WAS THtS NI6HT BEFORE GHKISTIIAS.
(Clement Clarite Moore.) 'x, ::
'Twas the night before Christmas, when all
through the house - -Not
a creature-was stirring,vnot even a mouse:
The stockings were hung by the chimney with
In hopetthat St. Nicholas soon would-be there;
The children were nestled all snug in their beds
While visions of sugar plums danced through
their heads.
And mamma in her kerchief and I in my cap
Had just settled our brains for a long winter's
When outon the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from my bed to see what was the
matter. a .
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.
The moon, on the breast of the new-fallen snow,
Gave a luster of midday to objects below ;
When what to my wondering eyes should appear
But a miniature sleigh and eight ny reindeer,
With a little old driver, so lively and quick
I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled and shouted and called them
. by name:
"Now, Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer!
now, Vixen !
On, Comet! on, Cupid! on, Dunder and
BHtzen!
To the top of the porch, to the top of the wall !
Now dash away, dash away, dash away all!"
As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the
sky,
So up to the housetop the coursers they flew,
With the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too.
And then in a twinkling I heard on the roof
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.
As I drew in my head and was turning around
Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a
bound.
He was dressed all in fur from his head to his
foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes
and soot ;
A bundle of toys he had flung on his back,
And he looked like a peddler just opening his
pack.
His eyes how they twinkled! his dimples how
merry!
His cheeks are like roses, his nose like a cherry ;
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
And the beard on his chin was as white as the
snow.
The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
And the smoke, it encircled his head like a
wreath.
He had a broad face, and a little round bellv
That shook, when he laughed, like a bowlful of
jelly.
He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old
en,
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of my
self. A wink of his eye and a twist of his head
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread.
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his
work,
And filled all the stockings ; then turned with a
jerk,
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose.
He sprang in his sleigh, to his team gave a
whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of
sight,
"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a eood
night!" s
EPIDEMIC OP TIPHUS V
RAGING UT D

The epidemic of typnus f eTer which
2 'claimed thousands of yktims In
thVcity.of Mexico threatens to spread,
throughout the republip. In a public
statement Unpeople are warned hy
the -Carranra goTernment that "the
ectual'epidemic : of --typhus : which
reigms in Mexico City and neighbor
ing towns has reached such an' alarm
ing and grave p'roportlon as to threat
en to propagate itself throughout the
country and for this reason requires
energetic measures to combat ' and
dominate it.'! .
Accurate statistics on the number
of cases are not obtainable. The
minimum as reported is 20.000,
while other estimates place the num
ber of cases as high as 60,000. "The
truth is that the deaths are so fre
quent as to daily necessitate long
trains of funeral' cars, and there is
hardly a home or an office which has
not had its victim. General Gonzales
'has detailed 500 soldiers to disinfect
'and clean barracks apd public offices.
In all the latter are to be seen print
ed notices, reading: "For hygienic
reasons department heads and em
ployes must refuse to shake hands
with visitors."
El Pueblo, an officiol Carranza or
gan, prints a plan which has been
adopted in an endeavor to check the
ravages of the disease. The- efTort
includes establishment of a special
sanitary police corps. Not only will
public and private structures be
cleaned, but passengers attempting
to enter tram cars, public coaches or
taxi cabs will be inspected with a view
of detaining any whose' appearance
might lead inspectors to suspect them
of liability of transferring the dis
ease. The sale of alcoholic bever
ages in restaurants and saloons is to
be prohibited and all theaters and
other places of amusement are com
manded to close at 11 o'clock each
night.
As it is now generally admitted
that the only propagating agents of
the disease are body lice, government
officials will make a house-to-house
canvas to stamp but vermin. Public
bathing establishments and barber
shops will be opened, and all those of
an unclean appearance will be forced
to bathe and r eel o the themselves.
This service will be free.
So far the foreign colonies have es
caped serious loss, although 13 cases
j have been registered up to date in the
American and English colonies.

doubt the success of plans for a peace
congress of neutrals.
The expedition has reached its
first neutral country and the recep
tion has lacked warmth, if it has not
been hostile. The unfrienly attitude
of the Norweigan press has convinced
the peace chief that their plans to
bring the boys out of the trenches
will encounter rough sledding among
European neutrals. Judge Ben Lind
sey, of Denver, one of the most prom
inent figures on the ship, today ad
vised Ford to abandon the peace mis
sion altogether. Lindsey is convinc
ed that peace efforts will be hopeless
and begged Ford to change his plan3
and turn the enterprise into one for
finding homes for war orphans.
Ford refused to consider the sug
gestion. He is not at all downcast by
the reception the peace 'argosy .re
ceived upon its.arrival here or by the
row that broke out in mTd-Atlantic1.'
