SENT LETTERS TO SANTA.
Baby Ruth Wotched the Missives Fly
 Up tho Smoking Chimney.

She has not lived long enough to have lost belief in the actual pilgrimage of Santa Claus from the far-away north. She fervently holds that he is and that all she has to do to get wishes Is to write to him. But she never trusts the postman with her queer scrawls; that would never do. She is busy little creature, Is Baby Ruth and has so many wishes that she has used up pad of paper for her father since the season began to get near enough to speak to.
 There is fireplace in the family loung- ing-room. where Ruth has lived her three or four years. The open grate sends out

 His Youthful Heart.

What shall be said of that blundering kindness of home folks that considers giv- ing the boy only presents of such things as he actually needs? It is an outrage upon the spirit of Christmas to present him with new shoes, ties, handkerchiefs- something that he knows he will get any way-when his sleeping and waking dreams for weeks before have been filled with visions of tops, balls, guns and magic lan- terms. The most beautiful knitted muff1er woman's fingers ever constructed cannot compare with a jack-knife with four blades and cork-screw attachment, when exhib- ited over the back fence to a neighbor boy on Christmas morning.

are some facts which speak
for themselves. Some time
ago it was announced in Il
semi-Officiai manner that the
report of the Canal Commis

now it is allowed to be-

the cost Of the Canal by the
Nicaragua route, and the
cost of the completion of the
Pana ma Canal, together with
the terms upon which this
government can secure con-
troll of the latter, and leave
Congress to decide for itself.
What brought about this
change? That is the ques
ton that the rumors deal
with. The President of the
Panama Canal Company had
a long conference with the
Secretary OF State, and, OF
course, everybody knows
what the oentlpmnn is in

Representative Shaffroth,
Of Colo, said of the contest
for the seat which will be va.
Gated March 4th, by Senator
Wolcott: "It promises to be
the most interesting, and the
closest call ever known in
that section. Three OF the
strongest men in the state
are candidatps-Governor|
Thomas, foriperGov. Adams,
and Thomas F. Patterson.
and it is just possible that
Mr.. Charles J. Hughes, a
prominent mining lawyer,
may enter the field as the
fourth"
Although all knowledge on
the subject is denied at the
Var Department, many per-
sons in Washington, believe
the correctness OF the story
that embalmed beef Eagan
will shortly be restored to
duty as Conmissary General
OF the army, by Mr.. MrKiu-
lery.
Representative Neville, of
Neb., who Was reelected says
he thinks Editor Rosewater
has too many republican
enemies to succeed in getting
elected to the Senate.
Notwithstanding his pre-.
vious humiliating experience
es in tina t line, Secretary Root
has again snothered an i'm
portant public document on
the ridiculous ground that It
is a confidential matter not
intended to be made public.
The document in question is
the report made by an ex-
pert accountant from the
Treasury Department, who
was sent to Cuba at Secre-
tary Roots request to go
thoroughly over the accounts
Of Rathbone and Neeley. The
real reason for not making
it public is that 1t shows the
stealing in Cuba to have been
greater and more systematic
than anybody had supposed
A similar report was nade
by the accountant to the
Senate Committee on Rela'
tions with Cuba, which has
been trying so hard to com
ply with the Senate resOlu'
ton directing 1t to iDvesti
gate Cuban finances. If these
reports are not made public,
there is likely to be some
plain talk in Congress on the
right of an official to sup

nor official under orders and
under. public pay. II such re.
ports are not public docu.

THE WALDORF KITCHEN.

New York World.
In the greatest kitchen on
earth the finest dinners are
cooked. OF course that's the
Waldorf f-Astoria's great
kitchen, deep down in the Gel
lar.
1t occupies more space, has
more modern appliances, EN-.
ploys more chefs and helpers
and turns out more cooked
things a day than any other
kitchen on the face of the
globe. Really, it is more like
Il factory than a kitchen.
In the first place, there are
IA cheis-not mere scullions,
but graduated chefs-"di-
plome," as the French say.
There are IL more just to
make sauces and 10 to do
nothing but fry things. 1t
takes 20 men to make the
soups and cook the vegeta-
bles and 20 more for ice
cream and pastry. All told
there are 1S1 men down in
that big kitchen, of whom z
do nothing but cook meals
for the other lat.
This big kitchen where they
work covers 10000 square
teet OF space. In it are two
immense ranges, each con-
tanning 1S seperate fires.
Five men constantly tend
them, doing nothing else.
These ranges take up 1900
square feat. Then there are
= big game boilers, a bip
steel oven with 4 compart-
ments, 3 bake ovens and a
pastry oven, 6 giant copper
caldrons for the vegetables
6 steel broilers for mea rs, II
coffee urns and dozens of heat
ers and chopping blocks.
Each department IS seper
ate in this big kitchen. Ont
GORDON bleu chef wa tches ovel
all. Instead of standing neal
a red hot stove he sits at
desk and never goes near al
oven or a broiler. The roas
cooks never bother with pas
try; the ice cream men neve
look at a vegetable. Th'
soup men would turn up thei1
noses at a salid-mixer, anf
the saucemakers grow sterl
at the thought of opening
oysters.
This great kitchen ca
serve 3,700 persons for eacl
meal and never get fustered
This is the high water mark
Yet it could turn out mucl
more without getting upset
1t can cook soup for 5000
