In the pure soul, although it sing or pray,
The Christ is born anew from day to day,
The life that knoweth Him shall hide apart
And keep eternal Christmas in the heart.

CHRISTMAS.
Hang up the vine and the holly,
Sign the cram over the door,
That joy coming in with the Christmas,
May go from the place nevermore.
Gather love gifts for the children,
Guard well the mystical way,
That the Christ child comes at the midnight
To bless with bright favors the day.
Bring in good cheer and be merry,
Dance and ring out glad song ;
The stars of a Bethlehem desert
Looked down on a Christ happy throng.
Go ye in hovel and highway,
Guests to bring in to the feast ;
Angels shall unawares greet ye
In those the world counteth as least.
Sound the sweet Christ loving anthem—
Echoes will bear it on high—
To the angels made joyous forever
By Christmas of love in the sky.
Bow down and worship the spirit
of the feast, the invisible King ;
Lo l He cometh in scarlet and purple
To gathera world‘s offering.

THE CHRISTMAS ROSE.
A little way up one of the Rhaatian Alps,
beneath the shade of an old black pine, grew
0. Christmas rose.* The summer had pissed,
and the short days had come, when the wind
blows and the snow flies, and the hardy little
mountain rose had two buds. “Dear me,”
fretted the rose, “I wish I could blossom
when other plants do. There would be some
pleasure in displaying oneself for the dainty
blue gentian or the pretty eyebright, but
with no one to admire me, I see no use in
blooming at a .” _
“Ho! ho i” laughed the old pine, waving his
shaggy arms, “Ho! be! what a little grum-
bler. The snow and I will admire you. You
are named after the blemed Christ child, and
ought to be happy and contented. Push up
through the deepening snow, little friend,
and expand your buds into perfect blossoms;
we were all made for a wise purpose, and we
shall know what it is when the time comes
if”—
Just then the north wind blew so hard the
old pine was quite out of breath, and for
some reason he never renewed the conversa-
tion.
“All the world is dead except the pine and
me,” murmured the rose, “and perhaps I had
better follow his advice. If I was made for
a wise purpose I shall not be forgotten.” So
she took good care of her beautiful buds, and
the day before Christmas the black pine saw
her blossoms, white and perfect, peering up
through the white snow.
Now, the two little children of Klotz, the
wood cutter, were nearly heartbroken, for
their mother was sick, and that morning the
kind neighbor who had watched by her side
through the night had said, “God pity this
home; I fear your mother will die before
night.” Their father sat by the fireplace,
speechless with grief, and answered them
neither by word nor look when they crept up
to him for comfort.
of the door, and, hand in hand, wandered a.
short way up the mountain side, following
the forester’s tracks till they came in sight of
the old black pine.
FINDING THE CHRISTMAS ROSES.
“If all the mothers in the world were dying
that hard old pine would not care,” said the
boy, bitterly. “Let us go back into the val-
ley, sister; there we will find good people,
with kind hearts, while here there is no one
to care for us. ” ' '
“There is one who cares for us even here,”
cried the sister, spying the Christmas roses,
and in a moment she had scraped away the
snow and plucked them. “We had forgotten
the Christ child, and that to-morrow is His
birthday. Let us take the roses to the
church, and there pray that our mother’s life
may be spared.”
So they hastened down the mountain to the
village church, where they found the good
pastor busy trimming the altar for the Christ-
mas fostival. He took the flowers and put
them, with some feathery moss, into a tall
white vase. Then he knelt with the children
and prayed for their mother’s life, and the
roses nodding on their stems smiled as though
the gift asked for were already granted.
When they returned home their father met
them at the door and exclaimed joyfully,
“The [ever has turned and your mother is
better. Thank God.”
The Christmas rose had fulfilled its destiny.
Ah, me! the black pine was right. We were
all made for a wise purpose, and we shall
learn what it is in God’s own good time.
*The Christmas rose is not a rose. it belongs to
the family Hellebore, black Hellehore, so called
from the color of its roots. Its large white
flowers are produced in winter, and it grows only
in cold climates. The flowers are white or tinged
with red. ‘
A [MOTHER’S XMAS STORY.
