AZ THE THEATERs
tTvTTTV-T5''g'.TTr'rv'TTr5.T--r-

This week practically opens the head-liner acts at the two airdrome vaudeville houses. Both bills are de- manders of high prices and seldom can be a paying proposition in a city under a population of 50.OO0. Phoenix, however, is considered one of the best vaudeville towns in the southwest, re- gardless of its size, and for this reason the two arrangements have no fears but that their acts will be the means of drawing larger houses and there fore paving well for themselves. Of course. if it proves a losing proposition. the standard will have to be lowered, but it is thought that Phoenix will appreciate tho quality of shows of fered. The Coliseum drew a little the larger house last night, although the Majestic was well filled at both shows. The eighteen trained English coach dogs of Mile. Wanda at this house and the Deverne and Van musical act at the Coliseum are the best acts of the week Winifred Scott, in the Lone Lost Chief" is an act at the Coliseum which has been largely com mented on all over the country.
 Coliseum
 Deverne and Van lead the bill and deserve the first place. There are very few musical acts on the vaudeville stage worth while this season and this is one of them.
 Sherlock and Holmes handle bunch of singing. talking and dancing which is especially worth while. They will draw all during their engagement.
 Winifred Scott has to be seen to be appreciated. His Indian characteriZa- ton is true and wholesome and also entertaining. which is very seldom the case with the run of Indian single acts.
 Majestic
 Mile. Wanda and her perfectly trained English coach dogs is an act that will especially appeal to the ladies and children. The dogs represent years of training and have developed tricks not generally attributed to this species of dog. Mile. Wanda trains with a kind hand rather than with a whip and the result is noticeably ap- parent. This is a high-priced act.
 It isn't every day one can see a cartoonist at work And for this req son Jack Harrington offers an act of unusual entertainment. His technique is unusual and one wonders why he has stepped on to the vaudeville stage.

The Reason

Postum builds up the human body to 6 prime condition of health, is that when coffee is left off, the drug effects of it's poison caffeine - disappear and the ele- ments in Postum unite with the albumen of food to make gray mat ter and rebuild the deli cate nerve centers all over the body and in the brain.

IMPROVED NEWS SERVICE
The Herald Will Install New Tele-
graph Service the First of Next
Week-World-Wide In Scope.

The Herald management, always
anxious to improve the news feature
of the paper, have closed contract
whereby world wide news service
will be started in these columns next
week. The service will be through
the United Press Association, one of
the strongest news associations in the
world, with private wires and cables
and correspondents in all of the great
news centers of the world. This ar
rangement will put the Herald in
touch with the news of the world to
come over the wires as soon as it
happens. 1t is the hope of the Herald
men that this new service will give
the Herald a new interest to its many
readers for the coming year.

STRIKES OIL
While pissiga Artesian Well Near
San Antonio.

San Antonio, Texas, Dec. 22.-While
sinking the shaft of an artesian well
on the San Fernando property on the
outskirts of this city, c. A. Binkendorf
tapped a stratum carrying oil of good
quality. Owing to the lack of an oil
pump it has been impossible so far to
ascertain the volume of oil present.
Eighteen barrels were taken out with
water pump without making an i'm
preston on the height of the fluid.
More would have been taken out had
the oil, which is rather thick, not
choked the valves of the pump. An
oil pump has now been sent for.
The property is located some four
miles from the center of the city.
During the digging of number of
other artesian wells, traces of petro-
leum had been found, none of them,
however, voluminous enough to war
rant special effort. There are several
small oil wells some distance from the
San Fernando property, but none of
them have proven good investments.

The little band of women-we are
almost tempted to call them by name
who have given their time and SYM
pathy to the work of dispensing the
Christmas offerings to the needy poor
of the city, and whose hearts have
been in the work, deserve the highest
praise from all good people. The
Herald commends them and hopes
that all of their years will be years
of happiness, and may the good deeds
done today return many fold to make
them happy always. They have
earned happiness.

Out in West Texas turkey hens are
selling at $500, while gobblers refuse
to gobble in any coop or barnyard at
less than $500 and better a gobble.
The tariff had nothing to do with
this, but it is a clear illustration of
how cheap money (gold, if you
please), has become in the buying of
goods Gold was a money that the
fnanciers told us could not get cheap,
but it did get cheap, and it only goes
half as far as when Bryan wanted to
mix in a bit of silver.

Virginia o. Hanlon.

And the master mind of the Ameri-
can press of the age in which he lived,
became even as a little child" and
wrote the following reply:
Virginia: Your little friends are
wrong. They have been affected by
the sketpticism of skeptical age.
They will not believe except they see.
Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus.
He exists as certainly as love and
generosity and devotion exist, and you
know that they abound and give to
your life its highest beauty and joy
Alas, how dreary would be the world
if there were no Santa Claus! It
would be as dreary as if there were
no Virginias There would be no
child-like faith then, no poetry, no
romance to make tolerable this exist
ence We should have no enjoyment
except the sense and sight. The eter-
nal light with which childhood fills
the world would be extinguished You
might get your papa to hire men to
watch all the chimneys on Christmas
ever to. catch Santa Claus coming
down, what would that prove? No
body sees Santa Claus The most
real things in the world are those
that neither children nor men see
Nobody can conceive or imagine all
the wonders that are unseen and UNI
seeable in this world You may tear
apart the baby's RATHER and see what
makes the noise inside, there is a
veil covering the unseen world which
not the strongest that ever lived could
ever tear apart. Only faith, fancy
poetry, love and romance but push
aside that curtain and view and pic
ture the supernal beauty and glory
beyond 1t is all real? All, Virginia,
in all this world there is nothing so
real and abiding No Santa Claus!
Thank God, he lives and lives for
ever. A thousand years from now,
Virginia-nay, ten times ten thou
sand years from now-he will con
tinue to make glad the heart of child,
hood
To be sure there is a Santa Claus.
In all of these two thousand years
there has been a Santa Claus and
there will be Santa Claus as long
as goodness lives in the world. Santa
Claus is goodness. And out of the
goodness of his great heart has come
more goodness than from all the pes
simists that have lived or ever will
live Teach the children that the
spirit of Santa Claus is living, |
breathing thing, a messenger of good |
ness, and a bearer of the story of the
greatest Gift ever known to the world |
let no shadow creep in to destroy
this ideal faith in the goodness of the
world
