It was a week before Christmas and

the crowd of shoppers that surged In and

Thorne & Bromley and hurried to the ex-

mr.. Thorne positively can't see any

Do you remember the Christmas tnat
Santa Claus was very late? You may
not have known the reason for this so
I viii tell you. He really started OUT
very early that year 80 that all might
have their presents on Christmas Day
The first place he stopped was on the
roof of large house, and taking a
big PACK from his sleigh disappeared
down the chimney. But no sooner WaS
he out of sight than the queerSst little
creatures appeared. They came from
behind the blinds and jumped to the
roof, from under the caves and out OF
the water spout. They had en- green
Jackets and red hoods drawn tightly
around their little round faces, and
their iegs and pointed feet were covered
with red leggings; they were Ghe COB
Inns IN winter dress.
They looked through the bags in
Santa's sleigh and one said: MOT q
thing for U.S."
There wasn't last year or year be-
fore that" said another.
Wen have something this year"
said one goblin, hopping on the horns
sleigh and help ourselves"
They scrambled into the sleigh, on
the backs of the reindeer, and on to
their horns. and with their pointed
shoes they poked them, and off they
went like the wind, into the valley,
over the mountains and then into the
woods to the house where the COLLINS
held their meetings.
The COLLINS jumped to the ground
and fastened the head reindeer to q
tree, and then you should have seen
them unload that sleigh. Books flew In
one direction and dolls in another, I'M
til the ground was strewn with tops,
balls, baby carts and all sorts of toys.
When they came to the oranges and
candy they called out: Here are the
good things" and away they scamp
cred into the house and put them on
the table, which they soon filed with
all the nice things that Santa had for
the children.
By and by the COLLINS who were m

CHRISTMAS EVE.
BY ROBERT BRIDGES.

London, Dec. ga poem en-
titled Christmas Eve" by Rob-
ert Bridges, Great Britain's poet
laureate appears in the Times
today by their majesties' express
desire. The poem Is in four verses
and has the subtitle PAX
Hominibus Bonae Voluntatis."
The first two verses read:
"A frosty Christmas eve. when
stars were shining, ...
Fared / forth alone, where
westward falls the hill,
And from many a village In
the watre'd valley.
Distant music reached me,
peals of bells a-ringing;
The consolidated sounds ran
sprinkling on earth's floor.
AS the dark vault above with
stars was spangled Ger.
Then sped my thought to
keep that first Christmas
OF all,
When the shepherds, watch
ing by their folds ere the
dawn,
Heard music in the fields ana,
marveling, could not tell
Whether 1t were angles or
the bright stars singing"
The poem is cast In the form
adopted by the first recorded
predecessor of the laureate in
1919 namely Germanic rhythm,
based upon ALTERATION and a
central pause. the most familiar
illustration of which is in THE
Vision Of Piers Plowman."

PrussIa,a minister Of public worl

Prussia's minister of public works
expresses himself as in favor of the
proposed identification of the Berlin
city belt and suburban railways. The
traffic has doubled on these lines with
in the last 20 years and steam traction
Is no longer adequate to handle the
traffic. Electric drive would give prac-
tically double the number Of trains
each hour, besides giving all the ad-
vantages Of the electric system. The
Prussian parliament recently voted q
credit OF $5.000.000 for carrying on pre-
paratory work on this important
scheme.

THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT.
From Exchanges.

fFOIn hNCHdlBSSs
Everybody likes Christmas
because everybody is sentiment
tai and feels at liberty to show
1t on the 25th of December,
without the probability of being
laughed at. Remove that fear
OF ridicule permanently, and a
sentimental, brotherly loving
race would evolve; and one
way to effect that would be to
increase the number of Christ
masses in year, beginning
with one extra. and increasing
to 365. BY that time the spirit
of the day would be a habit,
ridiculous gift giving would
have died OF sheer inability to
keep up, and any objections of
q seemingly practical nature
could be argued out of existence
by any practical person with a
working knowledge of meta
physics.

REBELS CONTEND THAT REAL
BATTLE WAS FOUGHT AT
GOMEZ PALAcIo.
GOVERNMENT is CONFIDENT
More Detailed Information Leads to
Conviction that the Battle of Tor
reon Will be a Battle to the Death
Between the >FoHces.

Jaurez, Mex, March 31-Fighting
continues at Torreon, according to in
formation given by rebel officers at
Jaurez today. M details were re-
lceiyed. Rebel leaders contend that
the main battle for supremacy was
fought last week at Gomez Palacio
where soldiers of both sides fell by
hundreds in the desperate conflict.
Losses at Gomez Palacio were SO
heavy, it was said, that neither side
was now capable Of repeating so de.
termined a battle. In Torreon the
fighting is said to be from building to
building without any open charges or
concentrated assaults.
Gomez Palacio was taken by storm
after three sanguInary assaults, ac-
cording to the brief reports thus. far
received. A report that reached Jau-
rez last night when some correspond
ents arrived from the front Indicated
that the federals might have Griven
VILLAS army back in confusion if they
had known how to follow up their ad-
vantage. ~
More detailed information has given
rise to growing conviction here that
the battle OF Torreon will be bat
tie to death. Villa, it is pointed out,
thoroughly understands the hazard of
any withdrawal toward Chihuahua,
which would subject his forces to at
tack from the rear by federals.
yelasco is in a bad plight. He
would have to cross an uninhabited
desert, devoid of natural defense, TO
reach suecor. Once driven from Tor.
reon the balance of Huerta's troops
would be subject to whatever meas
ure OF slaughter Villa chose to mete
out to them.
1t is generally believed here that
the weeks fighting has left the reb-
els better provisioned than the Fed
erals, who have had no outside source
|of4rehabilitating their stock of pro-
visio.
