Denver S Santa Claus

Mayor Robert W. Speer of Denver, COlO has informed
his people that the city receive Christmas present
of S275ooo the gift of several public spirited citizens
This is in addition s35OoOOO which has been given
the city in the past for parks Fairgrounds and other
municipal improvements.
In recognition of the gifts the city has thus received
mayor Speer has suggested that court OF honor be
constructed, with huge marble colOnnade, 10 cost
100000. Upon this colonnade would be carved the
OF the city's benefactOTs.
Mayor Speer cropping for the right idea in desiring
do something handsome in recognition OF those who
have given large for the cys benefit but he has
not yet found it. One hundred thousand dollars can
not erect monument of gratitude lasting than
that which doubtless already exists the hearts Of
Denvers citizens Moreover, long there is human
misery waiting to be alleviated and human needs Of
other sorts to meet, to spend large of money
something absolutely useless seems a most foolish
waste OF money.
But, anyhow, Denver is most fortunate IN having
Santa Claus-several of them indeed-who delight
bestowing Christmas cheer upon their city. Many
other city would welcome like visitation.

MOTHERS CHRISTMAS GIFT.

We used TO save our pennies and our
uickels and our dimes
And we punched them all together,

Put iu something for the present that
we always gave 10 mother
Il never comes TO Christmas but

We used TO save our pennies and our
nickels and our dimes,
And the only folks I envy are the SIS

Who still have the precious privilege
OF buying for their mothers.

Why The Coal Shortage?

If man can get only 200 pounds of coal by ordering
ton, It would TO be the proper thing for him to
order five to obtain the ton or two he re-
quires-unless the companies insist upon delivering the
remainder him when their supplies more adequate
FL PsSoans wondering Why there should be coal
shortage when within a short distance Of vast
coal fields and the railroads running trains every
day The answer given by the dealers is that there
IS shortage Of production, due to lack Of sufficient
labor and that there IS also very large demand dut'
ing the present cold weather and shortage of coal cars
Tor transportation
The dealers here are sincere There IS no doubt of
that No one would be better pleased than they to
have sufficient supplies of coal hand and sell to
every consumer much coal he wants and as often
Nor is quite fair to jump at the conclusion that the
coal companies boosting the price by cutting short
the supplies The public is entitled to belief, how
ever that sufficient coal miners might be obtained by
proper effort and proper pay, and that the coal could
be moved in cars of kind coal cars were lack
ing IN sufficient numbers
Excuses however plausible cannot distract the publ;
mind from the that only short distance separates
plenty of coal from eager consumers and the tive
should be brought together. Why not ask the Texas
and New Mexico railroad commission 10 act In concert
On this matter to provide relief?

STRANGE STORY TOLD
BY PORTLAND BOY
Father TsOk Him to Cemetery
Left Him and Later
Attacked Him

Portland, Ore, Dee. 23.-Poliee de
tectives today listened TO a Christmas
story like a page from Dickens. 1t was
told by Jacob Rollheiser, age -.
The boy declared he was skeptical
about Santa Claus and didn't expect
much of a Christmas until his father,
John Rollheiser, offered TO show him
where Kris Kringle lived.
"We started out, " said Jacob, "and
rode on the cars until it got dark. Then
we walked for a long time and all of a
sudden L found we were in the middle
of a grave yard. / looked around and
Pa was gone.
Jacob blundered around the tombs un-
til he gained the street, then walked
home through the rain. There was only
one dim light burning in the house, and
when the lad crept in and stood uncer-
tainly in the darkness he received ter
rifle blow over the head-so that his
hearing was destroyed.
A woman and man. he told detec-
tives, attacked him and beat him. He is
positive that the man was his own
father. Jacob swore to a battery com
plant against the man. And the little
chap will spend his yuletide in the care
of police matron, with deafness and
bruises as his Christmas gifts.

Christmas Story
Unnerves Burglar

Los Angeles, Cal, Dec 23.--A drama

dcrful story of Bethlehem in an hour
transformed d man from burglar into
a weeping penitent reached the police
today.
Alone in her house. Mrs. Emma
Gard was making Christmas presents
when masked burglar entered, point

her to tell where her money was hid

the woman, gazing steadily at the in
truder. "This is Christmas time. /
have only $50, and am here alone, max
ing presents. Sit down and we will talk
about Christmas.
Amazed, the burglar did so and low
cred his revolver. Then came the recital
of the woman, not in fear, but in the
hope of helping the wayward man. The
sweetness of the tale he had heard at
his mothers knee, the story that never
grows old, transformed the man. Instead
l!of thief, he became again believer
in the gentle Nazarene and in fancy.

"Thank you, you We made my Christ

as he left the room.
