Good Gosh! Here Comes Somebody

pause for further thought, he seized the bag and shot the chute into the unknown.
 He landed in coal bin nearly empty of coal, but plentifully gar nished with dust. A minute later an interior door opened from the region above, excited voices were heard, and ray of light shot into another part of the basement. The chute seemed to offer the only protection. Back into it he climbed and lay there Qui etly.
 "Oh, it's just the man with the coal" said female voice above. And the door closed again.
 Poor Henry now pondered what to do. He couldn't go up in the state he was. He had never seen any pictures of St. Nicholas represented as an Ethi- opian. Anyway, his perils were over for the moment. Were they? There was a footstep outside and into the chute came pouring bagful of mixed nut and egg. Henry had quite for gotten about the mysterious click of the gate, the coal man and all, and had no way of knowing, of course, that the holiday rush had made that coal man late.
 There was no time or way to escape or dodge. The coal, sliding merrily on its way, came with just enough force to give him 40 kinds of head ache in 10 different parts of his head, and brought along with It enough dust to finish the ethnological transformation. It also carried him back into the bin. He picked him. self up, found the corner of the bin most removed. and witnessed, as best he could in the dark. the rather un- interesting ceremony of putting in n ton of coal. He wanted to sneeze, but would not permit himself the luxury. He had to cough. but luckily timed 1t to coincide with the passage of bag full of coal down the chute. He won dered when the coalman would reach the last bagful. When he reached it.. commodating coalman carefully hooked the window, on the outside, and snapped the paddock.
 Meanwhile the fun-loving Jones fam fly anxiously awaited the return of Mir. Henry Carruthers. alias Santa Claus. Half an hour. "They must be having jolly time" Forty-five min- utes. No remarks. An hour. "Some- body run over. No. we'll all go." In the Williams household nothing unusual seemed to have happened. They were delighted to see the Joneses, of course. After five min- utes, happy idea sent Jones home to see if he had locked the door. His 1 investigation really concerned the Will l Hams house instead. The back win 1 dow was securely locked-on the out side. There was no sign of Henry in the neighborhood.
 Half an hour later Jones made a clear breast of it. Abigail herself led the rescue expedition. Henry would have preferred to see anybody else. An hour in the bathroom. and suit of Williams, and Mir Carruthers was presented. It was really a very merry party that Christmas eve, after all-al- together too merry, for Henry. Yet, had Henry only known it. sym pathy is often the awakening of love.

Incident of Show Time,

It was little Katherine's first visit to the circus and animal show. When she and her mother reached the os- trich pen the child looked with amaze ment on the big birds.
 One came nearer, perchance, to taste the locket which hung from her chain. After moments thought she said, most earnestly:
 "WLy, what's it got hat feathers stuck in it for?"

MINISTER KLEHME>T DEAD.

Berlin, Jan. 1.-Reinho1d Klehmet, who retired from the German dip lomatic service in 1911 with the title of Envoy Extraordinary and Minis ter Plenipotentiary after having serv- ed his country for several years as consul general at Athens, died here Nov. 12. Minister Helmets title to remem brance will rest chiefly on the part he took in the famous Kaiser Interview in the Daily Telegraph of London, which was passer by him for publication after the Emperor had submitted it to the then chancellor. Prince Won Buelow, for an opinion to it's advisa bility for publication. The article did not come under the eyes of Prince Won Buelow, the secre- tary of State for Foreign Affairs and other high officials owing to illness absence and other causes and finally came into the hands of Klehmet, then a promising attache in the foreign office. He saw no objection to 1t; his opinion was endorsed in turn by his superior officers before whom the interview came in its return course; and in due time the interview ap- peared. When the htorm was over the interview burst, responsibility for reading and approving 1t was traced to Klehmet, who exchanged his post in the foreign office for the consular appointment at Athens. Since his re tirement as consul general he had been the German delegate on the In- ternational Finance Commission at Athens.

ROSE SYDELL SHOW

Announcement of an impending visit from Rose SydelPs London Bellies and Johnie Weber is a theatrical event and that is the drawing card the Grand tneater, Hartford, has to offer for next week. Weber, has gained real fame as an eccentric com edian, and as the featured member of the Rose Sydell organization he has the title role in "Dink1e's Honey moon.' The com edian will be remem- bered $ an impersorator of the old German type and he is funny in his every action and utterance. Daisy Harcourt, the famous English come dienne, plays the role next to Weber. Gertrude Dudley has the prima donna part. Lesser comedy roles are ably handled by Kathleen and Chauncey lesson, James Wilson and Harry Dud- ley. The action of the play provides opportunities for two beautiful stage settings. There is an olio of high grade vaudeville acts which is one of the strongest features of the show.
