The Herald will receive presents of

There are hundreds of grown people

say that the 18!>8 Christmas of the
children of the mill section will be
one of the happiest in their memory.
And these little Innocents will ask.
“What is Christmas, that the day Is

And they will be told: “Christmas

They will remember. They will

There Is. however, another point to
be taken Into consideration. The brave

people are well-to-do; Indeed, at the
time of hit Imprisonment, there was
talk of raising a fund to pay off the
mortgage for hla father’* farm. Now
the question la, had the son any right
to refuse to do a thing that even the
most punctilious could not call dishon
orable, when in the doing he would in
sure for hla parent# dependent upon
him a future free from want?
In a popular periodical, a well
known writer recently wrote a clever
article on the decision of Rudolph in
Anthony Hope s "Rupert of Hentian."
He held that there could have been
only one decision, and that was that
ror the sake of those who loved him
and had sacrifleed much for him, Ru
dolph would put aside hi* own person
al preference and would coutlou# to
wear the grown, even though It hurt
hls own honor In the wearing.
There 1* *ueh a thing as a man mak
ing a fetish of hls honor, and not only
bowing down and worshipping It him
self, but coolly sacrificing to it those
to whom he la nearest and dearest.
The decision of Hobson as well ns
that or Rudolph is one for a meta
physician to pass Judgment upon.
THE POINT OF VIEW.
To the Editor of the Herald—Sir:
A clever man has Bald that the only
reason women do not have even greater
successes in the spheres of life in
which they competo with men is due,
not to the fact that they are intellec
tually inferior, but because they can
not he Impersonal In tbelr attitude to
wards the world.
This may or may not ho true In
most lines, but it is undeniably true in
regard to the development or non-do
velopment of a woman’s critical facul
ty. The woman who can criticise Im
personally is Indeed a rarity even
among ihe'most brilliant of her sex.
Recently, the works of a certain pop
ular author came up for discussion
among a number of pre-eminently
brainy women, and they all gave their
reasons why they admired or disliked
his books. Almost without exception
there was some purely personal motive
underlying, ovary preference or preju
dice. One, who was a staunch advo
cate of the man under discussion fin
ally confessed that her fondness Tor
his" chief novel really grew out of the
fact that the scene was laid In her
ojvii home, and that many of*he char-

Mr, Hull alao started :at<* the rear
of the BHilAmot A# he entered or
was about to enter, a larg* bulldog
made toward him Hl* safety was in
remaining beyond the fence
Prom hla position there Mr. HuU
waa able to make out the whetcaisjuU
of Mr, North. »
When Mr. North had gon \on the
premises, advancing quit# far before
he noticed the fact, he wa* met by
this bulldog The dog and the v el
tor aaw each other about the saute
time
"Hello, old fellow," **ld Mr North,
and the salutation waa met with a
savage growl.
The dog made for the Intruder.
There was but a moment for Mr.
North to decide. Escape be muat.
A small thicken coop wa* at hand.
The dog waa coming, lu Mr. North
sprang, closing the door after him.
The coop was not large enough for
him to stand. Ho wa* compelled to re
main in half-handing position, which
in a few minute* became tiresome and
almost unbearable.
The moir uncomfortable he became
the more honeyed the young man be
came toward the dog. "Good doggie,
"nice doggie"— the patronlilng terms
being met each time by an ugly growl.
The dog went on duty. He laid
down beside the chicken coop, paw*
outstretched, head betwen paws,
tongue lolling out, hla eye* on the
cooped-up man. "Come. Weyler. ’
"Poor old Spaniard." "There is a nice
dog.' were received with a blink of
the eye or a grunting growl.
"For God's V«ke get me out of this,"
cried Mr. North to Mr. Hull when he
found out that that gentleman had ar
rived. "I am suffocating, I am about
to faint. I dan't stand thi*‘ much
longer.”
"Where In the thunder are you.
called Mr. Hull from the ether side of
the fence.
“I'm in the chicken coop; been here
for two hours; the coop isn't big
enough for a turkey; the bulldog
brute Is watching me like a hawk; get
me out of here."
"Courage, my noble hoy; courage for
a few moments, and I will bring you
aid. Talk to the dog and pacify him
till I come back.”
“Pacify nothing. Get me out of here
o the will tear me to pieces."
Mr. Hull was back with Mr. Sibley
as soon as possible, and Mr. North
was released. He has not yet straight
ened out.
"That's the last time T enter prem;
ises at the rear after dark" Mff. North
has declared. "I feel bent and de
crepit."

