On old Judea's hill were shepherds tending Their snowy flocks by night, When, with the mellow beams of star- shine blending, Soft crept a mystic light, Till all about them lay a heavenly glory And in their midst appeared A harbinger who by his wondrous story Brought calm to those who feared And suddenly, there came a great host singing "Praise God this holy morn, "Good will to men and peace today are winging "For lo, the Christ is born!" So came the tidings by an angel heard Who told the Saviour's birth, So was the glorious welcome caroled, Of peace upon the earth. —LIDA ECKK WAGGINS, National Home Journal INFORMAL GIVEN UNDER THE AUSPICES OF Utopia Court, ORDER OF CALANTHE IN HONOR OF THE Missouri State Teach ers' Asso: ciation, —O—AT THE—O— ARMORY HALL, Friday, The 27th.

Address: W. H. HUSTON, Publisher, Sedalia, Mo. Colored Millionaire, R. G. Owens of Los Angeles, Cal., Rated as the Wealthiest Colored Man in the Country—Estimated to Be Worth Millions—Personal Check Honored for $600,000—Money Made in Real Estate in California. R. G. Owens, of Los Angeles, Cal., a successful real estate dealer, is reported to be the wealthiest colored man in the United States. It is claimed that he is a millionaire, and that his personal check for $600,000 is good in Los Angeles banks. Owens' father was one of the Forty-niners, going to California that year after the discovery of gold at Sutter's mill. He accumulated a considerable fortune, which he investe in real estate in Los Angeles. And when he died he left to his son about a dozen pieces of valuable property The son at first was content to collect rents and live in comfort, but drifted into the real estate business. In the first deal he was opposed by some white real estate agents, and the opposition seemed toonly brighten his wits. He took an option a short time later on a $12,000 building, paying $500 cash down; then the other real estate men began to fight him, but Owen stood pat and cleared $7000 on the deal. In another instance he bought afine residence in the most exclusive residence district in Los Angeles, and the rumor went forth that he intended to live there. Big sums were offered him for the property, but held on until he got a price that satisfied him, and he is said to have made several thousand dollars in this venture. Owen has been fortunate in all of his real estate transactions, and has now amassed a fortune, said to be larger than that possessed by any other man or woman of his race in the Unit- NO 14 ed States. He is now 48 years old is bright and intelligent, and he certainly must be able to take care of himself among the big real estate men of Los Angeles. He is married, and lives in one of the finest houses in Los Angeles. Oregon Advocate. The Oklahoma Way. Article XXIII, Section 2 of the constitution, setting forth a definition of the races reads as follows: "Wherever, in this constitution and laws of this state, the word or words, 'colored' or colored race Negro' or Negro race', are used, the same shall be construed to mean or apply to persons of African descent. The term 'white race' shall include all other persons." And the term "white race shall include all other persons," places the Indian in a very embar rassing position. By this the constitution at one fell swoop makes the Indian a white man, and by so doing, if indeed it can do so, the Indian looses all rights the claim on government. This is a pretty how de do. If the constitution is strong enough to do what it says in this section the Indian has been placed in a condition to lose much of rights as an Indian. What next?-State Capital. What next?-State Capital. This legislature can call the sun the moon and the onion a rose but after all, an Indian will remain an Indian though some of them do turn white from fear of being called colored —Cemeter.

In our city, the many who will give easily gifts to those who least need them, will scarcely pay any attention to our unfortunate citizens, who are a hungering for sympathy and good cheer upon that occasion. May we not carry some of the sunshine from our own happy firesides into the sorrowful abodes of the unfortunate and scatter the gloom that envelops them? If we do so, we will emulate the unselfish example of our Beloved Saivoa. Where to bestow a present is a question that certainly demands some consideration: Each individual in a community is responsible for the ills that may betall so long as he falls to strive to remedy them. It he would remove the ills, he must supplant rhem with good cheer. We therefore urge our patrons to visit the unfortunate and share with them your joys. It will strengthen them to meet the conflicts of life fearlessly in youthful year that will shortly appear. Another feature of Christmas giving is the lack of sense in selecting a present. If you must bestow a gift, why not give one that is useful? Gaudy things have no utility in them, are the same as so much trumpery about one's premises. As certain what your friend delights to use and present something servicible. William's Restaurant Menu.

