.OLD MOORE HOME
 MAY BE SPARED
House Where Christmas Poem
 Was Written Still Stands

New York. Oct 9 UP)-The house from which that famous verse, "1'he Night Before Christmas" emanated, stood belligerently today against the march of progress and a lot of legal papers.
 In the nineteenth century Clement Moore resided in a fashionable Chel- sea. His two children were imbued with Christmas spirit. Moore sat at his fireside at 429 West 23rd street and composed the piece.
 Years passed. Moore died. His estate was banded around through lease after lease until finally Mrs Tillie Hart obtained tho house in which the poem was written. Then a development company took over the property along with several others in the area preparatory to erecting $25,0O0,0O0 apartment house.
 Partly through sentimcntality and partly through belief in her lease. Mrs. Hart refused to permit wreck CTS to tear down her house. All buildings in the block were dis mantled save hers. Today Irving Goldstein arrived with several legal appearing papers and told Mrs. Moore she must move.
 Pardon me, Fritzi and Topsy are hungry" Mrs, Hart said and disap- peared.
 A Negro wroker started hacking at the building Two boarders look ed out a window and suggested, sharply, the Negro should dcsist. He did.
 The house in which Clement Moore wrote Twas the night before Christmas' remained as silent as when Moore wrote Not creature was stirring

 ?. The Hilltop property, so- called, containing Mir. stanlcy's resi- denco, together with other outbuild- ings and embracing the lawn. gar dcns and limited area immediately surrounding, same comprising in all approximately IS acres.
 This lease is intended to in no wise affect or alter the various con- ditions which were a part of MT. Stanley's transfer to the city or in cluded in the lease and option to MT. Stanley.
 lnasmTch as the property to be leased 10 the city includes the en- trance driveway it is agreed that A1r stanley shall have a right of way over if and that the city shall main tain it in a reasonable state of re- pair.
 The city shall have the right to utilize the property leased for the various purposes as provided for in 1 the deed and shall further have the right to sublct such portions as 1t may not desire to utilize for park purposes in the near future. The rental under this lease shall be s1,S0o per year, payable in quar- terly instalments at the end of each quarterly period
 At the present time the farm is occupied by George Donlon. who has given notice of his intention Co va cate on May l. 1930. He has more recently indicated that if the city desire to 20 ahead this fall with the ! golf course he would probably be | able 10 vaCate before the end of the year. If the city are to start work on the golf course before he has vacated the farm it would ap- pear to the writer that it would be q fair arrangement if the rental were to be divided between Mir. Don lon and the city on q ffty-ffty basis. In the deed Of transfer mention was made of the possibility that at some future time portions Of par cols A, B, and C might be sold for | the purpose of establishing a trust fund for the maintenance of the park. Inasmuch as the portions to be used for golf was one of the | parts which Mir. Stanley had in mind for possible future sale it is suggest ed that parcel c should not be so utilized during the term of this lease for permanent park improvements as to make it impracticable. in the future, to sell alt or a portion of it. If q lease, which shall cmbody the points covered by the foregoing is satisfactory to the park board and meets with the approval of tho mayor, will you kindly have the let ter signed and return one of the enclosed copies. I will then at once prepare a lease to be sent to Mir l Stanley for his and Mrs Stanley's l signatures Inasmuch as these sig natures have to be made before a | United States consul it will not be possible to get them returned much 1 before the latter part of November. | However. if the above letter meets with your approval it will be possi- ble for you to proceed with work on the golf course as soon as it can be done without interfering with un-

 That's why you can take these pleasant-tasting tablets as often as you please-and give them freely to children or old folks. They are not habit forming, like so many laxatives; they make it unnecessary to use violent purga-

lives that upset the system and soon call for more.
 Cascarets are sweetened with pure cane sugar and favored with licorice; you simply eat them like candy. Then sleep right on while they are preparing your intestinal tract for a thorough cleansing in the morning. Cascarets never cause discomfort or that nauseouS feeling usually associated with laxatiyes.
 The next time you have that bilious, headachy, dejected feeling that comes from disordered stomach-or for any reason you suspect liver and bowels are not functioning just right-take candy Cascaret.
