Congress has adjourned until Jan. Dili.
Mrs. Mnry 1). Leaso has decided that
6lio will be a candidate for congress from
the Big Seventh Kansas district next
year. She thinks slio can mauago to
secure to Pop nomination all right.
The division of China has begun sure
enough. Sho lias now ceded Port Ar-
thur to Russia. Sho is now in condi-
tion to be squeezed betweeu llussia and
Germany but beforo the sqeezing pro
cceds very far England and Franco will
tako a hand in the game.
Beaver county pays 305.99 insur-
anco on her school houses a net loss
an unwarranted and uncalled for picco
of demo-pop foolishness. But then as
nearly all the bills passed by the late la
tucntcd legislature were of tho same
nature we don't know as any especial
kick should bo registered against the
school insurance law.
Instead of punishing Butcher Weyler
for his ptrocities in Cuba as was threat
encd the Spanish government and peo-
ple are making a hero of him. Last
week ho was favorably received at tho
palaco in Madrid and had a long confer
enco with tho Queen Bcgent. Woyler
is just tho kind of a monster to become
tho idol of the Spaniards who admire a
butcher of human beings abovo all other
things human or divino. It would not
bo surprising if Weyler should soon be-
como the real head of tho Spanish government.
Territorial Auditor Hopkins com
mends himself to tho pcoplo by ruling
that tho. conveyance of prisoners to the
penitentiary and insano persons to the
asylum shall no longer bo turned into
holiday excnrfions by sheriffs and their
deputies. Only "actual expenses" for
this service is to bo allowed hereafter.
That's too bad That business has here-
tofore been what printers call a "fat
take." Kingfisher Freo Press.
- Has it? flow about sheriffs in tho
thinly populated western counties? Tako
Beaver for instance. Tho nhcriil re-
ceives "no salary only fees and mileage.
The sheriff pays out something liko SCO
in good monoy on a trip to Norman for
"actual expenses." In return he receives
a territorial warrant worth 80 cents on
I he 'dollar entailing an actual cash loss
on tho sheriff of about 812 for each
trip not counting his time. Wonder
how Adrairo er Hopkin3 would liko to
be sheriff of Beaver county and take a
few such "holiday excursions."

The appropriation committee of con-
gress recomraendod 819400 for salaries
$500 contingent expenses and $21000
legislative expenses. This is tho amount
that tho federal government pays for tho
privilego of having the power to appoint
a few moro men to office than it can in a
htate. On the other hand this is tho
amount of money the territory spends
without taking much account of its
legislative bodies usually voting enough
more to make up tho amount it is not
responsible for. Tho politicians that in-
tend to run for tho next legislature
should take notice of tho amount of tho
federal appropriations and 8eo if it will

supplanted Paganism in Europo tho
same practices wero kept up but instead
of a god the imago of a saint was set up.
Tho bottlo of wine is therefore tho sur-
vival of tho libation poured out by tho
Phoenicians Greeks and llomaos while
the presence of n young girl to throw
tho bottle and namo tho ship is a relic
of tho equally ancient idea that a vir-
gin's offering is mora acceptable to tho
genii of tho seas than that of a matron.
Guthrio Leader: W. S. Hinds who
i9 in tho city from South McAlestcr 'I
T. said yesterday: "There is something
peculiar and pathetic attaching to tho
visit of John Brown and his full-blood
Seminolo brethren to Muskogeo to treat
with tho Dawes commission. Ono of
the delegates said yesterday: 'Wo havo
made more treaties than any other pco-
plo on the faco of tho earth and not-
withstanding tho promises of tho Great
Father at Washington every treaty has
cost us something either in influence or
lands.' In tho perpetuity of his raco
ho sees no sign of encouragement and
in the possession of his lands there is no
promiso of profit. Amalgamation and
segregation will completely annihilate
the race and at the end o'f tho next
century tho American Indian will be
known only in history A race of peo-
ple that fought against the encroach-
ments of tho whito man for 400 years
and at last gavo up a hemisphere will
livo on through eternity in history in
song in story but at the end of the
coming cycle thcro will not bo left n
full-blood Indian to tell of departed
greatness and tho loss of tho fourth
part of this big round earth."
SPANISH OPINION OP THE PRESI-
DENT'S MESSAGE.
CHU1STMASTIME FIFTY YEAKS AGO.
