This was the last day Of school until
Jan. 4. 1t is the largest Christmas
vacation the Minneapolis school chill
dren have had in several years. Nat
urally they are extremely sorry at be-
ing deprived of school privileges for a
longer period than usual andsa deep
note of regret CD pervaded the special
exercises which were held in many
Of the buildings to-day.
For several weeks youngsters in the
lower grades have been making daisy
chains" and miniature lanterns till
their little, pink fingers were as gum
my as a flies cemetery. To-day the
infant rooms blossomed out in all the
finery thus prepared, and in many in
stances real Christmas trees were
made the medium whereby the orna-
mental work of the youngsters was
distributed for the benefit of admiring
parents.
Also were 'tpieces" spoken. All Of
them were appropriate to Christmas,
and many bore down hard upon Santa
Claus. Santa happens to be one of
the Minneapolis school fads, by the
way, being taught along with other
interesting but useless ornamentations
to pupils in the first four grades, who,
according to some critics, had better be
learning the elevating art of squeezing
a dollar.
IL Inlay DS lllltISSlliiS -lO puDIlc
school pupils of years ago to know that
"'Twas the night before christmas,
and all thru the house." is still the
stumbling block of over-sensitive
teachers and blushful little girls.
Every year the portentous question
arises: Are they going to speak
| The Night Before Christmas? Speak
it ALL?" This inquiry, of course, is
directed particularly toward the coup
1-let ending: THAT shook when he
laughed like a bowlful of jelly Each

gled with the awful knowledge that
he or she really must repeat these ter

with the oncoming generation, and in
at least five Minneapolis schools the
homely simile for the physiological pc
| culiarities of the old saint created its
| annual sensation to-day.

AWFUL WORK OF
TUBERCULOSIS
THREE CITY HOSPITAL DEATHS
IN SEVEN HOURS.
All the Cases We're Those of Young
Men Under Thirty Years of Age
DIR. A. p. Williamson Says Mortal
ity Rate of Disease Can Be Re-
duced.

Within space of seven hours on
Wednesday night three men died at
the city hospital of tuberculosis. All
OF these were under 80 years of age.
Charles e. Holmes, a blacksmith,
who went to the hospital several
was the first to die. He had tuber-
culosis of the lungs. He was 81
years old and unmarried. Andrew
Miller of Cambridge, Mimi, a friend
of the dead man, was notified of the
death and will probably care for the
remains.
Emil Izakson, a laborer, 20 years
of age, died Of glandular tuberculosis
at 1:50 o'clock this morning. He
was unmarried and leaves no friends.
Andrew Peterson, aged % years, a
printer, who resided at 325 Washing
ton avenue S, with his father and
brother, had glandular tuberculosis.
He had undergone fifteen operations,
but nothing could save him and he
died at 5 o'clock this morning. Pc
terson was a widower, his wife and
child having been burned to death
few years ago.
The foregoing cases emphasized the
lesson of the local mortality returns
for the last month when, out of a
total Of 215 deaths, 26 were caused
by tuberculosis, or more than by any
other disease.
Mortality Can Be Reduced.
Yet the terrors Of consumption
could be diminished here one-half if
it were possible to send all Mime
apolis sufferers from the disease to
the sanatorium soon to be estab-
lished by the state in the pine woods
| Of northern Minnesota.
''The death rate would be cut in
three" said DR.. A. 2. Williamson of
this city, who has been active in car
rying out the sanatorium plans. "I
should estimate the death rate among
consumptives treated in the usual
| manner in a city like Minneapolis at
about 70 per cent. But in the sana-
ttoriums maintained near the seacoast
in Massachusetts, where the eleva-
ton is low, the air damp, and where
no benefit can be obtained from the
balsamic pine woods. the death rate
of tuberculosis patients has been re-
duced to 40 per cent. In the Mime
sofa sanatorium we should bring the
mortality down to 80 per cent, per-
haps to 80. Certainly, a consumptive
sent from average conditions in Min
| lneapolis ought to - have twice the
chances of recovery at the sanatorium
/ that he would enjoy here in town."

AT THE THEATERS
MetropoIitan-"The Storks.,

An agreeable recreation-much better
than was expected--is afforded by 1.-THE
Storks' on their second flight to Mime
apolis. The pensive bill of Richard Carle
the "bungloo" bird, was not especially
missed, nor did local experience with mus

this musical fantasy" A large audience

Aside from the bird disguises, nothing
novel or striking is discovered on second
inspection in the achievement of Messrs.
carrie and Steely The ''E- -philosopholus'

Steely are frankly borrowed but they re
taken from pleasant sources.

Senator Nelson has introduced into con-
gress a bill that may be the means Of
giving Minnesota some considerable state
forests. 1t provides that all third or
fourth-rate public land or land that is
too rocky or hilly for cultivation shall be
given to the state for forestry purposes.
An exception is made of such land as
it may be desirable to retain for ma
tional forest reserve. In the northern
part Of this state there is a good deal of
public land that will fall under the de-
scription of the Nelson bill. Such land
can only be profitably used to raise tim
