It looks fine to see the stores all 1
dressed up in holly and Christmas
decorations waiting for a visit from
Santa Claus. The Old Man will be s
in this year as usual, and although t
he may not shop as lavishly as in 1
better days, he will do his best to
avoid disappointing his devotees. *
Luck to him. J

The news that Bill Palmer, an 5
employee of The New York Times, j
is coming down for two weeks
Christmas was well received by his J
friends here. His wit and good na- '
tureness always adds to a gather- ?
ing. Several months ago when I c
went to Philadelphia to have my
eyes treated I continued to New (
York after the examination was '
completed. Although my entree was
unannounced, Bill rallied to the oc- *
casion and proved himself a superb 1
host. He was at that time living ]
down in The Village, a playground
known to the naughty for its Bohe- 1
?-'? ? oirv,r,e?v,orfi Wrvwever. best to
uiiaii .?,
my knowledge, Bill was there to i
learn the City rather than to in- i
dulge in reckless living. The way
most of the boys ever learn New <
York is by moving from one part ]
of the town to another. From what j
I was told, they move about every (
month, and I was assured that the t
matter of rent was net the cause. \
(
Sitting here at the type-writer and J
seeing John H. Fleming pass re- t
minds me of a statement he made
following his return from Asheville 1
some time back with other mem- i
bers of the board of county commissioners:
"Yes, sir, the mountains j
are pretty and the scenery is fine, |
but I like the views better at the (
seashore." From the smile that accompanied
the statement, his view
point of beauty was clear.
(
For two reasons I was happy to
receive a letter from Anna Cohoon (
several days ago with a check for (
the renewal of her paper. The other ?
reason is that I always did have the x
highest regards for Anna. She asked
to be remembered to her friends
at Warrenton. '
One of the most let-down feelings
that I can think of at this time
comes when one of your friends calls i
ycu aside in all seriousness, leads \
you to believe that he is going to j
confide in you, and then comes out|
with the declaration that Kriss
Kringle is a farce.

SPARKS, Ga., Dec. 14.?If the
cows of Sparks want to roam the
town's streets, it's their own affair.
The voters said so yesterday in a

matter. That verdict reversed a pre_

Thought He Could 1
Put Tune In Piano;
Lands In Court
NEW YORK, Dec. 15.?Getting a
;une out of a piano is one thing.
Putting it back is another.
Abram Hill wandered into Sam
Tucker's barber shop at 273 W. 127th
5t. yesterday to borrow a nickel, cn
iccount of he wanted to go down;own
to get him a job chauffeuring.
Sam gave him the nickel, but instead
of hitting for the elevated,
kbram saw a piano in the rear of
;he shop, and decided he would
strike a few barber shcp chords. He
started to mess around with those
ceys and how he did play that old
jiano! Witnesses in Magistrate
Dverton Harris court, uus mumuig
ill agreed that Abram sure could
Iraw out those old "St. Louis Blues."
Patrons rose from the barber
:hairs ignoring the risk of cut
ihroats and threw him quarters.
Then Abram got swole up, according
;o Mr. Tucker. He said that as good
is he could take tunes out of that
piano he could put a better one in.
He took out his chauffeur's toe Is
ind took the piano apart to tune it.
But when he put it together again
It had no tone at all?no more than
a fish with a sore threat.
Ab:am banged the keys, but 110
sound issued forth. Thereupon Mrs.
Priscilla Tucker, owner of the piano,
grabbed onto Abram's tools as par;ial
reparation, and Mr. Tucker
;hrust him forth into the street,
vith his nickel but without the tools
;o work with even did he get a
|cb. Abram complained to Magis;rate
Harris today.
It was in order to recover the
;ools that he haled the Tuckers before
the Harlem cadi.
"" "* ~ o ilicf".
?SUU iviagisiiituc liamo, f*
iudge, told Abram to replace the
;une in that piano before he claim;d
his tools.
"Are you a piano tuner?" he ask;d.
"No sir, I'm a chauffeur," Abram
admitted.
"Well, then, just tune engines,"
jrdered the Magistrate. "And if you
lon't have that piano tuned by
iomebody today I'll have you locked
lp yourself."
Jumps From Window
While In Plaster Cast
PEORIA, 111., Dec. 14.?Rex Colier,
25, was cured today of turning
landsprings and jumping out of
lospital windows.
When he turned-the handsprings
n the county jail, where he was
awaiting trial, he told a guard he
thought he had dislocated a verteara.
He was sent to the hospital and
put in a fifty-pound plaster cast
from neck to hips. That night he
Iropped, oast and all, from a second
floor window and escaped.
In the morning he was back,
teeth chattering with the cold.
"That cast was heavy," he said
as he walked in voluntarily, "but
it wiasn't warm at all."

Christmas In

"Come little children already

and Santa Claus. My! how Interesting
you are: but listen and
I will tell the story of two little
girls who did not have a Santa as
you have.
Long, long ago on the mountain

the age of you children, and every
day was the same to them. The
mother and father being poor never
told them of Santa, or why the
people in the valley celebrated
Christmas.
Listen quietly, and maybe you
will hear the names of the girls
we are talking of , Mary Lou and
Christine Allen.
They never walked into a room
bright with candle light and saw a
beautiful tree loaded with dolls,
toys and everything nice, as you
soon will.
Now as the northwind and snow
sweeps down the mountain, it Is
bringing happiness to Mary Lou
and Christine. A new family of people
are moving to the valley below.
You may know just how anxious
these new comers were to climb to
the mountain top, and see the
scenery, and the people who lived
above them. So a few days before
Christmas the three girls started
the climb to the top, it wasn't a

Ihen the third spoke, "I wish th
we had moved here, because he
visits the mountain children first." gl
Don't you know they were sur- ol
prised when they met Mary Lou B
and Christine, playing togetner, bi
never talking of Santa, or where
the Christmas holidays would be ea
spent? ir
They stopped and talked tugetber fc
a few minutes and before leaving
the oldest girl asked, 'Will your w
purents let you come and spend h
Christmas with us?" y<
"W? will go to their home and H
see," the second spoke.
So the five children ran as fast le
rs they could to the little hut, as gi
ihe mother opened the door, the a<
three yelled, "Oh, Mis. Allen, lit h
ycuT children come spend Christinas
with us?" f;
My, but Mary Lou and Christine n
must have been a bit happy, and Iv
surprised when she agreed they k
might go down in the valley with
these good girls. n
Christmas Eve Day came> now ii
listen children, again, we see the
three girls climbing the mountain
early. They were much happier
than before, because there would v
be five coming back to the valley, h
When they reached the top and ran r
to the hut, Mary Lou and Christine P
were ready for the journey. All the a
way down to the valley the girls 1;
talked of Santa, and what they v
wanted him to bring them. o
