Bringing joy to the souls that are sighing in the hovels where Poverty dwells There is life there is life lor he dying in tbe beautiful Bethlehem bells 1 ' Far off in a land that is lovely for the tender, sweet story it tells ; In the light of a glorious morning rang the beautiful Bethlehem bells; . And still in the heart of creation au anthem . exulting swells At that memory sweet of the ringing of the beautiful Bethlehem bells! They rang o'er the hills and the valleys, they 1 summoned the glad world that day. From regions of night to the radiant light of the eot where the beautiful lay ; And forever and ever and ever a wonderful melody dwells In the tender, sweet ringing and singing of the beautiful Bethlehem bells! Independent and reliable The Oregon- ? WHEAT. . ;" Monday's Oregonian says: The movement of wheat from this port for the week was up pretty close to the record ship, moots made during the remarkable month of December,-;1897, but as these heavy shipments were to a considerable extent due to the non anival of tonnage last month, they nave no direct beating on. the pres ent situation, so far as buying and selling is concerned. There was undoubtedly a large amount of high-priced wheat sold early in the week. By "high-priced wheat is meant wheat which brought 55 cents and even more per bushel, and a strange coincidence, the high est prices for wheat were paid on the day that cargoes sold at Liiver- pool at the lowest price of tbe week, for; while 55 cents was boing reely paid for Walla Walla, at least two cargoes sold for 28 6d, and on Friday, with wheat back to 54 cents locally a cargo sold at 28s 9d. The actual value of the cereal based on existing freight rates is about 53 to 54 cents. For the first time in many weeks,, it was possible to ascertain the exact value of a spot ship, the Blairhoyle, which missed her cancelling date, being recbartered at 42s 6d, while the Bame rate was paid for a ship about due on Puget Sound. There were a number of factors in the mar feet during toe past week which were sufficiently un- avorable to prevent much, im provement in the Eastern markets. rhe Argentina crop reports do not brighten very much, but the fact that that big country keeps on shipping at a fairly good rate makes tbe trade suspicious of. some of the reporta of damage that are in circulation. The decrease in the American visible was of pretty fair proportions on Monday, but so long sb the visible figures per sist in remaining in excess of 60, 000,000 bushels the sentimental effect on the market is of consider able importance and strength is not lasting.

The charity which gives away only what it does not care to keep is of a poor sort. - And yet it ; is foolish to conclude . that because a thing has do value to us, it is use less to others. The toy you used to play with would look as beauti ful in the eyes of some child as it did in yours a few years ago. That outgrown winter coat should be warming some chilled little boy, instead of being , reserved ..tot mcths. The little pictures and knick-knacks which have outlived their day as far as your home is concerned, and are packed away, might brighten and beautify some other home which has little in the way of adornment . One of the beauties of the Christ mastide is that its giving has no sting. - Charity loses that shade of meaning which has made it almost an unpleasant , word, and is only another name for love. The sen sitive pride of that poor widow, who would almost rather starve than take a cent of what she calls "charity," will not be wounded by a ton of coal or a turkey on Christ mas day. She will sot be hurt if somebody gives her little daughter a half-worn coat, or a pair of shoes, or some toys that have made one child happy without reaching the limit of their usefulness. On Christmas day more than on , any day : of the year, people should realize that they are brothers and sisters, and the false pride so un fitting' between children of one Father be quite forgotten. , THE TREE. 3 Christmas trees were used to place gifts upon as early as 1632. France adopted the Christmas about; 1840, and Prince Albert in troduced it into England the first Christmas after his marriage. The Queen still keeps up this custom, having a tree for her, own gifts, one for her children and grand children, and one for the house hold. Since then the custom has become world-wide. The "tree of candles" is of more ancient date. There is an old French romance of the thirteenth century in which tbe hero sees a tree whose branches from top to bottom are covered with burning candles, while on the top is the figure of a child shining with a still greater radiance. This tree symbolized humanity the up per lights being the sonls of the good, those below of the wicked, while the child represented Christ. The poetic idea of the Christmas tree as a symbol of tbe renewed life of nature, which begins with the lengthening of the days, comes from Germany. From the Norse mythology comes the suggestion of the Christmas tree as typical of the new-born sun in that it was bedecked with . lights, and was an emblem of spring on account of its rich green. Probably the Norse mythology was the origin of the "tree of candles" more than of the present Christmas tree. , On the introduction . of Christianity the Ohristmas tree, although not known then by that name, became the type of Christ. WEALTH OP WA-WA. , Sam Phillips and Rev. Mr. Mc- ntosh are having a red-hot contro versy in the Weston Leader. The atter is being Bbown up for cruelly beating a horse. In the last letter Phillips says: Mr. Mcintosh says that I would balk tbe Christian race if it was in my power. I will say that there is one thing I do hate, and that is hypocrite; a wolt in sheep s clothing; a man who professes to be something be is not We have just such a man on Dry creek. "Mcintosh says 1 bad better send my children to school at least three months in the year. 1 think if he would send those lunatics of his to the reform school for at tenet three years they would have sense enough to pass along the public road . without blackguard ing people; and would not throw the neighbors'; sails pver into the lane; nor roll stile blocks down tbe hill; nor untie people's horses and turn them out of the stable. MAYHEM CASE. The case ot tbe State against Mat Hughes, charged with mayhem In bit ing on a piece of Claude Uerren'g ear, was called for examination in Juotice J. r. WilliamH' court Monday.

