HUNDRED BOYS HAPPY
DISTRIBUTION OF OVER
COATS BY sAKs e. co.
Pathetic Incidents Disclosed by Inves-
tigation into Conditions-Gratt-
tude of Recipients.

The annual holiday distribution Of over
coats. undertaken by Saks & Co. about
fifteen years ago, was a pleasing feature
of this Christmas morning, and 100 small
boys were made happy by receiving warm
garments at the big store at the corner OF
eth street and Pennsylvania avenue 1t
was announced that the distribution
would be made between and 10 o'clock,
and long before the appointed time there
was long line of children In waiting at
the 7th street door of the store.
AS has been their custom, Saks & Co.
sent to the Associated Charities this gear
100 numbered cards, and 1t was left to
the organization to choose the most de-
serving cases from among the poor under
their observation and distribute the cards
which entitled each bearer to a coat. For
the information of the management OF
the store the Associated Charities fur
n1shed a brief report on each case recon-
mended, and no better Idea can be given
of the suffering in such large measure
relieved by the overcoat distribution than
by quoting q typical Endorsement made
by the charity workers.
Sample Gases Cited.
One of these read as follows:
No. 19-Thirteen years old. Father dy-
Ing of tuberculosis. Mother takes in wash
ing to support four small children"
Another: No. 79-Eight years old.
Father drinks. One child in family died
recently. Two others and mother sick. No.
So same family"
Nos. 10 and so were last in the line this
morning and they came in together, having
walked. all the way from their home far
out on the Canal road. IT was apparent
That NO. 10 had no underclothing, and he
was stu wearing a f1imsy summer suit.
Ihls little fellow and one or two other
particularly deserving cases so aroused the
pity OF the management of the store that
they had them fitted out in other garments
besides the oyercoats
One woman had been able to secure only
one ticket, but she said that the policeman
who daily passed her home In Northeast
Washington advised her to bring along an
other of her sons, and this boy presented
such forlorn appearance that he was
sent out Of the store clad in a warm
REFER.
All phases of human nature were Illus
trated as the boys walked out with their
presents. Nearly all were smiling in happi-
ness; some stopped to express their thanks.
while others seemed to take it as matter
of course. Some of the mothers who
brought their shivering children to the dis
tributton showed so Enthusiastically the pinch
of want that their unspoken gratitude at
seeing their little ones protected against
the cold was the most touching feature of
the morning.

Gold Output of Alaska.

The gold mines on the American side OF

district is estimated by experts at approx.

Dolls.
From the London Chronicle.

We might think. after taking stroll
through the toy shops Of today, that the
elegant lady doll is certainly modern
creation. But she seems to have made
a great hit in the exhibition of 1851, where
one of the most popular stalls was that of
Madame Montanari. big manufacturer
Of dolls. According to an account of the
time, they represented all ages, from In
fancy to womanhood. arranged in family
groups. with suitable and elegant model
furniture" and, what Is less easily be-
Neved, much skill was evinced In the
variety Of expression given to these figures,
in regard to the ages and stations they
were supposed to represent" The doll of
today is certainly not remarkable for
variety OF expression" and as to age
well, In the world OF wax there are only
two ages. that Of infancy and that OF
elegant womauhood II would be real

A Fifteen-Ton Piece Of Coral.

FroLl the Honolulu Commercial Advertiser.
The dredger Governor. in the old Pacific
Mail dock. did herself proud yesterday
morning by landing flfteen-ton piece OF
coral on dry land. The big scoop had been
delivering ordinary loads. when the boom
dropped and the engine started to haul in
a fresh load. Then the gear groaned and
things commenced to make q big fuss, and
more steam was given and everybody stood
by. Balanced as neatly as an egg in
spoon came up a. coral rock far too big to
get In tho scoop and just able to cramp In
under the gin block.

A Dangerous Habit.
Gladstone's Physician Gives Warning
Against u Growing American
Custom.

The growing habit amongst Ameri-
cans of taking a mint tablet or some
other so called digestive after eating a
hearty meal, is something that Sir
Andrew Clarke, Mr.. Gladstone's ply
stefan advises strongly against, saying.
1T is absolutely dangerous to take in
to the stomach remedies which are
popularity supposed co aid in the diges-
tion of food"
There is nothing known to the science
of medicine that can perform the work
of the human stomach. Drugs do not
and cannot digest the food. They
simply decompose it. What can be
more revolving or disgusting than the
thought of taking something into the
stomach that is going to turn the good
food you have eaten into mass of
corruption,
The only way to overcome indiges-
ton and its evil effects is to remove
all irritation, congestion and inflam-
nation is removed from the stomach
and digestive system, and those organs
will extract from the food all that
goes to make rich blood, firm muscle
steady nerves and sound healthy body

At Owlngsville, KY, recently,
two burglars broke into residence
IN which father and his 16-year-
old son were asleep. Both the
father and son, aroused by the
burglars, got guns with which to
repel them. The father saw a
man moving about the room and
shot him. 1t was the son, who
died almost instantly. The bur-
glars fired no shot. Yet they
have been put on trial on the
charge of murder in the first de-
gree, and the probabilities are
they will be convicted. It is the
reasonable contention of the pro-
secution that they are as much
responsible for the young man g
death as if they had shot him.
