HAVE COMPLETED THE
.SURFAClNG OF STATE PARK

The work of giving the State Park,
in front of the penitentiary, a dressing
of soil preliminary to putting in a
lawn, has been completed, the last load
of dirt for that purpose having been
hauled today.
Few people realize the magnitude of
the task II has been. or the outlay in
money 1t would have entailed II the
work had been done at private ex-
pense. 1t has been necessary to cover
the entire park, containing five acres
or more, with a coating OF soil from
six to ten inches deep, in order to as
sure the growth Of trees, shrubbery
and grass. and to do that has required
an immense amount of material, as
well as labor.
the work has been done by prison la
Dor without cost to the people of Canon
City. The dirt. required for surfacing
was hauled from the penitentiary
property, a mile or SO beyond Soda
Point, by the convicts, and has been
a big undertaking. How many thous-
ands of loads of earth have been
It Is impossible to state, as no
record has been kept, but the number
has been a very large one.
1t may be OF interest to some people
to know that most Of the area between
the prison and the river was at one
time a marsh which has been filled in
with broken rock and rubble from the
limestone Quarries along the eastern
slope Of the Hogback. 1t is destined
In the not remote future to become one
OF the prettiest public parks in south
ern Colorado.

 Lottle nodded her head, but did not dare to open her mouth for fenr of the terrible weapon. 'I belong to that class of people what's got to live by their wits or ght-of-hand," the man con tinusd.

 Lottie sat bolt upright now, for she was fully awake, and realized that burglar was in her room. But she had no idea Of screaming for help she knew that would be the wrong thing to do. So she sat very quiet, watching the man as he opened the drawers and closets, looking for valuables. As he stopped to examine the contents of little oaken chest in the room he struck his foot against ono of the boxes that was pa cked and labeled to be sent to the poor family down by the river the following day.

As soon as Santa was once more safe from the terrible airship and had his precious toys snugly packed away for the journey he ran to Puggin-Fastfoot. em- bracing him lovingly, saying: Now. my dear trusted Puggin-Fastfoot, now did you know I was In distress? And how in the air did you get here so quicklyT We've been following you, great and good master" said the old reindeer we all felt that some accident maybe fatal to you, at least fatal to the toys, and therefore the children-might befall you In that hideous thing you call modern airship. So we begged the stable hands to hitch us to the trusty sleigh, and we followed you within nn hour after your departure And we've made about as good time as did your airshlp. sir"
 For few minutes sanIa was too much overcome to speak. Then, embracing each reindeer in turn and thanking him for his loyalty to so dlsloyal a master, he said: Never again shall I forsake the old and tried friends for the new. Now, my boys, off we go to earth, as has been our custom for To. these many hun dreds of years. Aud not minute shall we lose, for you are in better condition today than I have ever seen you. So long as I live to reign over Christmas Time just so long shall you be my trusty carriers and faithful friends. And now

 And the reindeer. knowing that hut for their timely appearance at the North Pole terrible tragedy would have hap pened, shook their antlcrs and swept over the frozen earth like an arrow in its flight.

 The other 10 reindeer nodded their heads approyingy, saying that since it was Santa Claus wish to ''lay them on the shelf" they would retire from active life without Q murmur, wishing all suc- cess to him-their beloved master--in this new mode of travel. But though they did not condemn Santa for his having taken up with so strange a thing as an "Airshlp," their hearts were heavy, in- deed. No more real excitems mt of travel for them. No more would they rattle the bells on their harness AS they fairly flew through the air in obedience to their mas ter's reins. An, it was sad, pitiful outlook for the old and trusted reindeer of Santa Claus stable. They had been his companions for so many, many. many countless years that to be put aside now for T notwithstanding machine-yes, a MACHINE, thing without n heartl-was a most heartrending thing.
 The following morning, after the nir- ship news had reached the reindeer, the door leading into their comfortable stable was opened and in walked Santa Claus His eyes were full of tenderness yes. even tears of love glstened in them-=as he patted each beloved reindeer on the face and spoke in caressing tones to him. "Ah, dear, dear old servants" he said. his voice shaken with emotion.

Then, if you think the little girl could make use of some of the frocks you have outgrown, we'll make up nice box of them for her.
 "Oh, that's just the thing to do." cried Lottie. Let's go to my playroom at once and make nice selection of toys for those children. I'm so glad, mamma, that you always bought certain number of boys toys for me, for now I'll have a nice assortment to give to little Sammy. When you were buying them for my nursery your thought was to have them there for my little boy friends to play with when visiting me. But now they are going to do q better service than thnt of entertaining well-to-do little boys, who have toys and to spare in their own homes"
 And so the greater part of the evening was spent by Lottie and her mother in making a selection of pretty and useful toys and garments to fill two good sized boxes to be sent on the following day to Sammy and Lena Small top floor of a rickety old tcnement-house on the banks of dark. evil-looking river filled with warehouses, boathouses and teneinent-

BY MAUD WALKER.

Lottie Andrews was an only child, but she was not what that fact might imply In most cases. She was not a spoiled child. She was sweet-tempered, gen erous, affectionate little miss, 12 years of age, possessing as sunny a disposition as one could wish to find In any little girl. Her home was a comfortable one, where happiness reigned. Her papa and mamma were her chums, as well as being h. separable comrades to each other. Thus you will see that the Andrews home was an ideal one.
 During the preparatory days that ush- cred in the Christmastide Lottie, her mamma and papa were very busy making plans for the poor, arranging that the hearts of many little ones might be made glad with a gay Christmas morning-little ones who, but for the generosity of the Andrews family, would doubtless spend m uneventful day. Lottie had helped with the buying of all the toys and pretty warm garments that had been sent In baskets and boxes to the homes of many poor families. And when, on the last day preceding Christmas Eve, Lottie dis covered another poor family, where two little children lived, two little ones whose holiday season held no promise for them, she ran home to her mother, saying:
 Mamma, it's too late Anow to get into the shops to make many purchases, but we just must fix up a nlce box for two little children that l came across today while going down to our dressmakers They were standing In front of a shop window looking so longingly at n few cheap toys displayed there. I stopped and talked to them minute. asking them their names and what they expected Santa Claus would bring to them on Christmas. The little girl, not quite so old as I, said: oh, we're so poor that Santa Claus never come to our house. He can't find 1t, 1 guess, for there's no fireplace big enough for him to come down through. You see, we have just little stove, and it's always so smokey that if he tried coming down the stove pipe he'd stran- gle. We never get anything from Santa Claus Then l got the little ones to take me to their home which is just two rooms at the top of one of those dread ful tenement-houses down by the river. l didn't go up, for l knew you would not want me to do so unless you were along with. me. but got the number and street, as well as learning the floor on which they lived. Their name Is Small-Sammy and Lena Small-and their old grand mother keeps house for them, and they said they didn't know what their father works at. but that he sleeps mostly dur ing the day and goes out at night"
 Yes, dearie, you did perfectly right in not going up in one of those tenement houses," said Mrs. Andrews, for one never can tell what sort of persons might be there. And you did right in taking pity on the two little ones, and in being so thoughtful as to get their names and address. We'll fix up box and have John deliver 1t there on the night of Christmas Eve. But, let me see, haven't we old toys and playthings enough about the house to fill a good-slzed box? You know the closet in your playroom Is filled
