Toms employer lived at the top
OF the hill in mansion with his

jamie and John finally decided
that Santa must have stopped at
the house on the Hill and left all

through the window, they saw a
beautiful room that looked more
like paradise than anything else.
Finding the window open, they
went in. jamie picked up a big
doll. John selected rifle. Sud-
denly a masked burglar entered.
John aimed his rifle and fired at
him. The mask fell. The burg

rany has just finished depart

The book was written by Emmett

on a vaudeville stage.
Ladell and Hughes have the
comedy end of the program, be-
ginning their ate with a German
dialect monologue, and ending
with parodies and songs. Their
wit is absolutely original. THE

drama by Sherbourne and Mont
gomery that is well acted and has
a sensational climax.

Christmas spirit was stronger
than his anger. He forgave Tom,
and the next morning the Hayes
family was surprised by a visit
from a servant from the house on
the hill. He brought a basket OF
gifts and note telling Tom to
go back to work the day after
Christmas.
Santa Claus remembered them
after all, and Christmas was q
day of joy and praisegiving.

HOME RULE BILL
PASSED MONDAY

LONDON, May 25.-The house of
commons this afternoon adopted the
Irish home rule bill, the vote stand
ing 351 to 274. This is the third time
the bill passed. Under the terms OF
the veto act it becomes law, even il
the house of lords rejects it.
The quick vote caused surprise
The crowds thronged expecting to
head a acrimonious debate. When
the commons met, Speaker Lowther
apologized to Arthur Bonar Law. the
opposition leader, for the trouble they
had last week. Law rose, accepted
the apology and demanded a third
reading and division.
The government fears disorder in
Ireland and has sent heavy police re-
Inducements to Ulster.
Today witnesses the elimination OF
Ireland's unremitting forty-year fight
for self government. Before midnight
the dreams of Butt, Davitt and Par
nell will become all but an accom-
plished fact. The house of commons
have passed for the third time in
three successive sessions. the home
rule bill in substantially the same
form as it was introduced two years
ago by Premier Asquith. The liberal
party, thinks to the operation of the
veto act which prevents the house of
lords from thwarting the will of the
people after their representatives
have thrice approved the same meas
ure, will have redeemed its pledge to
the Irish nationalists, only through
whose cooperation it has been able
to retain control of the British gov
ernment during the past eight years.
Upon the rejection of the bill by
the lords. which is taken for granted,
It will automatically become law
with the kings signature. and within
the next twelve months the new Irish
parliament will be sitting at Dublin
