PART II.

The quarrel was becoming very I'M
pleasant, when along came pair Of
skates without anybody on them.
Boat ahoy! wagon ahoy! boy
ahoy!" cried the skates. Christmas
Ia coming"
Take me along to meet It, please"
asked the Man Mite. and In another
moment he was on the skates and
skating faster and easier than ever
in his life before. He passed fields
where plum buildings were growing
like pumpkins, trees where candy
bags hung like pears, and snowdrifts
which upon closer acquaintance prov
ed to be huge frosted cakes. Curious
ly enough, fields and trees and drifts
were all moving and cried out We're
going to meet Christmas"
After what seemed q long time he
met a boy. The Man Mite was al
most sure he had seen his face be-
fore, and yet he was surer still that
he hadn't, for certainly he had never
seen q boy with fur cap, fur coat,
fur boots and fur trousers! He motto
ed, too, that while the boys face was
round and chubby, his hair was white,
not merely tow-headed, like Pete Jud-
sons, but pure white.
Hello" said the stranger. Whats
your manner"
MAN Mite. What's yours?"
Santa Claus"
You cant be Sanity Claus" cried
the Man Mite. Hes man and you're
just little boy like I am"
"Ho! you're thinkin' Of my father"
answered the boy.

more astonished than ever. Have you
got q mother, too?"
Yep. Had one ever since I was
born. Amt your"
"Of course" answered the Man
Mite, ''but never heard Of Mrs. San
fy Claus"
Never heard of your mother.

Say, are you honestly Sanity Claus

Say yourself" answered the other,
doesn't your father remember when
he was little he had a Sanity Claus?
Didn't your fathers father have
Sanity CLAUSE"
IL s'pose So"
We'll, do you suppose it's the same
Sanity Claus? Somebody's got to keep
the business goin'"
And will you be the real Sanity
Clause when you grow up?' asked
the Man Mite.
"Oh, s'pose So" answered the
other. carelessly.
You s'pose so! Don't you want to
be-"
Nav; I want to be the conductor
on a dog train. Say, they made the
run this year in three months and
two days"
1t really didn't seem very fast to
the Man Mite, so he said: How far
is it,"
From Arctic Circle to Aurora Bor-
calls, OF course. We always 20 to

But you're not Americans, are

to celebrate everything, holidays and
SAINTS days and kings and queens

That's because we belong to all

MASON CITY, Ia, May 2s.-(Speclal.)-
Here is a phenomena that has produced
considerable interest in this city. John
Baker, living in the heart of the city, had
a well drilled to the depth Of forty-three
feet. Friday he lowered his pump, expect
ing to secure cold water; instead the water
pumped tested los, and despite efforts of
himself and others the temperature can not
be lowered. When pumped the water
steams and is SOFT although it must filter
through lime and sandstone. The we'll was
drilled In solid rock. On most every pail
pumped oil floats on the surface. There
are other wells in the vicinity Of this one
and all are flowing cold water.
