R.| Scott Hyde, D. D., at Hanscom Park Meth- | odist Episcopal church Sunday morning. | ‘With the coming of Christ, childhood | came into its own. Prior to this time and | up to Chris’s coming, virtue was scoffed at, human soclety was at its lowest moral ebb and childhood struggled in a precrrious existence of hopeless abandonment. “There is no narrative in universal lit-| simple gospel story from the second chap- ter of Luke., The fMight of Christ's birth was in beautiful harmony with the event. | that of bringing the supreme announce- | ment, the tidings of great joy. | “Christ's coming was great tidings to the lowly, for had He been born in a palace | and brought up in luxury His life would | its great lesson. His after life was in keeping with His birth. | He taught the lesson that it is possible for | a man to be virtuous though far removed | from luxury, and that it was possible for | & man to be wealthy without being rieh. “His coming was tidings of great oy to all who had been born without a sense of | moral responsibility. He came as a Savior | to all men. When He came religion had lost its hope, paganism was waning and | darkness had set in over the moral world and it was the night of despair. But His coming was the Light of Salvation and the re-birth of Hope. “His coming promised a moral regenera- | tion of the world and brought the tidings of peace and good will. 1h the days of | Herod there was no peace.

It is Impossible for | us to realize upon what misery the love- | blinded eyes of the Holy Light then shone. | I belleve that the time will come when | universal peace shall prevail; when truth shall at last reign \ “Goodness, kindness, charity and good will were forgotten when Christ was born But with Christ's birth came-that magic and the rich, the employer and the wm- ployed, softened the cynicism of the miser and the iron hearts of selfish mankind ““Oh, beautiful day that can go soften the hearts of the world that it bends all man- kind to the tenderest emotions of broth- erly love.

He reached to a plle of clothing, slipping it Into his bag and turned to creep Into an open closet door. He groped along the floor. A sudden scream, a howl of pain, elec- trified the sleepers who leaped out of bed | and snapped on the light in time to see '"'i housebreaker fleeing from the room with his booty bag In one hand and a savage mouse trap dangling from a finger of the other.

Frank L. Fitchett of Dundee received, he says, eight blows between the eyes, two jolts on the jaw. three wallops on the month and a biff or two for good measure on other parts of his physiognomy. i Fitchett testified to this in county court, | also imparting the Information that Henry C. Baird was the man behind the fist. Mr. | Baird is b ing & hearing on a charge of | assault sworn to by Fitchett. The alleged assault took place November | 28, on a peaceful Sunday afterncon when all Dundee is supposed to be calm. A chicken had escaped from the Fitchett | menage and Fitchett pursued into the yard | of his next door neighbor. | Then occourred the encounter. It will be recalled that a shorl time before this Baird had Fitchett arrested and brought to| county court on & charge of discharging & revolver without a license. There has| been trouble between the men for & long | time and Fitchett, who is 71 years of and was formerly an Indian agent at the | Santee-Sloux reservation, built a famous “spite” fence between the two houses, | which are on Cass street between Fiftieth and Fifty-first. Baird has yet to teil his| version on the stand. ISAAC BATTIN GIVEN A MEDAL| Engineer and Treasurer of Omah Gas Company Honored in High Degree by His Associates. The Omaha Gas company gave Its em- ployes and families a Christmas celebra- tion on Christmas eve at the office of the| company. George H. Waring, superin- tendent, presided at these festivities. A fine musical and vocal program, with recitations by the little children of the employes was rendered. Isaac Battin, engineer and treasurer, who has been connected with the Omaha com- pany for twenty-four years, was given the gold ‘medal annually presented to the em- ploye who has the longest term of service with the company. Mr. Battin 1s one of the oldest gas men in the United States, having been for fifty-five years con- in the business. G. W.

What next happened is disagreed about, but it appears beyond dispute that Vaciay gave Ross Turpkoh #0, and promised to give §250 more. This $20 was seciired by a Sote and a mortgage upon Vaclay Novak's Nomestead.

Announcements @i the Theaters.

They wera made by Zimmerman, one of the three lcading Parisian dressmakers, and are not the mere prodycts of a theatrical costumer’s estab- lishment. ‘“The Merry Widow” hats, worn in Maxfm's scene in the last act, are from tie shop of Louls Lolitre, one of the most temous Parisian milliners. We might say in this connection that Onaha will have a chance to be one of the first’ citles to see the new gowns, which just arrived from Parls and were deilvered to the Henry W.
