The Reason Why.
BY MARJORIE MOORE.

81 heard a story lately, which | think
is very queer!'
And Roberts self was on my lap, his
lips were at my ear
ga dreadful, dreadful story" a sud-
den, awful pause
Somebody said the other day there
amt no Santa Claus.
"Would you believe it, auntie? They
said twas all trick
About the tiny reindeer and the visits
of Saint Nick,
That all the chimneys were too small,
the stoves were all too hot,
And lots of just such stuff as that,
cant remember what
"They said that years and years ago,
with fire-places wide,
And all the doors upon the latch in all
the countryside,
Both old and young for myths and
dreams had quite a pretty passion,
But now belief in Santa Claus hao all
gone out Of fashion.
"And when l cried that could prove
twas all a wicked lie,
They only shrugged their shoulders
and said I'd better try;
never will believe it, / know it can't
be true!
For if I've never seen him, say,
auntie, haven't you?"
All, yes, my little questioner, quite
often in my dreams,
Though when 1 wake / only see the
cold, white, still moonbeams;
Doing 1 often think l hear the sound
of horn and hoof,'
And waking find the elm-tree boughs
a tapping on the roof.
But / have other reasons than those
plain to eye and ear
For trusting in the story that we hold
so true and dear;
l never shall outgrow it, nor lose my
faith because
The world will never get beyond a
need of Santa Claus.

Never Got Cool.

Il think your announced in.
tention of marrying so soon
after your husbands death is
perfectly outrageous" said an
aggrieved friend to a young
widow whose husband had died
but a few months before from
excessive dissipation. You
might at least wait until he is
cold"
in that case 1 never would
get married." retaliated the
widow.

Japanese shipyards.

The determination of Japan to be-
come in every sense modern nation
is in no line of development made
more plain than in the matter of ship
yards. The Toxic shipyard, covering
fully sixty acres. is reported as now
employing 5000 men. who have all the
latest machinery, including pneumatic
riveters. and six steamers, of 1000
for the Nippon Yusen Kaisha. The
fact that the works are equipped with
electricity is a further indication of
the progressive spirit now ruling.
The shipbuilding yard at Nagasaki
is also going ahead, but special inter-
est attaches to the new government
steel works. Some FIVE million yens
have already been spent, but fifteen
millions have been voted. The works
are on the western shores of Kiushiu.
the most southern of the large islands
forming the empire, and it is therefore
contiguous to China The establish
ment, which covers $50 acres, is close
by the coalfields, connected with the
railway, and a seaport having over
twenty feet of water win be conve-
nient for the shipping of the finished
products to the northern islands and
also TO China. which ultimately must
become large customer. The works
are thoroughly equipped In addition
to blast furnaces there are coke ovens,
and in the steel department open
hearth and Bessemer furnaces. with
full set of rolling mills for roughing,
three bar mills, as well as rail sheet
and plate rolls. There are steel and
iron foundries, boiler shops, labora-
tories. testing and other departments.
The works win soon be put in opera
tion. construction being far advanced.

A long-expectei French 1ugger was
seen making for the roadstead, and the
Lowestoft free traders were on the
alert. anxiously seeking an opportuuni-
y for communicating with her crew,
says an exchange. While they waited
for a lapse Of vigilance on the part
OF the excisemen, boat was lowered
from the lugger and rowed toward the
shore. A curious crowd of beachmen
and excisemen assent bled TO meet her,
and as she came in on the crest OF
a roller ii was observed that she con-
tanned coffin The French boatman
had mournful tale to tell On board
the lugger had been an Englishman
suffering from an illness which soon
proved fatal. In his last moments of
consciousness he had begged the cap
tain not to bury him at sea. but to keep
his body until a resting place could be
found for it under the green turf of a
ehurchyard in his native~land Sym
pathy with his sad fate, and the knowl-
edge that the lugger was not far from
the English coass. had induced the cap
tain TO consent; and now he had sent
the body ashore for burial. In spite
OF his broken English. the French
mems spokesman told his tale well.
Both excisemen and beachmen-espe-
cially the lauer-loudly expressed
their admiration of the captains con-
duct A parson was summoned, and
in little while a mournful procession
made its way from the beach to the
churchyard; even the chief officer of
the excisemen was present, and is said
TO have shed tears. That night the
local ''resurrectionists" were busy, and
at dawn the churchyard contained a
desecrated grave. A little way inland.