NOT GUILTY No Evidence that Negro Soldiers Shot up Brownsville. FOARKER USES TRUMP CARD. In the investigation by the Senate Committee on military affairs in which the shooting up of Brownsville has extended during the past nine month, many facts have been proven which, to the unbiased mind, would prove conclusively that the evidence upon them before the committee would show that the soldiers could not have fired a single shot on the famous night of August 13th, 1907. There were the conclusive circumstantial evidences of the roll calls under white officers, in which every man answered to his name while the firing was still going on down town; said white officers, in their testimony, all assertion that there was no opportunity of mistake in the calling c. the rolls. Then there was the inspection of the rifles next morning, which showed that the bore of none of the guns were powder stained. Springfield rifles guns can not be fired without being powder stained and it shown there was no opportunity, if they had been fired, to clean them. This to gether with a number of other circumstantial evidences, led up to the microscopic report by the ordinance officers of the War Department which showed that some of the shells picked up inthe streets of Browainville fitted a gun, which arm-chest was nailed and screwed down under ten iron bunks; was full of cosmolene oil, and had not been fired since the target practice at Niobrara. Nebraska which fort the colored soldiers left to go to Bownsville. The double indentations on the shells showing that they had been inserted twice in guns, also proved that these shells were from Fort Niobrara, Nebraska, where when the guns were new and first Drinks fird in target practice, double insertion was at times necessary. But this difficulty had been entirely deface by the time the battalion reached Brownsville. So that beyond any doubt the shells picked up in the streets of Brownsville were shell fired at Fort Niobara, Nebraska, and were taken from a box of shells which company B had upon the rear of B barrack at Fort Browne and were accessible to all visitors of the Fort as souvenirs. Moreover, the manner in which these shells were picked up show ed conclusively that they had simply been placed there by some individuals interested in incriminating the soldiers in the shooting up, as the most of them were picked up in little groups from a foot to foot and twenty incher in diameters, when it has been proven conclusively that in ejecting these shells from the Springfield rifles, the projectile force throws from six to eight feet. But however, all this evidence was not sufficient to firmly establish before country the innocence of the soldiers. It remained for the end of the invasigation at the present time to clearly establish the fact beyond any reasonable doubt. Seven bullet, said to have been cut out of the houses in Brownsvill, into which they had been fired the night of the shooting, were introduced in evidence before the committee, all properly identified. The most of them were offered by Major Blockson on behalf of the government. At a recent meeting of the com mittee it was ordered that two of these bullets should be as lised by some competent metalurgist. One of the bullets selected I selected war fired into the Yurtsin from which it was used by the Blockson. The bullets were sent to the Geological Survey, and by the head of bureau, Dr. Smith referred to Psof. Hiderbrand, who is an expert metalurgist and chemist for that bureau on behalf of government. He annualized the core of the two bullets and his analysis shows that they are not the government army bullet. To test the matter fully, an those on the committee who believed the soldiers did the firing, were amazed and nonplused at this analysis, four other bullets were sent to the metalugist with the same result reached; that they were not government bullets in that they have anatimony when, according to the testimony in Gen. Crowzier, the government bullets have no testimony in them at all. Gen. Crowzier's testimony is borne out by the other expert that the core of Springfield rifle bullet has consisted ever since March 1907 of one part tin to 36 parts lead and no antimony when the analysis of the bullets picked up in the houses in Brownsville shows lead 95.7. No anstamy, has ever been used in any bullet issued to the Army since 1894. Thus it is conclusively demonstrated that the bullets which were found at Brownsville in the houses were not, and are not, government bullets. This is conclusive by the government authority, and how could the shooting have been done by government soldiers if the amunition is not government ammunition? The soldiers had no other and their guns would shoot no other. Could they have been shooting up the town in connection with the citizens? Such reasoning is preposterous and this lattest evidences conclusively demonstrates that the soldiers had no part whatever in the Brownsville affray. State Federation Call.

