No. 5 was the typical country scnool>
house. II was painted red and con-
tanned two rooms-one for the more
advanced scholars and one for the ''pri-
maries." There was an entrance for
each section. One Of these little vesti-
bules had been transformed for the &C.
casion into a dressing room for Santa
Claus. In the middle Of the primary
department. which was the larger d.
vision of the building, short but
broad spreading Christmas tree had
been placed. 1t bore fairly generous
yield of tinseled gifts. win added the
presents he had bought and then, be-
fore the children began to arrive. re-
tired to the vestibule to make up" as
Santa Claus.
The room soon filed. and. to the ac-
compartment of the music of tin and
brass horns, Santa Claus entered. The
children gazed upon the welrdly built
up St Nicholas with feelings Of awe
mingled with admiration. Santa
stepped up to the tree, bowing to the
little folks as he went. Clumsily he
selected the first present and called
out the name inscribed thereon:
Jimmie Brown
A youngster about seven years OF
age, with his hair plastered down into
a cowlick on his forehead, promptly
stepped forward from the front row,
looked around and. seeing that he was
the only person out Of line, stuck his
finger into his cheek, began to blubber
and abruptly rushed back to the shell
ter of the crowd. He was quieted and
made his way haltingly to the tree,
where St Nicholas handed him
mauve colored sheep which emitted
plaintive "Ba-a-av' when it was
pressed. AS Jimmie moved jerkily
backward toward his original position

DIZZINESS IN STOCK MARKET
BORDERS ON STAGNATEON.
BANKS USING INFLUENCE
AGAINST SPECULATION.
Still Further Large Demands
Likely to Be Made on Money
Supply for Ordinary Business.

New York, Oct. There was an ~Increas-
ing tendency TO dullness in the stock mar
ket to-day and the condition became semi
staEnant at times. There was an obvious
readiness backed by powerful resources. TO
support the market at any indication Of
a break in prices such as occurred at the
opening. but there was an equally obvious
disposition 10 keep advances within moder-
ate limits and not induce any renewed out
break OF extensive speculation. The adop-
ton OF this policy in stock market opera
tons by well equipped forces served 10 re-
inforce the admonishing policy OF the banks
TO restrict the speculative employment of
funds until after the money outlook has
cleared up entirely. The desire to await the
result OF to-morrow's conference OF coal OPP
orators and miners representatives with
President Roosevelt was also a restraining
influence on speculation. As q CONSEQUENCE.
speculation hattened out almost completely
and this development was regarded with
genuine relief and satisfaction by the best
opinion in the financial world.

money market by Secretary Shaw's action

EXCHANGE ADVANCES.

and q later decline was due purely TO the
fact OF the postponement OF the eailinv az
