Like Goblin Carried Him or.

When you're only a city boy and live in
nat where fireplaces don't exist and Chin
neys are pretty well hidden you've got to
hunt somewhere else for Santa Claus. At
least that's the philosophy Of four-year-

Freddie Is the son OF Carl Rasmussen.
who opened vegetarian restaurant at
the Sixth avenue address a few days ago
and who yesterday brought Freddie and
his brother. who Ia two years older, and his
mother all in from a big country farm
where they had been, to live over the res
taurant. The youngsters talked Santa
Claus all the way In and when Mamma
Rasmussen put them to bed at $50 =. NJ.
and went down to help her husband in the
restaurant they kept up the talk.
Fredde's brother dropped OF to sleep
about P. NJ. and then Freddie started to
look for chimneys no az to be prepared to
nee Santa Claus when he arrived and to
catch the old rascal right at his celebrated
act. Freddie couldn't find a chimney,
but as he was looking out the window he
saw that the coalhole out in the sidewalk
was open.
He didn't waste any time putting on
clothes, but slipped downstairs In his little
nightshirt. II wasn't very cold out, but
1t wasn't summertime and when Freddie
reached the coal hole he couldn't keep his
teeth together.
Fifty Of the holiday shopping crowd
stopped as they saw the little chap and
some one asked him what he was out there
for.
I'm looking for Santa Claus chartered
Freddie. did you zee him?"
The inquirer said he didn't.
Then Policeman Brace came along and
pushed through the crowd 10 Freddie
Now Freddie had heard Of the COLLINS,
too, and the brass buttons scared him so
he couldn't even tell where his bed was
Brace tried to f1d out from people around
but no one seemed to know .'iso,without vast =
ing any more time Brace rolled Freddie
up In the tails Of his big blue coat and carried
the bare-legged. bare -headed and shivering
bow to the Tenderloin police station.
The matron wrapped him up and put him
next TO the big round stove In the back
room. He was telling her all about it
after a half hours thawing out, when Papa
Rasmussen rushed into the station.

Senator Hoar said;
-Our republic is better than any other

The doctrine OF 1891 and the years which

every man TO make his dwelling wherever

THE orator of to-day puts his emphasis

We live under the same flag as our fathers
But IL seems sometimes rs though it has
different meaning. We no longer speak of
it, except colby and formally. az the sym

power. or Of a false, cheap tinsel glory.
But all these things are temporary and
superficial and Cutaneous. The deep heart
of the American people beats to-day. as

times when to the unthnking II seems AZ
