The city commissioners and a very discreet reporter did, right in the office of Mayor T. S. Browning- this morning. He came along there so quietly that nobody heard him at all. Nobody saw that he was there, until they just kind of looked up and saw him. Well, for what do you think he was ' there? He didn't say that the report er might tell, so the reporter isn't going to say what ho said. But first of all he hushed them all up. And if you know the city commissioners as reporters do, you will know what that means. But Santa is a very wonderful, for all his thousands and thousands and thousands of years. He hushed 'em all up, he did, and then very slow ly he said something, and Mayor Browning smiled above his funny .specs, and Miles Jones smiled, and Mr. Flygaro beamed, and the reporter smiled, and although Santa very near ly couldn't be heard, the reporter heard what he said because that is what reporters are paid for, and the re porter -heard something about "poor children" and "very busy" and "almost out of gifts'," and then the mayor spoke up and he said: "Well, old friend, suppose we give you so and so." And Santa said, that will be altogether too much", and "If Some of., the rich little boys ,and girls don't get all they want, they will re member that it was because with the war and everything and all those French and Belgian and Serbian and Armenian children over in Europe, I couldn't oven do everything that I wanted to. But every little boy and girl who is good will beliove that I am still in the same old business. Thank you, ever so much, for your help, Mr. Mayor and commissioners. You have helped me quite a lot and the blessings of little children who are poor will be upon you." And then the reporter rubbed his eyes and Santa was gone.

After several months of training In the same camp, after going through all the gruffness and ' strangeness of army life, which to the ; majority was a new experience in the manner of living, they had become firm, fast friends. And such has been ; the case with hundreds of thousands of men. Friendships of lifelong stand ing have been established, through tho , gathering together from the four cor- , ners of the earth of the men who ( came for the one purpose. And now ( the time has come, when they aro , parting going back to their own ( homes. But truly, the whole world will be friends now, for men have met ; men, they have learned, cursed, and j in somo cases suffered the same things . together. And what firmer ties of ' friendship can be had? They have had the greatest spirit . In the world at heart and in common, ' the freedom of the world and this ide.il alone has brought together men of all classes, and taught many that ; outside their class were men whom it ' was good to know. 1 So now it Is "So Long Pal. and a ( merry Christmas to you." For many it is over, and they are going to their homes with a bigger, better and broad er outlook on life and the lives of others han they have ever held be fore. - ' no CARD OF THANKS We desire to extend our thanks to s the many friends friends who so kind- $ ly assisted us through the sickness f and death of our son and brother. 3 Mr. and Mrs. John Beesloy , - and Family. I oo a mm mm - J NEW YORK, Dec. 19 Extensive selling of Liberty bonds, notably the fourth -is at the low record of 94.74, obscured operations in the stock mar ket during the greater part of today's unrestricted session. Sales approxi mated 400,000 shares. Advances of 1 to 5 points in ship pings, oils and tobaccos and reversals of 1 to 2 points in local tractions and specialties afforded an indication of the irregular tone of the stock market at the opening of today's session. Some of the popular equipments improved from fractions to a point, but rails held within contracted limits, although Bal timore and Ohio rose almost a point despite the cut in the semi-annual di vidend to 2 per cent. Liberty fourth 4 Vis fell to. the new low record of 95.22. The market drifted aimlessly after the opening, dealings for the forenoon dwindling o slender proportions. Such initiative as was shown by the list at rare Intervals originated with oils and a few specialties dominated by professional 'traders. Brooklyn Tran sit was conspicuous for it's weakness, falling 3 points to 2S, its lowest quotation since 1907. Liberty fourth ls sagged to 94.98, a discount of over five per cent but the bond market as a whole was steady. Stocks were unresponsive to the eas ier money conditions reported later in the day. Investment rails, including Atchison and Chicago and Northwes tern, eased about appoint; shippings, oils, coppers and tobaccos reacted 1 to 3 points and steels became irregular.

The looks came from the eyes of Petct Rocheff who speaks the English lan guage brokenly but ho understands It and enn make himself understood, and evidently of late all that men needed to speak to him about was. "How much ' for a pinf" and tho broken reply would come forth. Pete was making his way from the Union Depot when Bill espied him' Pete was carrying a neat grip and, I acting upon his Intuition, tho "X-Rayj sheriff" accosted tho man and found that whisky was in the bag and on his person. As ho was being searched at the, sheriff's office, Pete's eyes told a tale' of lingering anger for all who arrest the whiBky carriers. Tho search ie vealed twenty-three pints of "Old Pepper Whisky" bottled in 1914 and sold in 1918. "Green stuff," said a knowing one. It looked well nigh red to tho re porter.

I Chicago Quotations ; v J CHICAGO, Dec. 19 Absence of any aggressive buying led to moderate de clines today in the corn market. The fact that rains which had been pre dicted were not in evidence counted to some extent as a bearish factor. No tice was also taken that it had again become permissable to carry grain in store for an unlimited period.' Open ing prices, which ranged from c off to c advance with January $1.36 to 1.36 and May $1.354 to 1.35, wero followed by a general sag and then by partial rallies. Oats reflected the action of corn. After opening a shade to c lower with January 71 to 71c, the mar ket continued to descend. Provisions, like grain, lacked sup port Marketing of hogs has been so heavy that buyers were cautious.