Mother and I were sitting by the fire on
Christmas night. Twenty happy years we
had spent _ together, almost alone, for father
died before I knew him; and we had never
been rich, alld were perhaps a little selfish,
for we loved each other so heartily that We
could scarcely spare time from each other
for the few of our own class whom we came
across, who being better o'lf than ourselves,
and holding themselves rather higher, seldom
seemed to need our help or sympathy. 1V0
had plenty of poorer neighbors whom we
loved and who loved us, but they in no way
interfered between us or made the happinem
we felt ill being together less complete. It
was only in the last year that a new strong
interest had come into our lives, and this
Harry brought; and on New Year’s day he
and I were to be married. From the first
moment when he brought me home to mother,
having picked me up from the muddy pave-
ment, where I had fallen bruised and helpless
in the midst of a crowd, she seemed to take
him into her heart, and never from that day
did she let one jealous feeling come between
her and me. Of course, she was to live with
us; even Harry could not have made a home
for me without her, and the only thing she
ever did which for the moment we thought
hard, was when, a week before, she had in-
sisted on Harry’s going home for Christmas.
“Go to your father and mother, Harry, and
leave Janet with me,” she said. “You and
she hope to be together all your lives; give us
old folks one more Chance Of feeling you all
our own.” And Harry. with a look at me to
see what I thought, ha : agreed.
“cons AND sxr nuns, JANET.”
Sothat Christmas evening Mother and I
were alone. There had been something in
mother’s manner all day which I could not
not understand. She seemed to have some-
thing on her mind. She was loving and ten-
der to me, so tender that I thought that no
no: had ever bad_a mother like mine. and yet
So at last they stole out .
sdihefiz'uhés Wh'eil I‘sp'o'ké to her she scaFcely
heard me. But we had a quiet, happy day—-
we always were happy together-and late in
the evening mother sat down in her chair by
the fire and said:
“Come and sit here, Janet, on your little
stool, and put your head on my knee. I have
a story to tell you tonight.”
“A story, mother dear? Oh, that is lovely,
like being a child again?”
“It is a true story, Janet, of your life and
mine. I have never cared to tell it to you be-
fore, but I am not afraid now—my childpnd
I have loved each other all these years—no, I
am not afraid.”
“What could you be afraid of, dear
mother?"
“You shall bear and judge," she said, put-
ting her hands on my head, and then she be-
. “When I was young, younger than you
are, I was engaged to be married. My home
was very unhappy, and when Andrew West-
ern came and asked me to marry him I was
ready to revere the ground he trod upon. He
had been coming backward and forward to
our house for some time on business with my
father, and I believe that from the very first
day he saw my misery. We were—-and to
my remembrance alwayshad been—poor, but
if I had been a boy my father would have
thousandsa year. I never wondered
that he hated me, that my mother mourned
and fretted from morning till night; they had
brought me up to feel guilty of a crime, and
I did feel it in my inmost heart. It was no
marvel that, when Andrew asked me to marry
him, I looked upon him as an angel of deliv-
erance. I loved him with an intensity which
amazed and frightened him. It was in vain
he tried to make me sober and reasonable. It
was in vain he told me that such worship was
wrong and foolish, that it gave him no happi-
ness, while to me it must bring disappoint-
ment. I could not listen, and at last I wear-
ied him. He said little about it after awhile,
but he went away , and once more my life was
desolate. He said he would come back. but
he never did. He wrote to me often, kind,
tender letters, but they chilled my heart; and
then one day he wrote to tell me that it must
be all over between us. _He told me how he
had striven to hold fast by his old love for lne,
but he could not; the more effort pained him,
the thought of my passionate devotion filhxl
him with dread. He could never return such
love, he could never endure to have it lav-
ished upon him; once for all he would give it
a death blow; when his letter reached me he
should be married.
“I had another lover then, Janet, and I al-
most hated him, but before many weeks were
over I became his wife. He loved me always,
but we quarreled. I could not pretend to
love him, and he grew reckless; our home
Was miserable, and within a year he died. I
was too ill to know what happened for a. long
time after that. Strange faces passed before
me, strange voices spoke kindly words of
pity, and once every day it seemed to me that
Andrew came and stood by my bed. When
at lastI woke to reason again, you were be-
side me. Oh, how I loved you! How pas-
sionately I loved you! You seemed to me to
be all the world, and you saved my life!
