When tlie composer died. Anton Santer cut this lock from Reetlmven’s head and later gave It to Holzl. another musician. The latter douated it in turn to the choral society of Funfkircheu. o Indian Drums The Pueblos used a regular drum, the shell of which was made from a hollow cottonwood log. Drums were not used In war. but In ceremonies. The distance these drums could be heard varied, according to the air. state of drum, kind of drum, etc., but probably averaged about six miles. t 1 o Ancient City Charter "The Charter ot Liberties aud Privileges.” also culled Hie “Dongan's Charter,” was framed by a general assembly of freeholders of the province of New York, October 17, 1683. The plan of the present city Is based on this charter. o To Use Watch as Compass Los your watch lie flat In your hand, with the hour hand pointing toward the sun. and the point on the circle half way between the hour hand and XII will be directly south In the northl ern hemisphere and directly north in the southern hemisphere.

The first time I've hud even to think! Dread 'em every year. ' Tomorrow’s Christmas.” He shrugged ’ deprecaiingly. Something about the j drooping liulf-sneer of his mouth was “ pathetic. I A brindle mid wldte mongrel paused ’ i for a moment In ids excited search I for scraps, eyed his companion quiz- , zically, and returned resolutely to Ills : sniffing. •‘Turkeys and ducks and chickens, i 's all they think of. Now and then I bacon or ham. I used to think Christ- j mas was different." The young man rolled down his i sleeves and reached for his coat. ’ “Even site —” his bitterness deep- 1 ened, “with everything. Fifteen-pound turkey! I.ord! I wonder what slic'd think Ilf she knew how I feel. More Hum likely doesn’t know I'm alive, and me falling all over myself to save best cuts for her! Oh well, come on,' Spud!" Spud crunched a meat scrap reluctantly. “All rigid. Finish that. No hurry." Martin strolled to the window and gazed out nt the other festive shop displays. “Christmas 's Just a day people take off to eat and give presents In. and if you don’t know anybody and room out, there's nothing to It.” "One tiling, Spud!” Martin's voice brightened. Spud wagged a responsive tail without looking up. “In two months we'll huve the mortgage paid off this joint! Gad. it's been a pull getting started into business. Ten long, long months to save two hun-, dred dollars. Outside a light snow was falling. Late shoppers, hurrying along, laden with bundles, scarcely glanced at the _,ti >«>■- — kxIF f I > F p Tn I all young philosopher who, followed by a heterogeneous dog, strolled liomeward. The excluding gayety of Christmas Eve laughter and brightly lighted houses intensified Martin's loneliness. He passed the house where she lived and strained ids eyes for a glimpse of her. In fancy, be told her about Spud, the market, and even i hinted of ids love for hpr. From down the street a group of clill-1 dren carolled "Silent Night." Martin smiled bitterly. He. too, had believed - that story of the birth of a Christ child, once. A “prof at college had refuted If. Too bad. Pretty story. She had come to the window now to listen. How lovely she— I)—n! The carol had broken off into terrified screams. A car sped away. Martin found frightened children shivering over tlie writhing form of a boy. Martin carried him to the light. Ft was flic fellow who bought bits of liver and now nnd then a scrawny t soup bone. T.'ie girl must have seen tlie accl- 1 dent for she had come out and was •saying that she had called an ambulance. They both roife through tlie crunching snow to tlie hospital aud waited silently. “Not as bad as we had feared," the' doctor linally announced. "Sad case, though. Little fellow Is moaning now abort who’ll take care of Ids mother. Rent not paid, he says. Seems he’s liejen earning nil they’ve had. When I told him lie might be here three months—well, I never saw a kid so down-hearted." Martin hesitated. "I’ve got two hundred dollars," he heard himself saying. “If Hint would do tlie kid nnd Ids mother." He had a fleeting desperate picture ot another ten months of saving and stalling off the • second mortgage. ' i He walked home with the girl. Her I name was Mary. A regular Christmas ; name, lie said. Site smiled. “That was a beautiful tiling to do. ’ Mr. Bowman," she told him. “Did you notice the peace and happiness tn that little fellow’s face after the doctor liad told h!m? Mr. Bowman, I—” . Biww she hesitated, “I don’t suppose you’di care to, bnt I—we'd like to have you eat Christmas dinner with us. 1 went up this afternoon to ask you, but you were entirely ton busy to notice mo nnd—” i "Too busy to notice yoti!"

