was in difficulties. The children and
the older visitors sat staring at the legs
for q few minutes, and then Mr.. Moon,
who was man for an emergency, gall

Santa s ankles and pulled with all the
force of pair of gymnasium-educated
arms, but he didn't seem to make any
Roadway, for Santa yelled in a voice
that sounded like q doleful cry from the
tomb that he was being wedged in
tighter than ever, and he implored the
company to do something for his relief.
The elders held a council of war. Mr..
Brewster mildly suggested that it
would be a good plan to send in a fire

look, and said that the only way she
saw was to take the bricks out of the

concealed the mysterious bundle in u

Mrs. Bell at once demanded an ex

thereupon MIR. Bell struck the attitude
popular with candidates when they say

the statement may seem; but I am

"Rose," continued MIR. Bell, serenely,
turning to the younger lady, las a

Juvenile human nature, and you must
have been shocked by the fact that
children cease to believe in the good
old stories of Santa Claus and his rein

ment upon this sad truth. What is
Christmas to a child, if the child doesn't
believe in. Santa Claus? Where are all
the romance and poetry of the &C.
sion? My own children are skeptical
when I tell them the charming legend
of Kris Kringle; have undertaken to
convince them that there is Santa
Claus; have decided to let them see
Santa Claus in person"
This announcements naturally pleased
the ladies'; and their excitement was
quite intense when Mr.. Bell produced
a bundle from the closet and opened
it, producing lot of ancient furs and a
bearskin hat that had probably been
used BY a drum major Of the town
band; to please the ladies he donned
his costume at once, and they voted
him a perfect Santa Claus, as he GER
tain1y was. - 81

The young lady leveled a glance Of

There was a stern, cold silence for q

betokened extreme exhaustion.

last, "rescue my uncle! You shall have

ground and into the house, where the
children and the other guests crowded
about him and laughed; for childrena al

By careful nursing Mr.. Bell was re-
stored to his normal health in a few
days, and his first act was to have the
old chimney taken down.
One day in March Mr.. Moon led his
bride to the altar; he held his head high
and his eye sparkled. After the cere-
mony there was dinner at Mr.. Bells
residence, and Mr.. Bell himself was ra-
diant with good humor and hospitality.
He called the young couple aside, and

During the balance of the evening,
until nine o'clock, there was a great
deal Of active preparation in progress in
the Bell mansion; the north room was
tidied, and a semi-circle of chairs
placed for the expected guests, who be-
gan to arrive at the stipulated time.
Mr.. Bell was in fine frenzy of excite
ment; he declared to his wife, in
whisper, that he felt like a boy again,
and she replied that she was ten years
younger than she. was before he un-
folded his delicious scheme. by half

into another attitude, and said: e.. :

Playing the Fri King.

Anything more weird and terrible than
Rubinstein's playing l never heard; the
despairing cry of the child as the fearful
Erl King rode with it through the forest,
the crashing pace, the awful calm of death
as the whirlwind of struggle dies away,
and all this coming out OF the darkness and
filling the room with thunder of melody,
concord and discord, and the ceaseless gal
Looping of the death steed through the for
est. 1t was an experience never to be for
gotten. In the silence that followed the
summer moonlight seemed to fall more
softly; not one of US spoke-a little night
wind whispered in the trees.
l believe the next day it was found that
a couple of hammers had succumbed.
People used to say that Rubinstein broke
strings-others said his touch was so fine
and elastic that, even when strongest, he
never broke anything. Neither statement
is correct; what he broke was no strings,
but hammers. There were always two
grand pianos on the platform whenever he
played, and there was usually some dam
age found after a recital; but playing as
he did, condensing the whirlwind and i'm
prisoning the thunder, the wonder is not
that he broke hammers, but that he did
not break all the hammers-when, for in
stance, he played Chopin polonQise or

A RARE OPPORTUNITY.
INCALCULABLE BENEFIT CONNER
CIALLY AND POLITICALLY.

J. Richard Freud, Market-street bust
ness man, said:
'The laudable efforts to secure for San
Francisco the next Republican National
Convention ought to awaken the heartiest
cooperation of every citizen on the Pacific
Coast irrespective of political affiliation.
The vast interests of this coast have long
been disregarded by the Eastern States,
and our political Importance overlooked,
because we were not recognized as a po-
litical factor in national affairs. A great
national convention held in this city will
concentrate the attention of the whole
country upon this coast, and put the Pa
cific States in line for political prestige and
preferment. Not only will it prove of in
calculable benefit politically, but it will
also prove of lasting commercial value.
Once let the Pacific Coast be recognized as
a political factor in national councils, and
| momentous questions of especial concern
to this coast will no longer be neglected or
rejected

upon its rights ever receives proper share

annexation, the Pacific railroad question,

ARCTIC IVORY.
Bones of Elephants and Rhinoceroses
Found Frozen Islands.


