an alarm clock. Its bell was ringing
like everything. This was to wake the
Old Folks up.
First, he called the roll, to see if
they were all up and awake. Then,
he began to pick the presents off the
tree.
Soon the room was gay with dolls,
horns and jumping jacks.
A doll was riding in her carriage,
sQueaking and rising up every few feet
as she rode along
There was a talking doll, too. She
sang and talked when they pushed the
buttons OH her dress.
There were hot dolls for cold nights
and cups and balls for the Old Folks
to play with when they could not
sleep.
The Old Folks all played with their
presents. They blew on their horns,
and amused themselves with the jump
ing-jacks, and sent the moving toys
running about the room all at once.
But, after all, the Old Folks thought
it wasn't SO very much fun because
there were no real children there. So
they sent out to see IL they could find
some.
They found Lucy, Peter, Billy, Mary,
Sally, Hilda, Ruth, and some other
children, who all came to see the
Old Folks Christmas tree.
Lucy told the Old Folks the story
about her dog Trump.
Trump was tramp dog, but he
could do some tricks. He loved to be
dressed up in a blanket, with a belt.
Then, with a beribboned straw hat
on his head, he would walk across
the room upon his hind legs.
After Lucy came Peter.
Peter said that he did not know any
stories, but once he carried the flag
for the big boys baseball team, and
they let him go in to see the base
ball game, free.
Then Billy told a story.
He said that once he sat up all
night, waiting for Santa Claus to come
and fill his stocking. That is, he
tried to sit up all night; but Santa
Claus didn't come and so he fell asleep
= in the dark. The next day the doctor
came to see him. The doctor told him
he had had "stockingitis."
Billy said, too, that when he woke
up in the early morning and found
that Santa Claus had forgotten to fill
his stocking. he was going to throw
himself on the floor and pound his
heels on 1t and holler. But then he
happened to remember how ugly his

the street, the young Old Folks could
hear them laughing, long after they
turned the corner.
Besides, the young Old Folks have
been talking about their "Old Folks

An Important Settlement

Payment of s1o3.452 to the Atlanta &
St. Andrews Bay Railway by the gov
ernment in full settlement of the com
pany's claim under Section 204 Of the
Esch Cummins act is thought by lead
ing railroad lawyers to establish a
precedent of considerable Importance
to a great number of the short line
railways. The new railroad law pre-
vides that short lines, privately oper
ated. which suffered a deficit during
Federal control shall be entitled to
readjustment of earnings on the basis
of standard return, while short lines
which had an operating income should
not be entitled to that readjustm ent.
The question raised in the case of the
Atlanta & st. Andrews Bay Railway
by John B. Pruyn, general counsel, was
whether the short lines were to COM
pute earnings for the full period Of
Federal control or for the last twenty
months, when they were priva tely op
Grated, in order to qualify for the ben
efits of Section 204. The Atlanta u
st. Andrews had an operating income
for the first six months of 1918, but
showed an operating deficit thereafter.

Evidences of improvement in the
financial world were not confined yes

market. A significant lowering in the
cost of credit for both speculative and
trade purposes. and striking further
squirt in the rate of exchange on Lon

and wheat indicated that similar in
t1uences were affecting traders in the

In the commodity markets and the

of those who were short hurriedly to
cover. In the stock market the action
of Crucible Steel represents what hap

crease production and on my return

built than could have been sold within
the next twelve months. As it is,
there are generally only enough to
take care Of present demands, and wh en-
the spring demand opens up, about
March. we can start full force produc-
tlon again. While 1921 is going to be
a good year, it is not going to be

Those who were willing to lend
Crucible Steel yesterday demanded a

an excited covering movement after the

the fact that on Friday the stock was

there was considerable selling in the
first hour, which carried the price down
to 65A. However, when it became
known that the premium had been ad-
vanced to - of per cent, the stock be-
gan to move forward rapidly until i

Liberty Bonds Easier

Although there was no great weak
ness in the bond market yesterday,
most of the government issues were
easier and showed small net declines
for the day. The Victory issues were
slightly higher, however, and indus
trial securities were in better demand.
The market, as whole, is still several
points lower than it was year age,
but it was considered only natural that
the present pause should follow the
rather rapid advance of last week.
