ave Brought Him This-and These"
Keith, after the operation, unless
well, miracles had happened and such
cases had got we'll before. So he said
nothing to the pretty young mother
who came day after day, wistful and
patient and always hopeful. Of late
she had begun to suspect that her
only boy, her stay that was to be in
her later widowhood, would never
leave the building save in a wheeled
chair But she kept her fears to her
self, and nobody had had the heart
to tell her.
And Johnny wanted a football for
his Christmas present.
Well" said DR.. Keith gruffly, why
shouldn't he have one if he wants it?
Isn't there enough money to buy a
football? Why, I'll buy him one my
self What sort should he have?
What are they made of? It's a long
time since l was a boy myself" he
added, in selfexcuse
why, they're made OF pigskin,
aren't they, doctor?" answered the
nurse. But you don't understand.
How can we let him have a football
and let his mother see him with it.,
and him lying there so helpless? 1t
would be inhuman, DOCTOR
HUM I'll take the matter under
consideration the doctor answered.
But a few minutes later he was ask
ing the head inferno, Where would
you go to buy a footban?" He pat
down the address in his memoran-
dunn book, and the inferno looked at
him in wonder, for football and Dr.
Keith seemed somehow unassociable
Well, here's the football nurse -
he said that evening. coming into the
ward. 1t was Christmas eve All

Claus had really come. but sleep was
stronger than expectation. and Nurse
Blair would see to it that no gifts
went to the sleerless. DR.. Keith held
out the paper-wrapped globe The
clerk had blown it up for him, and,
not thinking of having it debated
again, he had carried it thus for half
a dozen blocks. IF you think it best
for him not to have it. give it TO
someone else Give him Teddy

Something He Wouldn't Break.


Willie is boy who is very much
blessed with aunts and uncles These
use every opportunity to give him
presents. Last Christmas he received
SO many toys that his parents, instead
of giving him toys, told him he could
carry out one Of his cherished plans.
Actually" said his papa, you have
more things now than you can break
in year"
ooh, no, papa" said Willie with an
injured air; there's one present /
won't break"
Well, Willie, I'm glad there's one.
Which is 1.-THE cast-iron train from
Uncle Jack?"
"Oh, no." cried Willie. Il can

ingly. "A football" she reiterated.
Then he doesn't realize?"
mo, poor little fellow. Would you
give it to him, Miss Cough"
What would the mother Think"
the head nurse asked, and then Nurse
Blair ceased all pretense and dabbed
her handkerchief against her eyes
openly.
Let's ask DR.. Keith" she answered,
and that solved the difficulty for the
time being.
Johnny Ward was eight years old
and had been in the hospital for
snearly five weeks, ever since he was
knocked down by the bakers wagon
while playing upon the street almost
in front of the hospital entrance. He
was quite helpless below the waist,
and would always be so, said DR..

The vessels collided during a Sc
ries of night maneuvers three miles
north Of Heligoland The torpedo boat

were picked up.
Night maneuyers were on and the
torpedo boat and also the Yorck were
operating without lights. The cruz

in single file, full speed, and the s
17S attempted to cross the line. The
commanding officer miscalculated the
distance and run under the bows of
the Yorck. That vessel, unable to

BAR TO OFFICE SEEKERS
NEW PRESIDENT DECLINES TO
SEE APPLICANTS.
Puts Disposal Of Patronage Up to the
Heads Of Executive Departments
Skaters Preeedents.

Washington, D. C.-All sorts Of
things happened to time-honored prec-
edents around the White House when
its new occupent, in his first day of
"presidenting," waded into work.
Moreover, Secretary Tumulty shat
tered few aged customs himself:
Following are a few of the prece-
dents President Wilson smashed for
the day:
Issued statement announcing that
he would put disposal Of patronage
squarely up to the heads of the vari-
Gus executive departments.
Issued a statement in the first per-
son, explaining why William f. Nc
Coombs was not named as cabinet
member.
Held a meeting of his new cabinet
before it was officially confirmed.
Received a delegation of 100 per-
sons from New York state who didn't
have any appointment with him.
Sat in his office with the door to
Tunlulty's office open, SO that when a
score of New Jersey politicians had
finished talking with the secretary,
they wandered into the presidents
room unannounced and were received
warmly.
Allowed a dozen newspaper pho
tographers free run Of the outer Of.
fees, where they snapped photographs
Of the presidents callers. They also
swarmed into Tumulty's office and
took photographs of him at work.
There was virtually no red tape"
at the executive offices. The usual
White House form for official state
ments, where the information is con
veyed in the third person, was fol
lowed in the first statement, but a
little later the unprecedented plan of
the president making a personal, first
person announcement, was adopted.
The president and Tumulty also an
nounced that they were working out
a plan by which the executive would
see the newspaper men at regular pc
RODS and by which Wilson would per-
nit direct quotations of his views.

Baltimore, Md-Three hundred
tons of dynamite being loaded in the
British tramp steamer Alum Chine, in
the lower harbor off Fort Howard, ex-
ploded, instantly killing from 40 to so
men, wounding and manning three
score more, some of whom may die,
and destroyed 100000 worth of
property.
The Alum Chine and loading
scow alongside here we're annihilated;
the tug Atlantic, which twice went to
the rescue Of imperilled seamen, was
set on fire and later sank; the United
States collier Jason, just completed
and ready for trial, was raked to her
deck and her armor riddled, and
buildings in Baltimore and cities and
towns many miles away were rocked
by the force of the terrific explosion.
The cause Of the disaster is UNI
known, and federal authorities have
instituted an investigation. Excited
survivors told conflicting stories,
some insisting that negro stevedore
caused the explosion by tanning a
spike in case of dynamite This
is deniedby eye-witnesses, who de-
clare smoke was seen pouring from
the Alum Chimes hold several min
utes before the explosion occurred.

William Z. Van Dyke of Baltimore,

One ship Escaped.

Instantly there was a rush to the
ships side. Fourteen members OF
the crew and steyedores tumbled
pellmell into the launch Jerome,
which a moment before had brought
two flremen aboard the Inflated ship.
All the other members of the crew
and stevedores who could reach the
deck leaped for the decks of the At
lantic. The tug and launch, cutting
hawsers, were sped away from the
scene of the impending catastrophe,
the Jerome picking up speed first and
rushing to safety.
Death in dreadful form had de-
scended from the sky. The Alum
Chine had been torn into shreds, and
boxes of dynamite and timber filed
the air, These fell on the packed
decks of the Atlantic, the dynamite
exploding as it fell and sweeping
them as shrapnel levels charging
troops.
Mems heads and limbs were torn
from their bodies. Blood was every.
where. Dismembered bodies were
flung across and tumbled about the
Atlantics decks.

bunkers of the Alum Chine is mys.
