GlF rs TO BE MADE
What the Little Roosevelts Want.
First Lady OF the Nation to be
Remembered

WASHINGTON. D. G.. Dec. 14.--At
the White House, as In nearly all the
homes throughout the land, the prin
cipal theme Of interest Is the selec.
tion Of Christmas gifts and the prep.
aration for the holidays. President
Roosevelt believes in keeping the hol-
iday in the good, oidfashioned way.
and as consequence Christmas Is
always joyous occasion for all the
members Of his family. Il is strictly
a family celebration The children are
home from school. and for two weeks
the executive mansion resounds wstn
their shouts and laughter the presi-
dent himself often taking part in their
romps,
or course, the strictest secrecy ia
maintained 81 u What the Roose fslt
children are likely 10 find In theif
stockings Christmas morning, but the
tastes of the youngsters are SO well
known that II is not difficult to guess
the nature of the gifts they are likely
TO receive from their parents. Miss
Ethel has not yet outgrown her doll
days, and a handsome addition TO her
family Of makebelieves will probably
delight her eyes Christmas morning.
Little Quenten, also, will be the recip-
lent Of a variety OF toys and play
things, among them number Of the
mechanical sort. OF which he is espec-
tally fond. Archibald scorns knick-
knacks, and Christmas Is not Christ
mas to him unless he finds something
alive among his presents. He has ex-
pressed desire. il is said for bear
or an alligator, but 1t is hardly likely
that these additions will be made to
his menagerie, which ready includes
ponies, dogs, sheep and variety Of
other pets.
Theodore, Jr., Is rapidly approach.
ing the grown.up age. He Is fond of
outdoor sports, including hunting
fishing, football and boating, and his
Christmas gifts Will be such as to
crafty his tastes In this direction
Being naturally devoted to reading and
study. he does not allow his taste for
sport to interfere. and books are al
ways welcome presents for him. 1t is
not known just what Miss Alice Roose-
welt Is likely 70 receive. but Il was
noticed that Mrs Roosevelt, during
her late visit q New York. was Wis
itor al large Broadway jewelry Ell
tabi ahment
Mrs. Rucsrspst Is an exquisite nee
die woman al Is also an adept ii
fashioning yaricelored embreiderles
She has store of daintily initiated
handkerchiefs. film lace collars and
little articles whose value will bt
greatly enhanced by the fact that the
work is the product of her skilful fin
gers. During the present week mum
Der of packages will be despatched b.
Mrs. Roosevelt to friends abroad Or II
distant parts Of the United States
They will be carefully timed TO reach
their destination at the opportune mo
ment
Following the established precedent
the cabinet women will present Mrs
Roosevelt with handsome gift. None
Of the ladies feel free to disclose It's
nature. but II is sure TO be something
beautiful and costly The members
Of the cabinet will probably make 10
dividual gifts to the president

Minnesota Coal.

State Auditor Iverson has let cor
tract for mining bituminous coal on
state land to the Qoudenaw Develop
ment company of Duluth. The com.
pany is given lease on the southwest
quarter of section 36. township 81,
range 26, in Aitkin county, where, it
ia said, fine vein of bituminous coal
lies in convenient form. The COM
pany Is TO pay u cents ton for the
coal mined and ia given q so year
lease. For this the company pays
500 q year until shipping begins, and
also the taxes on the property. For
five years, within the completion of q
pany must pay royalty on {, 1000 tons
This is the first lease ever granted
by the state for mining coal and there
is no law to cover it definitely. There
is q law which authorizes the auditor
to lease state land for mining of
cooper and other Minerals" but the
terms are not fixed, Under this law
Mr.. Iverson wanted to fix a. contract
for Is cents q ton, but the company
objected to the amount and it was left
to referees. Mr.. Iverson selected
George B. Edgerton, of St. Paul, the
company selected Alfred Merritt, OF
