The pressure exerted on a pavement
by the impact of a motor truck wheel
as 1t passes over bumps, cracks and
depressions can now be accurately de-
termined by an apparatus designed by
the bureau of tests of the Illinois state

wheel load is carried on an oil cylinder
three inches In diameter, the oil line
being connected with a three-eighths-
Inch cylinder, the piston working
against a coll spring. This piston is

A VISIT FROM ST. NICHOLAS
By ELEMENT c. MOORE

;TvWAS the night before Christmas, phen all

Not a creature Was stirring, not epen a mouse;
The stockings were hung BY the chimney NTH care
IN hopes that st. Nicholas soon would be there;
1he children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While uisions of sugar-plums danced in their heads.
And mama in her kerchief, and l in my cap,

More rapid than eagles his coursers they came.
And he whistled and shouted, and called them by name:

anu COPIED IL INTO ner album. 1ucA
just before Christmas of 1923, she
sent a copy to the editor of the Troy
Sentinel. And that's how the verses
came TO be printed in the first place.
Clement Moore, like many a man
With a serious purpose In life, had
a hobby which he did not ride in pub
lie. His vocation was the teaching
Of Biblical learning to theological stu
dents. His avocation was writing po-
etry for the ediication and pleasure
Of his children. AS for the children,
they thought their fathers verses were
the best fun In all the world. He un-
derstood SO well their likes and dis
likes and sympathized 81 keenly with
their joys and griefs. Sometimes the
poems contained a moral that could
be applied right at home. But In gen
eral the verses were just sheer, clear
rollicking fun.
Clement Moore, as he related in lat
er years. first heard the story of st.
Nicholas as told in the poem from a
Jolly fat Dutchman who lived near
his boyhood home. The Dutchman had
heard the story when a boy In Hol-
land.
Well, when the Christmas Of 1922
drew near Clement Moore thought he
would write a Christmas poem as n
present for his children. And he
picked out the Dutchman's story of
st. Nick as the subject. The Moores
lived In n big house on a hill that
sloped to the Hudson. The ground
was all covered with snow. There was
a great fireplace where the Christmas
stockings we're hung. The setting was
Just rigft !. So one evening Clement
Moore sat- down In front of n cheerful
blaze in the big fireplace and began
the verses that Will Keep his fnme
immortal MS long as there are chill
dren and Christmas Is celebrated.
Clement Moore was a very modest
man and his personal feeling about
the verses he wrote for his children
was that they had little merit except
as verses for children-and for his
own children. And for that reason
he was reluctant to disclose his au-
thorshIp. Finally. In 1874, he did pub
fish n Collection OF POEMS" which
included "A Visit From st. Nicholas"
In the records of the General Theo-
logical seminary Is the following testi-
monial from It's faculty to the sterling
worth of their associate:
"We recognize In him one whom God
has blessed with selected gifts; warm
hearted In friendship, genial In society,
kindly and conslderate to all: pos
sessed of fine literary tastes, poetic
instincts and expressiveness, and Of
cheerful humor withal at the same
time well accomplished In severer stud.
les and resolute for more laborious
undertakings, as his learned works In
Hebrew grammar and photography dis
tinctly testify"
"a Visit From st. Nlchoins" is here
with reprinted In full. And no apology
is mnde for reproducing a poem that
millions of children-and ~grownups,
too-know by heart. It's not hard
work Mt Christmas time to run over
the old, familiar llnes-they're good
reading yet for the Oldest and crusti
est of us.

The portrait Is that of Clement Clark
Moore Q7S1-1S63), a founder of h
seminary who gave 1t the whole block
known MS Chelsea square. Moreover.
from 1921 to 1850 he was the professor
of Biblical learning and was professor
emeritus from then until his death.
And In addition he compiled a He
brew and English Lexicon" QS09), the
first TO be published in this country.
This notable scholar and dlgnified the
illogical professor was born in New
York City, the grandson Of Maj
Thomas Clark, a retired officer of the
British army. and son of the Rt. Rev.
Benjamin Moore, third president of
Columbia university and second bishop
of New York. He studied for the min
istry, but was not ordained.
Christmas morning. at $3.50 o'clock,
several hundred Sunday school chill
dren-maybe as many as a thousand
will march from the new Chapel of
the I~ntercession In New York City with
trumpeters and banners, singing
Christmas carols as they go. and lay
a great wreath on a tomb in famous
old Trinity cemetery. This tomb is
that of this same grave and reverend
professor of Biblical learning and com
piler of n Hebrew lexicon. And this
memorial celebration is now a feature
of Christmas day.
1t Is likely that his Christmas the
theological students and the Sunday
school children will add special fea-
lures to their memorial celebration. For
Clement Clark Moore Is, as everybody
should know, the man who wrote
'"Twas the Night Before Christmas"
n this Christmas season Is the cen
tennial of the writing of the poem that
hns gone around the world and Is the
delight OF children wherever Santa
Claus is known. OF course there are
lots of people who do not know who
wrote It. And that's because it has
become so much a part Of our Christ
mas tradition and literature that 1t
never occurs to them that 1t had an
author. It's like Mother Goose, you
know.
December %. 1923, the Troy IN. "
Sentinel printed the now famous poem
with the title. "a Visit From st. Mich

