Santa GlauH Js
BY ELDoN PATTERSON

Tust as truly as love is, Santa Claus ia.
- Santa Claus is a personiRed senti-
ment he Is a reality.
We speak and learn and teach OF a God
whom the world has never seen except in
Christ Jesus, yet His existence is manifest
In everything. lie is a reality.
santa Claus need not exist in physical
form to be oomprehensible-his spirit is
endowed and deyolved upon millions Of
willing personifiers who in the spirit in
which old Santa himself would shower
blessings, shower them for him.
IL isn't lie TO tell the children Santa is
coming; it isn't even a white" lie
Santa Claus IS comingi
He may be the father. mother, brother or
a stranger but the sentiment Of Santa
Claus is upon him. He IS Santa Claus.
Heis the expression Of that which other.
wise would indeed be myth or cease 10
exist: He is the action Of a word-old
thought: He is the physical component
Of Love, Charity and Pity.
Santa Claus is Love made tangible.
He IS not one, but many, and il takes all
the flesh and blood Santa Clauses of all the
world combined to make the one big Santa
Claus whom the children know and wor-
ship and whom we symbolic in great furs
the wondrous figure whose great kindly
face with It's never waning smile invites the
confidence Of the universe.
Santa Claus Is.
His visible form is generosity and kind
ness.
You can see him giving the nevsboy a
quarter for penny paper.
You can see him, Sorooge-lite though it
may seem, helping here and there;
Or and this is nobler than all the rest,
you can see him sharing his last tiny mite
with another. while tears Of pity and hap
piness mingle in the bright smile the
token gives.
Every household in its own way knows
its Santa Claus.
Don't deceive the children by telling them
there is no such person.
Santa Claus is, and may he always be.

The National government is
seriously considering taking over
the telephone and telegraph sys-

done on an equitable basis, at a
fair valuation, it would be the
proper thing. Private corpora

lue christmas nOllQayS.
This demand always exceeds the nor
NAL demand for new coins, and the
treasury has heretofore not always
been in position to meet fully each
request. The recent satisfactory re-
suits from the washing OF currency
has given the treasury department an
idea for meeting the demand for
shiny Christmas money. twenty-five
thousand dollars in halves, quarters,
dimes, nickels and pennies is to be
washed and polished by the mint bu-
reau of the treasury department, so
that all who wish can have their
shiny Christmas money. Most OF the
old coins which are to be renovated
will be sent to the Philadelphia mint
from the United States treasury
vaults. whence they will be supplied
to the banks calling for them.
Just what folks do with all this new
coin at Christmas time is a mystery
to the treasury officials. OF course
much of the smaller coins. bright,
new and shiny, are used for Christ
mas-tree decorations. but the major
share OF 1t, It is surmised. is just
spent.

SLAUGHTER ON
RAILROADS.

Another flightful accident OIL The
New York, New Haven and Hartford
Il. r., following aSucccssion Of such
horrors on the same road, has boon
one of the chief themes of CONVERSE
lion among newspaper readers dur-
ing. the past twenty-four hours. Over
twenty persons were killed outright
and about fifty injured.
The main facts in connection with
this latest horror were given in yes
tcrday'S Gazette.
The accident occurred six miles
north of New Haven shortly before
seven o'clock yesterday morning.
The first section Of the White
Mountain Express, bound for New
York, speeding along at probably 10
miles an hour in a thick fog, rushed
by danger signal, it is said, and
crashed into the rear of the second
section of the Bar IIa1-bor Express,
standing 100 feet beyond The signal
block.
The White Mountain engine cleavcd
through the two rear Pullman cars,
both of wood, and tossing their wreck

man beings, some alive, some dead, on
either side of the track.
The third car, also of wood, ans!
occupied by 40 boys on their way
from summer camp in Monmouth,
Me-, was lifted into the air and almost
completely off the track. The car
fell on its side. crumplcd up, crushed
two of the boys to death. and injured
several others.
Among the killed was William

during most of August ranging from
/ 70 to rs. This was conlmentec upon
Yin the Atlantic City papers as some
thing unusual.
Sundays were closed days for the
sale of all kinds of spurious liquors,
and we believe the ordinance to this
effect was honestly enacted. But this
did not initiate against the number
OF visitors pouring into the city. In
fact we can testify to the excellent
behavior of ten crowds gathering here
tally and to the happiness and pleas
urc expressed in the countenances OF
all coming from north, and south,
east and west, for their individual
and well earned seasons of recreation
and enjoyment, which they receive
in their fulness in this place whose re-
nown has gone forth into all coun-
tries.
Alcxandrians know well the attrac-
tivcness of this fsr-famad pleasure
esort, and many familiar faces were
seen from the old town, whose ex-
preston of Joy, with hearty hand
clasps &ddcd thereto revealed the
fact that this was a good place for
friends to meet each other.

THE FIRST TWO REEL
 CHAMPION.

The Champion brand of pictur- es, released by the Universal Go. attains the dignity of two reels on Tuesday, Feb. II, at the Gem. The release of that day is called A Protege of Uncle Sam" This picture is built around life and incidents in the United States Navy. When the greatest Amer ican fleet ever assembled toge- ther was recently in the Hudson River, the Champion director took advantage of the circum- stance, and the result is many of the scenes in this two reel Cham pion are actually made on United States warships. Ocean life is popular with every audience, an
 when, in addition to this aspect of the picture, you add drama and incident, the exhibitor is justified in looking for in this two reel Champion release, some thing exciting, interesting, and above all things, fascinating. The life of the sea is fascinating to everybody-man, woman and child. Advt.

Little Rock, Feb. 10.-T h e news coming from Washington that Senator W. NJ.

 Should this be done, the build ing would be torn away and the postofice extended north, oc- cupying the entire block. To the north would be the old state house, to the west, occupying another block, the county court house, and another block west the city hall and the Central fire station. About these buildings it is planned that the Civic Cen ter shall radiate.

A TALK ON INDIAN
 RUNNER DUCKS

In recent letter 1 discussed the poultry industry. I neg lected to say that if all the eggs produced in Arkansas in one year were loaded in refrigerator cars 40 foot long, containing 400 cases of 30 dozen each, they would make a solid train 134 miles long. This is some eggs" isn't it? The result of one years work by the humble hens. But the hen does not lay all the eggs.
 Practically no attention is paid to the duck as an egg producer, because the duck egg is strong and not palatable. Now there is a duck egg that is palatable and Is not strong. In fact when' served on the table it cannot be distinguished from the hen egg. 1t is the egg of the Indian Run ner Duck. This is a species of duck new in our state, but very profitable. The Indian Runner Duck is beautiful bird, very fine in flavor when cooked and served on the table, and the eggs are white, of good flavor, and much larger than the hen egg.
 The Indian Runner Duck is healthy, thrifty and a producer. They will from 150 to POO eggs a year and unlike the other ducks do not quit laying in the spring. The eggs being larger, they are worth more on the market, and besides there is always a de- mand for the eggs at a dollar dozen or more for settings. The ducks are worth more than hens on the market, and usually bring from a dollar to three dol lars for breeding purposes. They require but little more water than chickens and are great hustlers for a living. They are troubled but little with lice or mites and are healthy and easy to raise. They should be on ev- cry farm in the state and 1 hope our farmers will get a start on them and begin to raise them. They are profitable. They are raised and for sale in Magnolia Pine Bluff and other places.
 By consulting the advertising columns of any poultry or agri- cultural paper you may learn where to get the ducks or the eggs. Do not wait, but get start now. You will never re- gret it.