Some ono has been looking up the his-
tory of tho custom of baptizing a vessel
by breaking a bottlo of wino over her
prow when sho is launched is of heathen
origin. In ancient times it was custom-
ary to place tho vessel under tho protecs
tlon of some god and just before tho
sbip was launched a feast wos given in
honor of that particular deity the ship
was decorated with flowers and stream"
crs an im?ge of tho vessel's protector

could be procutcd was poured out as a J wbo'.e lot more
Tho more tho Spaniards htudy the
President's Mcssago tho less they seem
to liko it. Tho comments of tho Span-
ish press when they first received tho
mesnago were rather flattcriog than oth-
erwise. In fact they thought from n
superficial reading of it that tho Presi-
dent was altogether on tho side of Spain
and against Cuba; but when they took
timo to stndy the document thoroughly
they found that it was a plain and ex-
haustive statement of facts concerning
tho Cuban situation and contained no
sympathy whatever for Spain; that the
President's sympathies wero altogether
with tho Cubans and only consideration
of intcrnationallaw and carefulness for the
tho pecuniary interests American citizens
restrained him from asking Congress to
immediately recognize tho belligerent
rights of tho Cubans.
Since they have moro carefully studied
tho President's Message tho Spanish
newspapers havo changed their tune nnd
aro now abusing tho President for the
tono of the messago as well as all Amer-
icans for their sympathy with Cuba. La
Lueha tho Spanish official paper pub-
lished in Havana voices the opinion of
all tho rest of the Spanish uewspapcrs in
tho following summiog up of President
McKinlcy's Meesago to Congress:
"1. Wo don't recognizo Cuban bel
ligerency becauso such a declaration
would barm both tho insurgents and tho
American citizens who re3idu in tho
island.
"2 Wo caused Gen. Weyler to bo
recalled because wo found that hid meth-
ods were too brutal.
"3. Wo demanded tho liberty of all
tho American citizens who wero held in
prison and our demand whether just or
unjust was granted.
"4. Wo havo imposed tho adoption
by the Spanish authoritity of such pro-
ceedings as wo chose and. just tho eamo
as wo havo heretofore intervened by
peaceful means in the affairs of tho island
we shall interveno by forco whenever It
may pleaso us to do so.
"5. Wo shall allow Spain a reasona-
ble period within which sho must pacify
Cuba; if sho docs not succeed in this we
shall carry out our forcible intervention
as 60on as wo may deem proper."
La Lueha further says: "A document
as aggressive as McKinlcy's messago was
never issued by a government which in-
voked friendship and sincerity as the
motivo of its conduct. They are blind
who don't see clearly through all this."
In addition to this it is learned that
that twenty generals in the Spanish army
havo come to an agreement to engineer
a protest against McKinlcy's message to
Congress which is considered insulting
to tho Spanish army.
From all this it appears that tho Span-
iards are really beginning to understand
tho situation. Between uow and uext
April they will have a chance to learn a
Wo wonder how tho boys and girls of
to-day who havo lived all their short
lives on tho great prairies of tho west
would enjoy Christinas times as they
wero observed a half century arid more
ago in tho parts of tho United States
that wero called "settled" at' that time.
As it is not possiblo to turn Time back-
ward however possiblo it may bo for one
to tako a Hip Van Winkle sleep wo
will never know just what they would
think of tho way their grandfathers en-
joyed themselves.
If wo could "Turn Timo backward in
bis flight" and plaeo things as they wero
fifty years ao wo would find an entirely
different sort of a world. Then thcro
wero no railroads reaching out from tho
eastern coast into tho interior; there
wero no telegraph lines no telephones
no talking maciiines very lew cook
stoves and no free schools. In fact wo
would find but few things as they arc
to day. Even tho belief in Santa Glaus
has changed.
In tho port of Ohio whero tho writer
passed his boyhood doys thero wero
moro woods than cleared land. Very
few pcoplo owned largo tracts of land in
thoso parts; tho farm 3 wero generally
small and the houses not very far apart.
It was a good thing too that the houses
wero no great distanco apart for some-
times a family would lit the firo go out
and then soma ono would have to go to
a neighbor's and "borrow" somo livo
coals to start it up again for wo had no
matches.
In those days tho young folks and
tho old ones too for that matter had
to depend upon husking and quilting
"bees" spelling and singing schools
wood choppings and log rollings and
such like for amusement and sociability
during the fall and winter months. Wo
imagine that a young man of tho pres-
ent day would think it pretty bard lines
if he had to chop wood all day or husk
corn for three or four hours at night for
tho privilege ofwalking homo with his
best girl. Yet thd boys did it then and
thought it was fun. But thcro wero a
few holiday occasions when nobody was
expected to do much work and the chief
of theso was Christmas time.
