feels. Surely It can't be a whole night
since he lay there. listening for the sharp
little hoofs on the next door roof, where
the lights had been out for such a long
time, and yet, it surely must be morning.
Though it is stin perfectly dark, some
thing in the very feeling Of things tells
him that that sly, jolly little fellow had
given him the slip again and II is time to
get up. BY that sure telepathy that ac-
companies a much anticipated day this
wakefulness is communicated to the other
little sleepers, and another pair OF big eyes

he saw that Mrs. Shermans condition was
such that she could not survive him and
the will was changed accordingly. At one
time myself and Senator Shermans pri-
vate secretary, BabCock, were made the ex-
ecutors. Later on Colonel Myron Parker Of
Washington was put in BabcOck's place
The reason for this change was that Colonel
Parker was well posted on Washington real
estate and the senator thought he could
handle that part OF his estate better than
anyone else"
What became Of the senator's Washing
ton property?" ] asked.
HE gave his two houses on K street, the
one in which he lived so long and that
which he built during his latter years, to
Mrs. McCallum before he died. Some OF
the remaining real estate was sold by the
executors and the balance was turned over
to the Sherman Real Estate company,
which is still handling It. Senator Sher-
man owned a large number of small houses
in Washington. We gave about $4,000
worth of these to Mrs McCallum. She had
about 100000 cash coming to her at one
time, and she preferred to take part Of
that in these houses"

Ohio politics which are not generally
known and especially in relation to the
troubles between Senators Sherman and
Foraker"
How about the Garfield episode, wherein
Garfield, speaking for John Sherman at the
nominating convention, was chosen presi-
dent in his stead?"
THAT Incident will be fully dealt with"
said Mr., Kerr. II have the facts concern
ing It from the mouth of the late Charles
Foster and from Sherman's letters and
papers"
was Charlie Foster false to Sherman at
that convention, and did not Foster want
Garfield to be PRESIDENT"
Il don't think Foster was false to Sher-
man, and / doubt II he thought Garfield
would be nominated I think, however,
that he was more anxious about his own
position in that convention than sher-
mans, and that he hoped a situation might
arise which would cause him CFoster to
be chosen as the vice presidential candi-
date"

them all out and unwrap them and look
at other peoples things all at the same
time. And how could Santa ever remem-
Der to get things into just the right stock
ing? OF course the candy is a little bit
dusty and fuzzy from the nut hulls and
the stocking. but that don't matter-it was
all in together and couldn't help sticking
a little bit
And how good IT does taste and the nuts
with it-and before breakfast too. And
such a beautiful doll, with curls and eyes
that open and close just like a real child;
and such a dear little dress-just the same
kind Of cloth as sisters Sunday one. Such
an odd coincidence, but. then, Mrs. Santa
probably did that to help remember which
little girl it was to go to. What darling
she is, anyway-Mrs. Santa Claus-and
wouldn't It be lovely to really know her?
And so through hundred ecstacies they
go until mother insists that they must get
ready for the breakfast for which, some
how, nobody has any appetite. And so
the day is launched. A merry Christmas.
But to the sad heart, for there must
ever be sad lives that are only made the
more lonely by the Joy Of those about
them, there is at least the comfort OF con-
tributing to the happiness of others. The
shadows must fall somewhere. 1t is the
young heart that keeps the world young
and happy and while there is love in the
heart the world will never grow sad or old.

The conversation here turned to the last
days Of Senator Sherman, and l asked Mr.
Kerr whether he thought that his failure
TO be nominated as presidential candidate
had anything to do with It. He replied:
81 think not. His breaking down was, II
seems 70 me, occasiOned by old age, added
to the extraordinary work he did while
writing his "reminiscences. He had had
some lapses OF memory in the Senate be-
fore that, but they were slight. When he
began TO write his recolections he became
50 interested that he worked at It day and
