CHRISTMAS IN ENGLAND.
Fog Fails TO Dampcn the Ardor OF the
BritisherS.

LONDON, Dec. 24.-The Christmas
spirit was abroad throughout England
to-day, Notwithstanding the continued
heavy fog, which normally acts as an
extreme depressant. Not in years has
London had such a thorough dose of
that pea soup atmosphere for which the
metropolis is famous; but the popula-
ton, which grumbled during the week
because Of the inconvenience atten-
dant upon the fog. changed its mood
to-day, and, accepting the inevitable,
prepared TO spend a merry Christmas,
even welcoming the fog as a Christ
mas gift and a friend of olden days.
In all the great homes in England the
Yule log is burning. From Sandring-
ham to the humblest residence, rela-
tives who are scattered throughout the
rest Of the year are gathering to spend
the Christmas. 1t is estimated that
100000 persons poured out of London
to-day. To those who witnessed the
tremendous rushes at every station,
the wonder was that any person could
be left TO people London. But the exo-
dus leaves no appreciable mark in the
streets, which are thronged with nail
lions of Christmas shoppers and sight
seers, though the fog limits the scope
of view to about forty feet.
Most Of the Cabinet officers and diplo-
mats have left London. King Edward
and Queen Alexandra with the immedi-
ate royal family are gathered at
Sandringham Palace, where Christmas
Will be celebrated in the usual manner
Their Majesties will closely observe ali
the Christmas customs. There will be
a Christmas tree for the royal children
around which three generations will
meet as privately as royalty ever meets
to enjoy a typical home Christmas.

Kansas City. June 3.-All tributaries
of the kaw river in Kansas are rising
rapidly today, and q serious flood is
threatened. Heavy rains during the
past thirty days have caused most OF
the streams to twice overflow their
banks, destroying much property ana
rendering several hundred persons
temporarily homeless. Today rain con-
tinues to fall at many points thruout
Kansas and the ultimate result must be
that the Kaw will overflow its banks at
it's mouth in Kansas City. Altho no
great damage is expected in this city.
preparations are being made to meet
the situation as it may develop Rail-
road traffic is denloralized and already
many thru trains, both east and west
bound, are stalled. The principal
streams affected are the Kaw, Smoky
Hill, Republican and Marais Des
Cygnes. So far no casualties have been
reported.

houses were wrecked. There were no

damage has been done in the country.

CRIES FOR MORE TEACHERS.
Surprising Condition Confronting Chi.
cago Board Of Education.


Chicago, June S.-"Greater opportun-
ity offered women in other lines Of
business together with the fact that
in recent years the board of education
has steadily increased qualifications
without materially increasing salar-
ies has resulted in a dearth OF capable
teachers. Formerly so many women
were available as teachers that We
had little concern over ways of get
ting them. Our list of teachers ON
cali was so long that many women
had to wait two and three years be-
fore securing positions. This discour-
aged them and the position became
less attractive. That is why at present
we are advertising for teachers for the
next school term. Chicago cannot sup
ply the demand and it is doubtful
whether we can get them from the
country or other cities. Salaries may.
have to be increased to make the in
ducement attractive.-
So said Superintendent of Schools E..
G. Cooley, in explaining new problem
of the board Of education. While only
$50 namA- are on the ION calf' list for
next term Superintendent Cooley said
400 new teachers would be needed. Tho

Normal school will decrease this year.