Waiting for You.
One little lamb In the upper fold.
From the heat of the summer and win

Safe from earth's guile
And its dreams untrue.
One little lamb is waiting for you.
One Utile darling, whose pattering feel.
With the prophets of old, tread the
golden street, ,
Or wander forever,
‘Mid Eden’s bowers.
Waiting for you,
Through the golden hours.
One little angel who only came
Earthward to murmur her mother's
name,
Luring U:r heart
To the land above
In the broken accent*
Of baSy love.
On® little lamb, from all sorrow free,
Through the long years of Eternity.
From tire heat «f summer
And winter’s cold
Is waiting for you
In tile upper fold. •

can be done I* to take care to obtain
them from th# beat source available,
and to give them for what they are-j
rumor* or opin'on*. not as hatd fact.
This 1* what we did. It is more sat
isfactory. of course, to receive haul
facU, and for that reason we are
pleased to learn that the secrecy of the
Paris proceedings la now at an end.
or 1* at any rate so far modified as to
let the truth leak out somehow. Hut
the truth, now we have It, Is disap
pointing in Itself. The telegrams
seem to show clearly that the proceed
ings are to be prolonged. The sus
pense tbe dangerous uncertainty of
the situation in the Philippines, is
likely to last a long time yet. Paren
cia! That Is the most essential word
to be learnt in Manila. Pacencia, si-m
--pre Paceucia! We have waited, waited,
waited: we waited weeks and weeks
for General Merritt, then weeks more
before anything was-done: we have to
wait again ar.d the intense anxiety
will make man? people five years old
er in as many months. Here are hun
dreds of mercantile people, trades peo
ple and professional men, thousands of
workmen and millions of peasants,
whose livelihood depends on their la
bors. and who (lare not go ahead with
their every day occupations because
they do not know which course to se
lect.
"And at every end and turn, they
meet with baffling perplexities. ‘lf the
Americans stay. I must do this; if the
Spaniards stay. I must do that; if oth
er solutions of the problem are arrived
at, I must do differently.’ It W'l’l make
all the difference In the world to every
Individual who has to work for a liv
ing—the poorest and the richest and
the smallest and the greatest. To the
American soldiers also it will make a
great difference. Some of the volun
teers will go home to iheir regular
business, some may stay to develop
the country, some may send for their
wive s and families, some may be anx
ious to get back as soon as possible
and at any cost. The suspense is
cruel.” .

umns are guite wide and many adver-
I tisementa appear.
It is published at Vlerues. Porto

Mme. Patti’s Burglar Alarm*.
Visiting Mme. Patti's superb castle
In Wales, a guest not long sgo had a
v»ry curious experience. He chanced
to open hls window in the middle of
the night, and. to his surprise, bells
h#gan to ring in every quarter of the
grounds.
Very much soared, but realizing (has
he had, after all. only set n burglar
alarm going, the guest descended to re
i assure the household, when he in
(stantly found himself In danger from
a dozen roving dogs, who had obtained
Uheir freedom and were growling and
snapping in the ugliest manner.
At breakfast next morning he learn
ed all about this curious fad of Mme.
Patti’s aad wondered at it. Tbe singer
I has a great dread of burglars. Some
time ago a gang cf these gentlemen
from London attempted to obtain ad-
I mittance, but were defeated in their
i object, and since tha. date Mme. Patti
' has set up every kind of burglar alarm
that exists.
The queer part about one cf these
is, however, well worth noticing. Her
i largest cY-g, an enormous brute, who
I might be relied on to cope with a little
army of thieves. Is kept rigorously
j chained In a patent kennel, but t-e
chain 1* so arranged that should any
'one attempt to open a window or s
doer in the castle the dog Is released
and free •" rove at his pleasure.
