THE CHRISTMAS PRAYER.
I-
For yon who live and love me As loyal love doth know. May Christmas skies above ye Shine warm beyond the snow! Shine the warmer, that I sayBurn the bluer, that I pray "For the bread of life ye gave
For the truth that bides forever, Come the famine or the fever For the strength of watching eyes For the help of dear replies For the love that understood— May my comfort be your good! Be ye gladder that I pray •Joy fie born to you to-day!'"
II.
For you who live and love me As silent love doth will All Christmas thought* that move mo Call you like bell*: until You wondor who doth pray, You wonder who doth say: "By the hurt once given,
Uy stab deep driven By tlie sacrifice unmade By the .t'one instead of bread By the heart, misunderstood— May rny sorrow be your good! O lx» happy for my having Ble*Hcd you wholly! for my Haying Power out of pain to pray 'Tin- Joy'I miss be yours to-day!'

ON THE QUI VIVE.
If Governor Mount has said, as he has men credited with Haying, that he hopes hat Governor Matt hews will appoint the pllce commissioners, whose terms expire
January before the new governor is inlgurated, which appointments he will 6t disturb, he is not the man with the cbone. he hits been credited with hav-
If Governor Mount willingly foists the city of Terre Haute, where he ran ^aead of his ticket on account of Democratic votes that, were cast for him befUsc of an exjcctatlon that he would ake a change, he is not the man he was •presented to be. No man has the, elect its of greatness in him. If he shirks unoasaut things simply because they are npleasant. If Governor Mount, with the /»wer In his hands to remedy the deoflencies existing in our police force, "tides that o. jU' Governor Matthews •is made an appointment as a memlwr of :je police board, he will not disturb it, 'feen the people of Terre Haute want a lange, he Itas not the strength of char-C-ter with which he has I wen credited.

The council lias ordered the finance comllttee to exchange notes with investigaiug experts throughout the country, to certain the actual cost to the city of the igagement of an expert to go through the toks of the city ollicials during the past •n pears.

The McKlnley "Tin Horn" club, which as well named, passed through the city week on the way to Washington from nscola. III. The club is composed of irnter boys, Who foolishly made a wager »to tlitt carrying of th»ir immense horn the way to the capital to attend the IcKinley inauguration exercises.

My old friend, "Tommy" McMahon who used to build railroads and watch the Main street crossing of the E. & T. road, died at St. Anthony's hospital this week, where he had lived for long time He was a good old soul, and the newspaper man who had the knack of getting "next" to him got many an interesting item. "Tommy" knew more about what Mackey was doing in his private railroad enterprises than any other living man and there was never a day passed but that he could tell of some new railroad venture that the ex-magnate of Evansville was putting on its feet. He assisted in build ing more papper railroads into Terre Haute than any other man, living or dead If any man ever deserved eternal peace on account of his friendship for newspaper men "Tommy" McMahon certainly will have it. Peace to his ashes.
CHRISTMAS MEMORIES
Christmas, with its mingled gayety and pathos, its good fellowship and tender reminiscences, will soon be here. How well we remember the Christmas stockings of our childhood—the lumps and bumps, and strahge protuberances, mysterious pack ages too large to put in, that dangled at its side. One Christmas night, thirty-five years ago, three little stockings—red white, and blue, were hanging by the great old fire-place in the parlor. How the fire light danced on the walls, lighting them up, glowing on portraits of remote ancestors, who stared at us reproachfully as we lay in our adjoining room with wide-open eyes, listening for the twinkling of reindeer bells, expecting every minute to see quaint, jolly old Santa Claus bounce out of the chimney on to the hearth, so we fell fast, asleep. In the night, after the last ember had died out, and the moon, round and full, shone Into the window, weawoke, Soon three little heads were in close communion, three little white clad forms stole into the moonlit room, and just as we were about to examine the treasures that Santa Claus had surely brought, a voice gruff and awful, in deep tones, said, "Children, go back to bed this minute!"
Of course it was Santo Claus angry at our youthful curiosity. So, with terror in our quaking hearts, we scampered back, and with bated breath listened to he*r if our precious gifts were carried off for "gooder children than we."
Then, when morning came, how we explored our well filled stockings. A doll glued into a little wagon that squeaked out a doleful tone, is a memory so delightful that valuable gifts of later years, though beautiful and precious, fail to give the thrill of pleasure that emanated from ich separate squeak of a toy that would not be tolerated by the present generation of luxury reared children. A candy-drop is tenderly cared for for months after, and when, by reason of such handling, its legs, and then its tail fell away, the head and body were mournfully divided with devoted friends, aud never did sweetness long drawn out taste more delicious. That suggests the query: Do you think that the children of to day are any happier with their accumulation of often useless toys than our grandmothers were with home-made rag dolls, broken china, au 1 strings of Indian beads?
We find now duplicated iu toys all the el-ganoies of luxurious houses, and child--n so blessed turn often with unsatisfied cravings for something newer and better. Yet, among our playmates in that long Ago, was A family of children whose parents did not believe In $Allta Claus, and Christmas morning they found by their plates at breakfast a silver quarter, and were admonished to buy a pious book to meditate on. Every one of those children turned out bad.
If we had our way, every child in the world should be made happy on Christmas day. for what would Christmas be without the children* They, from whom we would on that blessed day hide all the instiffi ciencies and disappointments of life, taking them back to that day, in the words

ance by the Amet Magniscope. The house has done a poor business, and the backers of the theater tired of putting up for a losing enterprise. E. H.
