ing the life OF David Smith, a negro
drayman in the employ of the Green
vile Livery Co., happened here on
Tuesday Of last week. The negro
had just loaded his wagon with
freight from the Seaboard depot and
had started across the tracks. A
freight train was on the main line
ana coming up from the South Ga.
crossing at the rate Of about twelve
miles an hour. This the negro could
not see because the depot, together
with several box cars hid it from
him. Apparently the negro did not
hear the tain nor the yells Ot those
who were trying to warn him of his
danger, anyway, he did not take any
heed, for in the course Of few sec
onds those who were standing nearby
saw his wagon with him in it)
knocked about twenty feet to the
left Of the engine. The load OF goods
was scattered over the ground. The
negro escaped with a few slight
bruises; the horse was not hurt at

badly.

PLAYING AT SANTA CLAUS
How $50 Children of Dayton Ohio Found Present Bear
 ing St. Nicholas
BY CHARLOTTE REEVE coNovEA.

This Christmas season of 1909 sees the twentieth anniversary of a remarkable individual effort toward helpfulness and happiness. On the day after Chris tmas. 1889. Miss Sallie Stutsman of Dayton, O., had her attention called through per sonal investigation to the barrenness of some homes during this season. Resolv- ing that in the future no child of pow erty in her neighborhood, or in the city at large, should be left unwarrned by the Christmas spirit, she has bent her energies all these years to playing Santa Claus with such effect that her work has become one of the permanent agencies for happiness in the community.
 Mss Stutsman's plan has two things to recommend it. secrecy and simps:cfty. Of the hundreds of children whom she has made happy, not one ever suspected the name of the giver. She began by send ing not only useful but distinctly attrso- tive presents to few children in her neighborhood. using her own not unlim- ited means Then the demands grew, as she found the unspeakable happiness produced by 50 little outlay, and she longed to do more. Seeing how care lessiy rich children treat their toys and how frequently they are replaced by new ones, 1t occurred to her to beg for these playthinss and make them do duty a second time. To ask was to have. and offerings poured in from all sides. Dolls with no heads, heads with no bodies, wagons on three wheels. tables which had lost leg, fire engines with the paint nicked off. old balls and battledores. ten his raoquets unstrung, roller skates with a wheel gone, toy pianos with broken strings-svertyhing WAS grist to Mss Etutsmans mill. She enlisted the willing services of . schoolboy with mechanical cleverness, who gave his saturcays, and together they glued and painted. whitfield and tacked by the hour. supplying the lack of everything from missing legs

Gables or dolls) to missing wheels (watch or automobile). They erased marking in books, supplied lost parts to games, and painted faces for rag dolls. In course of time the one boy became a dozen. and the rooms in Miss Stutsman's house where they worked looked like a Nuremberg Kinder-Spielen Fabrik One room held the doll-dressers with their gay pieces who worked steadily, kept up by their hostess enthusiasm and her hot lunch served at noon.
 Everyone who saw wanted to help and offers fin increasing numbers poured In as the years grew; offers of money. of mechanical skill, of toys, new and old. Miss Stutsman accepted all but never once asked Her friends carriages were kept busy Christmas eve rom I o'clock until Il delivering packages.
 Care Is taken to find out who the chill dren are, what their ages and what they want Miss Stutsman's aiders and abet- tors are the school teachers. the dis trict nurses. the policemen and the Wom- ems Christian association ward work CTS. They know the children, even the poor who will have some kind of Christ mas celebration, and they know the chill dren who will have none. And these arc the ones Miss 6tutsnnan is after.
 In 1892 50 children were given treat at an outlay of e. Each child had a half pound of pure candy, an orange, a bag of peanuts and some toy appropriate to his age If boy loved to read, he got book: if he was "orasy for roller skates" he found them in his stocking; If girl had never had . doll. there 1t was with clothes that would como off and go on doll which became in itself lesson in tidiness since hands must be kept clean to handle so gorgeous a be- ing.
 In 1892 Miss stutsman had sz7 in cash

and enough toys to make Christmas TOT 127 children. Although done SO qu,eiy, news of her work spread among her friends, who began to put down her claim as among the frst when the spirit began to work. One sent a cheek, another of- fered a carriage for delivering. some came to do duty for weeks dressing dolls in the workroon,s, and others spent long, laborious evenings helping verify lists and tie packages. Many of these were high school boys and girls who came ou, of school hours putting in their scanty leisure under her direction. One girl Il years old dressed 8 dozen dolls.
 After the holidays heads of department stores offered her toys al cost price, which were put away until the next sea son. One merchant regularly instructs his clerks to lay aside all remnants of sash ribbons and lace for the annual doll dressing. ~s
 paper firm gives orders. When Miss stutsmsn comes give her anything she asks for, which means paper and twine for hundreds of packages The box fac tory sends candy boxes according to her estimate over the telephone. Her last re- quest. for 100. was honored with Thank you for the privilege of contributing
 Now the work lasts the year round. MISS Stutsman SLOWS away pafBaihs uur- ing January sales, orders dolls in June, buys silk remnants in August ana dresses the pretty badies all through September, October and November. when It is learned that twenty-five dozen dolls were ordered last summer for this Christmas of 1909. it may be surmised that the work of clothing them must take many weeks. The dolls are always dresssd in light clothes, white if possible. with gay rib bons and lace. A doll in Gingham is never sont to one of Miss Stutsman's children 1t is the gingham side of life that Is theirs, the silk side that they want.
 If Miss Etutsman stands as the un- known benefactor, she does not lack testi- mony of the joy her work has brought into empty little lives. From doctors, visiting nurses policemen and teachers come stories of the transformation upon the faces of little children who hold the first toy all their own. Truant boys have been reformed by book; fever patients have gone quietly to sleep with . dolly held close; a crippled boy spent radiant days with set of pyrcsrAphy tools; an