An extraordinary case of clairvoyance by a child has caused considerable interest here, telegraphs our Christian correspondent. About a fortnight ago a man living in the Oesterdal valley disappeared suddenly from his home, and all search proved vain. The child, John Floettum, 14 years of age, was sent for eight days after the man's disappearance. The boy walked around the house where the man had lived and got a photograph of him, which he carefully examined. Sitting at a table, with his left hand covering his eyes, he drew some lines on a slip of paper, the lines indicating where the man had walked. The perspiration poured down the boy's face, and he often stopped. When at last, he "saw" a place where the man had sat down under a big tree, he was exhausted and had to give up for the day. People were sent out to search, with the boy's sketch as their guide. The whole population of the district followed, and excitement was high as the crowd followed the course the man had taken, step by step, as indicated by the boy. Night came on before they reached the tree, and the search was adjourned till next day, when the boy himself led the party. He took them to the tree, and there sound the lost man's handkerchief. From the tree the boy went straight to a river, but again he became so exhausted that he had to give up. However, as soon as he came home he said he could plainly "see" where the man was. Early next morning the search curry, with the boy, took a boat, which was steered according to the boy's directions. After a while he suddenly rose and said, "Here he lies." A search was made and the body was found at the bottom of the river on the very spot the boy had pointed out. The boy only three months ago discovered that he possessed this extraordinary sense of clairvoyance. During this time he has given many proofs of his strange power. A man went to him and told him that he had not a gold ring in a field last autumn as he was loading hay on a cart, and the boy soon told the man that the ring could be found among the hay on his farm, pointing out the very place, where the ring was immediately found. The boy has achieved other boots equally remarkable. Monkey. Monkey was the name of a diminutive slave who was the pet of Andrew Jackson. Monkey was a jockey and a judge of horse flesh, and if Old Hickory had any weakness at all it was for horse flesh. Because of him many victories on the turf, Monkey was permitted many privileges, one of which was to indulge his firm condition that the two greatest men on earth in the order of their greatness were Andrew Jackson and Monkey. A man named Brown who was opposed to the Jackson wing of the party in Tennessee had the temerity to offer himself for governor. He received only a handful of votes. A few days after the contest was settled Mr. Brown was in the market at Nashville. Monkey was also there, with a big basket on his arm. Monkey carried the basket as to push Mr. Brown off the sidewalk. The irate politician raised his cane and shouted: "Don't you know who I am? Show dare you push me?" The little grey looked up innocently and cried: "Well, if it ain't dat Mars" Brown what dun made a little 'speriment for guvor, jesis a little 'speriment." Old Turkish Joke. Among the many anecdotes related of the old Turkish joker, Nasir-Eddin Khodja, is the following: Khodja went one evening to the well to draw water, and looking down to the bottom he saw the moon. Quickly he can into the house and got a rope with a hook attached to the end of it. This he lowered into the well. The hook caught fast on a stone. Khodja pulled desperately, the hook gave way and there was the joker flat on his back staring up into the sky. "Upon my soul," he exclaimed, perceiving the moon, "I have had a bad hall, but I have put the moon back in its place." Royalty's Cats. Cats hold as high a place as dogs in the hearts of our society animal lovers. Queen Alexandra owns several fine chinchillas and Persian cats. Princess Alexander of Teck and Prince Maurice of Battenberg also possess valuable specimens, but the real cat fancier among the royal family is Princess Victoria of Schleswig, Holstein, and the only royal cattery is the one now established at Cumberland lodge. This has been arranged on the most up-to-date principles, and has curtained windows and a front door with a knocker and letter box. The portals are surmounted by a crown and the initials "V. H."