ROYAL BAKING BOSTON WOOL MARKET. Boston, Dec. 15. There is some improvement to be noted in the wool market although prices can. not as yet be quoted higher. The demand has increased somewhat and the business has been more diversified. The sales are more generally distributed in the trade, and the number of manufacturers who have been buying is larger, but they are operating very care fully. Manufacturers are talking hopefully in several instances and feel encouraged as to the outlook for the heavy-weight season. The colder weather ' has aoted as a stimulus and this has been accen tuated by the .tenor of advices from abroad, where tops have ad vanced 1 a per pound and wool markets are generally firmer. The sales of tbe week in lioston amounted to 3,845,800 pounds do- mestio and db7,000 pounds foreign, making a total of 4,212,800 against a total of 3,517,500 for the previous week and a total of 6,664,000 for the corresponding week last year. The Bales since Jan. 1 amount to 140,671,300 pounds, against 341,- 467,776 pounds for the correspond ing time last year. RESOLUTIONS. Whereas our brother I. L.

Matlock, J, M, Kfc-KNKY, ROYAL Baking Powder improves the flavor and adds to the healthful ness of all risen flour foods. ' It renders the biscuit, bread and cake more digestible and nutritious. Royal Baking Pow der makes hot breads wholesome. Food raised with Royal will not distress persons of delicate or enfeebled digestion, though eaten warm and fresh. Imitation baking powders almost invariably con tain alum. Alum makes the food unwholesome. POWDER CO., NSW YORK. OLD SANTA. There is always a certain pathos in thinking how little it takes to make a child happy and how care less we are of it Ai painted toy, a handful of sweets, a gay pioture book, and you have given him, the material out of which to construct a . world of delights. In such a little while we pass ; beyond all that. , Our toys cease to please us. Our doll is stuffed with sawdust. The disillusioning , comes Boon enough, even to the most fortun ate, and those . who . would rob childhood of one Sweet dream, or -darken its sunshine with a single doubt, are wicked iconoclasts. In a way all beautiful tales are true, and no child ever got any , barm from believing in the gracious myth of the jolly old saint, whose sweet mission in the world is to watch over little children and bring them happiness. MOTHER'S JOURNEY. There is a hint in the following incident of the way in which chil dren may be trained so as not to regard death as the king of terrors: That mgbt, before they went to bed. they were allowed to go in and kiss their mother good-night This privilege had been denied them lately, and their hearts re sponded with joy to tbe invitation. Mamma was better, or she could not see them. The doctor , bad cured her. They would love bint or it all their lives! She was very pale, but smiling, and her first words to them were: "I am going on a journey.' "A jouineyr", cried the children. "Will you take us with you?'' "No; it is a loog, long journey.' "Mamma is going to the South," said Katy; "the doctor has ordered her to. Sbe will get well in the orange groves of Florida." "I am going to a far distant country, more beautiful than ever the lovely Boutn," said tbe mother faintly, "and I will not come back." "Are vou going alone, mamma r asked Katy. "No, said the mother, In a low, sweet voice, "I am not going alone. My physician goes with me. . Kiss me good-bye, my dear ones, for in the morning before you are awake I shall be gone. You will come to me when you are made ready, but each must make the journey alone." In the morning she was gone. When tbe children awoke their father told them of the beautiful country at which mother had safely arrived while she slept. "How did she go? Who came for her?" they asked, amid their tears. "Tbe chariot of Israel and .the horsmen thereof," the father told them, solemnly. People wonder at the peace and happiness expressed in the faces of these motherless children. When aHked about tbeir mother they say, UUIia Ynu 'i sn e n a lAiinnan 1 j 1 1 o linn iwuo 'u a jvu i cjr y t i " Or.,1 every nignt anu morning they read in her Guide-book of that land where she now lives, whose inhabitants shall no more say, "I am sick," and where Ood shall wipe all tears from their eyes."- Detroit Free Press.
