And yet the rates on through business must te very profitable when the companies who now control it can afford to subsi- dize the Northern Pacific railroad and the Pacific Mail Steamship companies to to the extent of 1,000,000 a year for re- fraining to compete for this business. 1t is conceded that rates on through business is profitable. Is it not down- right robbery; to extort a still greater rate for half the distance, and that half the part that is most cheaply operated?

It is the pagan misletoe un- der which the Christian youth kisses the Christian maid, It is the holly of the y | old Roman Saturnalia which decorates " MUEILILER, Bracebride Hall on Christmas eve, The huge smoking baron of beef, the flowing oceans of ale, are but the survivals of the tremendous cating and drinking of the Scandinavian Walhalla, The Christian and ante-Christian foel ing blend in the happy season, and the Christian observance mingles at every point with the pagan rite, It is not easy to say where the paganism ends and the Christianity begins, The earol and the wassall, the prayers and the games, the generous hospitality, hobby-horse and the lord of misrule, Maid Marian and Santa Claus, are a curious medley of the old und the new. As the religious thoughit of all ages and countries, when it reaches a certain elevation, flows into an expres- sion which makes the scriptures of the most divergent nations harmonious, the history of this happy festival is evidence of the common humanity of the earlier and later races;and the stranger in Brace. bridge hall, musing by the glowingheartl, on Christmas-eve, as he watches the romping revelry Leneath the glistening berries, and Jistens to the waifs carolling 7 outside in the moonlight, or as he is wakened on Christmas morning by the hushed patter of children's feet in the passage, and the shy music of children’s voices at his door, may well seem to hear cateh a “Before, A more celestial strain, and to deeper meaning in the worde, \braham was, 1 am.’ Brown's Bronchial T d Colds: 1 do not see for a public man to be him: t this admirable aid.

A Lucky Newspaper Man, I saw young John McLoans, who owns The Cincinnati Enqguirer and bosses one- half of the Ohio democracy in Willard's hotel the other night. It was just be fore tho election of speaker, and McLean and Joe Rickey, a sporting gentleman of St. Louis, were talking about the pros. wects. Rickey wanted McLean to bet. TeLean rofused, saying he knew nothing about the contest and was not_interested init. Rickey reported that McLean was afraid, and made the assertion that The Cincinnati Enquirer was easily bluffed McLean replied that he was nover afraid to bet on_an even thing, and if Rickey was really bound to bet he would give him a chance. With that he pulled out | a silver dollar, laid 1t on the counter and covered it with his hand. “Now Joe Rickey,” said he, “I'll mateh you for 8500, If you arc so anxious to there is your chance.” Rickoy looked a little funny at this, but finally replied “all vight, fished a quarter out of his pocket and laid it on the counter heside the hand of John McLean, MeLean then asked, *‘ls the money to be paid in cash or drafts!” “‘Drafts on New \nrl:,' said Rickey. He then continued, still keeping his hand over his coin, *Well, are you matching me, or am 1 matehir g youl" “I am matching you,” replied Rickey. Al right,” said Mclioan, and he removed = his hand. The tail of Rickey's quarter lay side by side with the head of Meclean's dollar, and McLean won his bot. Rickey handed 1t went o’ took a draft from his pocket, over to McLean, and the two fellows hiving, and everything he touches secms to turn into cash. Less than ten years ago he took charge of The Cinein- nati Enquirer, when it was but_little known outside of Cincinnati, and had about six thousand circulation. Now it goes over the whole country, has nearly Lty thousand circulation, and could not De bought for less than a million and a . John McLean owns every , and he has besides o lot of real estate in Cincinnati and other property, which puts him high up in the rank of wmillion- aires.

He reads every tine in the paper, and usually goes over it with an amanuensis at his side, to whom he issues instructions as he goes along. He watches the local columns closely, and when he sees a goodlocal item writes it out himself, as he also often does the introduction to any prominent local fea- ture in the paper. He is well liked by his employes, and they look on him rather as a friend than as a task master. John McLean is now 35 years old. He weighs 180 pounds and is the picture of health, He has a big, round head, slightly bald, o bright, black eye, and fat, rosy cheeks, His hair is black and his mustache of a reddish brown, He s well educated, talks French and (ierman, and converses well.

The new (,,nlmudu Senator attracts considerable curious attention, especially from the crack poker playors at the capital, who in some way or other have got it into their heads that Mr. Bowen, who only knows an ace of clubs is not a stack of shingles, is remarkably expert at the game.
