sANTA's PACKING

Santa Claus was busy packing his
huge bags full of presents of all sorts.
He had great enormous boxes of
candy to be divided up into other
boxes and into candy bags. He had
huge barrels of oranges and of apples,
of nuts and raisins, of popcorn, and
of cranberries to decorate the Christ
mas trees with.
He had hundreds and hundreds of
dolls and trains of cars and boats and
games. He had any number of books
with lovely pictures and interesting
stories, and he had drawing books and
paint boxes too.
He had puzzles and he had balls.
He had machinery of different kinds
and mechanical toys which went when
they were wound up.
He had some pretty dresses and
some fine little suits, and some useful
mittens and muffs and furs
He had everything you can possibly
imagine and he was packing them all
up,
"Of course" said Santa, when peo-
pie pack up they are usually going
away for visit or they are going to
move to another place.
"They have to take all sorts OF
things with them every kind of a
thing from a toothbrush to party
dress.
But when pack up have toys Of
all sorts. That is what / have indeed.
"And now / must keep all these
things straight. Oh, yes, I must do
that.
1.-THE zoo keepers and those who
know about animals say that the ele-
plants never forget, but must say
that old Santa Claus can never forget
either.
He never can forget thing for he
would never want to make such mis-
take And so he never does forget a
thing No. Not indeed.
'And while the elephant has trunk
he doesn't have to pack up what San
ia Claus has to pack up"
Santa Claus laughed as he said this
and then he picked up a toy gray
elephant.

CANADA DID WELL
Honors Worthily Won at Interna-
tional Live Stock Show.
Friendly Rivalry at Chicago Splendid
ly Revealed the Possibilities of
Our Northern Neighbor.

Further evidence, if any were needed.
of the friendly relations between Cam
ada and the United States might
have been found by visit to the In
ternational Live Stock Show recently
held at the Chicago Stock Yards.
There the Canadian and American
were to be found side by side in the
friendliest competition, the loser will
ingly admitting defeat when the other
fellow carried off the blue ribbon.
Some of the Choicest and, best Of
Canadian stock was there, and much
of it returned loaded down with rib
bons denoting frsts, championships
that indicate pedigree, breeding and
worth, and cups and trophies that
were won in hard and severe contests.
The hay and grain classes were
points of great interest, and here
Canada did well. securing many
prizes.
Twenty-Five first prizes were listed
in the oats class; Canada carried
away % of them. A sample of oats
from the Province Of Alberta, weigh
ing 48 pounds to the, bushel, was the
heaviest sample in the show. 1t was
Alberta oats that took the sweep
stakes, the exhibitor in this case, ].
w. Lucas, of CayIey, repeating what
he did last year.
In wheat there were % first prizes
to be awarded; Canada got % of
them.
The greatest interest was shown
when the horse classes were called.
Here also Canada stood well to the
front. The Percheron entries showed
that Canada breeders were popular
and successful exhibitors. Champion
ships we're awarded to a number, and
first prizes were common. The same
may be said Of Clydesdales. This
breed stood out prominently, there
were many entries, and this old-time
popular breed had an unusual num-
Der of admirers. This was especially
so in "Wee Donald's" case. Here was
q Saskatchewan horse, his owner TAX
ing back to Canada the grand cham
pionship. Not only has he done it this
year, Uul 1ttSt yCo1 CAo WOAACsNO JSe~AS
in succession something never before
done at the Live Stock show. In
Clydesdales Canada won places IN
every class in which entries were
made.
The same story could be repeated In
sheep and hogs, honors being heaped
upon honors on Canadian entries.
Particularly important is the fact that
first prize for alfalfa seed was
awarded for seed grown at Brooks,
Alberta, in competition with 4S en-
tries. Alfalfa growing in Western
Canada has been increasing by leaps
and bounds, and this victory will give
it--and the dairy industry, which Is
always linked with tia further Inn
petus.
A visit to the Canadian government
exhibit of grains, grasses, vegetables,
fruits, minerals and other products
of the Dominion to the north, revealed
in tabloid form what the great coun-
try to the north could do. A great
interest was aroused in this exhibit.
and it was greatly admired by visitors
to the Live Stock show. Representa-
tives of the government were on hand
for the purpose of giving information
to those desiring it.-Advertisement.

LoNELIEsT SPOT IN ENGLAND
Residents of Essex Village Surely Are
Cut Off From the Society Of
Their Fellows.

The most inaccessible spot In Eng
land, according to a correspondent in
the Manchester Guardian, is Foulness,
in Essex. AS the crow flies FOulness
is barely forty miles from London
little island sundered from the Els
sex marshes by the wide estuary Of
the Crouch. 1t costs about a pound
($5) to get from Burnham-on-C Crouch
the nearest railway station-to Foul
ness and back, for there is no public
service and a bargain for the trip has
to be struck with local bOatman.
When the boat reaches the pebble
shore you scramble as best you can
over the sea wall, and SO to the sur
face of the island.
Foulness is about IA miles round,
and possesses a church, an inn and
three shops, but no policeman and no
doctor. The only industry besides
farming appears to be shooting wild
duck and widgeon, which abound here
in company with many other birds of
types rarely seen so far north. At low
tide those of the islanders who pos
sess no boat and no money to hire one
can walk to the mainland by the
Broonway, huge stretch Of sand, with
little birch sticks marking the track.
This takes them across the Foulness
and Maylih sands to Wakering, and
involves tramp of from 10 to 20
miles, according to the point at which
the island is left. Nothing can be seen
Of the outside world from FoulneSs
for on all sides it is shut in by the
sea wall, and there is no vestige OF
hill from which to obtain view.

EARTH's ATTRACTION

All bodies fall to the ground in con-
sequence of the power of the earth's
attraction on each Of its particles;
everything else being equal or the
same, all bodies, great and small, light
and heavy, ought to fall with equal
rapidity. The fact that stone falls
more rapidly than a feather is due
solely to the unequal resistance op-
posed by the air to the descent Of
these bodies. In a vacuum all bodies
fall with equal rapidity.

President Wilson has been asked to
| take immediate steps to protect New
York City and the country at large
from typhus epidemic. DR.. Royal S.
Copeland, Commissioner Of Health,
wired yesterday to Joseph P. Tumulty,
Secretary to the President, asking that
the complications ensuing from the ac-
ton of the Department of Labor in ar
resting cooperation between the local
oealth authorities and immigration Of
ficials be brought to the attention of
the President.
He pointed out that within two weeks
three cases of typhus have been over
looked and permitted to land, and that
there Is no cooperation on the part of
Federal auth horities In this port, re-
gardless of what personal views officials
may hold. The situation is chaotic at
present, and until the government takes
over the Quarantine station there seems
to be little hope of Improvement.
Dr. Leland E, Cofer, Health Officer
Of the Port of New York, said yester-
day that no definite date had been set
for the transfer, but that undoubtedly
it would take place in the very
near future. In the mean time DR..
Copeland intends to &c right ahead with
an inspection Of his own at South Ferry
regardless of the "hands off" decree of
the Labor Department. He will con-
tinue his efforts in spite of any opposi-
cJ ion
stands, immigrants have to undergo
three examinations-th first at the
Quarantine station, the second at Ellis
Island, the third on their arrival in
Manhattan. City health authorities
said yesterday that the final examina-
ton showed conclusively that immi-
grants were slipping through in con-
dition that made them a me@ace to the
community.

in our methods when unclean persons
get past all authorities. Persons are
being dumped into this city at the
Federal barge office whom our Health
Department would not permit to land
anywhere else.
"I do not undertake to locate the de-
