The pa.hos of it all was not lost, even
when anxiety for gift gave way 10 the
JOY of possession, and these many hundred
little ones trudged home, clasping closely
that which they most desired. With every
gift had come q rare smile of gratitude,
sigh Of thanks, and, had the many generous
donors to this most successful fund seen for
themselves what vas to b. seen there, or
could they hear the many childish prayers
OF Thanksgiving that ascerded at many
little bedside, they would have felt truly
that those who give and give freely are
doubly blessed.
Necessities TO Be Distributed Tomorrow.
While toys, candles, dolls and many
articles Of clothing were disburstd freely to
each and all, By the advice of the teachers
present it was deemed best to keep the
actual necessities, such as the heavier cloth
inc, fur caps, shoes and warm wraps until
Monday, when the most needy can be
singled out from the hundreds of applicants
and not one article but will go where 1t will
the distribution will continue Monday at
$50 Sixth avenue, corner of Mcclure ave-
nue., Homestead, when parochial and other
school teachers will assist. All the dolls
and toys and candies have been distributed,
and between the hours of 9 A. NJ. and P.
NJ. several hundred dollars worth of cloth
ing and warm shoss will be given to the
most deserving.
In summing up this most successful fund
and its excellent distribution, one more
word of thanks Is due the generous givers
who have made it success, and lightened
the premature burden of ere thrust upon
the deserving recipients of a most success
ful and most appropriate Christmas fund.

thin, pale little fellow, whose first wish
should have been for q square meal.
81 wants q sled an a gun, an bank an
bell an elefunt," was the amazing re-
sponse, delivered with the rapidity of light

conned over and over again what was most
dear to his troubled heart He was paeifed
with what he could carry, and trotted off,
promising to be back for the balance
She Wanted a Baby Doll.
Another little applicant came up and in
answer to a question said some hing that
sounded for all the world like the Arabian
alphabet backwards.
''Say that again and saw it Slow" said
Mr. Kendall, who was professor in II Ian
guages-one at time-but not all COM
bined.
The infant repeated her request slowly
and distinctly, and this time it sounded the
same, only worse.
making guess at it gave the child bundle
of clothing, package of candy and beau
tiful picture book. Still she stood there
stolidly, her pale gray eyes filling with
tears as she once more propounded her
conundrum, this time in voice broken
with sobs
"What is the matter dear?" asked one of
the pleasant voiced lady teachers hurrying
over to the scene.
Again was the plaintive Incompetent
sible request made, and a woman's heart
interpreted what all the learning in the
building could not fathom. There was a
dash made for some mysterious packages,
and the lady returned, handing an elongated
object with fluffy hair to the child. A broad
smile of delight crossed her tear-stained
face, and the unintelligible little foreigner
hurried out of the hall clasping close the
coveted doll.
The Crush Became Greater.
Toward the last the crush became so great
il was found necessary to drag many of the
little ones up on the stage, where their
yells we're soon calmed by iudlcious ap-
plication of candies 1t was found that the
boys ambitions lay in the line of sleds, air
guns, and tool chests, while the girls
wanted dolls, candies, books, nice little
things to wear, and pictures, but first and
last they wanted dolls, dolls. dolls. With
all this excitement aud fun, there was q
pathetic side that did not fail to touch the
hearts of the givers.
Where but !, 500 children had been ex-
pected, where it was claimed that no more
than that number would positively be there,
whv was it that the hall had filled with
2, 400 long before the distribution began?
One glance over the hall answered the
question-necessity. The happiness of
childhood had no lodging there. 1t is pitt
tul to see want in any form, but it is do ublv
sad to see gaunt care hollow the rounded
cheeks of a child; to see little ones sunken

them to enter the great hall Then they
began coming from all directions Lots
came tumbIing over the hills from Num-
hall, from the Hollow, from the outer and
inner circles of the town, from across tn e
river, the railroads, the streets and COM
mons, until it seemed the hall would never
hold the hurrying, anxious hundreds of
children, eager to get from Santa Claus
what they had asked for in letters or per-
baps prayers.
At 3 o'clock the opposing forces were
drawn up In line. On the one side, behind
perfect battlement of books, sleds, dolls,
candy, sh. es, clothing, tool chests, pictures,
child's dishes, airguns, fancy goods, goods
Ofnecessity, and goods of choice, goods to
eat, drink aud wear, goods for the babe, for
the child, and perhaps q neat warm scarf or
bonnet for mamma. behind all these stood the
distributors awaiting the attack from over
5000 children. Those having the distribu-
tion in hand were Prof Kendall, of the
Homestead schools, assisted by his warm
hearted teachers, Miss Izenour, the Misses
Bailey, Miss Critchlow. Miss Irwin and
Miss Atkinson, who in turn were assisted

Animated by the Christmas Tree.
A row of policemen stood between the
two forces, and what scene was presented
by the children who we're held back by
theml There was little noise at first, but
the Christmas tree was too much for the
children in front, and the rush line gradu-
ally edged nearer and nearer the coveted
tree, and beautiful and useful presents soon
to be theirs In that vast crowd of
children, with all their excitement and
pushing, not one was hurt during the entire
distribution. There were mere babies there
that mad only learned to toddle since ''papa
QUIT work, yet they held bravelv to their
place, braced by an elder sister or brother,
until they were given what they most
desired.
Shortly after the hour announced for dis
tribution, q shrill boyish cheer arose from
the doorway, and John F. Cox, dressed to
perfection and making a roguish and jolly
looking Santa Claus pushed through the
crowd to the Christmas tree.
Then the fun and the trouble commenced.
1t was at first intended to give away the
most valuable presents by name, and the
several hundred pairs of shoes, and the best
clothing we're marked with the names of the
children for whom they were intended
The crowd was 60 vast, however. that sys-
TEN was impossible. All those behind

Just where the generous donors most de-
sired. That this was done is shown by the
results Fully 24OO children were present
At ;he grand jubilee, and each went home
hugging closely some long-wished-for
article of amusement, of instruction, or of
use.
Probably no such remarkable gathering
was ever known, at least in this district.
and the success of the affair was due just as
much to the well-behaved little ones as it
was to the several kind-heartsd lady school
teachers and gentlemen present
Bound TO Be There on Time.
The hour for distribution had been ad-
vertised as o'clock, but fully an hour be-
fore that the doors Of Eintracht Hall were
besieged by scores of little ones who were
chattering excitedly with anticipation, and
probably cold, until their blue noses ap-
pealed to the doorkeepers, who allowed

forgotten. As the ladies present knew most
Of the children, and iwere acquainted with
the most needy and deserving, almost the
entire work devolved upon them, and they
nobly stood their ground to the last
Misses pleathe gimme DOLL" said a

became so great that the entire Disturbing
