The report Of the coal strike COM

derstot d that the report is unanimous
on all of its essential points. There
is q very strong impression that the

of the miners and that the working

and should be decreased.
1.-THE question Of recognition Of the
union was settled by tine acceptance
by the operators of propositions made
by the miners through their officers,
and the commission, during the hear

formal deliverance on that poiut is ex-
pected. Just how much Of an increase
the commission decides the operators
can pay is a matter upon which those

NEW TYPEwRITERS
THEY ARE WONDERS AND ARE
COMING INTO USE RAPIDLY.

Typewriters with a motor and trans
mitter attached are being introduced
into the offices Of the Associated Press
The combination machine makes it
possible for telegraph operator to
receive . message and send it out again
on another wire at the same time.
The machines were recently patented
- Charles z. Yetman, Of New York.
The machines have already been
adopted by the Associated Press In
New York and Chicago, and few OF
the machines are used in the offices Of
the Pennsylvania Railroad company.
The machines are manufactured by
the Remington Typewriter company
under contract for the inventor. The
demand for them is far ahead Of the
supply.
With the introduction Of these ma
chimes the glass arm" operator, IS a
member Of the craft who has paralysis
of the wrist is termed. will be again
able to work at the trade. All that
the operator so afflicted has to do Is to
learn to operate typewriter by the
"eight-finger method" and he can
again assume his place at the desk.
The machine is SO constructed that
every time one Of the keys on the key
board is touched the Morse character
which represents that letter or figure
is made by the transmitter. Thus re-
ceiving and sending at the same time,
one man can do the work of two, and
do it more easily aud accurately.

ITO be more explicit, let's give a
Christmas tree" said he.
THAT sounds interesting" she said.
But where?"
Il think I shall have to borrow your

to all the preparation if you'll do the
entertaining.

guests?"
Grant me the privilege of allowing
the guests to remain a mystery until

1T will be rather more exciting to
do so.' she acquiesced. will they
be of the presentable variety?"
You must decide when you see
them" he announced.
II really believe Christmas will be

The doctor permitted himself a
-committal smile.

At s O'Clock Christmas Eve DR.. SUIT
ton presented himself before Miss
Carol in the front parlor and bowed
sedately.
Il have the honor to announce that
the tree is served" said he.
Miss Carol rose from her chair. and
the doctor threw open the big double
doors that led into the back parlor.
In the center of the big, dim room
stood a symmetrical fir decked with
strings of popcorn, brilliant Christ
mas candies and much tinsel. Hun
dreds of little candles sputtered and
winkled among the green branches.
Miss Carol favored the originator of
the scheme with a smile that sent the
blood to his head.
Really" she said. '1t's awfully
jolly. l haven't been so excited in
months. Tn sure our guests will be
wild about it. May 1 ask when you
expect them?"
'The guests are here" he an
nounced.
"Here?" said Miss Carol, peering
into the dusky corners of the room.
"Where ?"
The doctor looked at the pretty.
mystified face before him. 1t was
such a becoming expression that he
was 10th to let it go.

with his long white beard and his pack
on his back.
There was a thud, a rafting of Goals
as Santa hit the scuttle in his descent,
and then the children gave a dismayed
gasp.
TITS a burglar" chartered Reggie
under his breath. as he heheld a short
figure in a fur-lined coat, with vi
sored cap pulled down over his Cog
gled eyes.
The children shrivered. There was
no pack on his back. but in his hands
he carried some neatly wrapped bum
dies.
These he laid on the table, as he
spied the children.
"a Merry Christmas, little folks" he
said genially. 80 you have caught
me, have you?"
But they shrank away from him:
1--WE were looking for Santa Claus"
faltered Reggie.
well. that is my name. / have on
a new rig, but it's the same old saint,
said Santa.
But Ruth would not listen.
"Oh, it isn't Santa, Reggie" she
sobbed. Its just some old Sherlock

