~ &SN When little folks are fas
asleep
And stockings all are hung:
All loaded down with pretty things
With guns and dolls and drums:
So be sure to hang your stockings
Where he'll see 'em when he comes
YOU might hear him swiftly coming,
Riding on the wintry blast;
His reindeer team a-jingling,
And their hoof beats falling fast
His furs are black with chimney SCOT
His beard is white as snow.
His sleigh is full of pretty toys,
You ought to hear him go!
HE lights upon the sleety roof
And doesn't stop a minute;
He jumps upon the chimney top,
And down he plumps within it;
He pauses on the hearthstone,
And he takes a little peep
TO see If all the curly heads
Are safe in bed asleep.
HE goes about on tiptoe,
Nor makes a bit of noise,
He fills up all the stockings
With sugar ,plums and toys;
And then he gives a little laugh,
Pops up the chimney quick,
And off he jngles on the wind,
The jolly old st. Nick.

Fights for Land Title.

Justice Gould Of the District Supreme
Court has cited Secretary Lane of the
Department of the Interior to show
cause, January 22, 1916, why a writ
of mandamus should not be issued
against him. The citation is based on
petition filed by John d. Maxey, who
claims to be entitled to a land patent
to property near Carson City, New.
Through Attorneys d. n. Clark and b.
w. Marshall the plaintiff alleges that
the decision of the Secretary declining
to issue the patent abrogates an old
and established rule of procedure in
such cases and is "arbitrary, whimsi-
cal and capricious," and that 1t is
"tantamount to a confiscation of his
property right for the use and benefit
Of the United States"

Takes Up Taft Charges.

The secretary takes up Mr.. Taft's
charges one by one. quoting literally
from the records to disprove them. He
opens with a reference to Mr.. Taft's
! Endorsement of a pamphlet by 0. Gar
field Jones attacking the administra-
ton. Mr.. Taft admitted in a recent
statement that Mr.. Jones is now a dis
credited witness" Mr.. Garrison's state
ment. in part, follows:
"Mr- Taft seeks to convey the impress
sion that he is viewing the whole mat
ter in detached spirit of patriotic in
terest in this country and in the Philip
pines. and yet we hnd him referring to
what he says was the declaration of
Gov. Gen. Harrison in the press of
Honolulu. that he took sardonic
pleasure in turning out republicans
When this SANDER was first circulated
Gov. Gen. Harrison denied that he
ever used any language conveying such
meaning.
"Civil Service Rules Observed"
with respect to the matter of civil
( service, the records of the department
show that the director of civil service
of the Philippine Islands, DR.. Falconer,
an official who was appointed under a
former administration, reports that
| Gov. Gen Harrison in his appointments
has observed the civil service rules In
letter and spirit. and the records are
all at Mr.. Taft's disposal If he wishes to
dispute this
| Upon the general question as to
whether competency has been eliminat- :
Led, the records show that the present
heads of all of the responsible bureaus
and departments have averaged as long
or longer periods of service in the
! Philippines than under any previous
administration.
Under no other administration were
so few persons taken from the United
States and placed in responsible posi-
tions in the Philippine Islands; and un-
der no other administration was less
partisanship injected.

creased to 476'
without stopping to verify these
figures, it is the fact that no implica-
tion of improper conduct on the part of
the governor general arises or should
arise from this statement. The period
covered-from October, 1913. to July
IA. 1914-is nine months. and the total
number of separations from the service
for nine months under Gov. Gen. Harri-
son was, stated by Mr.. Taft, 47S.
AT this rate the average annual rate
would be about 500.
This is just about the average an
nual rate as far back as our records
go--namely. 1903 Those records show
that during the ten years from 1903
to 1918. the beginning of the Harrison
administration, there was an average
number of American separations of 636.
The average number under Gov. Gen.
Harrison has been slightly less than

EASY WAY TO Make
HAIR ATTRACTIVE
Ladies May Add to Their Appear
ance With Little Trouble

Ladies who find trouble in properly
or attractively arranging and dressing
their hair should try using a little
Partisan Sage twice daily for a while
and note the remarkable improvement.
Partisan Sage, which can be obtained
from Wilfred F. Root or any drug
counter, makes the hair soft, lustrous,
fluffy and wavy, takes out the dull,
ifeless appearance, dissolves the dan
druff and stimulates the hair roots in
to healthy normal action. Instead of
merely sprinkling the hair, it should
be rubbed right into the scalp with the
finger tips. Partisan Sage is a de-
lightful treatment for both hair and
scalp, cannot possibly injure the hair
and is very inexpensive.

The church wedding is a very trying
occasion for the bridegroom, who is
never sure whether he put the ring in

swallowed it on the way in. When
called upon to produce it he begins a
frantic search through several pockets
which are perfectly empty. and in the

have never tried to locate 14-carat
