An Auburn man thinks that Santa
Claus must be taking time by the fore
Nck this year. The other afternoon the
nOetm&n left a most innocent looking
letter at his house. On the outside was
simply his name with the name of the
city and State-no street address. The
letter was 2 brief one for it contained
only one sentence, "rhiS is for your
personal use but neatly folded inside
the heavy paper were thirty-five dollars
in the newest and crisrest of bank
notes. The Auburn man and his fam
lily feel as if they were living in a dime
novel At first they didn't know
whether to think the money a gift
pure and simple from some generous
unsupported friend or what is called
conscience money 1t even occurred
to them that the whole thing might be
a joke and that the bills might be
counterfeit. a possibility soon dis
proved by submitting them to a bank
cashier. Though the Auburn man is
far beyond the three score years and
ten, this is his first experience along
this line, but he thinks he could bear
uD under almost any number of such
surprises: still he does wish that the
sender of that letter had not omitted to
sign his name or enclose his photo
graph.

rice and finally the host procured a

the kettle was thrown. The labOrers
