the use OF children under six. The CO.

as fastas funds are obtained for the

Anything approaching real Christmas
Is new to these children Of the streets
and slums. last year some Of them were
selling papers late into the night, eating
scanty meal bought from a push cart
peddler and sleeping in a dirty tenement
room or on the sidewalk where little
comfort can be found by one who curled
his weary body on the grating over some
warm cellarway. AT the Village Christ

fires in the living rooms of the cottages,
with games, cern-popping laughter and
excited anticipation of the morrow. Dawn
will find each villager snugly tucked in
small white bed which he has come to
call his own, and the rising hour will

fashioned BY the boys working spare
moments in the trades shops, or have

the modern asylum, There are no harsh
repressive methods for forcing boys into
a certain mold but all along the line they

normal children. Punishment is the last
resort to be used after a denial of priyi-

Two things are ardently desired by

STORY OF HERO
SLoCuM HORROR
AFTER DEATH WORLD HEARS OF
HEROIC DEEDS AT THE sLO-
CUM HORROR-GIvES LIFE FOR
OTHERS

NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-"Greater
love hath no man than this that
man lay down his life for his
friends"
This inscription on an urn into
which were put yesterday the ashes
of Henry N, Malla5dr, brings to light
for the first time the story of hero
whose life war forfeited in the saw
ing of others. On June Is, 1904,
Mallabar was chief clerk in River
side hospital, on North Brother ISL
and, when the Inflated excursion
steamer General Slocum, a mass of
flames, bore down on that island.
Mr.. Mallabar was one of the first to
see the burning steamer, and one OF
the first at the work of rescue. A
strong swimmer, he plunged into the
water and swan out to where wom-
en- and children were jumping from
the burning steame" He seized three
little children and took them safely
to shore. On second trip two more
children were saved, and on three
succeeding Journeys out to the burn
ing steamer he saved three women.
The last woman he brought to shore
weighed more than 200 pounds. AS
he dragged her to safety out OF the
water Mr.. Mallabar fell unconscious.
The physicians discovered that his
exhaustion has caused the bursting
of blood vessel in the brain. Medi-
cal aid restored to him the use of
his faculties, but from a healthy,
vigorous man he became a hopeless
invalid. Shock after shock of pa
ralysis followed, until the one came
the other day which brought death
with it. Mr.. Mallabar was born In
England, but came to America in his
early youth.

RAIL BIRDS
ARE CUESSINC

NEW YORK, Dec 9.-The first
mystery of the turf season Of 1908
has appeared in yearling colt In
the stable of James r. Keane at
Sheepshead Bay. There is little In
formation obtainable about the colt
except that it is of dark or brown
color, and is wonderful goer. The
youngsters name and pedigree are
not known to any outside the stable,
and Mr.. Keene's employees do not
talk about horses they have in train
ing.
1t is said at a recent trial the
youngster did quarter mile with
weight up in 22 80, some of those
who saw the trial from afar of
making the time 10 % fiat. 1t has
beel fully determined, 1t is said, that
Mr.. Keene's sensational 3-year-old of
last season, Peter Fan, will not be
trained again owing to injuries re"
ceived late in the season, but will
be sent to the Keane farm in Ken
