Santa Claus. With a bound old Santa
was on a cloud. bowling low before the
queen and kissing her hand.
Then he gathered a dozen or more
fairies in his arm and Rugged them
as great bear would hug it's cubs.
He laughed so loudly and so merrily
that the icebergs began to melt.
"Now," he cried joyously, 'show me
what you have made for my hosts
Of earth children. You know this time
Of year brings me millions of letters,
and must hurry to my postoffice and
run through my mail"
After looking at the Christmas toys
Santa Claus said he was more than
pleased. Then, giving his order for
10000 bags full Of the beautiful things,
he told the queen that he must go.
But before l CO." he said, 81 must

Small Town Near BeIIingham Shoots
Up Desperadoes.
Bellingham.-In a pitched battle at
Sedro-Woolley, small town south Of
Bellingham, participated in by 500 c1ti-
zens and two desperadoes, who had
held up and robbed a saloon, one of
the highwaymen was riddled with bull
let's and will die, while the other,
after a desperate hand-to-hand en-
counter, surrendered
AS soon as they found out they were
suspected, the highwaymen, followed
by a posse, ran to the outskirts of
the town, where they barricaded
themselves behind logs at the foot of
an embankment and opened fire on
their pursuers.
Rifles, shotguns and sticks Of dyna-
mite were used with which to dis
lodge the men. After Foote had been
shot into Inconsistencies and blinded
by exploding dynamite, his pal, James,
used up his remaining ammunition
and then surrendered.

ARMED MEN GUARD DAM
Auburn Ranchers Fear that Dam Nav
be DESTROYED,

Seattle.-Armed watchmen were de.
tailed to the Stuck River dam, near
Auburn, with instructions first to warn
away and then shoot at any strangers
who might loiter or act in any sus-
picious manner about the dam.
Certain residents of the Puyallup
Valley, it is known, growing restive
under food conditions, and with the
Stuck River adding volumes of water
to the ordinary river flood, have
threatened to destroy the dam, thus
releasing the waters into the White
River Valley and away from the
Puyallup territory.
The obstruction that diverts the
waters of the Stuck, near Auburn. was
constructed by King County several
years ago,
This has inflicted some damage
upon the Puyallup territory, which is
in Pierce County.

know what a busy man he is, never
having q moment to spare this time
Of year."
So spoke the queen Of cloud fairies
to her many subjects.
Now, maybe you children do not
know that these cloud fairies live up
at the north pole in the clouds that
are always full of snow. But always
having lived there they never feel the
cold and enjoy frolic each morning
on the great icebergs, to which they
come down in sleighs drawn by rein
deer. Cloud fairies, so it is said. make
all the Christmas gifts Santa Claus
gives to the little ones each Christmas
eve.
The season had been a busy one for
the cloud fairies, for they had done
their best to make up games and de-
sign toys that they might have many
nice new ones for Santa Claus. He
was to visit them any minute, the rea-
son the queen had for begging her
subjects to hurry with the work in
hand.

tapping his wings as he sat on the
point Of a stray starlet that had got
tangled in the clouds.
Just as the fairies ceased speaking
there came through the frosty air the
sound Of sleighbells and the footing Of
bugle.