Thcro was not much style in tho ob
servance of Christmas rites. Sometimes
thcro wero Christmas trees in somo of
the villages but tho giving of gifts and
the general hilarity was mostly confined
to tho homes tho gifts being placed in
tho stockings hung around tho great firo
place or tied to tho stocking of tho oco
for whom it was intended. Tho Christ-
mas time began on Christmas eve and
preparations wero made according to
rule in all country homes as follows:
On tho afternoon beforo Christmas a
huge log of wood so large that it re-
quired the strength of threo or four men
or big boys to "snako" it into tho houso
and put in plaeo was put into tho firo
plarc. Thoso firo places wero huge af-
fairs eight ten and sometimes twelve
feet wide and deep accordingly. When
this hugo log called a Yulo log or Christ-
mas back log was in place another log
a third or half as large was v laced on the
iron "dog3" in front for a fore stick and
then dry wood was piled on between tho
"uougliton ' siior. ijor you mutt know
that wo did not pet or 'Miocs in those
days as wo do uow e to a store and
buy when wo needed them. Then wo
had to wait for the sh cmakor to romo
around and mako up tie footwear need-
ed by tho family Tin shoemaker would
take his kit of tools te a houso and stay
thero until ho made 10 shoes wanted;
then ho would movo lvs jkit to another
house and so on. uatil ho went tho
round of tho neighbor ood. As tho fam
ilies were generally lat'c tho boys and
eirls were lucky who rcot their winter
shoes beforo Christmas. One winter tho
writer did not get his Svintcr slices until
in February. Only n small assortment
of rcotly mado footwear was kept by tho
country merchants and thq goods wero
almost worthless. - .
The ''butchering" work was all dono
up before Christmas and for breakfast
Christmas morning thcro would bo well
browned sparo ribs sausage wcrst pig's
feet and sweet breads SuacLe J up by
stacks of buckwheat cakes butter and
mujlle syrup fruit butters pickles and
sauces.
But tho great feast was dinner
when roast goose or turkey pumpkin
and miuce pics were added to oil other
edibles in tho house. And wo must not
forget tho cider. Thero wero barrels of
it in the cellar and everybody drank
cider and cat doughnuts' between meals
to keep from getting hungry.
Christmas was supposed to last until
after New Year iiud thero was great
feasting and eleighriding- and dancing
by tho young folk?. This was tho great
time for tho old folks to visit around
and tell their wonderful stories of wiz-
ards and witches and ghosts and "gob-
lins damned." Seated around tho great
wide firo plaeo tho visitors would tell
stories of these imaginary beings that
would nearly scare tho life out of ihe
little people in fact tho tellers of tho
stories believed them and' actually pot
scared themselves over tho hair lifting
yarns they told.

two logs the firo was siarted and kept
roaring as long as anybody staid out of
bed. Thus the Christmas festivities wero
lawfully inaugurated.
On tho night beforo Christmas when
every last child had tired of cracking
nuts eating apples popping corn and
playing Blind Man's Bluff and Button
and all wero tucked in bed and sleeping
as childhood only can sleep when tho
stockings wero all hung up tho firo was
covered with ashes tho old folks wero
supposed to retire and all was ready for
Santa Claus to como down tho great
wide chimney with his big pack on his
back. And ho always came at least it
was mighty seldom that n stocking was
found empty on Christmas morning.
And such wonderful things as Santa
Claus did brirjg would bo hard to find
theso daysl Thcro wero little tin whis-
tles which wouldn't whistle; little wood-
en soldiers whoso arms and legs would
fall off the first day and wooden horses
and dogs whoso legs and tails would como
off tho first timo (hey wero handled.
Thcro wero wonderful rag dolls with
painted faces and sticks for armej plenty
of walnuts hickory nuts hazel nuts and
apples: and last but most precious a
few striped sticks of candy or somo
sugar kisses. The nuts andrapples wero
all gathered on tho farm but they were
thankfully received as gifts from Santa
Claus.
Sometimes among thu Christmas gilta
lwere chocs fot the tittle folks real
of tho year except Fonrth of July was
taken up with hard steady work. Of
courso every neighborhood had a small
number of idle no'r-do-welN who never
worked much hard drinkers and hard
swearcre. Thoso felloes would havo the
devil's own time during Christmas holi-
days. Almost ovcry day then they would
havo shooting matches for tuikcys or
geese and Boinotiu.es for beeves. Gen-
erally each day's "sport" would wind up
with a fist fight or two and sometimes
end in a general melee whero everybody
was supposed to obey tho good old rule
"Wherever you sec a head hit it." Pis-
tols and knives were barred in fights in
those times and nono but cowards used
them; but it was thoug'hl to bo perfectly
pioper to gougo a man's eyes out or chew
bis cars or noso off.
But times have changed in all these
things. Many things aro better uow
than they wero then and pcoplo know
more; but we doubt if tho general and
public donation of gifts from a Christ
mas tree aro really as cnjoyablo ai wero
tho family reunions and homo gifts and
feasting of tho days of old. It pains us
too to hear little tots of livo years old ex-
pressing their doubts about thcro being
any Santa Claus. Things may be better
now but still when Christmas timo rolls
round wo find ourself "hankering" for
tho wido old chimney with its roaring
hickory fire; for tho old fushiuned sim-
plicity; for the nuts and apples and
cider and especially for the buckwheat
cakes and minco and pumpkin pics "liko
mother used to mako 'cm."
