shoes beside it and no little skirt,
shirt and underclothes with long
tape carriers hung on its post.
What could it mean? Santa crept
nearer. The bed,was empty. On
the pillow, folded and bound with
blue ribbons, were a small dress,
the wool hood and the wee shoes
beside them, with Teddy Bear ly-
ing prone on his face, quite life
less like.
Into every corner, behind every
piece of furniture old Santa peer
ed, but his little friend was not
there. Then Santa slyly peeped
through a door that was slightly
ajar.
Before the dying CRATE fire sat
a man. Flashes from the sputter-
ing Goals now and then lit up his
face so you could readit. He was
seeing things in the changing
shapes of the fire, living over
again things that were past and
that could never come again, hun
gering for shouts and laughter
and songs that were gone forever.
And kneeling at this mans feet,
her arms and head on his knees,
her'lips pressed to little folded
stocking, was a woman.
Then old Santa Claus under
stood, and he softly closed the
door, He stood silently thinking
for a long time, scratching his old
white head to help him remember
something. Finally, he dove for
his great sack Of presents and be-

the pillow. Then he hurried up
the chimney, mounted his sleigh
and dashed away.
The fire in the CRATE went even
lower. The man in the chair doz-

a nail in the mantel piece, shook
her head, pressed the little stock
ing to her heart, and stole softly
into the, other room and paused
beside the tiny trundle bed. In
the dim light she saw.
Behold! a present from Santa
Claus, as usual! Shining out
from between the wool hood and
Teddy bear, to the Father in the
human soul, was the card bearing
these words:

TO HIGHWAYS IN STATE

House bill No. 80. by the committee on
highways and bridges. by request, came
up for final passage In the house Tues
day afternoon, upon a favorable report
from the committee on highways and
bridges.
Everything looked favorable for the
passage of the measure until Pope Of
Wasatch got the floor. The bill provided
for the construction OF a state road from
the Idaho line 10 the Arizona line. with Il
branch road In Washington county. II
also was provided that convict labor
should be employed on the road, and a
$40. 900 appropriation was made.
Mr. Pope began by saying that there
was an east and west in Utah. as we'll
as a north and south, and he contended
that the bill should be amended in such
manner that the state road commission
would not be compelled to use the con-
victs only upon a state road running
through the state from north TO south.
but could work the convicts upon any
road in the state that It chose 10 desig-
nate.
The amendment provoked considerable
discussion. but. in the end. Mr., Pops won
his point, the amendment being carried
by vote Of 22 TO Is.
Mr.. Henric then moved that the bill
be referred to a special committee OF
three TO make the necessary amendments
and report back TO the house. This mo-
ton prevailed. and the speaker appointed
Henrle. Pope and White as the committee.

ASK AUTHORITY TO
CREATE COUNTIES
Senate Bill Provides for Sub
mission of Constitutional
Amendment to Voters.

Senator James B. Wilson of Wasatch
on Tuesday introduced a Joint resolution
proposing a constitutional amendment
permitting the state legislature to fix the
boundary lines of counties and 10 make
new counties. II the resolution passes the
Legislature by a vote Of two thirds OF the

upon by the people OF the state at the
next general election.

Wilson In order TO make possible the di-
vision OF Wasatch county. or rather the
formation OF a new county out OF por-
tions OF Wasatch and Ulntah counties.
One part OF Wasatch county is separated
from the county seat by an almost i'm
passable mountain range and In the win
ter time, In order to get from one part
of the county to the other, II Is neccs-
sary TO go in long, roundabout way
through a portion OF western Colorado.
Under the proposed amendment the leg
islature may by general law provide for
the formation OF new counties and the
location Of the county seats. Every coun-
~ which shall be formed from terri =
tory taken from any other county or
counties shall be liable for Just pro-
portion Of the debts of the county or
counties from which such territory Is
taken. However. no new county shall be
formed unless by the affirmative vote OF

part OF the county or counties so dis

Five Measures Are Aimed at
UnScrupulous Collection
Agents.
INTRODUCED in SENATE
BY SMITH OF SALT LAKE
If Passed They Will Clear
DOckets of Thousands of
Actions.

Five measures designed to protect the
public from the operation of proceedings
! in Justice courts by unscrupulous collec-
tion agents were introduced in the SEN
ate Tuesday by Senator Benner X. Smith
Of Salt Lake.
One OF these bills provides that all
actions now pending in justice courts
shall be abated at the expiration of
one year from the date the act shall
become effective and all actions in JUS
tics courts not prosecuted to judgment
within one year OF the time of the COM
The plaintiff is entitled to begin suit at
any time within a year of the time the
actions are abated
This bill has for its object the clear
ing up of thousands of cases which have
been begun in the years past. but which
never have been prosecuted to judgment.
There were at one time five justices
courts thousands OF actions were be-
gun which were never pushed 10 com
pletion. As the law now stands the stat
actions and without notice a judgment
may be entered at the pleasure OF the
plaintiff.
Means Much to Public.
The bill not only clears UP this accumu-
lation of court business, but also makes
action on suits In district courts more
speedy. in that all suits in Justice courts
must be prosecuted to Judgment within
one year Of the commencement OF the
action. II also prevents collection agents
from beginning action and then waiting
several years to secure n judgment just
at a time when it is hardest for the de-
fendant 10 appear in opposition TO the
granting OF such judgment.
Another measure prevents justices OF
the peace from granting new trial
where there has been a trial by jury.
This is TO prevent a justice from add
ing needless expense by the repetition
Of a trial by jury. The bill does not
prevent an appeal from the verdict Of
the jury to the district court.
Check on Justices.
A third bill provides that any justice
who fails to enter the names Of wit
nesses in the docket in cases where
judgment has been entered by default
is guilty OF misdemeanor, 1t is
ments have been entered by default no
witnesses have been sworn. and though
the law requires justices TO enter the
names OF witnesses no penalty for fail
provided.
Another measure amends The present
law and makes the enforcement OF a
judgment in the district court five years
hundred cases. in the Murray justice
court from which appeals 10 the district
court are being received almost daily.
If the bill becomes law these judg-
year and will have no place In the
courts. In most instances. IT Is charged.
these judgments were illegally entered.
The exciting. soliciting or procuring
debts by means OF newspaper adyertIs-
ing or posters by attorneys. Is deemed
common barratry by the fifth bill. and
is punishable by a fine in any sum less
than $500 or by imprisonment in the
county jail for a term not exceeding six
months.
