Transportation Bryan, of the Great
Northern, characterizes as nonsensi-
cal, the story from Superior that an
eighty-car freight train loaded with
coal was about to start from Superior
on passenger train schedule. He says
that coal trains have been leaving Su-
perior as fast as they could be made
up, and that trains made up yesterday
are on their way to Minnesota, North
and South Dakota points today.
1T would be had business for US to
try to give an eigfty-car train first
right-of-way, because each of our
cars weighs about IS tons, and second
because few connecting lines have sid
ings long enough to handle such a
train. We have been seding out COM
mercial coal from Superior for the
past ten days. giving 1t preference
over other freight and much of it has
already reached its destination"

Washington, D. c., Dec. 22.-Durine
the past few days there has been an
almost continuous stream of EXPRESS
men and delivery boys calling at the
White House. Every year at this sea-
son thousands of gifts from total
strangers reach the executive man
sion. The receipt of these gifts cause
no end of embarrassment to the Presi-
dent, and he doubtless would be sim
cerely gratified If appreciative citi-
zens chose some less substantial
method of remembering him at Christ
mas time. When of considerable
value, the gifts are always returned
to the donors, otherwise they are
accepted politely, with note of ae-
knowledgement. There is always a
large collection of choice edibles re-
ceived at Christmas time, more than
would be sufficient for the needs of
the White House occupants for many
weeks. These are always turned over
by the President to these attaches of
the executive mansion who have fam
lilies. In the same way the countless
toys and trifes that are sent to the.
Roosevelt children are distributed
among the children's hospitals and
orphans home in Washington.
The Roosevelts inherit from their
Dutch ancestors veneration for the
spirit and sentiment of Christmas,
and the day is always given up en-
tirely to festivities. Quentin and
Archie, the two younger children, still
hang up their stockings to be filed
by Santa Claus. For the other men,
bers of the family the gifts are u.s.
ually laid out on the tables in the
library, where they are distributed
by the President himself after break
fast. Though the Presidents eldest
daughter now has a home of her own,
she and Mr.. Longworth will spend
Christmas day at the White House and
in the general festivities. The Christ
mas dinner will be served at 1880 D.
m. Besides the members of the fam
lily there will be a number of guests,
including Senator and Mrs. Lodge.
Capt and Mrs. Cawles and several
young Harvard men, the guests of
Theodore Roosevelt, Jr, during the
holidays.
