To The Tribune Ah the Christmas season tuts come upon us. unusual happiness and pleasure has come with il There is in most every home an air of pleasant mystery. There is • itch <i joy in giving. At no season in the year is it so truly demonstrat ed that "It is more blessed to give, than to receive 1 tut is not our giving touched vv itli selfishness or ihe oollgjuory sense? Do we not give most where we love best, tnd often where it is least net ded. when just a few little things would have made so many happy? I once heard a man say that Christ mas consisted in giving to everybody else the tilings he hud always want ed for himself That was from obli gation A few lines from Amelia Itarr, though not hearing upon the Christmas theme, seems to meet it so exactly. She says. "We must not forg -t that In our journey through I . are burdens which we may lawfully make our own. We may help the weak an.I tie struggling on to their f 'et, when they have fallen in the battle of life We may comfort those touched by the finger of God We may copy the good Samaritan, not forgetting the oil and twopence. Wo may wipe the tears from the eyes of the widow, and the fatherless. In hearing such burdens as those we find ourselves in good company; for in the tabernacles of sanctified suf fering. we may conte m ar to the Di vine Burden Dearer; and going on messages of mercy, one may meet - angels going the same vva; Then in the short time left to us to bring Christ mas happiness to oth ers, let us turn our thoughts to tin poor and unfortunate, the sick and erring; let each of us make the bur den of one another our burden, and In some little way bring joy and hap pi ness to some other soul who is less fortunate than we. Then we will truly know the happiness and joy of Christmas, and feel as never be fore the "Peace on Earth, Good Will Toward Men,” that the anniversary of our Savior's birth should bring to all MISS CHEERFUL.

Many New Ones Added to Our List of Satisfied Readers. Tlii' Holiday Kdition of the Trib ine is more or less responsible for i mushroon growth of its subscription i si (lie pas I week. Since our last see we have added thirty-one new l.eies, all the pay-in-nd \ auee kind. Most of them mentioned our splen lld Holiday edition in their conver lation or letter. One gentleinan from ShuhciT wrote is, sending liis check for $10,50, to jether witli the names of six friends mil relatives, and n ipiei-ting that liis jwii suliseription account be credited lo January 1, 1911 One Falls City lady renewed her own Hiibserlpl Ion and rent the paper I for one year to each of her two mar ried daughters. In two eases a father renewed liis own subscription and placed a sou in one case and a daughter In tin* oilier upon The Tribune list. These compliments, together with the new subscriptions.almost made us wisli that Christmas came every week so we could be the recloients of one i mil ir,nous string of plea lire. We really like it HIGH SCHOOL ABROAD Honorable Mention Made by Several to Professor Hurst When Mr. Hurst returned from the State Teachers’ Meeting at Lincoln, lie told ns somethings that made us feel pretty proud. Among other tilings,lie said that not less than a doz en superintendents of the schools ove the state, asked about the Orange and Black, saying that it was among tlit* best High School papers in the state, lie also said that Fail Cline, n for mer student of our High School read a paper on "Athletics in the High School,” In which ho stated that Falls City had made the boast, that none of her High School boys used tobacco habitually, and ibis article will be printed in a physical culture magazine in New York. A school is always known by its pupils. Then bt us hope and strive that our High School will always be known by its strong womanly and manly young people. Let us not forget that we-' should always do the right tiling not (mil for the sake of our own honor, hut also for the suite of the honor of our school. May the name of our High School never he lowered by the thoughtlessness and weakness of any ol' its members- Orange and Black. / - ——--1— — MARRIED AT AUBURN.

