the faces around him grew more in

SO the old man stopped, and no one
noticed how much went into the hat
that the salesman silently passed
around, and no one spoke save IN mon
osyllables, for the Christmas spirit
had ut last entered the office Of the
big factory.
1t was ten o'clock by the clock in
the Office and old Thaddeus was on
his knees scrubbing the concrete
floor, grooming as he did so an old
darby melody. Just then the door
opened and the telephone girl bundled
into mans overcoat, came in on the
arm of the new salesman.
"You're parson, honor bright,
aren't you?" the man asked. "Well,
here's the license. We had little
talk after your sermon, Uncle Thud-
deus, and here we are. Can you
marry us right away?" And there in
the outer Office beside the switch
board the little telephone girl was
married to the new salesman. After
it was over and the blessing had been
pronounced the old man smiled and
said:
"1ll tell you now. This is the sec
ond marryin' these OF hands has
blessed tonight. Mr.. Cashier and the
managers secretary, they got here
ahead Of you all. They said it was
the little sermon did it, too"
Thaddeus was almost ready to leave
tile Office, his work done, when the
door opened with q rush. Tt was the
manager, out Of breath and excited.
II was afraid I'd miss you, UNCLE"
he said, with smile that was us gen.
ial as Thaddeus' own. "But I have n
little something to tell you. I've been

Il Visit From,
ST. Nicholas"

w 1HAT is the best known poem in
w lhe world? Not Gray's gle
gy," nor 1.-THE Song Of the
Shirt" nor "I'hc Raven" but "The
Night Before. Christmas" The author
is not so well known as his poem.
One recent Christmas the name Of
Clement Clarke Moore was honored as
never before. Above his grave in the
chapel of Holy Trinity cemetery, New
York, the choir boys sang carols on the
night before Christmas, and service
of light was held. This beautiful cere-
monial starts with a procession of
tOrchbearers whose torches are kindled
from the leaders flame, and as the line
winds through the graveyard the fire
is passed back from one to another un-
I'll the lights grow in number and dis
pei the surrounding darkness.
The father of Clement Clarke Moore
was once the bishop of New York.
''The Night Before Christmas" was
published originally without the au-
thor's knowledge in the Troy Sentinel
two days before Christmas, 1923.
Moore had written it the preceding
Christmas just for the delight of his
own children, but its circulation slip
ped beyond the family circle, and an
unknown friend sent it for publication.
The Sentinel readers paid no attention
to 1t, and it passed without comment
until seven years later, when the same
paper reprinted it. The second recep-
ton was very different from the first.
"A Visit From St. Nicholas" as it was
then entitled, was copied broadcast,
and its author awoke to find his work,
IL not himself, famous.
Although Clement Clarke Moore was
educated for the ministry, he never
took orders. For the greater part Of
his life he was identified with the New

Clement Moore's family life had many
sorrows. His wife died at the early
age of thirty-five, and the two little
daughters, for whom he wrote 1.-THE
Night Before Christmas" both died in
their childhood. Els son and name

is buried in the family plot.
When "The Night Before Christmas"
was first published in the Troy Senti-
mel the editor wrote:

The telephone operator leaned back
In her chair by the switchboard. In
small mirror fastened at the top Of
the board she regarded her own pert
countenance and languidly dabbed a
bit more powder on her nose with the
large wool puff she had in her hand.
She was almost always armed with
this munition. Out of the corner Of
her eye she saw Tom Brewster, the
one-time Office boy who had made good
IN the road, and had been back from
q long trip but day. Tom had once
made her consent to wed him, but now
her little head had been turned by the

"Where the deuce is Miss Bland?"

Miss Bland was the private secretary.

