3fany of these jncces not a few of OT
them in dialect are fit to be ranked
among American classics.
Jn these times when so much trash,
which is given the name of poetry, is
pushed to the front by money
and not merit, it is refreshing;
to find a collection of verses so dainty
-.and so delightful. Besides, they are
.accompanied by excpiisite illustrations I

I
BANK ROBBING.
If there is one thing more than an
other that a community should be
commended for it is the promptness
with which they act to apprehend
eo those who violate the law.
This is Pettis county.
Green Ridge is in Pettis county.
:V bank robber mu.-t not trifle with
the nconle of Pettis county. They
tare as bad as the denizens of Gofley
ville.
The attempt to rob the bank at
Green Ridge yesterday was a bold
one in the full light of day and none
would attempt such, a hazardous job
unless he was either an old hand at
the business or crazy.
The cashier, E. E. Durand, i
be commended for his coolness in the
face of great danger and that bank
has a treasure in him that is not found
behind the vest buttons of many men.
The name of Smith, given bv the
robber, sounds very chestnutty a
worm-eaten one at that.
Bank robbing in Petti
countv is
not a very profitable industry.
THE LEHIGH
VALLEY TROUBLE.
The trouble of this railroad has
been substantially settled aud a por-
tion of the M employes lmve returned
to their places
The foundation of the difficulty was
that the officers refused to recognize
and treat with committees of em
ployes from various branches in one
committee.
The employes undertook to coerce
the company to terms, but President
Willmr nnd i s snbon mate . ofiieprs
put their stock of sand into use and
(he result was a strike.
What led to the strike directly was
, . , t
the following letter from President

ments ot the railroad service. Presi-

OUR CHRISTMAS EVE.
IIY UKOKOE W. FEttUKU
There is no anniversary in al
the
year's calendar which ha been
bele-
hrated so much and so elaborate
in
art and literature as thatof Clirnjnias
eve. There is a subtle inlliLncc
about it, intangible, impalpable and
as rare as the blue sunlight or! the
- golden vapor in heaven
Poets aud painters have expended
their genius upon it from the lime
when the big bright Star of Bahle-
hem shone in splendor upon the plains
and peaks of Palestine until the
present. Mi'istrcls have placid it
lably upon the pages of joesy
to and art has wrought it into forhs of
fantasy and attitudes of cxijjisitc
symmetry
But the spirit of tlieanniversay is
so elusive that it really lies hidd'ii in
the secret sanctuaries of the hear) and
refuses to be evoked save by tin still
mall voice of the soul or the toudi of
memory and tears when the mud
turns to thoughts of the days thaj are
no more.
Christmas eve is largely a Unit for
gladness and glorification. The iery
atmosphere is surcharged with lap-
pint-ss. The strange star that guiled
the wise men to the place of theSa-
viors birth, is more brilliant even
than in the days ot old when the
nrnnliots ;itnl urii-ifi; filled the Ililv

The face of childhood is beamng
with expectancy and joy. The
branches of the evergreen tree ire
burdened with trinkets and kcepsaljes,
with playthings for "Little Boy Bite,"
and with substantial remembraices

for the older folk. 1 here are gi ten-

golden singers that encircle tue if

tact as well as in fancy. t
It is likewise a season of hoiie-coni-
mg and reunion. famine tiud
friends who have been separated by
sea or land gather again alniut the
festal Iward and find peace and con
tentment in the happy faces and the
warm clasping of hands. The mother
welcomes her boy back in the old
rooftree. The wife hastens to greet
a husband whom some cir
cumstance has kept from her side
for many weary months. Brother
greets brother and the bride, who
went forth a year ago from under a
bower of blossoms and with a shower
of kisses on her fair forehead, returns
and it may be holding in tender
caress a babe with scarcely less divin-

The morning of Friday was de

had one of the rooms, No. 8, tastefully
decorated with pink crepe and hung
with a profusion of flags. At one end
of the mom a stage was built, sur
rounded with evergreens. Jn the
background flags anil bunting deco

words "Merry Christinas." Head
