New Ruling Unpopular.

The county officers are not
satisfied with the arrangement
which the county commissioners
have concocted. Under a new
ruling. the officers before they
can order a sheet OF paper or
blank, must submit the order to
the commissioners. The state
law plainly says who must be
be the purchasing committee,
the chairman Of the board Of
commissioners, the county
treasurer and the auditor. But
the commissioners, it seems
would do away with our state
laws. which are good enough to
suit the most fastidious person.
The officers we believe are capable,
honest men and will notoyerstep
their privileges. Itlooks q little
like boys play.

the children were glad to get them.
you may be sure
There are also warm countries where
there is no snow in winter. but Claus
and his reindeer visited them as well
as the colder climes. for there were
little wheels inside the runners of his
sledge which permitted it to run as
smoothly over bare ground as on the
snow, and the children who lived in
the warm countries learned to know
the name Of Santa Clans as well as
those who lived nearer to the Laugh
ing Valley.
Once. just as the reindeer were ready
10 start on their yearly trip, 4 Fairy
came to Claus and told him of three
little children who lived beneath a rude
tent Of skins on broad plain where
there were no trees whatever. These
poor babies were miserable and un-
happy, for their parents were ignorant
people who neglected them sadly.
Claus resolved to visit these children
before he returned home, and during
his ride he picked up the bnshy top
Cañon City record., 1905-01-05

The idea Of the Christmas tres ploaa-
Cd Claus. and so the following year he
carried many Of them In bis siedgp
and set them up in the homes Of pooe
people who seldom saw trees and plac-
I'd candles and toys on the branche4.
OF course he could not carry enough
trees I'm one load for all who wanted
them, but In some homes the fathers
were able to get trees and have them
all ready for Santa Claus when he Ar
rived. and these the good Claus always
decorated as prettily ~ possible and
hung with toys enough for all the
children who came 70 - tho ~
usht>1-
These novel ideas and the generous
manner in which they were carried
out made the children long for that
one night In the year when their
friend Santa Claus should visit them.
and as such anticipation il very pleas
ant and comforting the little ones
CLEANED much happiness by wondering
what would happen when Santa Claus
next arrived.
Perhaps you remember that stern
Baron Braun who once drove Claus
from his castle and forbade him to
visit his children? Well, many years
afterward. when the old Baron was
dead and his son ruled in his place, the
new Baron Braun came to the house
Of Claus with his train Of knights and
pages and henchmen and, dIsmounting
from his charger. barred his head hum
bly, before the friend of children.
&. MY father did not know your good
ness and worth" he said, "and there
fore Threatened to hang you from the
castle walls, but have children of my
own, who long for visit from Santa
Claus, and | have come to beg that
you will favor them hereafter as you
do other children"
Claus was pleased with this speech,
for Castle Braun was the only place
he had never visited, and he gladly
promised to bring presents to the
Baron's children the next Christmas
Eve.
The Baron went away contented.
and Claus kept his promise faithfully.

goodness, conquer the hearts Of all,
