The Old Age of Santa Claus.

In Anna Farquhar's "Convictions"
In The National Magazine. she says:
"Santa Claus totters under his pack,
wearing long. old face these days.
Probably In his youth he had no idea
of growing old or departing this life +;
therefore when his enthusiasm and
joyousness began to wane unaccount-
ably, he must have opined that the
world was tottering-not his own gen.
erous throne of life. Nowadays he
creeps down the chimney stealthily as
If somewhat ashamed of his mission,
like polar burglar and his eight tiny
reindeer make small clatter on the
lawn, for many of their JOY bells have
been lost. When Santa lays a finger
aside of his nose reflectively in our
times, he exclaims, without a bit of
Jolly shake below the waist: 'Degen-
crates Degenerates! Has my world
come to such a pass that people wish
to pay me for my presents? Can it
be that little children are so surfeited
with toys that they stop to ask how
much they cost before accepting them.
There was little Willie. last year, who
said to his mamma, when he first saw
a beautiful woolly dog. WHATS 1t got
inside? Candy or money? Don't want
a dog Mess it's got somethin' IN

The Christmas Season.

Though Christmas seems to gain
rather than lose in popular favor as

day or "HalIow eve" October 81. and
continued until Candlemas day. Feb
ruary 2. In England it is now COM
puted only from Christmas eve to
"Twelfth night" January 6, while In
our own country 1t begins on Christ
mas eve and practically ends on
Christmas night. Yet even now IT reai-
ly begins on Erecember 10 marked 10

WHEN CHRISTIANS WAS YOUNG
To Understand Mysteries Of the Ynls.
tide, It Is Necessary to Scare.
Ancient History.

! SN r N the midst of the rush and
ssSAa y ] excitement of Christmas
I sSElSz6 preparations certain ques-
ENlEf.Y tons will flash across the
mind, and we find ourselves
wondering why it is that we do the
very same things Christmas after
Christmas. Why do we hang stock
ings light Christmas trees, trim our
homes and have plum pudding?
To understand the origin of these
customs we must wander far back
INTO the forgotten past-ages before
julius Caesar set foot on British soil
or ST. Augustine told the story of the
cross to the men of Kent Hundreds
OF years ago--long before the year
The ancients, as we call the people
OF those times, all worshiped the sun,
the great giver of light and life. In
the month of March they built big
hres to it, asking it to shine upon the
seeds they had planted and warm
them into life. In the autumn they
held another festival, thanking the
sun for the harvest, and again. in the
winter time. they held the greatest
FESTIVAL Of all to celebrate the coming
OF the springtime.
In ancient Egypt. in Assyria. in
Greece, on Roman soil and in the
northlands these festivals were cele-
brated year after year and always
about the same time, the winter one
being held about New Years time.
Wherever the Roman eagle was
found. this feast was called the Sat
urnalia and it was marked by univer-
sal license and good feeling.
All at once Christianity appeared
upon the scene. AS the policy of the
early church was to reconcile heather
converts to the new faith by adopting
some of the heather customs and fes
tivals, the new religion accepted and
retained many, and the result, as is
easily seen. has been the strange
medley of pagan and Christian rites
which we use at Christmas time to-
day.
After Britain was Christianized by
the Romans, the Saxons and northern
tribes came, bringing their old north
ern rites. and as Christianity at last
replaced paganism the Christians kept
the old pagan rites, merely changing
their meaning.
For many years no two lands cele-
brated the same day as the birthday
of Christ They did not know the
exact day, and we do not know it;
but this date has now become the
most important one in the worlds
history.

DIR, Royal S. Copeland, Health Com
missioner, yesterday announced that
$4,000 tons OF anthracite and bitumi~
nous coal were shipped into the citv
last week. lie also said that If M
city cou.d get along for few wooEs
without difficulty the possible crisis
caused by the coal shortage would be-
aVcrted. 0e
Il have received report from,
Joseph Lonergan. chief inspector Of
the Health Department. said Dr. Cone
land, that a tremendous ouantjtv Of
coal was brought into this CITY Inst
week. He reported that about 5000
carloads of anthracite and about coon
carloads car of bituminous coal arrived.
Each one of these cars contained fortv-
tive tons.
"The coal being brought in here now
IS at the regular price and is carried
IN such cars as are given over bv the
interstate Commerce Commission"
Dr. Copeland received a communica-
ton from the Greater New York Tax-
payers ASS oclatlon saying its members
needed 7,271 tons of coal, but that thev
had on hand only S35 tons. The Health

Health Department is arranging TO
supply only such coal as immediately
needed.

Several Heard in RecigaIs
Michel CusikoT, Violinist, and
Iohn Nuinc. Tennr. Annear

Variety f not enormous talent
marked yesterdays events in the con
cert world. In the afternoon at Car
negic Hall Michel GusikoN gave a
violin recital. He is romantic player
with small but ingratiatng tone
His technic is of an inconspicuous
variety, adequate but not brilliant His
program was ambitious, for it included
two conceltos, one by Vivaldi~Nachez
the other by d'Ambroslo, and Schu-
mann's arrangement of a sonata by
Bach, No. 2, in B minor. lIs playing
was conventional rather than interest
ing or spectacular
At the same time in Aeolian Hall
John Quine, tenor, was singing. His
voice is not a phenomenal organ, but
ne sings inteligently and with skill
except for a slight uncertainty in IN
tonation. Perhaps his best work of
the afternoon was done in the French
group. which included songs by Week
erlin, Hahn, Frank and Thome. The
Four Serious Songs, by Brahms, ap-
pcared little above his grasp.
In the evening at the same hall Miss
Cecil Cowles gave an amateurish piano
recital

This is week of old favortos at

a funny studio farce by Thomas Gray,
entitled "The New Director" The sue
cess Of these small sisters on the
speaking stage has been phenomenal,
their burlesquing and illustrations Of
emotional registration never failing to
captivate the audience The act has
sufficient humor and drama to reveal
the abundant talent of the LITTLE pair
Adelaide and Hughes remain for a
second week with their dancing act
Hughes has succeeded George White
as the best dancer on the vaudeville
stage. He does bewildering set of
measures with easy grace. His part
ner, rather stockily built for the bal
let nevertheless does "Pizaccati'
with pleasing agility.

piano. Dugan and Raymond scored

Saws His Way Out of Prison
Auburn Convict Captured After
Few Hours Liberty

AUBURN, N. Y, Oct. 27--Raymond
j. Sampson, n convict in Auburn prison,
escaped to-day, but his liberty was
81 lcrt- lived.
Sampson was sentenced to not less
than twenty years for murder, second
degree, committed in Clinton County
in 1915. He has been the prison dem
tist for several years with the
privilege of sleeping in his laboratory.
For some time evidently, he had
planned the escape, which was effected
by saving a hole through the roof
of the laboratory, then through parti-
tions in the dispensary, then into the
attic and finally to the roof, from which
he let himself down to the top of the
forty foot wall by means of a rope
made from accumulated bandages. He
answered the 6 o'clock roll call and
was missing at $50.
Prison officers saw him about to
board New York Central train and
captured him.