“My husband had not left me in poverty, I
had no need to work, and I spent my whole
life in watching over you. I made no friends,
for I cared for none. I forgot the miseries of
my father’s house; I forgot my quarrels with
my husband; I forgot even my love for An-
drew, and was scarcely moved when I heard
that death had visited his home as well as
mine, and that he was indeed desolate, for his
wife had died and left him childless. Three
happy years passed away almost without a.
cloud. You grew and throve. Every day
seemed to my delighted eyes to give a new
charm, a new beauty to my treasure; and
then in the midst of my joy you fell ill. Day
and night, night and day, I watched by your
bed—nay, J anet, give me no thanks; it was
selfish love! It was all in vain that doctor
and nurse argued with me. I would not
leave you. It was fever and must run its
course, they said. If you should rccover, my
strength would be needed when you could
know and call for me; but I would not listen,
and one night as I sat beside you all the room
grew dark, and I knew no more. “film I re-
covered I conld not rise from my bed, but I
implored with passionate tea'rs to be taken to
you. Then some one came forward and sat
down beside me and took my hand, and I saw
that it was Andrew. It gave me no surprise
to see him there. I dimly remembered that I
had seemed to see him before when I was ill,
and for the moment his presence calmed
me.
“ ‘Mary,’ he said, ill his old, quiet tone, ‘if
you do not do as I tell you you will die; and,
what is more, the child will die too.’ .
“I sprang up with a scream and struggled
to go to you. ‘My child, nly child!’ I cried.
“ ‘She is not your child—she is mine,’ he
said, in that calm tone of truth which had
never failed to convince inc, and which now
pierced like a sword of ice into my heart.
‘Yes, she is mine! Listen.’ His' quiet eyes
controlled me, his quiet words subdued me.
‘IVhen you were very ill, dying, they
thought, my name' was often on your lips,
and they discovered and sent for me. ()u the
same day a child was born to each of ur, and
my wife and your child died. “We might
have hoped for her if her baby boll lived,”
said the doctor; and I gave my child to you.
Can you not hear what I have borne?
“0h, Janet, my child, his words were heals
ing, and the sorrow that from that hour I
tried to bear was taken from me!” . -
At first when mother ceased speaking, the
world, and love, and life seemed to me to be
blank and hollow, but in a few moments I
rose from my seat and kneeled at her knees. V
“Oh, mother, dear—my father?”
“He died long ago. Janet, 'do you love
me?”
“Then, as we kissed each other I knew that
in all our lives of happy love dear mother
and I had never been so near together.
Three Angels on the First Christmas
Morning.
When God created man He commanded
Hisangelstovisit him on earth and guide
him in his ways, so that he might have a fore-
tasteof the bliss of the life to ceme. But
man sought after sensual joys in the place of
those in heaven, and growing greedy of
worldly fruits, began to quarrel with his
neighbors for the possession of them; and
the guardian angels wept among themselves.
But when the strong oppressed the weak and
took from them by force the product of their
toil, Justice rose up sorrowing. and, leaving
earth. flew back to heaven. And when the
weak overcame the strong with treachery and
deceit, and got from them by cunning what
they feared to take by force, Truth rose up
sorrowing, and, leaving earth, flew back to
heaven. And when the injured went forth
to slay their injurers, and crimsoned the
plain with their brothers’ blood, Peace rose
up sorrowing, and, leaving. the earth, flew
back to heaven.
Thus each bad act scared some good angel
from the world, until Forgivenem, the most
beautiful of all, alone remained behind. And
when she heard Anger and Revenge whisper
dark deeds in men’s ears, and counsel them
to repeat that hadbeen done to them, she
rose up sorrowing and said:
“I. will not leave the earth. While my
sister angels were here I might have rested
ill my Father’s bosom, for man needed me
not; but now that they have fled, I will seek
to make man listen to my voice, telling him
that as be cherished forgiveness here, so that
forgiveness will cherish him hereafter.”
At that moment a new and most beautiful
star blazed in the heavens. It was the star
of Bethlehem. Pointing to it Forgiveness
said, “Behold, the light of the world. It
shines as a promise that Iwill ever dwell
upon the earth.” And Peace and Love, re-
peating, flew back and have never snlce left
the earth. So the loveliest angels of heaven
came home to the world on the first Christ-
mas morning.
