Burned to Death as Clothe_s;gatch Fire Kimball, S. D., Dec. 10. — Mrs. Michael Stadler, aged 54 years, was burned to death by her clothing catching fire, while at home alone this moraing. Her charred body ‘was found on the kitchen’floor by a milk boy who entered the house when no one responded to his knock. It is not definitely known how the accident happened, but from charred bits of clothing found on the cellar stairway, it is supposed that fire com- municated to her dress while she was in the act of placing paper into the heater as bits of burned paper were found on the cellar floor and the door of the heater was party open. Mrs. Stadler was almost totally blind, but could find her way about the house and perform some duties. ) | McCormick and Willcox [ Meet at Gridiron Feed Washington, Dec. 10.—Vance C.

R. GROH. | “Ha-a-ha-ha-ha-a-a!” Santa Claus’ hearty laugh rang out | through the toy department of a big Omaha store. So 1 went over, to where he was. There he in his little house, dressed in his red suit, ruddy-cheeked, twinkle-eyed, white- whiskered. 5 H Most of the children of Omaha seemed to be on hand, a happy, won- crowd. Anxi- business to transact with the good man. They trooped in one door of the little house and. out the other. With his jolly laugh Santa greeted them, shook hands, patted them on the head. He asked them what they wanted for Christmas. And they told him gravely. Sometimes Santa and some little tot would discuss the de- tails of the desired present in low voices. T \ She Must Have Dolly. | “A dolly that open 'n' shuts her ,” whispered a little girl. “Afl -right, my dear,” cried Santa. “And you vant brown or light hair?” “Brown,” please,” said the shy miss. | “*“Ach, yes, brown. And vith natchu- rally curly hair, eh?” - Young miss nodded and went out with a happy smile, while a lively boy who had been waiting anxiously be- fore Santa boldly demanded “a train o’ cars on a track.” Santa asked several questions so as to know just what kind of train to bring. Next came a little girl who wanted a set of dishes. “‘Ha-a-ha-ha-a!” laughed Santa. “A set of dishes! You're going to have a party. Mrs. McCarty had a party; Mrs. McGee forgot her key.” ; To every child the jolly old fellow'| gave a stick of candy. And it is im- possible to say whether thé children or the grown-ups enjoy Santa’s hos- pitality most. > A big kettle hangs over his fire- lace. In it is something white that looks like snow. / “You know, children, I haf to eat, all de time, snowball soup and fried icicles so I can keep cool enough here in Omaha. Up at the North ‘Pole vhere I live it is so cold that all the children haf to tie little stoves under their feet so they von't get so cold that they turn into icicles. Ha-a-aJla- ha-a! Yes, yes. Hello, my dear, and vhat do you vant me to bring you?” This little girl whispers in Santa’s ear. Z “Ach, yes, some picturc books,” cries Santa. ‘“‘Vell, now, you make a list of the books you vant and I'll be sure to bging them.” Next comes a boy who wants a pair of skates. Santa examines his shoes so as to know what size skates to bring. A Tittle girl asks for a new coat and Santa inquires just what kind of coat. The next is a boy who wants | a steam engine; another puts in his request for a foot ball. Just goihg out the door, he remembers and hurries back to Santa to tell him that he wants “a big one.” All the time Santa Ciaus is laugh- ing and talking, the jolliest old fellow you ever saw. “Christmas eve, that's vhen I come,” he says. “You can look, but you must keep your cyes closed. Ha-ha-a-a- ha-ha!” Five minutes at Santa Claus’ house with the jolly old fellow and hig lov- | ing little friends will take you back through the years to your own child- hood. Is anything in life quite so won- derful as a toy store viewed through childhood’s eyes? 1 remember when I spent several wecks before Christ- mas, going every day into a certain toy store to look at a little cross- legged desk and a tool chest that 1 had asked Santa Claus to bring me.

One-Cent Postage Rate for Letters 0f Local Delivery Washington, Dec. 9.—One cent postage for local first class mail de- liveries and a zone system of rates for second ciass matter which is ex- pected greatly to increase the charges for magazines and other periodicals having a uaupn-wldc circulation are pruvidcrj (pr in the annpal postoffice appropriation bill as virtually com- pleted today in committee, The measure, carrying appropriations totaling about $37,000,000, probably week, Under the 1-cent postage provision the rate on letters and other mail matters of the first class when de- posited in any postoffice or branch postoffice or letter box or postoffice in the delivery district, for deliver within the limits of the postoffice, city or rural delivery districts, would be cut in half. The ‘zone proposal for handling newspapers and magazines, which now pay a flat gate of l-cent a pound is regarded as one of the most radical changes in postage rates in years. It divides the country into eight zones, with rates chargeable ranging from 1-cent for 300 milesito 6 cents for 1,- 800 miles or more. The bulk of daily newspapers, the committee believes will not be affected, because they do not circulate beyond a 300-mile radius, Made of_ Shark Skins Washington, Dec. 10.—Use of shark skins as a substitute for leather is being investigated by the United States Bureau of Fisheries as a pos- sible solution of the high cost of ani- mal skins.