Letter From our Regular Correspond-! ent at Kansas City. Kansas City, December 20, 1000— Surprisingly heavy cattle receipts! last week at all the markets gave the situation over to the buyers, and thereby precipitated the worst break] of the year on fed steers. The Janu ary brand of weather that, lias pre vailed over the country for two weeks of more caugnt feeders unprepared, and made it difficult or impossible to get corn out of fields in some sec tions, and muddy roads and feed lots added the last compelling motive that made a large number of feeders send in their tattle ahead of previous cal culations, and contrary to their best interests. Declines ran from 35 to 75 cents on steers, but the break was not so bad on cows, and stockers and feeders lost only 15 to 25 cents, cal ves 25 to 50 lower, bulls steady for the week. The run today is much reduced tit all markets, and only 6.000 head here, and prices are sharply higher, steers up to 15 to 25 cents, cows 10 to 25 higher, stockers and feeders firm. The heavy run last week made trade extremely slow, and some owners made the mistake of shipping their cattle forward to another market, only to find condi tions there worse than here, as the market kept on declining from day to day. Buyers began to fear there would be insufficient supplies this week at the last end of last week,and bought the small offerings Friday at stronger prices. Top steers sold to day at $6.75, nothing prime here, bulk of steers at $4.80 to $6.25,cows up to' $4.75, heifers $3.40 to $6.00, calves $3.50 to $8.00, bulls $3.25 to $4.60, stockers $3.20 to $4.60, feeders $4.00 to $5.25. Dog prices held up pretty good last week in view of (lie big run\of near ly 80,000 head, heaviest run since January, with the exception of one week in May, and the market closed at tlie high point of the year $8.50 for tops. There is a persistent ru mor going around that larger sup ples are in prospect, and provisions specialists are manifesting a lack of confidence in future prices. There is a falling off in the cash de mand for products, and all the signs apparently point to a down ward turn in the market. Tile sup ply here today is 9,600 head, market 5 lower, (op $8.45. bulk $8.15 to $8.40. Run of hogs in Chicago last week was heavier than since the first week in February this year. Sheep and lambs averaged about steady last week, after considerable fluctuating, and the market is steady today, with choice Iambs worth $7.80 to $8.25, yearlings $6.65 to $7.15, wethers $5.25 to $5.75, ewes $4.80 to $5.25, goats $3.90 to $4.25, feeding lambs $6.50 to $6.75. Run is 5,000 here today and the supply last week was 31.(>00 head, about normal for second week in December. J. A. RICKART, Live Stock Correspondent. TWO DEATHS AT HUMBOLDT.

Manager A New Three Act Farce Comedy By C. H. KERR Author of ‘ The Beauty Doctor,” ‘Papa's Baby," “Dollie Dimples." "Oyer the Fence. " ‘‘A Trip to Egypt,” Etc. The Story. A small village which has served as a resting place for tired business men from the city, has received word that there is to be an institution for the reformation of burglars and house breakers established in theiV little town not wishing to mingle with law breakers, protest loudly against the plan. After deluging the secretary of the society for burglars with pro tests and sending a petition to the owner of the land they find that in spite of their opposition the society is coming to their village to erect this institution. The members of the reform com mittee which has the power to select a location for the institution is Baron Deusterhunt. it Crimnologist, Mrs. Bartlett Bayne, and her daughter, Georgia Bayne, who are all coming from Germany. Working upon the theory that many persons living abroad believe that the Indians still roam wild through out America and that most of the United States is still in a semi-law less state, the villagers decide to l make the committee believe their town is not a fit place to locate a reform institution and in fact, not I even fit. to live in. For this purpose the mayor of the village becomes a tough, his wife, an Indian squaw,The leading clergyman, a clerical toper, the judge of the court a noted law breaker, the Sunday School teacher, a ferocious mad man, his wife a flirt, etc., etc. The villagers begin upon the arrival of the committee with their outrageous actions and get the members of the committee into all sorts of dilemma’s until at last they uecide that the village is too wicked even for a burglar and depart.

So said the poet Pope, and in accord with this idea a high school student, in the Christmas number of The Orange and Black, seeks to ana'y/.e the character, to place in tneii proper category, to classify and properly file, as it wore, (he mem ber.- of the two basket ball teams of the High School. The chart is in genious, to say the least, and while of no particular interest to many outside of the school, is much ap preciated and enjoyed by those who flaunt the colors of the school, and by their hosts jot friends. The chart or diagram is the creation of a Jun ior, Miss Celia Dittmar, and her wis don is shown, if the reader will stop to consider, by the fact that she omits the “disposition” column in her analysis of her sister students.