THE CAMPBELL VERDICT.
Lady Campbell Acquitted and (ion.
Butler Denounced.
LONDON, Dec. 2l.—The jury in the Camp-
bell divorce case came into court after a
short abwnce and informed Justice Butt
that they had failed to agree upon a verdict.
The ,judge gave them further instructions
upon points not altogether clearto some of
their number, and sent them back to the
jury room to reconsider the case.
A few hours later the jury came into
court and announced the following verdict:
“We find that Lady Colin Campbell has not
been guilty of adultery with any of the
co-respondents.” The jury added a rider to
their verdict, stating their opinion that the
conduct of Gen. Butler was unworthy of a
gentleman and an officer, and explaining
that his failure to come into court and
testify had caused the only difficulty the jury
had experienced in deciding upon averdict
without delay. The verdict was loudly ap-
plauded.

All EDITOR’S CHRISTMAS.
————
This is Mr. Worthington's story just as he
told it to a number of us one Christmas eve-
ning at his house Mr. Worthington isn't
Mr. Worthington at all ill real life, but a
very famous man whose tongue and pen
carry great weight: ’
My first journal was a country weekly in
Doonvillc. A “flourishing and fearless” jour-
nal, was the way my kindly disposed contem-
porarics spoke of it in their “able" lages. Its
name was The Trumpet, and I speak only the
plainest truth when I say that it gave forth
no uncertain sound. I was a very young
man and very ambitious. I thought I knew
exactly what a forceful weekly newspaper
should be, and I hadn’t the least doubt of my
capacity to construct and manipulate such an
,engine of reform and advancement. That is
the way of the very young, God bless them.
Before they have had a hand to hand en-
counter with life they feel so strong and con-
fident they believe they can do anything, and
this very belief, mark you, is what makes
the phenomenal succm we so often admire
and wonder at. The Spaniards have a
proverb, “He who expects good luck will get
it,” alld it is as true a sentence as ever was
penned. Believe you can do anything, and
you can, if any one can do it. Success, like
the art of swimming, is largely a matter of
confidence.
I worked very hard on The Trumpet. I
~was business man, editor and staff. I had
very decided ideas in regard to bettering the
world, and started out with the praiseworthy
intention of extinguishing severe. “giant
wrongs," under which I plainly saw that so-
cietysufi’ered. \Ve all have the reformatory
spirit much stronger in us in youth than later
on, for the reason, perhaps, that we haven’t
fully measured the strength of our antagonist,
the existing system of things. I was sincerely
anxious to thoroughly represent all worthy
local interests. To that end I scoured Doon-
ville night and day, and “wrote up” all sorts
of things that never beforehad been described
by pen, or immortalizedjn type. I wanted
to wake up my fellow townsmen, and women
to the interests that lay close around them,
and of all things I wanted them to properly
appreciate The Trumpet.
I intended to issue a magnificent Christmas
number of my beloved journal, twice its
ordinary size and brim full of the most
alluring holiday matter I could create and
rake up. To perfect that number I almost
worked myself into a decline. Looking back
upon it now, from the standpoint of what I
beg to be permitted to call mature common
sense, I commend myself heartily for the in-
dustry, zeal and confidence I nursed into
respectable development in those old, hard
working, moneyless days on The Trumpet.
Among other attractive features for my
Christmas paper I determined to write up the
very poor of Doonville. I could thus be the
means of conferring two benefactions—giv-
ing the rich a chance to taste of the blessing
of giving—for it is more blessed to give than
to .receive—and also open the way for the
poor to be helped. And on Christmas, you
know, all hearts are said to be tenderer and
more generous, and many are glad of an op-
portunity to do something for the needy.
Doonville was a small place, and so very
prosperous that I scarcely knew where to go
to hunt people so poor that I dare intrude
upon them and tell their wants in my “valu-
able and widely circulated” paper. Many of
its citizens were very rich. and none whom I
personally knew had fallen below decent and
tolerable poverty. But down below Doon’s
mills, on the river bank, were some broken
down houses about whose doors I had seine-
times seen very ragged alld very dirty chil-
dren playing. I determined to go thither and
investigate.
