him. He is ubiquitous. The marks
by which he may be distinguished are
as follows: He has a penchant for loung-
ing about the postoffice or store, gener-
ally having contract for holding down
boxes or barrels. He is always whiting
and making nothing. He would deem it
when the train arrives and departs. He
would feel that he had grievance against
the railroad
He can also be readily distinguished
by his frequent use of the word "can 1T"

his everlasting "You can't" Does a
hOmeseeker from another state ask, Can
you grow anything else than oranges :?
''Naw, you can't" says Sorehead The
poor devil has got so habiluated to that
word can't, that when Gabriel blows his

1t was in the year 1920 that the Purl-
tans passed their first Christmas in
America. By referring to copy of the
old Bradford manuscript it will be
found that the early settlers evil
IDENTIFY determined not to celebrate their
first Christmas in new land except by
hard work. William Bradford writes of
1t in this manner "Ye 16 day We winde

there is here, where Santa Claus is the
only one who ever tries it.
This beautiful palace, Respondent
wlca white and gold decorations, was
brilliantly illuminated every night, and
the rooms in which Natalie's family
lived were filled with bronzes, medal
lions and costly marbles. So Mademol-
selle Parishkin, the new French doll
was very fortunate to have found SO
grand residence. Indeed, she seemed
more at her ease there than some OF the
older dolls, who never got over their
awkward ways and appearance. Some
of them had been brought from Lap
land and the far-away provinces, and
no doubt 1t was the way they were
wrapped up from head to foot in fur
and heavy cloth that made them seem
so clumsy and unwieldy.
But Natalie loved them all as friends,
and often they were her only audience
as she repeated the fairy pantomimes
and plays she had seen performed at
the empress private theater in the
Hermitage. She made them all-large
and small dolls-aet in their turn, and
they did very we'll in pantomime. OF

were limitations of the grand displays
made at the winter palace when the en-
peror held his court there, and the an
niversary of every important event was
an excuse for a general illumination
of the palace. On this particular even
ing, Sache came racing down the long
gallery like the clustering north wind
blowing over the steppes, calling to
Natalie:
Come on I say let us illuminate the
gallery tonight"

Natalie sang this verse of the old
Christmas song over and over again,
as she sat one evening in the long gal
lery surrounded by her beloved dolls.
This gallery led to her fathers suite OF
rooms in the Hermitage, the additloh
the Empress Catherine had built to the
winter palace, and the reason that Ma
tales father lived SO near the palace'
under the same roof, indeed, was that
he was private secretary to the empress.
Natalie was little Russian girl, and
the verses she sang were for the benefit
of her last new doll, who had lately
come from Paris with great many
French airs and fashions. The dainty
creature seemed so different from the
other homely, clumsy dolls, that Natalie
felt she must be constantly explaining
or apologizing for something that might
not be Just what mademoiselle was ac-
customed to. In France, for instance,
perhaps they had never heard Of Ba-
bousheka, the old woman who persona
fies Santa Claus to Russian children.
She wanders eternally over the earth,
looking into every cradle, and is always
doomed to be disappointed because she
refused long ago to show the Magi the
way when they were journeying from
Persia to Bethlehem through Russia.
The song told also how Babousheka Is
dressed like an old, old woman, with
pack on her back full of gifts for
good boys and girls, and how she al
ways carries a broom, because she was
sweeping when the Wise Men knocked
at her door. Natalie became quite ex-
cited as she went on, for the Russian
girls and boys think almost as highly of
Babousheka as we do here of Santa
Claus. Perhaps. though. they stand a

SUNDAY SCHOOL ABOLISHED
REV. FATHER M'KEON'S NEW DE-
PARTURE At SACRED HEART.

The Sunday School of the Parish Closed
Yesterday-He Says the Children Can
Obtain Religious instruction at the
Parochial School-Sunday School Not
Needed.
The Rev. Michael McKeon, pastor Of
the Sacred Heart church, has, abolished
the Sunday school in that parish and
it is said that a protest may in con-
sequence be sent to the bishop of the
diocese. A short time ago Father Nc
Keon ANNOUNCED that there was no
need of the school since the parochial
school was opened, as in the new in
stitution religious instruction would be
given to all the pupils and that those
parishioners who send their children to
the public schools may give them the
religious instruction themselves.
So, true to his announcement, the
Sunday school of the Sacred Heart
church has ceased to exist. The
abolition went into effect yesterday,
much to the surprise and indignation
of some of the congregation, who hard

the declaration. This is the first Sun
day school, so it is said, to be abolished
in the diocese and it is believed that
an effort will be made to have it re-
opened.
The parochial school now has pupil
age of 750, and the abolition of the sun
day school was projected so as to in
crease the number, of pupils to the full
seating capacity of the commodious
schoolhouse. Some of the parishioners
however, protest that the move is un-
precedented in the history of the do
cese and that never before was there
Sunday school abolished in any
Catholic parish within the state
Whether the parishioners, whose chill
dren attend the public schools, will 'ap-
peal to Bishop Tierney or not remains
to be seen Some, however, it is said
declare that they will do this and dc
| it at once.
Next Sunday Rev. Father McKeor
will commemorate the sixth anniyer-
sary of his elevation to the pastorate Of
| the Sacred Heart parish. The program
| for that event will be made out this
| week The parochial institutions art
| in a prosperous condition and though
