sacred ane awful. But one with a sense of the fitness of things and tact enough to occupy any position of inn portance refrains from being jocular about such a matter.
 There is something serious. some- thing awful about the position in which New York city finds itself. Any levFty concerning it on the part of the leader of the police will pene- trate all departments. A Police Com missioner is probably familiar with evil in the same way physicians are accustomed to sickness. But the phy- sician who treats serious case light ly has little honor in his profession. His attitude is often reflected in the care which the special nurse may give to the case.
 The Chief ain't so excited about these robberies," would be a not un- founded remark from the patrolman on the beat. were he to read what Commissioner Enright has said. The remark was in bad taste to say noth- ing of it's more serious aspect
 There is another phase to the quot cd comment. Commissioner Enright refers to gunmen's girls" He rec ognizes in a light. frivolous manner that class of unfortunate women who arc devoted to gunmen-some of them with the love given to Dickens Bill Sykes" by Nancy"
 Some may say that Enright is practical. up-to-date and recognizes things as they are.
 Rather be it said that the remark attributed to him is gross and iH-ad- vised.

"JEsT RUMIN .,TIN'."
(Robert Russell.)

The house was burnin' des- perate: the family had forgot that in the burnin' ruins was the cat-but one had not. He fumed an fretted in the light C. that ol' blazin' place: in all tho great confusion he recalled a whiskercd face. For he an that ol' feline had been pals for many days: he understood her feelin's an she sort O liked his ways. Perhaps he was a little rough. but she knew all hts jokes; her ribs were sometimes sore a bit from his jest playful pokes. X feelin' O great sym pathy possessed his loyal heart; he licked his chops. this honest part. He wagged his tail: he made a rush while men stood thero afraid; but pretty soon both he an cat appeared-both undismayed. They both were badly scorched, O course. but what's the harm in that-the heart O that big dog had made him save his pal. the cat. It's jest a tale O animals. but in it lies the seed O what we all. at Christmas time. stand in especial need.

Santa Claus Land. North Pole, Dec 22.-Oh. I just wish Santa Claus wasn't going 10 make a trip down all the chimneys of New Britain this year 1 have had such a lot of fun today Slaying with all the hundreds of queer toys and things, that I hate to see them taken away from me. But Santa says he's going to load them all in his airplane the night before Christmas and take them on the long trip through he clouds. So I guess I'll tell you what's coming for the little boys and girls to play with. Some lucky little child is going to get a fire engine that runs all by itself. You just wind it up and away it goes. It's got two ladders on it and some little pails to carry water in. And it's painted bright red. just like the. big, real fire engines.
 Bear Scares Me.

PRACTICAL MUSIC.

 The subject is large but one can at least mention the practical aspect of music-and that it has a practical value has been proven over and over again. There are organizations in this city whose sole interest is music. One wishes there were more. The good they do inspires these suggestions.

KINDNESS.

There is nothing especially note- worthy in the story of the dog who saved the forgotten cat from a burn ing house. Dogs Have performed sim- liar feats many times. They have saved the lives of men and women. They have protected deserted children. The loyalty of the dog is proverbial.
 There is, however. something note worthy in the prominence given to the incident by editors and make up" men of newspapers. The story has been placed in the most prominent places on the first page. Boxes have been used to bring it to tho notice of readers.
 There is but one explanation. Edi- tors and newspaper men themselves arc interested in this sort of a ''hu- man interest story, and they, cater ing to their readers. know that such readers will be interested. too.
 Interested in what? Interested in anything that savers of kindness even in a dog. Or interested in it be- cause of the dogs evidence of q kind instinct.
 The significance lies in the fact that | 1t is plain most men and women are | touched by such examples of kindli. ness in unexpected places. A recent
 story in widely-read magazine was | intensely interesting just because oi this fact. Kindness and loyalty were
 shown where least to be expected. It is believed that if all men and women were less apt to hide their ! feelings, not only would applause for l kindness and sentiment appear more | often. but tho acts of kindness and 1 those prompted by sentiment would be more frequent.

mems efficiency, aids their conception of what they owe the world.
 How much more benefit will the man be to the world who, since child hood. has been accustomed to agree able sights and sounds. even in the midst of a struggle for existence. How much more he may add to the great things in the world if his ears have heard nothing but words of decency- until he has at least reached an age when he is able to understand that the other sort of language holds noth- ing for him. How much better he will be able to understand the needs of the world if he has witnessed no unseemly sights--untiI he reaches an age of understanding when he can turn his matured attention to good use.
 And how much will his thoughts be elevated. the inspiration of his being be finer, if he has heard music music in the commonplaces of life. music in the popular sense. And as he comes to understand how that inspiration to amount to something will grow to the accompaniment of good music.
 In its practical application Evan gelists like Billy Sunday could do little. it is said, without the aid of music which is possibly one of the worst things that may be said against evangelists. but which illustrates the point. How filled with determination men become when there is nothing but good music ringing in their ears. They feel that they can "conquer the world"
 The charming Of snakes by music is' known-its effect upon them. So on men it has its influence. Department stores are utilizing music to cheer and make generous their customers. In the great cities concerts are given daily.

Then I was pretty nearly run over by train that came speeding along over some tracks that were spread all over the floor. It had a coal car and two freight cars on behind it. The next time it came by there were two passenger cars hooked on. This time I caught it and pulled a little lever and it stopped. Then I pulled the lever again and away it went. But the track came apart and the whole train went over on the floor in a heap.
 Santa handed me d tall thing, just like wind mill tower. It had a long string on It and a hook on the end. I put the hook into the engine of the train and turned a handle. The whole train came up into the air and went swinging back onto the track
 Plenty to Play With.
 I played for hours with milk wag- ons, automobile trucks, little electric autos, walking dogs jumping monkeys and meowing cats.
 And you can just bet I had a won- derful time. That's why I don't want Santa to take all these lovely things down the chimneys in New Britain
 But I'm glad all you children are going to have the same fun I've had.
