sT.NICHOLAS,

Children of Holland, Belgium and parts of Germany have their annual holiday, closely corresponding to oa Christmas on December 6, celebrated as St. Nicholas Day. In fact our own Santa Claus is derived from the legend of st. Nicholas who was fanced as driving rem deer bringing presents to good children.
 There is supposed to have been real St. Nicholas however born about the year 3OO who became bishop of the early church in Asia Minor He IS reputed to have been of great piety and generosity he aso is said to have performed numerous miracles including the bringing to life of three youths who had been mur dured and salted down by an innkeeper with whom they had taken lodgings
 But there is no mention of him in the writings of his contemporary church fathers and the accounts later given wide credence did appear until centuries after his supposed activities occurred Strange may seem his name became very prominent during the Middle Ages, and has persisted until the present time.
 He is known as the patron saint of Russia of chil dren of travellers, and, oddly enough, of thieves.
 However legendary St Nicholas may be, he is very real the boys and girls who look forward to his annual coming for as an immigrant from Holland has said: St Nicholas comes and fills shoes after he has taken out the grain which put in there for his reindeer"

CAVALRY TESTING
NEW TYPE SADDLE

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-Hav-
ing used the same type of saddle
the last 80 years, the United
States cavalry is experimenting
with something new.
Since the Mexican war cavalry
men have been enduring the dis
comfort of the Mexican saddle,
named after Gen. George B. Nc
Clellan, famous fighter, who de-
signed it. In spite of its long
period of usage, the present cav
airy saddle is cumbersome and
uncomfortable for the mounted
soldier. The new saddle has a
leather skirt covering the bulky
cinch rings and straps at the
side.
While retaining special fea-
lures CT the old Mcclellan sad
die, such as fastenings for blank
ct rolls, the saddles now contem-
plated for use are more like the
English fiat saddle used in polo
and for pleasure jaunts. Two
regiments of cavalry at Fort
Riley training school have been
equipped with them. If they
prove satisfactory they will prob
ably be adopted for the entire
service.

Great stores on Fifth Avenue
have given over counters and rows
Of shelves to valentines. The most
modern may select from designs
done by contemporary artists. The
strong colors and odd designs of
present day art have supplansed
the conventional cupids and flow
ers.
For the old-fashioned are repro
auctions of favorites of so years
ago. Chubby boys and rosy girls
smirk in bowers of paper lace and
red hearts pierced with gilded ar
rows. Pink little cupids run riot
over huge cards despatched with
saccharine verse.
There are valentines for sweet
heart, for a wife and for a moth
er. Uncles and aunts, sisters and
cousins have their special cards.
And row after row is filled with
comics, poking good natured fun
at the foibles of man.

At Theatres
"HEART OF THE YUKON"
AT COLISEUM TONIGHT

One Of the most stirring screen
fights ever staged is to be seen in
''The Heart of the Yukon" the
Pathe feature picture which will
be the attraction On the program
at the Coliseum tonight.
Jim Hardyya pioneer in the girl
rush, has struck it rich. But
Cash" Gynon, notorious saloon
keeper, and Hardy's most bitter
enemy, determines to get it away
from him. Gynan also poses as
the father of little Anita Wayne
who has come North searching for
her father whom she has never
seen. Although Gynon convinces
her that he is the man, Hardy
learns the truth, and after a wild
race across the frozen SHOWS,
catches Gynon who is trying to
escape with Anita.
The two come to blows on the
brink of an almost bottomless
crevasse. A single mistep means
certain death. Back and forth the
battle wages. and the suspense
aroused by this tense moment is
guaranteed to give the most jaded
mOvie-goer a thrill.
The result, needless to say, is
not unfavorable to Jim Hardy, but
all will undoubtedly agree that it
is some fight.
A fine cast appears in this force
full tale of the North country. John
Bowers and Anne Cornwall are
featured in the cast, while others
prominent in support are Frank

"THREE MILES UP"
AT PALACE TONIGHT

A bird-man! Better than that,
for no bird ever learned to fly up
side down. Al Wilson, the screen s
greatest stunt aviator, does this
in his latest picture, Three Miles
Up" a Western Universal, at the
Palace tonight.
This picture averages thrill a
second. There are tail spins,
tight spirals, a climb from one
plane to another, parachute
jump, plane falling in flames
and bona fide air-battle with
regular war equipment. Also
there is the novelty of a plane
chasing an automobile and swoop-
ing down to make a hold-up and
there is hand-to-hand fight be-
tween the occupants of two planes
the combatants balancing them
selves on the planes wings.
In other words, Al Wilson has
outdone himself in Three Miles
Up" his latest picture. The whole
dictionary of aviation stunts has
been used and tonight the audi.
ence will hold its breath while
this master of the air performs,
In addition to the stunts, Bruce
Mitchell the director-writer OF
Three Miles Up" has made a
story of novel interest.
The members of the excellent
cast render capable support, those
players worthy of special mention
including Ethlyne Clair. William
Malan, Frank Rice, William Cliff
ford, Billy "Red" Jones.

Jack had labored almost day and
night getting it up the gulch and
Installing it in its room near the
portal of the tunnel. 1t was run

five days they had advanced the
tunnel over twenty feet-almost a
months work by hand. Just this
morning the partners had decided
to raise on the ore, partly to de-
ternine how high it went, but
mostly to provide for ventilation.
The tunnel had reached a length
of four hundred sixty feet, and
the powder smoke didn't clear

air For the first few days they
had been running the compressor
and blowing air after each blast,

expensive.