I had this thought in my mind as l was go-
ing to ofilce one morning just two days
before Christmas. I determined to go out
that afternoon and begin the search. I hadn’t
gone far when I met “Calamity” Parker.
That was what I called him when my speech
was without bridle, for I held him in great
contempt
He was a tall, thin, broken down creature,
who posed as a gentleman and moved about
with a solemn, lmhealthful gait and dis-
tributed religious tracts. He always seemed
to me a frightful excrescence on society. al-
though he had the discretion to say but little.
It fretted my progressive spirit to see him
crawling around thrusting his weak litera-
ture under more intelligent and busier peo-
ple’s eyes. “The day and generation are be-
yond tracts,” I said to myself, “and here is
this threadbare fraud keeping up this relic of
fogyism.” I despised him so heartily I could
hardly speak a decent good morning as he
passed me. I think he felt that I disliked
him; but he had cultivated the unctuous af-
fectation of godliness and an appearance of
patience and sweetness under slights and
taunts, and invariably returned a smile for a
frown. That very habit made him detestable
to me.
I began to think about him as I went
along. He had only been in Doonville a
couple of years, and I had never heard of his
doing anything but distribute tracts and
preach on the street corners down by the
mills. I concluded that it was time he was
abolished. Accordingly my first work on
reaching the office was to write a half
column editorial article on “religious
frauds,” in which the practice of tract
distributing received merited castigation. I
drew a picture of the typical tract man, of
which Parker was the model, which wasn’t
calculated to make his path in Doonville any
smoother. This incisive, and I may say
“able,” article, which was certainly a flaming
sword of righteous wrath against the tract
fraternity, was to adorn the Christmas num-
ber. .
Then I started out in my search for pov-
erty in a self satisfied spirit. It is delightful
to do something that wins one’s own appro-
bation. I found the row of old houses all
locked and tenantless save one, the last one
and the worst one. It was in a state of
dilapidation so hopeless that its owner hadn’t
even thought it worth while to shut it up.
The result was that it was tenanted without
his permission having been asked. A family
of dull braincd, sallow skinned, chronically
indigent, half dead creatures who had been
crawling westward in worn out wagons
drawn by dying horses, had taken possession
of it by permission of necessity. They had
reached Doonville just as their horses suc-
cumbed to the inexorable, alld there they
were, sick, freezing, starving and dying in
a state of destitution unspeakable.
_ I saw through the windows that the house
was inhabited, though the only figure I could
seelnoving about was more ghostlike than
humall. On pretense of borrowing a match
I knocked for admittance. A match! such a
thing was a far off, undreanlcd of luxury to
the family within. There was neither firo
nor food in the house, and the wind, the rain
and the snow came in at will through the
glassless windows. Haven’t you noticed that
the very elements conspire with. poverty to
make his victims wretched?
A skeleton man sick unto death lay on the
floor, his lad on a bundle of dry leaves.
Two famishcd children, ill and feeble, were
on the semblance of a bed in another corner
of the room. A very old woman sat helpless
by the side of the sick children, whose emaci-
ated and miserable mother gropcd about
fccbly trying to give help to the others. The
only one who seemed to have any life to
speak of left was a Wan and ragged little girl
with delicate featlnea and big, old eyes.
I got fire and food for them, and did all I
could for their immediate relief. Then I
rushed to the office of The Trlunpet and
wrote such an account of them as would be
sure to send the good people of Doonville to
their door with abundant relief. It was a
long and graphic article, and realistic to a
startling degree. We were not illustrating
newspapers then as now, so I could only pic-
13" be suffering of this family ill words.
However, I gave the article tremendous bead
lines and aprominent place. Tile Trumpet
was issued the next day, which was the day
before Christmas and it went forth on its
work of arousing the pity of Doonville for
the family in the old house by the river. I
was very busy all that day and could not go
to see them. But when night came and I lay
down to rest I had the satisfaction of feeling
that they were provided for, and that I had
been the instigating cause of their relief. I
fancied the surprise and sorrow the benevo-
lent Mrs. Barclay would feel when she visited
them, carrying aid, as she was sure to do,
after reading my article. And how di3~
tressed. I thonght, Mr. Archibald Deon
would be when he realized that so sad a case
of want existed in the town of which he was
so proud. And others—fiver so many otheg
—would be equally interested and
helpful. In imagination I saw the 23:32:15:
throplsts of tho the community, one after an-
other, going down to the old house by the
river side carrying aid and sympathy.
