 A frl handling of the lines, but Santa Claus is the man who can do it without jarring brick off the chim- neys. Why should he want to stop at such a queer depot! you ask Because there are hundreds of little children living right in the very center of New York who have never pressed their ten der feet upon the brown earth, climbed trees, played in the grass or eNpefi- enced the thousand and one pleasures so common to everyday life. They live above the clouds, twenty stories or more above the real things of the world, but nearer by those twenty stories to the stars, the angels sand santa Claus. Their aerial dwelling, are his first stopping places on his annual Christ mas journey through the atmosphere.
 Born hundreds of feet above the hallnts of ordinary mortas, these little ones often pass years of their lives in their dizzy homes without thought of what is going oil 50 far below them. Their fathers are the superintendents, engineers and janitors of these lofty buildings. Upon the very roofs of these great pillars of steel cozy, home breath ing cottages have been erected.
 Here, right up against the sky, the children live and play from morning until night. They never miss the green fields and the tall trees. for they have never known them. Their play grounds are tue expansive roofs of the big buildings. and they are as free as the air
 While the smaller children pass their eariy years at home with their moth CTS twenty stories above everybody. their older brothers and sisters attend school with the little ones living far down on the streets. In the evenings

MAGOON WILL 60
 TO CUBA AFTER ALL
WINTHROP WILL BE ALLOWED TO COMPLETE HIS WORK IN PORTO Rlco-TAFT SATISFIED WITH ARRANGEMENT.

Washington, October At was an- nounced at the White House that on fur ther consideration of the subject the President had decided to adhere to his plan formed yesterday and send Charles D. Magoon to Cuba to relieve Secretary Taft as provisional governor. Governor Governor Winthrop to remain in Portor Rico where his services are needed.
 It was stated late today that the Presi- dent had reached his intention not to send Governor Magoon to Cuba as an- nounced earlier in the day, because of ad- vices then in hand from Secretary Taft intimatlnS that the arrangements made for Governor Winthrop assuming the duties of provisional governor had gone too far to be changed conveniently. A later dispatch from the secretary, how eyer, put the matter in a different light and indicated that the secretary was will ing that the governor should remain in Porto Rico. President Roosevelt. who has all along been anxious to have MT. Ma goon go to Cuba, acted promptly on the secretary's dispatch and immediately announced the appointment of MT. Ma goon. This decision he feels leaves Gov ernor Winthrop to finish important work which he has in hand in Porto Rico and will delay but a few months Judge Ma goons departure for the Philippines.
 Judge Magoon late today was informed that Secrtary Taft desired him to come to Havana at the earliest moment and he will leave here Saturday. which will enable him 10 catch a steamer from Miami Fla, due In Havana Tuesday. Gen eral Bell, who has been ordered to Cuba, will accompany MT Magoon, Secretary and Mrs. Root and Rev pr. Peabody of Groton. Mass, were guests at dinner at the White House.

states I do not recall any other state legislature which, in a similar length of time. has to its credit such a body of admirable legislation. Let me, however. most earnestly urge that your leglsla- ture continue this record of public ser vice by enacting one or two additional laws. One subject which every good citi- zen should have at heart above almost all others is the matter of child labor Everywhere the great growth of modern industrialism has been accompanied by abuses in connection with the employ ment of labor which have necessitated a complete change in the attitude of the state toward labor.
 This Is above all true in connection with the employment of child labor. In Pennsylvania you have made begin ming, but only beginning, in proper legislation and administration on this sub ject; the law must if necessary be strengthened. and it must be vigorously enforced. The national government can though I earnestly hope that that little will be permitted to be done by Con gress. The great bulk of the work, how ever, must be left to the state legisla- lures; and if our state legislatures would act as drastically and yet as wisely on this subject of child labor as Pennsyl- yania has acted within the present year as regards the subjects I have enumer- ated above. the gain would be literally incaleulable; and one of the most vital needs of modern American life would at last be adequately met.

door listening affably while her friend
from across the street told how she

brought over that bowl filled with some
Of her delicious homemade candy, and
to save me couldn't tell whether she
was presenting me with the bowl OF
just the candy. It's dainty little
dish, you see, and didn't want to az
sumo that 1t was meant for me unless
1t was, so 1t was pretty embarrassing
until few days afterward l hit on
the idea Of sending her some Of my

1t to me, she would just keep 1t after
that.
"But before week had passed she
sent 1t over again filled with some OF
her lovely orange marmalade. There
