Mr. Rentschler. a resident of
' ouiFville. was engaged for a num
' er of years as an employe of the
defendant railroad company in the
apacity of a worker on their bridge
-rang.
On September 12, 1230, the plain
lift i tales that he was so engaged in
the service of the Missouri Pacific
company and in the curtailment of
work he was laid off. The issue of
the case te that of whether the rail
road had the right to lay off the
plaintiff and retain in the bridge
rang men younger in years of Bertie
than the plaintiff.
It la alleged that the railroad had
an agreement with the workmen of
the maintenance o? way force and a
seniority list of the employee? of tfci-
department and in which ths plain
tiff had seniority rights over others
retained in rervice at the time he was
'aid off.
Mr. Rentschler asks that he be
rertored his rights and also be a v. ard-.-cl
the sum of $2,990 a? damages sus
tained in loss of employment. It 18
alro claimed that by reason of his;

to an error the November meeting
was reported as "Heme Care of the i &
Sick." which thould have been "Mak
ing Christmas Gifts."
The- next meeting will be a meat

Christmas chimes will soon be
heard.
O'er land and sea its music is
spurred.
Sentinels hear its concord
sweet.
Ringing out its rapture o'er hills
and retreat.
In the early days of not long
ago.
We hung up our stockings, and
then put to bed.
The fire in the firepiaee was all
aglow.
And not banked over until our
prayers were said.
The lullaby seemed to have ro
effect,
For "Santa" would come down
the chimney direct.
And SB our stockings v. ith good
things to eat.
And toys, sleds, wagons, guns,
and a whole battle fleet.
Today v her. Christmas chimes
shall ring.
No lullaby song3 can sooth some
to sleep.
For "Santa" has no crust to
bring.
To distribute amnr.R those who
have no upkeep.
In bonds of affection at this
yuletine.
The "Master" of leve stands by
your side,
If fafo seems against you, and
the right.
Just seek some poor soul who
has sunk out of sight.
And give him a draught from
the depths of your heart.
It may start him on his way and
give him a start.
A loaf may be small and your
own pantry bare.
But some droppings of love ycu
may be able to spare.
And when its all ever, the frag
ments we save.
Thank God for the baskets, and
crumbs of love, that we
crave.
Pray for those who can't see
through the shadow a ray.
To guide them through this
troublesome way,
Eut the light still shines as
bright as the "Star,"
That guided the wise men from
afar,
To the shepherds of the hills,
where chimes that night,
Has girdled the globe with a
new born light. "T"