pretending. Oh, go away. Go away"
And poor Santa went.
Everywhere he had the same exper-

their eyes open, refused to accept him
in his new costume.
II want my old Santa. l want my
old Santa" walled one small girl, and
shrieked as Santa tried to pet her.
"Oh, I give it up" said Santa rue
fully, and he put on speed, and went
straight back to the Far North.
And there he changed his suit for
the dear old red tunic. and hitched his
deer to the old sleigh and started back.
Now Dashed, now Dancer,
Now Prancer and Vixen,
On Comet, on Cupid,
On Bonner and Bitten"
he shouted, as he cracked his whip and
sped through the villages. and Nellie
and Olaf heard him and ran out to see,
and clapped their hands and were
happy again, and all the little children
of the Far North heard the Jingle of
bells and wondered why Santa was so
late.
And that is why so many presents
were delayed on that Christmas. for it
is very long journey to the Far

tripped downstairs, and, slipping into
Mr.. Hardstile's room, she pushed the
big red apple into one sock and the
flannel heart into another.
When Nicholas Hardstile awoke his
first motion was to reach for his socks,
and his green eyes nearly popped out
of his head when he saw what was
in them.
Then he roared so loud that the
boarding house mistress, accustomed
as she was to his roars, hurried into
the room, where he held out the fam
mel heart with boiling rage, and
demanded to know who had dared to
enter his room and play such joke
on him.
The boarding house mistress at once
called all the servants into the hall,
and the bo'arders, attracted by the
extremely unpleasant noises that were
being made by Mr.. Hardstile, gathered
on the landing.
The little kitchen maid tremblingly
confessed all, crying bitterly.
Now do you suppose that Nicholas
Hardstile was touched? If you do
you have not improved even the short
acquaintance you have had with him.
No, indeed. He began to roar
again. He demanded that the girl be
kicked right out of the house. kick
ed" is just what he said.
But then all the other boarders had
something to say. They didn't roar,
but they silenced Nicholas Hardstile
Just the same. And before they got
through, the weeping little kitchen
maid had been made to comprehend
that she was going to get the very
finest Christmas that all the boarders
could get up for her, and that then
she was going to be kitchen maid
no longer, but was to be sent to
school.
You will be glad TO learn that Mich
olas Hardstile ate too much Christ
mas dinner that day, even though he
didn't believe in Christmas. And in
the night he was so i'll that they had
to call in the doctor, who filled him
full of the nastiest medicine that the
most depraved imagination can con-
! ceive.

fashioned and the deer too slow. and
had induced him to try the beautiful
machine.
Presently Santa left the Far North
and came to a warmer atmosphere.
Now, in one of the big cities of the
South there lived a small girl and
her brother, who, like Nellie and Olaf,
were anxious to see Santa Claus.
II am going to keep awake Christ

had announced to Ruth.
"Oh, Reggie, do you think you
could?" Ruth had asked in an awed
tone.
yes" said Reggie. II am going to

chimney corner and when l hear the
sleigh bells / am going to peek out"
"Well, If you can, l can" said Ruth;
and so on Christmas Eve the two chill

the dark chimney corner.

Santa does i'm fiats?"
why, he just climbs down the air
shaft" said Ruth. Nurse told me
this morning"
IT guess he don't bother with fats
much" said Reggie. "for no children
are allowed in them anyway"
Just as the clock struck twelve there
came a sound from without.
Hush" whispered Reggie, and
squeezed Ruth s hand. for that small
young woman had dropped to sleep.
"Oh, it's only an old automobile on
the street." said Reggie as he heard
the clang of the gong, and the whirr OF
an electric motor.
But that was where ne was mis-
taken for the auto WAS on the roof
and not on the street, and Santa was
clambering out and selecting a doll for
Ruth and a set OF dishes, and punch
ing bag and pair of boxing gloves
for Reggie.
Then he dropped down the chimney.
Ruth and Reggie held their breaths.
They knew just how he would look
