Alice was a beautiful, motherless child, with blue eyes and golden hair, a true descendant of the Celtic Cymri, and her father fairly adored her. One day, it was in October, tho mail from England brought a num b er of colored prints to Craig-Devou, and amongst them a picture of Santa Claus at th by Kaulbach. “ I ’m ‘Oh papa?\ cried Alice, glad Chriemas is coming. OrauUpa told me I should see Santa Claus and hie reindeer when I was old enough not to be scared, and I'm old enough now. Ain’t I, papn?” Henceforth Alice talked of little bu- Chrietmas ami Santa Claus, not thinkt ing and not knowing that the heat of a Ballarat December 25 would melt the poor old sonl and his reindeer in to five grease spots in half a day. “ Where is the use in possessing V ON CHRISTMAS EVE No DOUBT T tS BEST AS SOON AS EVER YOU'RE UNDRESSED ' T« HANG YOUR STOCKING UP, AND THEN GO RIGHT TO BED AND SLEER FOR WHEN OLD SANTA COMES HE'LL DO THE REST., OF COURSE.

The hedges ea recently planted were white, trem endous canvas awnings covered the grounds immediately around the house, frozen rivulets were to be seen here and there, sparrows, chaffinches, linnets and robins flitted from bush to bush and from one clump of ever greens to another, and while Alice was admiring those eights, their re sults after breakfast, a coach rolled up little boys ami three little girls. The visitors assisted Alice in con structing her snow man, and though it was, to be sure, a little queer to be obliged to do it in a shed where a machine ground out coldness by the square yard, and where the sawdust was, somehow or other, mixed with the snow, still they got along famously, and at night* Ahce told her father with sparkling eyes that she had never spent a happier day. l a m a ftfmer t o u t e d n e a r S t o n y B r o o k , o n e o f t h e m o s t m a l a r i o u s d M k t s i n t h i s State, a n d w a s b o t h e r e d w i t h m a l a r i a f o r y e a r s ; a t t i m e s could dot work, and w a s a l w a y s v e r y c o n s t i p a t e d a s w e l l .

H e w as also easily dis tinguishable because of his commanding sniture. The sharpshooters directed several close sliots, which clipped the grass near. Hie staff officers called General Lawton's at tention to the danger he was In, but he only laughed, with his usual contempt for bullets. Suddenly he exclaimed, \I am shot,\ clenched Ills hands in a desperate effort to stand erect, and fell Into the arms of a staff officer. Orderlies rushed across the field for the surgeons, who dashed up Immediately, but their efforts were useless. The body was taken to a clump of bushes and laid upon a stretcher, the familiar white helmet covering the face of the dead General. After three hours’ shooting the Fillnlaos were dispersed Into the mountains. Colo nel Lockett took command when General Lawton fell. Mrs. Lawton and the children are living In a Government residence In Manila for merly occupied by a Spanish general. CONFIRMED IIY G E N E R A L O T I S .

Hitherto his luck In battle bad been marvelous. He had been in hundred skirmishes and midnight attacks. He regarded as a man of notion and of epl did courage. The Indians came to know him as the most active, vigilant, wary and determined of foes, and his pursuit and capture of Geronlmo. the famous Apache ebleftalo, had gone down In history as one of the most remarkable campaigns ever und- taken with the small force In hand. It was learned at the War Departme that Instructions had been received from Hie President to prepare General Lawton’s .•ornmission as a brigadier-general In the Regular Army to fill one of the existing vacancies, and the Adjutant General's :lerks were nt work on the commission when the Information of bis jdMtb was re ceived. ________ General Lawton's Career.