AID EOR COLORED A proposal to appropriate the unpaid deposits for the defunct Freedmen Savings and Trust Company for the benefit of Colored industrial schools throughout the country, was recommended to the president yesterday by Rev. James L. White. This fund, it is said, amounts to about $1,200,000 and many of the claimants have long since died. In 1886 President Clevlan urged upon Congress that all claimants should be paid the losses sustained by them, and be called particular attention to the fact that thousands of ignorant Colored people had been induced to deposit their savings in the institution in the belief that it was a government concern. Congress never took any action in the matter, and at his interview with the president yesterday, Mr. White urged that in his annual message he recommended that the money be applied for the purpose indicated. Oklahoma lines, transfer Jim Crow Cars from Texas. The Santa Fe, Rock Island, Friarce, and M K T which enter Oklahoma city, will borrow cars from their lines in Texas for use when the Jim Crow law become effective on Feb. 4, 1908. These roads are now arranging for the cars, and they will be put into service when the time comes. Separate accommodations are now being provided at the depot, bringing the two rates are not compelled to separate. The accommodation are being arranged and may be taken advantage of if desired. In depots where there is ship one writing room partition are being built. The ship will be used for the ship cars to be read for the accommodation is more Bena has put its foot on the lead stairs. Ladies are required to wear them while taking stairs or attending the presiding judge. The arrest points put the officer creating dust to dry where there so many invades. There are no comfort for the small woman or at the end of the police line, the shape of her order that men shall smoke during the hure when the valids are taking their walks. The town council is deliberating goes further than that. But the law runs: "The dragging of small dresses is forbidden on pain of five of 20 crowns." A similar amendment has recently come into force. Nordhausen. A fine of two dollars is the penalty for the first shot of $2.50 for the second, and a fine of prisonment for the third. Germany, take it all around, in the full of reflections and tireless rains and regulations, then any other country on earth. Paragraph 63 of the municipal regulations governing burials at Gleeson, in Hesse, was as follows: "Interments are only permitted after death has taken place. In all other cases a certificate signed by the mayor is required." Morrel: Don't incur the enmity of the mayor of Gleeson or you may find yourself underground before you are ready. Seriously speaking, there is one thing which the visitor to Germany should be most careful about; not to insult any government official. "The German idea of insult is different from ours. A tourist who, after long delay at a Carlsruhe telephone, cries: "Are you asleep, miss?" was arrested and fined five dollars for "an unjustifiable insult." In Hamburg the street car regulations ars no dead letter. When the car is foul a sign "Besetat" is hung out, meaning "occupied." Supposing a lady, then, gets in and a man gets up and offers her his seat, he, unfortunate fellow, is promptly elected by the conductor. In Russia kisses given in public, whether in the street or a restaurant, or even at the open window of a private house, are actionless. A kiss in the open streets costs the offender three dollars. It is a sober fact that in Russia a man may not kiss his wife if public. France has a number of laws which strikes the stranger as odd it is, for instance, illegal to take water from the sea. You see, you might be going to make salt, which is a government monopoly. Another enactment, not a bad one in its way, but which would be very likely to be infringed by American families, traveling with children, is to the effect that no solid food may be given to babies under one year old. Also nurses may not use for their charges any sort of feeding bottle with a rubber tube. The idea is that rubber tubes harbor poisonous impurities. Nothing is more apt to raise the suspicion of the foreign official than the ordinary camera. In many places, such as Mets and Stresburg, it is as much as your liberty is worth to be seen snapshothooting, at least anywhere near the fortifications. In Pompeii you must pay for each photo you take; in Monaco the camera is a supply of danger to its owner, and at Constantinople it is forbidden to carry any photographic apparatus anywhere near the sultan's palace.—Baltimore News. The cattle industry of the state of Tamilnadu is coming to the front. One stockman and commission man alone, Bartolo Rodríguez, shipped 48,000 head last year to Cuba and Yemen, which amounted to $1,500,000. He has a fine reach near the City of Tampico called Monta Alta, with $200 head of cows and bulls, sorting about $500 a head, imported from the United States and Switzerland. Careful estimate made by the shippers to the north of. Tampico places the total number of cattle and horses in that area at 2,000,000—Mexican Herdle. Not an Ad. Earlio Tosell, the Italian pianist who was married in London to Countess Montagno, the divorced wife of the crown prince of Saxony, new King Frederick Augustus of Saxony, has released an offer made him by a Hamburg impressario to give Evelyn endorses for $2,400, asking he had not married his wife to use her as an advertisement.