The next morning was Christmas. it was
cold and clear, with a sharp wind blowing—-
traditional Christmas weather, called chef—:13»
in stories, I think, but very ullcouli'orlnblo
for those who lire thinly clad. Aft-.21- break—
fast I started down to see my prior friends by
the river. I wanted to help the‘ul, but all I
could do would be but a cipher in compari-
son with what had already been done. But
I thrilled with the pleasure I would expe-
rience in seeing their improved condition
knowing I had had a hand in it. ’
How forlorn alld desolate the house was,
even as seen from afar 011‘! And oh! the
dreariness of Christmas to those within!
A man approached the house just ahead of
me. A second glance told me that it was the
tract distributor. I felt a spasm of wrath at
sight of him. How dare in: mock those
wretched peop'.) with his printed twaddle
about the preciousness of their souls when
their bodies needed food. and fire and cloth-
lug?

THE THIN LITTLE GIRL OPENED THE DOOR.
He knocked, and the thin little girl with
the pale, delicate face opened the door, came
out, and shut it behind her. The tract dis-
tributor took oif his hat, she looked up at
him, and I knew she spoke, though 1 was not
near enough to hear what she said. I no-
ticed, too, that she raised her hand in ges-
ture—a solemn and intensely dramatic ges-
ture, it seemed to me, for one so young to
make unconsciously. A queer sort of chili
crept over me. The tract distributor opened
the door and went in, but she stood outside,
and was still standing there when I reached
the door.
Somehow, when I was quite near her I
could find no words to utter. She seemed to
understand, and pointing to the door, said:
“You can go in if you want to. Father died
this morning!”
I stood speechless in the presence of that
child’s tearless sorrow.
“But help came to you yesterday?” I said,
my heart sinking as a possibility I had never
thought of flashed into my mind.
“Yes, he—the man who has just gone in—
came and was very kind. He stayed by
father all night, and was only away a little
while; but father died while he was gone.”
“And—did—did—nobody else come yester-
day?" I stammered. ,
“Nobody else,” said the child, looking up
surprised at the question.
I felt ashamed to go in and face the tract
distributor ill the presence of the dead he had
comforted and whom I had left for others to
comfort—others who never came.
He greeted me with gentle kindness, and as
I clasped his hand in that woeful dwelling I
inwardly bent before him in self-abasement.
We went out together to plan for the
funeral and procure further aid for the liv-
nlg.
“You did a good work when you wrote
about those people,” he said, “and I thank
you, for otherwise I should not have known
of their existence in time to be of help when
they needed it most.”
\Vith what shame I remembered my article
on religious frauds, of which I had been so
proud only two days before.
From that hour we became warm friends.
As I learned to know him well I looked back
in amazement at my former conclusions in
regard to him. “Calamity” Parker, indeed?
It would have been more fitting had I named
him Beneficent Parker. His life was a bene-
diction—unobtrusive and self-denying; he
gave of his abundant sympathy and slender
worldly means without reserve. Nor was his
never failing patience and sweetness of spirit
the cloak of hypocrisy, but the result of years
of spiritual aspiration and discipline, which I
have never yet begun to attain. His habit of
distributing tracts was merely the outward
manifestation of a helpful spirit—a habit
contracted in a bygone day among simple
people. It hurt no one. For ought I know
it may have benefited some. Why should I
asume that because a man had an inoffen-
sive habit, of which I disapproved, that he
was a fit subject to be insulted in the public
prints, derided behind his back and sneered
at when he was present? It was tllc igno-
rance of youth, my children—youth, over-con-
fident youth, which thinks it knows every-
thing and often knows nothing. I had not
then learned that each one has his own way
of doing good, andhas his rights, too. Neither
had‘I learned that it is foolish and wicked to
judge peOple whose real lives we do not know
and cannot know-or to judge at all.
It was some time before I got over my eur-
prise at the apathy of the philanthropists of
Doonville in regard to that wretched family.
I was at a loss to understand how they could
eat their Christmas dinners in comfort, after
reading about the distress of the poor souls in
the old house. I did not then know that
people unused to seeing poverty are slower to
lend a helping hand than they who see it
every day; that when we have not the poor
always with us we forget how to be benevo-
lent and sometimes grew very selfish.