The jolly Jingle met with instant
appreciation. Other new spapers pub
lished 1t. City after city all over the
country copied II. II wns published
In magazines. Next II went into the
public school readers. Then came
special editions of the poem, illustrated
by artists who had made u name by
their pictures for children. Finally
II wat translated into many languages.
Now It may be heard almost NIL over
the world.
And all this time the name OF the
author WAS unknown. The fnct Is that
PROFESSOR Mora was not exactly
pleased over the publication OF the
poem and its worldwide popularity
cnused him To shrink from claiming
Its authorship.
You see, he had nothing TO do with
It's original publication. The poem
wns written for his children and wns
strictly for family use. Hut IN the

ing, when he was found frozen and
unconscious near his shack at Churchs
Ferry. He was Immediately brought to
the General hospital and vigorous
measures taken to resusciate him, but
he did not recover consciousness till
Monday morning. It was evident that
if he had survived, amputation of
both feet and both hands would have
been necessary.
Swenson was a drinking man and
when found he had a box of vernol
tablets in his pocket. He said that he
had taken eight of these tablets Sat-

vernol has a sleep-producing influ-

he took "put him to sleep on his

Judge ButtZ Hears
Compensation Suits

Judge C. w. Buttz last week tried
two suits brought against the State
Workmen's Compensation Bureau to
collect compensation for injuries re-
ceived by employees.
The first was brought by the estate
of K. Matson who became i'll while
employed by the R. E. Cobb Co. and
died soon after. The court held that
Matson became sick while working at
the creamery plant and that in fit of
nausea he broke blood vessel, caus-
ing his death. The judge decided that
the Workmen's Compensation Bureau
should pay the widow $35 per month
for eight years.
The other suit was by Mrs. ]. w.
Bodeson, whose husband was killed
in 1920 while employed in the St.
Anthony & Dakota Elevator at Hamp-
den. The elevator company's insur-
ance had expired and was renewed
September 5th, the day after Bode-
son was killed. Judge Buttz has not
rendered his decision in this case.

Mr.. SKJOL Gets
IT IN The NECK
IN DRUNKEN ASSAULT, HIS a.
YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER
STABS HIM.

Last Saturday night Henry Skjol,
carpenter, residing on the west side,
returned home in state of intoxica-
tion and made brutal attack upon
his daughter Ruth, who was in bed
and asleep when he started choking
her. Mrs. Skjol came to the daugh-
ter's rescue, but was roughly handled
and thrown upon the floor by her
drunken husband. The daughter, in
defending her mother, picked up a
small knife and stabbed her father
in the head and neck, one of the
stabs coming very close to severing
the jugular vein.
After the affray, Skjol chased both
women into a neighbor's house, and
when the police came to get him, he
was found to be armed with a butch
er knife, apparently waiting for the
women to return.
Skjol, after being patched up by
Dr.. Mcintosh, was taken to the coun-
ty Jail. A charge of assault will be
preferred against him.

of 1921 Crops
Only Third of 'l8 Crop

The total farm value of North
Dakota's field crop poduction for

$207,989,00 in 1920, $500, 1877 900 in

315,00O in 1917, according to the
December report of the U. S. Bureau
Of Markets and Crop Estimates for
North Dakota. Potatoes lead with
tame hay second, and corn third in
the production value per acre for
1921. The total ecerage of the prin-
cipal cultivated crops in this state
for 1921 is placed at 15,4SS,00 acres
or 2.2 per cent less than the total
Of 15,822,000 acres in 1920, and 7.2
per cent less than the 1919 acreage
of 16,67SG000 acres, but 36l6 per
cent greater than the Census acreage
for 1910 of 11,334,OOO acres, Barley,
corn oats, potato and tame hay acre
ages were increased and the acre
ages for other crops show decrease
from that of 1920. From a percen-
tage basis the potato acreage shows
the heaviest increase and flax the
greatest decrease in acerages of all
crops in 1921. The reduction in wheat
rye and flax acreages largely ac-
counts for the decrease in the total
cultivated acreages in 1921.-U. S.

Lord did not answer Judge Brooke,
as it did Job "out Of the whirwind."
