TIMES SANTA
HAS BIG DAY

It was the day before Christmas,
Three children boy 8, girl 6, and a smaller boy
watched their mother. The youngest boy was frank
ly crying and tugging at his mothers skirts There
were tear stains on the little girls pale cheeks Wal
ter, the Oldest boy trying to keep the lump out
of his throat.
"Why doesn't Santa come to us, mother?" the lit
tie boy kept asking And the other two children wait
ed fer the answer.
And the pity of it was that there was no answer.
Between trying to make couple of potatoes and
bread look like Sunday dinner tit for the day
before Christmas, and cleaning up the house and the
childrens clothes, the woman tried to comfort the
little ones.
She did not dare to encourage them to hope. Ap-
parently Tacoma, big busy Tacoma, with its thou.

tables, had forgotten them

places in Easements and in upstairs rooms, back, at
the end of long streets, in neglected alleys.
But Santa S men will find them.
E Every worthy child who wrote Santa through the
Times, has been provided for, except few who did
not put on their address.
The money left over after buying presents and
clothes and food was put into orders for shoes

of progress that seems to be in the
air nowadays. Here, in the last year.
the town hall has had a new roof, an
a new boss shed has been built around
the church, an a new handle put in
the town pump, an a bridge costin'
most 5000 has been built over Plum
Crick. The town clock has been put
in repair at cost of $3.50, an
they've put three dozen new books in
the town liberty, an now they are
talkin' of offerin' a firm a bonus o
5000 to start a pickle factory In the
town. Once a lot O. selec'men git
the progressive fever, an the tax
money flies. Public speerit Is all
right, but us taxpayers has to foot the

Ottawa Pole Tax Illegal.

Ottawa, Kan.-An important decision
was made by District Judge Smart IN
the case of the city of Ottawa VS..
the Bell Telephone Company. The
city had brought suit to collect tax
from the telephone company for the
poles in the city. An ordinance re-
ouires the payment of such tax by
any company doing business in the
city without a franchise. The Bell
company has no city franchise, but
Judge Smart decided the suit against
the city on the grounds that the state
franchise places the company outside
the jurisdiction of the city ordinances