GRAIN MARKET

CHICAGO, OctT 2.-Corn bulged in value today after an early show of weakness. Reports from Texas had absorbed all offerings of new corn gave impetus to the upward swing. Prices closed firm. $ to 11sc net bigher at 1.193S December and 1.16ss May. Oats gained F to 1c. and pro- visions 10 to 25c.
 Heavy selling. which took place at the outset in corn, was ascribed to increasing assurance that the bulk of the crop had escaped danger from frost, especially as no unreasonable low temperatures seemed possible during the next few days. Scantiness of present supplies. however, acted as a check. and there was decided veering away from the bear side after midday.
 Unfavorable weather and smallness of country offerings gave independent strength to oats. The rise in pro- visions was due chiefly to announce ment of big reduction in stocks of meats at western packing centers. Exclusive of St. Louis. the decrease for September was 64,000,0O0 pounds

Coal Miners Are
 Granted Raises
 by the Operators
(By Review Leased wire.)

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-Coal opera tors and miners of the central compet- itive field, meeting here to discuss a readjustment of wage scales, reached a full agreement tonight as to the amount of increases to be given. They will discuss further tomorrow the length of time the new contract wili run.
 Pick and machine miners, who de- manded fifteen cents ton increase in pay will get ten cents, and unskilled labor, which sought wage raise of S19O a day will get $1.50 Yardage and dead work will be paid for on a basis of straight twenty per cent in. crease.
 The wage increase were granted by the operators contingent on the ab- sorption in higher coal prices, which they expect the fuel administration to give them on presentation next week of their cost of production figures.
 The miners are seeking a contract Cor two years but the operators insist on a provision for it's termination sixty days after the end of the war Provis- ion will be inserted in the contract to prevent either side from breaking it for any cause.
 Coal mine wages scales throughout the country are based on the central field scale and if today's agreement is ratified wages will be raised according ly in other districts.
 Operators of the central field are asking the fuel administration for an increase of about fifty cents a ton for coal over the prices recently set by President Wilson. Many mines. they insist. will be forced 10 shut down un- less prices are revised. Already Dr. Garfield. the fuel administrator. has granted increases in outlying districts where the cost of operation is high.

Theodore Roosevelt tonight issued denial of a statement attributed to him by the Frankfurter Zeitung which, according to a dispatch from Amsterdam, quoting his as having ex- pressed approval of German plan to colonize a state in southern Braazil, in a conversation with the German ambassador while he was president in 1903 Colonel Roosevelt's statement follows:
 "The statement is not correct. I said that l believed the Germans would be as admiral immigrants in Brazil as shown to be in the United States, but that, of course, Germany must no more try to establish any control over her immigrants in Brazil than she had in the United States

Roosevelt Said to H0Ue AdUised
 German COIOny
(By Review Leased Wire)

AMSTERDAM, Oct. 2-In connec- tion with Theodore Roosevelt's recent speeches at luncheon in Chicago in which he related for the first time the details of secret conferences ir 1902 between himself and the German ambassador in connection with Ger many's proposed occupation of Vene- .Zuela, the Frankfurter Zeitung pub fishes what it asserts is the German foreign office record of a converse tion on the South American situation of February IS, 1903, between Presi- dent Roosevelt and the late Baron Speck von Sternberg, the German am- bassador
 nI this conversation President Roosevelt is quoted as having said he though the best guarantee for the amelioration of South American con ditions would be the establishment Of a German state in southern Brazil.
 Colonel Roosevelt in his luncheon speech at Chicago said that in 1902 when Germany proposed a tempo rary" occupation of Venezuela he sent for the German ambassador and told him that that Venezuelan business has been going on long enough and cannot afford to let it get to the point where it will cause trouble" He ask ed the ambassador what Germany meant by temporary possession and the ambassador replied that he did not feel at liberty to discuss such an important question. He delivered the following ultimatum:
 "Tell. your government that in 10 days it must arbitrate the matter or will send Dewey down there"
 The eGrman ambassador. according to Colonel Roosevelt, said he could not send such a message and he did not think the president knew what it would mean.
 President Roosevelt said that if it meant war Germany had chosen the one spot where she could not fight the United States. The president then ordered Admiral Dewey to be ready to sail in an hours notice.
 The ambassador again visited the president a week later and said he had not dared send the message and the president told him that he had ordered Dewey to sail within AS hours. The ambassador said this would be an awful thing for the United States, but President Roosevelt retorted that it would be more awful for Germany. Within 36 hours the ambassador again returned to the president and inform ed him that Germany would arbitrate.
