HANGING THE STOCKINGS.

When some of us who are now men
were boys, 1t was the belief Of children
that the one way TO the heart of Santa
Claus was through the stocking, and
never q Christmas eve about the old
fireplace that did not have its row of
stockings, great and small, from faith,
er's sock to the tots little wooien
stocking. The going to bed at night
was the task Of the year-so hard TO
fireplace. with its hickory or black oak
backlog snugly in place against the
coming OF Christmas morn SO hard to
leave the stockings hanging there and
hasten up to the cold attic 10 ano
slowly tumble off to sleep to dream OF
the mystery Of the midnight arrival OF
Santa Claus and his team of reindeer;
so long, seemingly, from the bedtime
on the farm to the rising time, when
the glories Of the visit during the sleep,
ing hours might burst upon US.
We we're young then, n our hearts
were attuned to the music of the wind
as it whistled down the chimney
around the corner, under the droopins
caves, through the loosely jointed floor
each whisper the echo OF he song OF
the morrow.
Now, with added years, there is s
thrill in our hearts as We recall the
old days-the apples baking before the
fire, the chestnuts ready to burst ane
fly across the room in the hearth:

doll or a toy that would not so down

or the little set of dishes too large fol
the stocking snugly stored against the
jamb Of the fireplace, each name care
fully penned in q hand that looked No
more like fathers or mothers than II
looked like the writing OF the school
master, each Of us sure that Santa
Claus had. indeed, written it.
There Is a tear in the dlmming eye
as we look back to those happy days
as we gather the memories of the
years agone n sit and brood over
youth and health and bapriness-the
Joy and elevation OF spirit az fathers

niembrance and we hear again the pat

Plans Not Matured.

Washington, Dec. 24.-'The pro
gram for the return Of the battlesha,
tleet is a matter that has been discus
sed among the officials of the navy ae
partment, but As yet no decision has
been reached, and will not be for SOME
time to come" said Secretary Of the
Navy Metcalf today.
Admiral Evans Belief.
The secretary's remark was calico
out by a wireless message from the
flagship Connecticut, stating that .Ad.
miral Evans had authorized the Asso
ciated Press to say 1t is his personal
belief that the navy departments pres.
ent intention is to have the battleshlp
feet return by way of the Suez canal
next summer or fall.
Some Vessels May Come.
As the president, through Secretary
Loeb, previously had spoken to the
same effect, it eem clear hat Admi
raj Evans statement was not suggest,
ed by any definite move SO far deter
mined upon by those. supreme in au'
thority. In naval circles the opinion
prevails that at most only a squadron
composed of such vessels as the voy
age to the Pacific shall have demon
strated to be the pick of the fleet
will be sem home through the Suez
canal. while the remainder will take
the shorter route around the Horn.
Some to Remain Away.
1t is not likely, however, that all six,
teen battleships will make the return
voyage, as the desirability of a strong
er fleet in the Pacific may be met by
the retention of perhaps several OF AID
miral Evans ships in those waters
But, like Admiral Evans belief Is tc
the returning via the Suez canal, the
question of permanently reinforcing
the Pacific squadron has not progressed
beyond the discussions here and III
final determination hinges on develop
ments of the next six months.
