THE LOST SANTA "A

Last night at the "IIour 81 the

last little tousled head had been lifted

So it's only natural that he should
be q bit feeble and absent minded. If
you had labored as long and as pa

They live in layers, thousands Of
families to the square mile, and even
the floors of the .tenements are d.

And as for chimneys, they don't
make many real ones any more-just

1ltie New Year has all that he can
do to squeeze through.
So you can imagine how easy Il Is

RASH ON FACE FOR 2 YEARS

Sioux Falls, s. D.-"My trouble Of
skin disease started merely as a rash
on my face and neck, but it grew and
kept getting wors until large scabs
would form, tester and break. This
was Just OF the one side Of my face,
but 1t 500 scattered to the other
side. I suffered a great deal, especial
" at night, on account Of its itching
and burning. I would scratch it and
Of course that irritated it very much.
This rash was on my face for about
two years, sometimes breaking out
lots worse and forming larger sores.
It kept me from sleeping day OF night
for a couple of months. My face look

ashamed to be seer by my friends.

Just then a tall colored man, ris-

Ono Story Of MIR. Towers Entrance
Into Diplomatic Service.
From the Rnnkman

Some attention has been called to the
personality of Mr.. Charlemagne Tower;
though, in a general way, few people
seem to know very much about him.
Mr.. Tower may perhaps most accurate
ly be described as a sort of Philadel-
phian Fairbanks. He is tall and thin
and rather good looking, Utterly devoid
OF any sense of humor, and quite UNI
easy In the presence of those. whom
he thinks disposed to see the humorous
side of things. He is a very wealthy
man. a graduate of Exeter and Har-
ward, and Is interested In a number Of
large manufacturing and mining inter-
ests. He once wrote a book on "Lafay-
cite in the American Revolution"
which was published In 1895. He was.
however, quite unknown to the public
at large at the time when President
Mckinley too office in 1897. Many per
sons were anxious to have Mr.. Andrew
ID. White made ambassador to Ger
many. Mr.. White had already been a
Minister at the German court from 1879
to 1881. He had held other diplomatic
appointments. He was a mar Of ripe
scholarship. He was in every way fitted
for the post. When an influential friend
approached President Mckinley on the
subject, he president said: mo, no,
I'm sorry, but the German embassy has
been given out to Penrose.' meaning by
this that the appointment had peer as
iBIeu " 'oeHdlOr BOISE PenrOSe OF Penn
sylvania, as a perquisite for some one
Of his influential followers. Mr.. Whites
friends h went to Senator Penrose.
Yes" said Mr.. Penrose. White would
be a good man, but I've promised the
place to Charlemagne Tower" After
some further questioning 1t came out
that Mr.. Tower wished for the embassy
to Berlin because 1t would give him a
very conspicuous social place and would
enable him to make a spectacular dis
play of his great wealth. But Mr..
Whites friends were nothing II no dip
lomatic. oh" said they. IF he is
after social prestige he ought to take
the Austrian mission, for the court of
Austria is the most artistocratic one in
Europe. Berlin is only a mushroom af-
fair beside 1t. Vienna is the only place
where you can find people with Ia quar-
terings." rs that so?" asked Mr.. Pen
rose. much surprised. We'll. well. I
never knew about that. Just LET me-
look into the matter a bit" A few DAYS
later word was received by Mr.. Whife,s
friends that Mr.. Tower would take the
Austrian embassy, and that Mr.. WHITE
could go to Berlin after all,
