What is Christmas but a time of joy, of en- tertainment, of peace and good will? | What produces these things so much as a jolly family circle with the addition of a few friends, all listening to the wonderfully varied programs produced by an Edison Phonograph playing Edison Amberol Records?

New York, Dec, 13.—President and | the main floor of the nuuuinm Mrs. Taft went shopping in Fifth ave- nue today.. The rain poured down in torrents—the aftermath of a snow- storm last night—but this made no difference to the president and his wife. They arrived from Washington shortly before two o'clock this aft- ernoon and entering automobiles at the Jersey City station, came to New York by way of the Twenty-third street ferry. Mrs. Taft was accom- panied by her sister, Mrs. Thomas K. Laughlin of Pittsburg. John Hays Hammond came with the president as far as Jersey City, but took his leave when the shopping expedition got under way. This incursion into the Fifth avenue shops was decided upon on the train. It was thought for a time that the rain might Interfere with the plan, ‘but neither the president nor Mrs. Taft would listen to a postponement. So direct from the ferry housé they drove through the pelting rain to a jewelry establishment on the upper avenue. A police automobile preced- ed the president’'s car and a secret service machine followed. The advent of the president at the shop was entirely unexpected and the holiday throng forgot the problem of Christmas presents for the time being when word of the arrival of the dis- tinguished newcomers spread about the place. President and Mrs. Taft and Mrs. Laughlin went in a private room on Made Tour of Fifth Avenue §bwl in Monday’s Pelting Rain—Christmas Presents Selected for the House—In New Haven Today. White 9, B mhdc a wt;l.l&n drwumen were ed at tl ¥ Tray after tray of gmterln:&c;ld and silver trinkets was borne into room and from these a variety Christmas presents for the White HOuse family was selected. A watch for Charlie Taft, a bracelet and other things for Miss Helen, scholarly ‘Ermntu for Robert Taft, who holds the youthfully dignified position of a Yale senior, and a score or more of gifts for various members of the Taft family were pur- chased. The president is spending the night at the home of his brother, Henry W. Taft. He will go to New Haven early tomorrow morning to attend a meeting of the Yale corporation, of which he is a fellow, and to be the guest of the New Haven chamber of commerce at a banquet tomorrow night. Mrs. Taft and Mrs. Laughlin will remain in the city shopping until Wednesday or Thursday. The president will be back at the White House Wednesday fore- noon. The president was the guest at din- ner tonight of Dr. John Wesley Hill, pastor of the Metropolitan temple, where he met a number of distinguish- ed churchmen of all denominations. The dinner was preliminary to the closing rally of the Africa diamond jubilee celebration of the Methodist church in Carnegie hall tonight, where the president made one of the princi- pal addresses. — e FIREMEN’S PAY. Hartford Men Get More Money When Sick. Just at present when the Water- bury firemen feel a trifle disappointed at the failure of the board of finance to provide an appropriation sufficient to give them the increase asked for, their Hartford brethren are coming in for some notice by the fire board of that city,says the Waterbury Demo- crat. It seems that the fire commis- sioners up there are only now awak- ening to the fact that when a fireman is off duty for injuries or illness his income is greater than when he is regularly at work. This has been the case for several years and everybody acquainted with the situation knew it was so, but the fire commissioners were greatly surprised, apparently, when it was discovered by them. If a fireman is injured while doing fire duty he receives from the city full pay for the time lost, together with the amount of his doctor’s bills. In addition to this if he is a member of the State Firemen's assoclation, he cceives from that organization $2 day or $12 per weak. The firemen’s v ranges from $800 to $1,000 a year, "h _means from $2.19 to $2.74 per It is evident, therefore, that he is injured and off duty his e /is almost doubled. When a | fireman is {ll he usually receives half | pay from the city and the $12 a week | from the state association, so that when he is merely {ll he receives more pay than if he were working. The fire commissioners as well as Chief Krug think that the firemen extend their “illness” leave unneces- sarily because of the incentive to get more money. One of the commis- sioners urged the adoption of the New Haven system, which pays a fireman only for the first 24 hours that he is sick. BIG COAL POCKET.

While there is still some minor work to be done about the structure, all of the heavy work has been fin- ished. Th te is a model of convenience. It is ted between the tracks of the | former Naugatuck and Highland di- | visions at a point just below their junction. The cars containing coal to | be placed in the shute are run up on a | siding at the extreme end of which is TABOURETTES, ROCKING HORSES, a basin under the rails. The car can HALL . SEATS, WRITING DESKS, be brought to a halt over this basin HALL TREES, BEDROOM SETS, and then, by the use of an automatic COUCHES, KITCHEN RANGES, . | lever, coal may be dumped into the { basin in hardly a minuyte of time. A revolving carriage of many steel shov- els on heavy chains catches the coal as it emerges from the shute and car- ries it along under the big bin which | contains the shutes. The chain of shovels then travels i up the side of the structure to the very top, running across and back to the | bottom of the big basin for another | load. At the top the shovels dump au- wovnan«an,\- and run along a channel | the length of the building. In the bot- | tom™ of this level channel are many ! holes closed by sliding s and any | one of these can be ¢ opened in | order to let the coal into the proper | shute. With this long string of shov- | els continually revolving an immense amount of coal may be brought up from the basin under the side track and dumped in the respective bins at the top in a very short time.—Water- bury American.
