About Town.

There are some people who would teach children that there is no such thing as Santa Claus, and yetthe United States govern ment or rather Uncle Sam, the most particular person in the whole country, acknowledges his existence. An order has recent ly been issued that letters mail ed and addressed to Santa Claus, must be delivered by the post master, to some person in the community who is acting as his agent. Under this order The News P. O. box this week con- tained the following letter, mail ed at Emmet, and addressed to Santa Claus, Prescott Ark" Dear Santa Claus,
 Please bring me a big doll four feet high, a doll carriage, a toy piano, a little stove, and a set of dishes, a tub and wash board and some chocolate candy, some ap- ples, oranges, and nuts of all kind.

 This morning, covered wagon, containing all kinds of household goods, a man his wife, and nine children, stopped in front of the Hesterly Drug Store, and the head of the family, pushing aside a red bandana from over his mouth, inquired of Wiley Dixon Hatley, who was looking down the street, if he could give him the directions to the depot.
 ''Er, yes yes," replied Dixon, just across the street there, sir. Would you like for me to conduct you over?"
 Oh, no" replied the man, who appeared to have come from about 33 miles below Camden, T believe I can find it now. I've been in town before, and I am not able to pay you soc for your trouble. You town fellows do charge outrageous for just few minutes work. Yes, thank you, 1 see it now. Good bye"

There's so much duplicity in the
world today among all classes that it's
really good to meet a sincere, honest
person, one whose friendship you know
is true, and who will not say one thing
to your face and something else when
you are not listening.
And yet there are scores of people
who do not scruple in the least to say
pleasant things about you while you
are present, but who would tear you to
shreds with their tongues the
your back was turned.
Il had a mighty pleasant surprise to-
day." a girl friend confided in me this
morning. 81 was wearing a brand new
suit and hat for the first time, and if
you promise not to tell, I'll tell you
what happened
l promised, and this is what 1 learned:

met Nellie B at the station. She
was going to New York, so we occupied.
the same seat in the train, and it was
not long before we were engaged in

not the least bit pretty, or even good
looking, SO you may imagine my sur

sincere tones that she Thought my new
suit was lovely and that l looked pref
tier than she ever saw me look before.
Why, she was profuse in her compile
ments, and while l don't take much
stock In flattery, l was pleased with
her opinion, because l know h was
sincere. I'm not pretty, but she thought
l was. and she was honest enough to
say so. Now, that's the kind of a
girl l like, dom your
l felt obliged to confess my admira-
ton for Nellie, for l, too, realized that
there are very few generous enough to
tell us the nice things they know
about us.
They never spare us If they are in
possession Of anything unpleasant con-
corning us, though.
They are always ready to say the
mean things. it seems.
It's just as easy to cultivate the
habit of saying something pleasant as
something disagreeable if we only make
up our minds to do it. We not only
make better impressions on those
around us. but we feel better for 1t
ourselves.
It's well worth the trial.

They all ordered sweets.

I was lunching in a restaurant in one
of the local department stores the other
day-and l did not order ice cream or
eclairs or cream puffs, by the way.
About as many men as women were
present. so 1 thought I'd make a few
observations.
Almost every man ordered pie or a
sweet pudding or ice cream, even
though he ate a little substantial food
at first, but not more than half of the
women ordered dessert at all.
The next time you are eating in a
public place just make a few notes and
see for yourself.
Nine men out of ten like nice, sweet
desserts to follow their meals. and they
kick strenuously if they do not get what
they want. Nearly every wife in the
country will vouch for this.
dNly the other day a woman said to
me, lin nearly distracted trying to
think up new desserts for John. He
doesn't care at all about the rest of
his meal; would just as soon have roast
beef every night in the week, but he
does like a variety of puddings and
cakes and pies, and I fairly haunt the
cook books searching for new and I'M
tried dainties."

A DESCRIPTION OF ONE
OF THE SEASONS COATS.

Could one call 1t a novelty coat or some
thing genuinely dashlng? 1t is easily de-
scribed and you may judge for yourself.
The coat was a three-quarter length, fash
Toned with a double front which opened
oil the left side. This gave a plain panel
effect with two sharp bretelle-like points
on the wide shoulders. Two rippled ruff
files extended well over the shoulders, the
lower ones reaching half way down the
long sleeves. Not a button was visible.
The coat hung with straight lines from
the shoulders and the stand-up, lay-down
collar fitted snugly to the throat. The ma
terial was a very light biscuit-colored
broadcloth. and here comes the jaunty
feature Of this pretty affair. The trim
ming on the front panel effect-down the
sides, around the points, half circled un-
der the chin. decorated the front OF the
coat, while the collar and cuffs showed
the diagonal cloth of bright red, tan and
black the same as the rest of the trim
ming. The hat was a lark brown, trimmed
with countless loops of braid, which ex-
actly matched the coat. Neat? 1T was
handsome. You can easily imagine the tan
shoes and gloves which matched the coat
and hat.

TN Sweet tooth.

Most men take great delight in talk
ing about the sweet tooth of women.
They aver that we do not know
enough to eat a square meal when we
need 1t, but have a way of trying to
satisfy our hunger with unlimited
cream puffs, chocolate cellars, candy
and ice cream.
And then they like to dilate upon the
sensible way in which they choose their
midday lunches-"roast beef and po-
tatoes and coffee" and the like.
I'VE display a little common sense"
you a heal them say, whenever the
subject is introduced. but they will say
SO no more, at least to me.
