December 18th, 1906.
Dear Mr.. Davidson:
You are hereby appointed as my dis
tributing agent for Phoenix and all the
country around there. You kept such
a nice variety of presents last year
and so many little boys and girls be-
sides big men and women were pleased
with the presents bought at your store
that l have decided to appoint you
again as my chief distributing agent.
There are some little boys and girls
in and around Phoenix who haven't
been as good as they ought TO have
been. They haven't always minded
their parents or teacher as they should
have done. They haven't been as good
and kind to other little boys and girls
as they ought to have been. But l
have decided to send them presents
just the same, as l cannot find it in
my heart to disappoint the little boys
and girls just because they forgot to
do the right thing always.
1 hope that every little boy and girl
will do their best to be better the COM
ing year. That no boy in Phoenix will
tell a lie or steal or do a mean thing.
And that every little girl will be good
and sweet and kind to her mother and
teacher and playmates. Now, Mr..
Davidson, when the papas and
mammas visit your store, 1 want you
TO show them toys for little boys and |
girls, also presents for mamma and |
papa. have left you a good big lot |
of presents and every one ought to be !
suited
Give my love to the little boys and /
girls of Arizona and tell them l am |
sorry that there is no snow in Phoe-
nix, which prevents me driving my /
RENDERS and sleigh load of toys /
around that way.
Wishing you a merry Christmas and /
happy New Year, l remain cordially
yours,
SANTA CLAUS.

Pathetic Devotion.

A touching case of learning to write with the left hand is that of Mrs. J. R. Green, widow of the late author of "A Short History of the hnglish Peo- pie" She had acted as his amanuen- sis for long years, and 90 hard did she work. often writing to his dictatlon eleven hours q day. that her right hand became paralyzed. Shortly be- fore he died she had begun to be able to write quite easily with her left hand.

walls are 8 inches; those of the arch,

Makes Steel for World,

United States makes more than one
third of the worlds entire production
of steel. G. P. Blackston, iron and
steel expert, in his STORY of the Steel
Industry" running serially in the
Technical World Magazine, says:
''The United States makes more
than one-third of the worlds produc-
ton of steel-fifteen millions out of a
total of thirty-six- and one-half mil
lions of tons; it is the richest and
most prosperous among the nations.
The two statements are compliment
airy. Germany comes second. with
an annual production of 100000 tons;
and England third, with 100000 tons.
1.-The $50 steel works scattered
throughout the United States repre-
sent total investment of over $442,-
900 900, and pay $1O3 100000 annually
in wages. These figures cover only
the actual production of steel in its
crude form, a process in which man
has rapidly been superseded by the
marvellous and all but human ma
chimes. The magnitude of the indus
try in its entirety, representing cap
ital of billions and employing millions
of wage earners, may therefore be
imagined"

Facts About Mocha Coffee.

Back in the mountain districts be-
hind Alden the Arabs grow Mocha
coffee, says the Chicago Journal. Each
farmer" has a few bushes on which
he raises enough for his own use and
little extra to sell to the travelling
buyers who go from one farm to an
other collecting the raw berries in
very small quantities. Finally a cara
van is formed which transports the
precious product to Alden, a journey
taking two or three weeks. From
Alden the coffee is exported mostly to
France and America, where it is worth
almost it's weight in gold. Genuine
Mocha will not be easily attainable or
cheap until the Arabs adopt modern
methods of cultivation and build rail-
roads from the plantations to Alden,
the seaport Apropos of this, a con-
temporary, thinks it a miracle that
statistics show that during the last
six years the grocers of this country
have sold 100000 pounds of s'pure
Mocha and Java coffee" while there
have been but $4,000 pounds i'm
ported during the same period.

AWFUL PSORIASIS IS YEARS.

'I was afflicted with psoriasis for
thirty-five years. 1t was in patches
all over my body. used three cakes
ment and two bottles of Resolvent.
In thirty days I was completely cured.
and I think permanently, as it was
about five years ago. The psoriasis
first made its appearance in red spots,
generally forming circle, leaving in
the center a spot about the size of
silver dollar of sound flesh. In a short
time the affected circle would form
a heavy dry scale of a white silvery
appearance and would gradually drop
off, To remove the entire scales by
bathing or using oil to soften them
the flesh would be perfectly raw, and
light discharge of bloody substance
would ooze out. That scaly crust
would form again in twenty-four
hours. 1t was worse on my arms and
limbs, although it was in spots all
over my body, also on my scalp. If
