CHRISTMAS EVE.
EUGENE FIELD.
Oh, hush thee, little Dear-my Soul.
The evening shades are falling"
| Hush-thee, my dear; dost thou not hear
The ~voice of the Master calling ?
a
Deep lies the snow upon the earth,
But all the sky-is ringing
With joyous song, and all night long
~The stars:shall dance with singing.
Oh, hush thee, little Dear-my Soul,
And close thine eyes in dreaming,
And angels fair shall lead thee where
The shining stars are beaming.
A shepherd calls his little lambs
And he longeth to caress them ;
He bids them rest upon his breast
That his tender love may bless them.
So, hush thee, little Dear-my Soul,
Whilst evening ~shades are falling,
And above the song of the Heavenly
throng
Thou shalt hear the Master calling. T

He bent her heart on winning,
His arm embraced her slender waist,
And the band played oLoveTs Begin-

Said he, oMy dear, Ttis thee I love,
My singing bird, my linnet.
And as he pressed her slender waist,
The band played oFairly In It.�
Above-the heavens were all aglow,
Bright stars the sky adorning,
He kissed her dlips"the band struck

oI WonTt Go~ Home Till Morning.�

' oIt has been proven that these men,
den D- Delamar were agents duing this | @
fraudulent, business; that Dr. T. B.
"| Delamar was their medical examiner;
at! that David Parker and William Fisher
were their henchmen and went out and
got the names of those people who
were in the last stages of nen, as
der, as one of the witness said, othey
might make a little quick money.�
oIn the case of C. R. Hassell, if the
evidence is to be believed he is the
arch eonspirator of the whole lot. He
seems tu have been engaged in this
business for years, and his success for

after pnrsuing it for a year he takes
the Delemars in with him. They are
all induced by the success with which
he has met to engage in this disreytt

oThen Bill Fisher comes in and
and others, and David Parker also ap-
pears as un agent and one of the con-
spirators. Their particular conspiracy
wus to defraud in probably 25. cases by
the use of the names of a large number
of people who were in the last stages
of disease, many of whom were pro-,

without going into the details I repeat
