u. S. SANTA CLAUS
FOR WAR CHILDREN
Mrs. Hammond and Other
Women Plan Fund Here
for Christmas Gifts.

Christmas presents for a million
children in Europe are to be provided
by the clubwomen of America, accord
ing TO the plans Of Mrs. John Hays
Hammond aud other women, announced
yesterday.
Mrs. Hammond was the first TO re-
member that Santa Claus would prob
ably be frightened away from Western
Europe by the sound Of guns. The lit
tie children. whose fathers were in tho
army and whose mothers were strug-
Cling against starvation, could not hope
for any Christmas cheer at all unless
it were sent to them from across the
water.
A check for $25 from ten-year-old
Natalie Hammond started the War Chill
dren's Christmas Fund yesterday,
Headquarters will be opened to-day in
the Offices Of "The American Club
woman's Magazine" 80 West seth st.
Mrs. Eva Mcdonald Valesh, editor of
the magazine, said yesterday that the
women expected to raise $2500O0. This
would provide Christmas boxes for a
million children.
The boxes will be sent in equal NUM-
bcrs 10 every onc Of the warning cOun
tries, especially Germany, Mrs. Nalcsh
insisted. The boxes will contain toys,
candies aud pennies, which the child
can spend. Mrs. Hammond, who Is still
at her summer home, III Gloucester,
Mass, has sent out letter to the club
womcn asking them, wherever ii is pos
siblc, to make their contributions III
the form of money instead OF toys, AS
the committee can purchase toys to bet
ter advantage at wholesale.
No war toys will be accepted. Tin
soldiers, swords, drums and military
suits will be returned to the glycrs If
they arc sent TO the committee. Neither
will old broken toys b6 accepted.
Letters have been sent to ten thou
sand clergymen asking them to an
nouncc the children's fund on Peace
Sunday, October 4, and also to encour-
"A. e their Sunday schools to raise money
for the fund.
OraLgc, \. j., has the honor OF being
the first i'll the field TO obtain actual
money. A group Of high school girls,
headed by Miss Jean Smith, went about
the village yesterday, clad all in white,
with red Christmas saShes bearing the

VERDPS 'TRAVIATA'
WITH DRY EYES
A DecOrOuS Camille at
the Century Opera
House.

Ncrdi's "Trayiata" is an opera which
in its performance ought to make an
audience look to its tears-like Bully
bottoms Thisbe. A performance which
leaves the lachrymal ducts dry can
scarcely be called successful, no mat
ter how pretty the stage pictures or
low painstakingly the notes are sung;
for tears must be relied on to wash
away all the moral grOSsness OF the
heroine. That grossness once appeared
so awful to the English conscience that
the directors of Exeter Hall re-
fused TO permit Ecrdi's airs to
be sung in English, while toI-,
Grating them in Italian. and the Lord
chamberlain put his tabn on a prose
translation Uf ala Dame aux Came
las" Of which "Traviata' Is the lyric
version. In time it WAS recognized
that music Was. both d palliative and
an cmolliCnt, and Camille done INTO
tunes was. not only tolerated, but adj"
mircd and even loved. But fearless
"Trayia ta" ought 10 be as 1nconcelN.
able AS an unlachrymOsc camille
even if the melting mood be evoked by
the sheer beauty Of the singing instead
of sympathy with the sorrows OF the
Young woman whom the Italian llbret-
list would have Us believe Is the mis-
led one" The Century company last
night gave US so fearless perform
ancc that there was not even provo
cation TO think about the questions
raised by the English translation,
though those who we're familiar with
the Italian text may have felt mo-
mentary pity for Verdi while hearing
the English Germont pcrc utter Never
never" where the composer had eN'
pressively and impTessiyely declalmed
"PidRgC. DidBgc" That, however, may
be overlooked in view Of the comforting
fact that Miss Lois Ewell was so iclly
decorous as Yioletta Valerie that she
left the cheeks of her observers as
virtuously pallid as her own. She was
SO completely occupied in singing the
music that she gave the audience no
occasion 10 inquire into the quality "
VioIetta's improperly Like Mr.. King
stou (Alfrcd) and Mr. Chalmers Ger
mont. senior, she presented her part
without creating for moment the TO
mantle illusion which makes "Iravi-
alta" tolerable as play and sensuously
rayishing az a musical entertainment
Highly creditable in some respects, the
performance was, though 1t served 10
emphasize the fact that the present
vocal art is better adapted to the hot
blooded music of to-day than to that OF
a periOd when many operas were only
concerts in costume. To the credit OF
the sing9fs named and the English
translator, Mr.. r. K. Elkin, let 1t be
mentioned that as a rule the words
were Ineligible.

