Judge Estelle, Going to Buy Poor Boy an Overcoat, Accidentally Finds a Man with the Price Happy to Give. Do you know the Christmas question? It has been felt, if not articulated, by hundreds and thousands of Christmas shoppers and It gained verbal form and cortour from lips of a little boy. He and his mother had been shopping all day. They had gone from one blg store to another and from counter of each store to counter, until a small pair of legs were greatly fatigued and a young brain wearled. “Now, just one more gift," sald his mother, “and we are through. A present for Cousin Eddie,” you know, John. “‘Mammi presently observed the tired boy, “do you suppose all these people we are buying presents for, are doing this much for us?" The mother frowned at Johnnle, but swiled when she related to clrcumstance to papa. Judge Estelle was hurrying down the stopped him, a man of considerable wealth. “Come and take lunch with me,” said the man of wealth. “Can't,” replied Judge Estelle. an unbreakable engagement." said the would-be “I have “It's like this," explained the judge. I am to Yneet a woman who is going to buy an overcoat for a poor boy who has been five months In a hospital—typhold and complications. She asked me to help pick the coat and I agreed.” “I am glad I met you, sald Estelle's triend, diving down into his pocket and producing & roll which would have choked a boa constrictor. “I have wanted to give some money this Christmas to some one who really needed it. Glve this"—stripping off two yellowbacks—"to your boy and wish Lim Merry Christmas.” Queer requests are made in most depart- ments of the big shops. The book depart ments in particular hear strange titles and strange names of supposed authors. In walked a girl to a book counter. “I want a book on Improving the com plexion,” sald the young woman. The clerk handed her out several. ““Fhey are not the ones 1 want,” sald the girl, emphatically, "I can't just remem- ber the title. She gurgled a while and then guessed, “It was Five Little Pimples and How They Grew." “Shades of Loulse Alcott!" muttered the clerk. *“Has the poor old Pepper family come to this?" |POET WATSON IN HAVANA Cablegram from Mrs, Watson Denies Brother's Story that He is Insane.

Our National Hymn. OMAHA, Dec. 22.—To the Editor of The Bee: I noticed during the recent Corn ex- position that whenever the Mexican band played the air America, My Country 'Tis of Thee," the audlence invariably rose to its feet to express thelr patriotism. This was especially the case among the school children and teachers and while it is most commendable to show patriotism, it 1s a little discouraging to think that in all that vast audlence there were apparently so few who knew, that the national hymn is the “Star Spangled Banner.” With the flag raising ceremony at the public schools and with patriotism taught as strongly as it 18 we really as a people ought to begin fo learn that the “Star Spangled Banner” is the national hymn of America. If we are going to stand up, let us stand up when the band plays the “Star Spangled Banner.”” It must seem ridiculous to an Englishman, for instance, to have an American audience rise to its feet wheu the natlonal hymn of England, God save the king, is played because the tune'is the same as America, "My Country 'Tis Thee. 1 was surprised to learn that so intelligen @ man as the Hon. Willlam Jennings Bryar in speaking at the banquet recently give: to the Japanese commissioners told how deeply he was touched when a lot of ehil dren sang for him In Japan our national anthem America, “My Country 'Tis of Thee,” and Mr. Bryan and his children Joired 'n singing our natlonal hymn, Really he ought to know better. I do not know of a more wide-spread delusion than this mistaken idea, which is a reflection on the intelligence of our people. F. L. HALLER.
