1t brings good
cheer" originally appeared In a mock
Christmas play Of the Fifteenth CEN
fury. Here are the lines:
Bounce buckram. velvsts dear,
Christmas comes but once q year,
And when II comes II brings good cheer.

CONDEMNED MAN
GAINS FREEDOM
HEAD OF CHICAGO POLICE TELLS
HIS MEN NOT TO TRY TO TAKE
TOM o'coNNoR ALIVE
Notorious Gun Man Escapes From
County Jail Few Days Before
His Execution Was To
Have Taken Place

Chicago-"Lucky" Tommy O'Connor,
gunman and killer, was to have been
led Monday to the death cell in Cook
county Jail, there to await hanging
Thursday morning for the killing of
policeman, but instead O'Connor was
leading the combined force of 5000 po-
lice and deputies merry chase, after
sensational escape from the Jail.
-Four Jail guards were overpowered by
OConnor and four other prisoners
Sunday, but O'Connor's reputation as
a killer suffered when he failed to use
revolver which had been struggled
to him.
Charles Fltzmorris, chief of police,
Monday threatened to suspend any po-
Eseman who tries to capture O'Con-
nor alive and promised promotion to
the man who brings him In dead.
He will never surrender so long as
he can Shoot" the chief said, "an6 /
don't want my mon to lake any chang
es."
FitzmOrls was bitter in his denun
citation of conditions at the Jail. He
charged O'Connor was literally
showed out" of the Jail by some o.
ficlals inside.
'rhey gave him everything but a
road map" the chief asserted.
Sheriff Charles Peters suspended
three Jail guards and offered re-
ward of $500 for O'Connor's appre-
hensOn.
The question of O'Connor's legal
status If he remains at liberty past
the hour set for his hanging Thursday
was cleared up Monday by the an
nouncement of Assistant States At
torney Lloyd Heath. who prosecuted
O'Connor. that he would appear before
Judge Scanlon Thursday and formally
ask delay of execution. This pro-
cedure would be followed, he said, at
each term of court until O'Connor
could be captured.
Edwin barrow, O'Connor's cellmate.
and james Laporte escaped with
O'Conn0r. Two others who attempted
to scale the Jail wall were captured.

A CHRISTMAS
STORY
~ VERY year when Christmas comes

M VERY year when Christmas comes
W round ma goes up In our attic,
digs around among boxes, broken
furniture and old clothes that have
accumulated there and produces the
dusty red and green Christmas
wreaths Of last year; jolly good Christ
mas odors issue from the kitchen; Sal
ter evening air, mufiling tissue paper
packages under their arms and speak
ing In mysterious whispers; little Jack
and Peg and ! are taken over town,
excited and happy, to see old Santa
enthroned In case of cotton batting
snow on the second floor of the big
store.
Then comes Christmas morning with
Its surprises and its beautifully
trimmed tree. The height Of the days
happiness is reached when Uncle Ben
and Aunt Molly arrive with their emil
dren. rosy checked and rosy nosed too,
from the effects Of King Winters nip.
After all pas and mas folks are
there, the house is just one lump of
good cheer. The day slips by and
evening comes. The part that Is al
ways the most pleasing to me Is when
we gather about the fire and Sallie
seated at the piano, plays the Christ
mas hymns and all the children sing
them, grandfather joining In the chorus
In his cracked old voice.
Thus 1t was. But last year II was
different for me. Ma got the wreaths
as usual; the same good odors came
from the kitchens the crinkling of Sal
lie and Macs packages could be heard,
same as ever; we were taken over
town to see-but here's where the sad
part comes In. How heavy my heart
was as / trudged on our way to see
old Nick with Peg next to me, her
little hand holding tight on mine. And
when l thought Of her Joy when she
should see Santa, felt so old, so ex-
perienced.
All Christmas day went around In
dream from the first thing In the
morning until l was tucked In bed that
night. All day there was envy In my
heart toward all the children from lit
tie lisping Jack to seven-year-old Peg.