Florida fishermen will supply large shark skins for the experiments. The government is furnishing the fishing| tackle. Men in the lighthouse service also have been directed to catch sharks.

Rail Officials See Prosperity in | “Homejfpursions” ‘ Chicago, - Dec. 10.—Unprecedented prosperity among farmers of the Canadian northwest will bring larger sums of money to the middle west this winter than ever before, accord- ing to opinions expressed today by local railway officials, Each winter “Home Visitors'” excursions have been conducted by the Grand Trunk railway, but reports received here to date indicate that more. persons will take advantage of the reduced rates this year than in the past. Reports from Calgary and Edmondton and points farther west indicate that large numbers of persons from that sec- tion have already departed on these trips and that hundreds of others have announced their intentions to do so. One very noticeable effect of these excursions on trade is pointed out in the report of automobile concerns. These roborts state that already hun- dreds of cars have been sold to farm- ers of the Canadian northwest and express the belief that many more will be ordered. . This movement from western Can- ada does not have the featyres of celebrations commonly known throughout the United States as “Old Home” weeks, because it extends over a longer period. It is really more sat- isfactory, railroad officials declare, for this reason, Only Southern Ports Are Open to Mid-West Exports Chicagn, Dec. 10.—Anneuncement today that all eastern roads were in the gmbargo on shipments to the At- lantic_coast, left only New Orleans and Galveston as the commercially Hrztlical trade routes to Europe for middle west munition makers and other war goods producers. The entire list of Atlantic scaboard | ports is closed by the embargo on shipments, cvery line ir:.the Eastern Freight association having issued an order which strikes at the export business. Makers of certain goods for domestic use are affected by the em- bargo, as well as makers and produc- ers of goods for export. The embargo applies to certain car- load shipments with some exceptions, chief of which is coal, a commodity seldom shipped from the middle west to the Atlantic. Several of the roads have announced that the embargo will not be enferced against food for con- sumption in the United States. BELGIAN POLIGY IS LEFT 0 U. §. PUBLIC No Further Action Will Be Taken Unless Demanded by National Sentiment. BERLIN WILL NOT BUDGE - \ Washington, Dec. 10. — American public opinion will decide what steps, if any, the government shall take to follow up its protest to Germany against the deportations of Belgians. Chancellor von Bethmann-Holl- weg's conversation with Charge Grew of the American embassy in Berlin has convinced State department offi- cials that Germany's formal reply to the American protest will hold the deportations justified on the ground of fioc‘g‘al necessity. ! It was admitted that the action of the State department in publishing the text of the protest was for the pur- pose of sounding public opinion on the subject. \ Officials were not greatly_encour- aged by today's press dispatches out- lining the forthcoming German reply. So far as can be determined from this summary the reply contains little, offi- cials believe, that had not been said to Charge Grew before the formal American protest was sent. Whether Germany's reply will be made public or arrested with a further note by this government, will not be decided until the attitude of the American public has been learned and the actual text of the German answer has been examined. ] / The State department is conscious that it already has exceeded the con- ventional bounds of diplomacy in mak- ing several informal ‘as well as for- mal representations in the case, but [rit is eager to emphasize its position in every reasonable way. The personal views of President Wilson are yet to be laid before’ German officials by Ambassador Gerard, now on his way back to Berlin, Official information shows that the deportations are continuing. Some of the statements reported to be con- tained in /the German reply differ widely from the official information reaching t'.c department, especially as to the severity with whiclf the depor- tations are\being carried out. The de- partment h\s been convinced that the employed an! those of independent means have been taken indiscrimi- nately with the*unemployed and the dependents. Officials are satisfied with the ac- curacy of their information. One offi- cial said the department was ready to go ahead with that as a basis if it were decided to take further action, The general failure of the represen- tations of the United States, Holland, Spain and the vatican is causing in- creasing concern here for the continu- ance of relief work in Belgium, espécially in view of the second foffi- cial statement from England pub- lished today that Germany’s action was threatening the whole foundation of Belgian rclief. a % s il AL e 2220 “There’s the Place calls,”’ An Extension Telephone™ “"You spend a great deal of your time in this | room upstairs.
