While two young lads were sur
veying the puppets, their eyes fell
on Santa Claus. A heated argu-
ment ensued over the existence Of
such q parsonage. One Of them had
been oohing and aahing all the dis
plays, and he spied the bearded
countenace of a portrait of Andrew
Carnegie, library founder. The
youngsters eyes lighted up with,
''But like grandpa best of ALI"