In 1909 Count Romanzoff sent NJ Heden-
strom to explore the New Siberian Islands,
fitting him out at his own expense He'd
enstrom reached Laikoff's first island and
was amazed at the prodigious stores of
fossil ivory it contained; for, although the
ivory-hunters had for forty years regularly
carried away each year large quantities
of ivory from the island, the supply of
ivory in it appeared to be not in the least
diminished.
In about half a mile Hedenstrom saw
ten tusks of elephants sticking up in the
sand and gravel, and large sandbank on
the west coast of the island was always
covered with elephants tusks after gale,
leading him to hope that there was an end
less amount of ivory under the sea. He'd
enstrom and Sannikoff went on to Kotel-
moi and New Siberia, and they found the
hills in the former island absolutely
covered with the bones, tusks and teeth of
elephants, rhinoceroses and buffaloes,
which must have lived there in countless
numbers, although there Is now an icy
wilderness, without the slightest vegeta-
ton.
They also found that in New Siberia
the most eastern of the isla nds-the guam
t1ty of mammoth ivory was still more
abundant, and in 1909 Sannikoff brought
away 10000 pounds of fossil ivory from
New Siberia alone.-Chambers' Journal.

LITTLE DOUBT OF SUCCESS.
IT WILL BE SECURED IF PROPER
STEPS BE TAKEN.

John G. Quinn, formerly Collector of
Internal Revenue, said:
"If good strong committee is sent from
California to lay our claims before the Re-
publican National Committee there can be
but little doubt about securing the next
convention for San Francisco. California
came within three votes of winning the
prize four years ago on close canvass of
the committee, that is to say counting the
promises of support to be expected on
the third ballot, after certain obligations
were fulfilled. 1t was a combination
with the committeeman from the North
west and the Pacific Coast that settled
upon Minneapolis for the place of meet
ing, and the whole Northwest is thereby
pledged to California this year by virtue
OF that combination. Mr.. Manley and
General Clarkson have already spoken. and
to those who have attended the meeting
of the Republican National Committee in
the past this is very significant, as these
gentlemen WELD tremendous power
there.
-Four years ago the citizens of San
Francisco subscribed to guarantee fund
of $4,000 to defray the expenses of the
convention, and this fund was secured in
ten days canvassing. At that time it was
proposed to erect a building for the pur-
pose, and we offered to pay all expenses of
delegates and attaches to and from the
convention, including railroad fares, hotel
bills, etc. do not think this will be re-
quired of us this year, certainly no more
than railroad fares from some central point
such as Chicago, which, if the railroad Off
cials come to the front as they did before
by making half-fare rates, will not amount
to more than $25, 900. A live committee, a
determined effort on the part of our citi-
zens will give US both the Republican and
Democratic conventions, as one will follow
the other with the idea of at least neutral
1zing the effect of the preceding one. Each
convention will bring 100000 people to the

The movement to bring to San Francisco

than has been their wont in the past.
otis of inestimable value to any COM
munity," said H. ]. Whipple of the firm
of Murphy, Grant & Co. yesterday, ''to
secure visit to its borders OF any body OF
representative citizens. Particularly is this
the case with California on account of its
location far from the centers of govern
ment. The people of the East regard this
State much as they regard Alaska or the
Hawaiian Islands, as a place somewhere
''way off yonder.' Under the present con-
ditions it takes lot of hard talking and
strong argument to convince them thatthe
State really amounts to anything. A visit
OF such q representative body of men as
constitutes a national convention Will
change all this.
THE fact that the convention is held in
California viii attract the attention OF
Eastern people to the State, and the cor
rect ideas of the resources of the country
and its needs formed by the visitors Will
have great influence on national legisla-
ton, and particularly in the matter OF
appropriations.
An argument in favor of bringing the
convention to this coast which I have not
vet seen used is the fact that Californians
are such royal entertainers. If the con-
yention comes here the delegates will be
SO well treated that they will carry away
very pleasant recollections of our State.
