BEER AFLOAT.
Five Hundred Kegs Moving
Down the Delaware.

Philadelphia, Dec. 26.-Five hundred
kegs of beer are due to reach Philadel-
phia from a Northampton brewery some
time today. They are coming by water,
each on its w account. Not willing
to let this t%reasure go to waste, the
population of the river front is spending
the hours in skiffs upon the Delaware.
The beer kegs were stacked upOn a
platform outside the brewery at North
ampton. Undermined by the freshet,
the supports gave way n the kegs
tumbled into the liver. The brewery ad-
vertised a reWard of Is cents for each
key, empty or full. Some of the kegs
are empty, but the majority of them
are said to be full and floating, with
an inch or two showing above the
surface.
1t is expected that they will get here
by noon, if not before.

HELLO GIRLS FAVORED.
Telephone Operators Remembered ON
Christmas Day.

If anybody thinks subscribers to the tel
ephone exchanges are unappreciative of
the work of the operators they should
have seen the string of gifts which were
sent into the Topeka exchange of the Bell
ompany on Christmas day. The South
western Fuel ompany was particularly
generous in remembering the operators
and nearly all the leading firms of the
city gave some token of appreciation. One
of the hello girls received six pounds
of candy from the head of a prominent
business house She is sick today. The
other operators we're remembered similar
ly and not only local, but those Workin
the toll lines came in for a share of the
presents.
The report that the operators were
obliged to put in full time all of Christ
mas day was a mistake. In the forenoon
it was necessary to keep a large force on
duty, but in the afternoon most of them
were relieved from service, and all were
given two hours in which to eat their
Christmas dinner.

The people of Australia are much

great political questions in Australia at