! fSANTA £ OK WAS IT tLa/VI ? 1 I CUPID?'T' -wi I L. “ v HnrN ■w" T WAS Christmas Eve—quite ’lie most glorious Chrlstmus g 9 Jl Eve Virginia liny had ever known. Everything was ready for the party—her party—from Hie “Merry Christmas” place-cards to Hie splendid Christmas tree Hint would be idiltize all evening with little lights and colors. Virginia phmed Hie lust red stock Ing to tlie mantel, and turned to tier mother. "1 think it was real mean of George not to offer to play Santa Chius for me,” she said. "After his having such a nice costume, too." “But, dear," tier mother answered "How could lie when you quarreled? I didn't know you had Invited him.’’ 1 "1 didn't, but of course I would have, if he bnd been Just the least bit nice,” Virginia pouted, and hurried off to get ready to receive her guests. Her mother, busy with last-minute de tails, smiled In what might have been reminiscence A of her own youth. •' fuW minutes IJ. * ater sl,e went ,o the phone, held a [O •mBBS brief conversation. M ai, d as she hung *’■ u *’ tiie reee * ver slic calle d U P lt, e 1 W ! ( stairs: •‘Hurry. ' a ’ dear. I do believe ‘ k some of your gffests ure comlnS” i 'W b p rl B , ‘t L fj down." Virginia's voice preceded Its owner by only a second. "Do I look n n right, mother?” "All right," said Mrs. Ray's voice, and her eyes said, "Lovely," and her heart said, "My own-darling!" Virginia, responding to an urgent bur-inggg! admitted Her earliest guests. Half an hour later, wiien tlie rooms were filled with merry, chattering young people, the orchestra struck up tiie first dance. Escorts led their laughing partners to tlie center of the floor, but Virginia did not dance the first number —she had not invited George. Neither imd she ingited, as her partner, anyone else. That dance was over, and another, and another. The Christmas tree was admired; the mistletoe was found, and put to its proper use; occasional silences made clear tlie distant sound of carolers; the clock struck teneleven—twelve. At that moment the guests vvery surprised (and so was Virginia) by the sound of slcighbells, a hearty "Merry Christmas," and the appearance, from somewhere near tlie tree, of as jolly a Santa as one could imagine. Near beside him stood Mrs. Ray. "Why, Mr. Santa Claus, I do believe,” and then she presented him to the company. "My oid childhood '"""I friend, Mr. Santa parsr Claus, lias come to pay us a visit, and as he Is all loaded down with Kff* ids various gifts, which must be delivered by tornorrow morning, 1 suggest that he give any of us S&..J who are to receive v his attentions, our I presents now." "I didn't know, Virginia," said Fudgy Clark, the tat and awkward ~—— youth who had stepped on Virginia's toes during tlie last (latce, "I didn't know you believed in Santa Claus.” "I don’t!’’ Virginia snapped. “All I right," lie laughed, "you needn’t bite my head off." Tlie favors distributed. Mrs. Raycalled Virginia. "Here, dear, you and Santa lead the grand march. If .yon will all follow, I think we might find some refreshments in another room." i ."Righto!” said Santa, In a decidedly uofrigid voice. Somehow, Santa knew just where to go. But then, of i course, Santa Claus knows everything. He even knew, a few moments later, when Virginia excused herself from the party, and slipped btek to tlie other room, now in a state of partial disarray, and (for even tlie orchestra . members were enjoying tlie repast In’ : the other room) forlorn in its enipti- ; ness. Virginia vvus feeling partlcu- ; larly forlorn and particularly proud, i Santa Claus must know everything. ' for lie knew just how long to wait . before lie, too, wandered from the - merry group and joined Virginia. 1 And be (or was It Cupid?) knew just what ta say to make this really tlie most wondetful Christmas Eve In alt Virginia's life. Just what It was, 1 am not sure, but lie must have told Virginia, for presently she said, "I I know; I know," and elie had cheered up quite a bit before lie put his arm around her. Somehow she wasn’t so , forlorn—nor quite so proud. ' Aftet a while they walked over to the tree together, and they listened to tlie carolers; and then, somehow, they stopped right under the mistletoe! IVhat George said was wlilsI pered in her ear. so we shall never know-, but Virginia was laughing ns she answered him, “Why, George," she said, “how dare , you say I don't believe in Santa I Claus?” <©. 15Z1.

GOV. JOHNSTON EXPLAINS STAND (CONTINUKO FROM I’AtiE ONE) by me all over the state Certain taxpayers tried to enjoin the legislators from meeting. One of the district judges, Sam Hooker, ot Oklahoma district court, issued injunctions against certain officers preventing them from thawing state funds. During the course of these proceedings, they committed the following outrages: Threatened to impeach the supreme court, and when the district judge, Sam Hooker, issued his order, they said they would impeach him. They declared they would impeach the state auditor, A. S. J, Shaw, for refusing to give them vouchers or warrants for their salaries. They said they would impeach the state treasurer, Colonel R. A. Sneed, if he refused to pay them. They said they would impeach aud suspend the governor; that they would impeach enough members of the supreme court to disqualify them, and have other members appointed in their place by the lieutenant governor and thereby break down their court and intimidate the others into joining the new ones thus selected, into giving sn opinion which would permit then) to meet, regardless of the constitution. They said that they knew more law than the courts; they said courts were dishonest and did not follow the law. Willi matters in this chaotic status, I called out the national guard, not to suppress the courts nor to train guns on courthouses, nor to violate the constitution; but first of all, to support the constitution, to support the courts an dto protect them, and to execute the laws of the state as it was my sworn duty and obligation to do. o TELEGRAMS IN MEXICAN CASE ARE MISSING (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) Mexico,” said Bresnahan.
