Santa Claus Pays His Annual Visit to
the Children Who Attend the
Leyce Mission.

More than 30 boys and girls, mostly
negro residents Of the river district were
given their aurral Santa Claus treat a;
the Levae Mission. Main and Market
streets, last night.
This has been annual event since the
starting Of the mission. and is looked for
ward to with a deal Of expectation by the
poor of the district. In fact. it is consid-
erei the most important event Of the year
for them.
When Santa Claus entered. the mission
room was crowded to its utmos; capacity.
and II was necessary for him TO climb over
chairs and the heads Of the tots TO reach
the big tree in the other end OF the room.
Some OF the smaller pickaninnies got
scared when old Kris kringle entered with
his long beard and furs. but their mann
mics" soon Quieted them with ''Lawd
child. he haint goin' Go nothin.''
Last Sunday Mr.. Forse read letter to
the members of the Sunday-school class,
OF which he Is superintendent. purporting

Santa promised to visit the mission ana
give each member Of the class d suit

OF the children we're given two bags. the
one containing candies. nuts and other
goodies. while the other contained toys,
articles OF clothing and books.
Just before the arrival OF Santa Claus
Mr.. Forse addressed the meeting. a pro-
gramme. which included Sunday-school
songs by the children, a recitation by
Miss Catherine Duckworth. a vocal duet
BY the Misses Amy Howe and I-ela John
son, and a guitar and mandolin duet By
the Misses Peters. was given.
Santa Claus also addressed the children
and told them to BE- faithful to their class
and prompt in Attendance.
Those who assisted Mr.. Forse in pre-
pairing for the Santa Claus celebration
were Mrs. Fannie Parkinson. the Misses
Mable Reed. May Vcgel, Jennie SchrG6er,
Ivern Hampton and Claire and Leila Pc
ters.
The Levee Mission. which was started
about five years ago by Mr. Forse, Is one
of the most successful of It's kind. It has
proved n great help TO the poor Of the
district and has been the means OF bring
ing many TO lead Christian life, who.
because OF their associations and the lack
OF missionary efforts IN that district. were
anything but exemplary.
ar. Forse is an active worker in Foun-
tain Park Congregational Church, and
most of his assistants are members OF the
same church. He has the active support
OF the business men In the downtown dis
trict in carrying on the good work.

A PEEP INTO DREAM1AND.

I'm going to tell you of something saw,
l saw 1t my very own self
was sitting alone in my little low chair
In front of the nursery shelf.
The nurse had just gone to bring up my tea,
The same as she does every night,
And l was quite happy there all by myself,
Watching the dim freight.
When all of sudden 1 saw the toy boy
Unfasten his little toy drum,
And beckon across to tie little toy girl
To put down her toy coll and come.
The white woody dog that I'd left on the
wagged his tail as they came down his
way,
And the old yellow donkey 1 keep in the
Poked his head out the side with bray.
Just then am sure that they heard Susan's
voice,
For they stopped in the midst of game,
And they hurried right back to the mantel-
In the very same way that they came.
tried to tell nurse the way they came
down,
And asked how it ever could be-
But she just shook her head, and laughed
as she said:
Come and see what I've brought for
your tea"

was served in the same way, crossing
the first thread dozen times, until
that too was all used.

that one could hardly stir about the
house, which looked inside like a huge
cobweb.
AS soon as each guest entered the par
lor he or she was handed one of the
threads and told to follow where it led,
and prize would be found on the end
of it. Such time as they had! The
youngsters were soon as badly mixed
as the threads, and in very little while
the whole crowd resembled flies caught
in web of hungry spider.
By the time the souvenirs were found
that was almost the hungriest party
that ever cooled off with ice cream, and
all traces of stiffness that sometimes
spoils parties were gone forever-Bos-

department, from which were to be
cast bronze figures to surmount the
granite pedestal. In spite of all this,
and in spite Of Inc fact that over
100000 was raised, no monument was
ever erected, and. what is stranger
still, no money was ever returned to
the subscribers. Both monument and
money have disappeared in tradition,
and it is only by chance that it is
brought back now to recollection that
such an enterprise was ever contem-
plated.
The National Lincoln Monument as
ISOLATION was chartered by congress
in 1867. and the list of incorporators
included cabinet ministers, senator's,
representatives and other dis
tinguished citizens.
OF all the incorporators only one
is known to survive-Shelby M. Gull
lom. now United States senator from
Illinois, and then a representative in
congress. Cullom does not remem-
Der anything about the association.
When he was reminded of it not long
since he said the whole business had
entirely slipped his mind. And yet at
least 100000 must have been con.
tributed for the monument. because
the ~ bronze guns were issued by the
war department to the association, ac-
cording to the official records; and
under the act of incorporation it was
provided that no guns should be is
sued until the voluntary subscriptions
actually in the hands of the treasurer
should amount to 100000.
There are occasional references to
the proposed monument in acts of con-
gress and department records, down as
far as 1882, when all allusion ceases and
oblivion closes over the enterprise But
100000 seems to have been successfully
swallowed up.
