WORLDS CHAMPION SANTA
HAS SO FOSTER KIDDIES

SAND SPRINGS, Okla.-The big
gest-and the happiest-family in
the world is enjoying a $4,000 Christ
mas here.
This family has ninety-siX children
little mites to half-grown young
sters. They all wrote to Santa and
they'll all get what they asked for.
They're adding to their Christmas
cheer by inviting 200 aunts and
cousins to share in the party. For
what's Christmas without company,
even in family of ninety-siX?
Charles Page. foster-father of the
ninety-siX, will look on and show one
kiddy how to run the new electric
railway and tell another to keep his
new bat clear of the chandelier.
Legally Adopts All
Page has legally adopted all of the
ninetysiX and has them housed in
the Sand Springs home, which he
founded.
I'm enjoy Christmas more than
they says Page. He is a multi
millionaire oil man. But once he was
an orphan and felt the pinch of pow
erty. That's why he's devoting his
fortune to lettering the plight Of
other orphans.
He adopted two thirteen years ago.
He put them in a tent on the out
skirts of Tulsa. His family grew.
Now it's i'll a comfortable five-story
building on the old tent site.
Page keeps his children so long as
they want to stay with him. He edu-
Gates them in a private elementary
school and sends them to public high
School. Then they can go to college
if they choose. s
Widows Colony
Besides that, Page has established
a widows colony. He has fifty needy
widows and their children in fifty
neat little cottages.
They'll be the aunts and cousins
at the Christmas feast. Besides,
every widow will have a big Christ
mas dinner brought to her cottage.
The $4,000 spent in this Christmas
party represents one-tenth of the
monthly salary of Pages employees,
who tithed themselves to provide the
fund.
Part of it has been used for a COM
munity Christmas tree for all the
people of Sand Springs, displayed in
the public square.
Here's what Page has to say about
Christmas:
, Everybody should have a happy
Christmas.
You can't make others happy I'M
less you think right, but if you do
think right, you will give all you can
even if it is only the old WORKOUT
doll your little girl had last Christ
mas, and which she has laid aside.
Or you can divide a piece of bread
and butter, if you haven't anything
else, or give a kind word, with the
added thought that some day-may-
be next Christmas-things will be
different.
But the big idea is for everybody
to be happy on Christmas, and if
you can make the other fellow feel
that way, you will feel that way
Yourself.

Notorious Bandit,
Eddie Estelle, Freed
After Twenty Years

LEAVENWORTH, Kan, Dec. "a.
Eddie Estelle, SO, convicted bandit,

a sensational prison break in which

of breaking into a store, and was
taken to Marysville, where he w
escaped, but was captured after J.
E. Roberts, member of a pursuing
posse and companion, had been killed
in a gunfight at Dunlap.
Estelle was sentenced TO serve >
year and then to be hanged. The
capital punishment order never was
signed and Estelle, with Ben Cra-
vons, notorious Oklahoma bandit,
escaped.
Estelle carved a gun out of wood,
wrapped it with tin foil and forceo
guards to permit him, Cravens and
another prisoner, who was shot and
killed, to leave the prison mine. Es-
telle WAS captured in Illinois, after =.
train robbery in which he is alleged
TO have taken a leading part. He
was sentenced to the Illinois peni-
tertiary at Joliet, but upon his iden-
titication he was returned to the
Kansas penitentiary.
