window by attaching six fiatirons. On
the sill he adjusted large triangular

and made ready a small balloon, capa-

genious Frenchman then put his head
out Of the window after attaching the
balloon to his neck and by releasing
the clamp that held the window cut his
head off completely with ithe impro-

was discovered several days later. but
it was not until the balloon and the
head were found week later in the
field OF peasant, eighteen miles from
Paris, that the method OF suicide was
really known"

old maps that show the state of Lou

was then called New France. on the

south and from Virginia and Carolina
on the east to the Pacific on the west.
These maps were printed In Italy and
Holland and France and were evident

they depict mountain ranges where
none exists and lakes and rivers dis

The midnight bells were ringing
Santa Claus was driving post haste
through the streets. There were
many people passing to and fro, but
no one saw him Large feathery
snowflakes obscured his sleigh, and

let out the check-reins and took away

bits in their places. He put sugar
and apples into the hangers. and he
gave a double quantity of apples to
the locked horses, at the same time
saying: Poor creatures, I'm going

Then, jumping into his sleigh, he
drove TO another part of the city,
where he found lame and sick horses.
Taking of his fur mittens he rubbed
the, poor animals stir AID aching legs

5iffy he mended all the loose blind
ers he could find. In an old tumble

snivering with the cold. Quick as a
flash Santa Claus put a blanket on
the half-frozen animal, gave it a bun

the holes II the shed.

from place to place he threw a blan-
