She camo to mo at Christmas tlmo nnd made mo mother, nnd it scorned Thoro was a Christ indeed and ho had given mo tho Joy I'd dreamed. She nestled to mo, and I kept her near and warm, surprised to find Tho arms that hold my babo so closo wore opened wider to hor kind. t I hid hor safo within my heart "My heart," I said, "Is all for you," Rut, lot Sho loft tho door ajar rthd till the world came flocking through. Sho needed mo. I learned to know tho royal Joy that service brings; Sho was bo Kolplcss that I grow to lovo all little helpless things. "Sho trusted mo, and I who no'or had trusted snvo in self, grow, cold With panic lost this precious llfo should know no strongor, surer hold. Sho lay nnd smiled and in her oyos I wntcched by nnrrow world grow broad, AVI tli In her tiny, crumpled hund I tone lied tho mighty hand of God. Isabel E. Mnckcy. o THE JOURNAL'S WAY. 8 Tho Christmas holidays finds tho Capital Journal ohcorful, contented and optimistic. It has, faith in tho magnificent Willnmotto Valley and tho groat State of Oregon, and In tho solf-rollnnt nnd fonrloss mon and woinoti who nro Its cltlzons. Tho Journal has paid no attoutlon to the, o called, panic. It has not roduced wagon or laid oft any of Its employees. It hag not tried to reduce oxpsnsoH, but, instead, has volun tarily InoreaBcd thorn, to glvo Its vendors bottor and fullor tologrnph service. It ban not botherod Itsoolf about Wall Stroot or Panama bonds, or tho widely tologrnphod opinions of Jork-watar flnnnclors. It 1ms done biiKlnost Juat as It always bag, collecting what was duo It, depositing its money In the bunk nnd chocking against Its bank account to pay Its bJIN, without entoitalnlng a impioloii thnt the chocks would not bo pnld. It hus'fcad eoiifli'encG In tho banks, and that onfldenco ban boon proved rtRhl. It hasn't worried, for It has soen nothing to worry about, and It ha j oMier fish to fry. It has atttndod to Its own buslnoss nnd not loaded Itsolf down with gamblers' troubles or fronzlod flnnnclors walls. Its foot uro iitlll warm and aro going to bo kept that way. It Is not afrnld UiIh country U going to tho ovorlnstlng bow-wows, bocauso tho Wall Stroot sponge was squoosed. ft has faith In God that IIo will liond sunshlno and rain and that tho glad earth will again ylold abund tint harvest, and It hns confldonco In tho sturdy pooplo of Orogon that Somo kind friond in Washington Bonds the editor tho Dally Con gro&slonnl Rocdrd. Wo find it vory Interesting to read to our children on Sunday ovon Ingo, when it la too stormy to go ta church, AND AVE WANT THEM TO GET TO RED IN GOOD SEASON. Thoro aro somo good Joke's in' its pngos, but moot of thorn uro Jokes at tho oxpon.20 of their bolovod constituents. Each congressman seems to bo Inspired with a maddening desiro to bankrupt tho treasury and THE ONLY WONDER IS IT HAS NOT GONE BROKE OFTENER. When wo look over the weeks record it makos us sad to think thnt abler men could not be there, but wo suppose it has occurred to other politicians, that tho pooplo do not always mako tho host selections. Edward Evorott Halo, "tho literary fellor," Is chaplain of tho senate Thoro nro flvo torrltorles, Including Alaska and Porto Rice. Tho dole gato for tho lattor U Tullo Lnrr-Innga. ON THE FIRST DAY OVER 2,500 PRIVATE PENSION BILLS WERE INTRODUCED AT THE RATE OF 300 A MINUTE. Tho president's messngo occupied 18 pages nnd his nominations to ofllco during vncatlon of congress 27 pagoa. It was read by relays of clerks. Tho rules of tho BOth congress woro adopted and mado tho rules of tho GO tii congress. Thoy havo been unchanged since tho Dipt congress, and provldo thnt 100 MEMBERS SHALL CONSTITUTE A QUORUM IN COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE. PonBlono and claims nro considered on Frldny of each week, A great deal of tlmo cc.ild bo savod by granting a pension for llfo to ovoryono who was over connocted with tho army or tho navy, OR HIS WIFE, AND LET THAT END IT. Appointments to ofllco nnd prlvnto ponolons constltuto two-thirds of the Congressional Record up to date. Abraham Lot Brick is a congressman from Indlnnn. Wo hope his hair Is not tho color of his nnmo and that tho houao will novor mako bats of him. A bill hns boon Introduced to grant pouslons to tho votornns In tho Mexican Klckapoo Indian war, tholr widows and other survivors.