Won distinction in Three Wars.

Gen. John B. S. Todd, a soldier OF
three wars and governor of Dakota
territory, was born 100 years ago
in Lexington, KY. In his youth he
removed with his parents to Illinois.
He graduated from West Point in 1887
and for five years thereafter was ac
lively engaged in the Florida war.
During the war with Mexico he distin.
guished himself in the siege of Vera
Cruz and at the battle of Cerro Gordo.
Subsequently he took part in the Sioux
expedition in the Northwest. For a
short period in the early part of the
Civil war he commanded a division of
the Army of the Tennessee. After
quitting the army he served as Da-
kota delegate in congress and was gov
ernor of the territory from 1869 to
1871. General Todd died at Yankton

The Same Thino.

Secretary Garrison, apropos of his
bill for creating six vice-admirals, said
at luncheon in Washington:
This bill will make things better
from diplomatic standpoint, though
the actual working of the navy will
remain the same. Yes, the navy itself
will be like Brown.
Brown, idled through slack times,
started to tramp to Buffalo by way of
the Erie canal to look for job.
He met on his way good many
canal boats coming up and down, and
finally, stopped canal boat captain,
he offered to work his passage.
THE captain took him on and set
him to leading the horses along the
towpath.
He led the horses for two days,
thinking hard. On the third day he
had thought it all out, and he resigned.
By the powers he said, L might
as we'll walk as work my passage ?"

Long time ago, in the camps of the
Indians who lived in the wooded noun
tains, there was long dispute about
the 'possum. 1t was all about why he
was such fellow for lying down, curl
ing up into ball, and pretending to
be dead.
Some of the old people told the
story of how the cricket-barber was
once sent by the rabbit to cut off all
the hairs from the 'possum's tail be-
fore he came to big dance, and that
made the 'possum so ashamed of him
self that he lay down and hid his head
under his front paws and would not
say word for so long time that all
the other animals thought he was
dead.
But some other old people, who said
that they spoke true, used to tell
different story, and this is it:
In the settlement where they lived,
the rabbit and the 'possum were called
good-for-nothing fellows-they were
always playing jokes and running
away when there was any real work
to do.
One by one, the animals in that set
tlement got married and began to raise
up nice families All but the rabbit
and the 'possum, and no one would
take them!
"How shall we get wives?" asked
the 'possum, and he sat down in front
of the rabbits door, down in the
broom grass by the edge Of the river,
and put his hand under his chin to
think. And in little while the rab-
bit knocked the ashes out of his pipe,
put it in a crack over the door, and
went over to sit down close to the
'possum.
Il have plan-iisten to mel" said
the rabbit. Tomorrow you and l will
get up early, take some lunch, and go
to the next settlement. Over there
they have heard of me as the messen-
ger of the council, and l will tell them
that / bring an order from the coun-
cil-for everybody to get married right
away-and while everybody is getting
married, you and l will get a wife,
too"
Good" said the 'possum. Then 1
must go home at once and get to sleep
SO we can get an early start

WINTER QUARTERS FOR FISH
Splendid Fishing May Be Enjoyed by
Cutting Hole Through Ice, With
Bonfire Built Near It,

Winter is the time of the year when
the inland fish are living under cover
that is not of their own choice or max
ing. No doubt they think that nature
Is keeping them n prison, and grum-
BILE accordingly, if a fish with its
mouth full of water can grumble.
These finny friends of the fresh water
physical science to be aware C the
fact that the icy coverings that block
out much Of the sunlight from their
homes serve also to shield them rom
the cold of winter. In ponds and rivers
where there are -re many fish the
water under the ice seems to get close
for them, just as the cir gets close in
a room filled with people II hout
proper ventilation. So if somo heavy
skater breaks a hole in the ice the
chances are that before he has ccram-
bled out of the water a crowd of eX
cited fish will be C1 the ground-or,
rather, in the water-about tie hole
and will pop their noses out eagerly
for a gulp of fresh air Then is the
time that they may be dipped up in
nets with ease. 1 have seen them
dipped out in pals from some of the
Michigan lakes. One of the best ways
to catch the big fellows is to build a
bonfire on the ice at night, then cut
hole In the ice not far from the fire
and set lantern beside it. If you
have dry goods box large enough to
