A LOST ILLUSION.
gadie's santa Claus Was Only John
 ny smiths Papa.

The loss of part of Santa Claus dis guise at a Christmas Sunday school en- tertainment and the consequent dis covery that he was only man after all'' caused one little girl at least acute distress.
 Santa Claus was one of the cherished ideals of Sadie's childhood, and Sadie parted with her ideals reluctantly She was sure she heard the reindeers scam per over the roof every Christmas eve, and the fact that even the gas logs were pretty tight fit for the chimney did not dispel the illusion that somehow Santa Claus. despite his corpulence. managed to slip through the tiny slit with his pack and leave presents on tree and in stocking
 So when she saw on the Sunday school platform his hoary head and beard, fur trimmed coat, fat stomach and short legs-and, above all, bis pack --she greeted the familiar figure with enthusiastic applause. Unfortunately for Sadie's peace of mind, however. the hoary hair and beard became entangled in the branches of the Christmas tree when Santa Claus began to hang up the contents of his pack. and when he withdrew his head, sans hirsute adorn- ment. he revealed the familiar features of prominent churchman. Then the assemblage was startled by a desolate wall that suddenly rent the air.
 Oh sobbed Sadie, there ain't any Santa Claus, He's only Johnny Smiths papar-New York Press.

Against Dyna mite.

San Francisco's remarkable plight, with great fire devouring block after block and the water mains broken and the fire department useless, afforded the best test to which the use of dyna- mite could be put as means of check ing the advance of the confiagration. Judging from all the reports, the ex- plosions did practically no good, and some fire fighting experts are of the opinion that the demolition of sound buildings facilitated rather than check ed the progress of the flames One of these is Chief Engineer Horton of Bal timore, whose experience in fighting the great fire in that city two years ago gives weight to his words.-Wash- lngton Star

Where the Christmas Angel Visits
 Suffering Children.
 In one Of the German hospitals of our country is observed a custom quite in accordance with the beautiful Senti- ment the Germans weave about Christ mas.
 Christmas belongs to the children every body knows that-but it belongs 10 them in deeper. more beautiful sense than everybody" knows. One is reminded of it. owever, if he wit nesses such scene as is portrayed in this hospital on Christmas eve One of the nurses dresses in a long, soft flow ing robe of white, bearing in her hand 8 fir bough covered with snow. The snow is cotton sprinkled with diamond dust. This is the Christmas angel
 The children are told of the gentle visitor and walt in their little cots When darkness is outside they hear the strains of sweet music in the distance. The nurses are singing Christmas car ols, and the sounds come through open doors. Then the Christmas angel comes. She goes to each little cot.
  to the whispered secrets. Each one tells her what he wants on Christmas day. Then. with a tender word she passes out. and 10 the sound of the car ols they all fall asleep-those who can slip away from pain.
 When the day dawns all the children are taken into the kindergarten Some are carried. some are rolled. and some can walk. Sure enough. each finds there what he asks for-drums and dolls and trumpets and books. On long. low table is plate for each one. filled with candies and queer little Ger man cakes. On one wall is tableau of the Nativity made of small wax figures, and painting on the wall completes the perspective of hills and shepherds and the guiding star. Hanging from the wall in the center of the ward is large hoop covered with laurel. At in- tervals around 1t are set lighted can dies. It is suspended from the ceiling by four wide ribbons.
 In the fever ward, where the con tagious diseases are cared for. the little patients of course cannot leave, but they have their Christmas too Two large. fine spruce trees stand in each end of the ward, brilliantly illuminat- ed by tiny, many colored electric lights Philadelphia North American.

Up In the Ar.

The fine and delicate art of getting oneself noticed has at last reached it's zenith. Not illogically, it has scared thither by balloon. In vain do we build grand houses. The houses stand still, and few see them. In vain do we race up and down the seacoast in 1,20O ton ocean going steam yachts. The vast majority of our compatriots live inland and are thus denied the spectacle of our felicity. In vain do we go snorting across the continent in motor cars. At best the automobile cuts a swath of publicity some 200 feet wide or less. But the balloon-ye gods, what a de- vice. Seven counties gape at you at once, and as you course blithely across the empyrean new counties come hour ly within your zone of infiuenee.-Bos- ton Transcript