A Lesson Lost.
H. ILL-Hoxie of the Missouri Pacific
- Railway is noted in railway circles for
his proneness to give his inferiors
good sound lectures on the slightest
provocation. Hoxie is a hard worker,
and all who have seen him know how
round-shouldered he is. One day a
brakeman called on him with a letter
request for a pass in his pocket, leav-
ing the door wide open as he entered
the 001%, and wearing his hat on his
head in true brakeman style. ‘In a
loud voice he called out: ’
“ Is Hoxie in ‘9”
At this the general manager looked
up from his desk and replied:
“Yes, sir, Mr. Hoxie is in.”
The brakeman took his letter out of
his pocket, grabbed the corner of the
envelope between his thumb and fore-
finger, and sent the missive spinning
and whirling upon his superior's desk.
Hogie looked up in amazement, and
Sill :
“Now, young man, would it not look
better for you, when coming into a
gentleman’s office, and especially so
when asking a favor, to remove your
hat, wipe your feet, and inquire in {a
quiet voice: ‘ Is Mr. Hoxie in?’ ”
The brakeman looked at the general
manager a moment, asked for his let-
ter, got it, went out, closed the door,
and in a moment marched in again,
closed the door softly after, wiped his
feet, put his hat under his arm, and in
the most polite manner possible in.
quired:
:15 Mr. Hoxie, the general manager,
1n 7!
“ I am Mr. Hoxie,” replied the gen-
eral manager; “what can I do for you ‘9”
“You can go to h—l, you round-
shouldered son of a gun!” retorted the
brakeman. “I don’t want none ,of
your favors-I’m from Texas.”

The Hub of Pokerdom. .
An Arizona landscape brings the feel-
ing that our earth is really dying. The
blight of old age seems upon her, and
the unmistakable signs of decaying .
years at hand-the desert the proof of
senility. But to this, the towa-on a
Sunday evening presents a marked
contrast—saloons crowded; music.
dancing and gambling; faro, licensed
by the territory of Arizona, in full
blast; Mexican games with Mexican
cards; and the all-absorbing poker—
poker in all its various forms and at
tractions, from the small calibre of a
freezeout game to that in which each
chip stands for a. gold piece, and rises
with a geometrical ratio after the ante-
reckless playing, and drunken playing;
with an occasional cinch game; miners. ' I
professionals, laborers, business men,
all in the throng, and representatives
of each in the play. The great American
game seems to have a tight grip on the ’ 1' I
Arizonian, and the territory may well
be termed the hub of Pokerdom
. fl“.—
Speculation is a round game; the
players see little or nothing of theil

Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkllam: “I now sit down to
inform you of the good your Vegetable Compound
has done for inc. 1 am now sixty-five years of
age, and I have been troubledwith falling of the
womb forty years and have spent hundreds of
dollars doctorng with different doctors but got no
relief. I got discouraged and quit, and suffered
on. I have taken various medicines but received
no benefit. Last fall I was so bad that I employed
another doctor that was recommended to me as
one of the best for such complaints. I took his
medlclne two :months but to no efi’ect. Then I
had tumors and kidney complaint very bad, and
was confined to my bed. Then I saw your Com-
pound so highly recommended thatI thought I
would try on“: more. I have taken ten bottles of
your Compound and two boxes of pills, and am
now able to be on my feet the most of the time.

No single disease has entailed more Infierln or
hastened the breaking up of the constitution t an
Catarrn. The sense of smell, of taste, of sight,
of hearing, the human voice the min no or
more, and sometimes all, yield to its destructive
influence. The poison it distributes throughout
the system attacks every vital force, and breaks
up the most robust of constitutions. Ignored, be-
cause but little understood, by most physicians,
lmpotently assailed by quacks and charlatans,
those suffering from it have little hope to be re-
lieved of it this side of the grave. It ll time, then
that the popular treatment of this terrible disease
by reme les within the reach of all passed into
hands at once competent and trustworthy. The

really wonderful powers in curing all the other

the blood had become diseased or impoverished

Kaskine is the only blood urifier we have. I use
it very largely with unfail ng success In alidiscases
