In memory of my brother
JOSEPH A. ORR, JR.
who passed away in Boston,
January 5, 1884

"In a sheltered garden a soul took
part
In familiar ways of the earth-bound
heart,
Til tired, it glimpsed through the
walls a view
Of lands eternal and bright and true;
So it wandered there through the
scented loom,
And knew, at last, it had found a
Home!
Shall we close our garden from the
sun and light
And make of parting a stricken
flight?
No! let us trust with a Drawer will
While memories linger in fragrance
STILL
Knowing the Absent wander on,
Happy and free in the Silver Dawn;
With CHEEKY smile and a loving kiss,
Turn to gather Eternal Bliss!"
MRS. ANNIE ORR TAYLOR, sister.

The good thing about Santa Claus is that he has lot of flesh and blood counterparts Every year they see to it that he lives for these who are hungry and in want.
 Some, like Edward Mcdonald of St. Louis, Mo, give toys to chil- dren who otherwise would have none. Known as the one-man Santa Claus Mcdonald makes the toys during the year in his base ment workshop. He started IA years ago, using wood from old fruit boxes. That year he gladdened 54 children, last year 1900.
 This will be the fortieth year that Miss Mada Keidel and her sis ter Katherine of Prospect, Ky, set up a Christmas village in their home. Children from miles around come to see the spectacle, made of odds and ends of furniture, card board and rags. The Santa Claus is build around an old-fashioned phcncgraph the fireplace is an old wardrobe.
 Far out in the Pacific, on Fan ming Island, live 30 white women and children who depend for their Christmas on sea-going Santa, Capt. George Piltz of the steam ship Dickenson. They are British subjects, stationed on the lonely island to operate a cable station. The Christmas cargo comes via Australia and Honolulu, the Dick enson's home port. It must be un- loaded through the surf in a small boat
 Other Santas are more concerned with seeing that people get enough to eat on Christmas.
 George Stump, Carthage, Mo :. printer, invites the nations real forgotten men"-jobless persons riding aimlessly on freight trains to big feed in the railroad yards jungle"
 Two nights before Christmas 1884, Stump dreamed of hungry men. Next day he bought 10l pounds of beef and enough stuff for a tasty stew. Early Christmas morning he went down to the jungle with the chief of police At first the eight men shivering in cave were hostile but their faces lit up when Stump explained why he had come.
 Tell me there ain't no Santa Claus, said one old fellow.
 The word got around each year until last year Stump fed 50 men on food donated by himself and other Carthage business men. He writes a column under the name Bill Spivens," and the hoboes have dubbed him Bill Spivens. mayor of Jungletown."
