There is a proposition before congress to give the benefit of government aid to Mrs Benjamin Harrison and a number of the leading Journals of the country are taking exception to it.

Foremost among these is the New York Times, which, while admitting that there is no precedent to determine the matter, states that at the same time it is difficult to conceive of the claim on the government which the woman can have who marries an ex-presldent after he has served his term in office. The Atlanta Constitution says that while not entering into the argument it is sufficient to say that the New York Times is not alone in its views.

Good-bye, to Santa Claus. From Francis Moore. 627 Federal street. Everything ran smoothly for "Ru dolph" until noon. He started with LETTERS TO SANTA CLAUS The Times continues to receive and print in the columns of the paper every day scores of letters to Santa Claus, written by the little friends of The Times.

Santa Claus is an old time reader of The Times and he has assured the publishers of the paper that he is greaf ly interested in what the little folks have to say. He says he may not be able to bring to each of the letter writers all the things that form their heart's desires, but he is going to try mighty hard to bring some of the desired articles, and what Santa Claus seeks to do, our little friends may be sure he wHl do. A number of things crowd themselves into the thoughts of the readers of these little letters to good, old Santa. The first thing that one sees and feels is the breadth of consideration that almost every writer has for other members of the family. Unselfishness is one of the world's chiefest of all virtues, and that this trait should be the crowning feature of the little letters of appeal to the giver of joy and gladness to the children is worthy of the encomiums.

It augurs much in the future of the writers of the letters to Santa and means much more when the future considerations of state are at stake. Santa Claus will no doubt give special thought to this very admirable trait of Davenport children. Another thing that comes to mind as the reader goes carefully over the letters lies in the general inexpen-siveness of the articles that are asked of Santa Claus. Nuts and candies are almost always requested and in a great many instances clothing and useful gifts are included in the category. Few things crowd the thoughts of the little ones these days that do not have Santa Claus as the central figure and it must be a poor family indeed that ran not give at least a bit of happiness to the little ones that have come to bless their hearthstones.

And in the letters that have been and are still to appear in The Times these mothers and fathers will find the thoughts that are crowding practically every, action of the little ones and by seeing that at least some of the wants are gratified they will give double pleasure and happiness to their little ones who will look upon the fulfillment of their anticipations as a direct response to their own little letters to Santa Claus. a feeling of "I wonder will they answer If I write?" sort of way. ate his meal and handed his "ticket" to the "man" and It was returned to him Red and Blue Sweater Davenport, Iowa. Dear Santa Claus: 1 am 8 years old. I would like a red and blue sweater, a sled, story book, and nuts, candy and a few orange.

Dont forget me and my two brothers, Ray and George. So goodbye, Santa Claus. Elmer Norgan. 1128 Marquette street. In fact, ho was getting gray waiting "for something to happen" so he could say, "I told you so." I will herewith try to tell you what "did happen." It was a very miserable December day.

A slight snow fell in the forenoon and in the early afternoon it started to drizzle, and by evening it was raining quite hard and getting colder all the time. Naturally during the night it certainly froze up. "Rudolph," (as I will call L'xn), got up the following morning feeling as "we" fellows say, "very much to the bad." As he had noticed while dressing in bis room that the calendar said in bold type, "DECEMBER 13TH FRIDAY," now can you blame him, if he felt to the bad? He ate his breakfast "In silence," that is what ho ate. He said, "I dont believe I'm hungry this morning." So donning his "made by his tailor" he opened the kitchen door and half turned, as he wished his mother a fond good bye for the day, and stepped out in the brisk, coo) morning air. Right here is where he made "the beginning of almost the He had forgotten that it froze during the night.

When he "awoke" to the fact he was "mixed up in a flower garden that during the summer was a credit to the neighborhood," but on this fatal 13th of December it was no credit to anyone or to anything; his hat was not to be seeu. It was found later by a girl In the next house as she was emptying some ashes In the ash barrel. To recount his accident: His foot slipped and he hit last step of the stoop a "cushion car-rom" and then hit the sidewalk leading out of the yard, bounced back and hit the north side of the house and on the rebound came In contact with the good "kind flower bed." Why shouldnt I say "good kind flower bed" for if he had not struck it they would have had to get out a search warrant to locate him. He would As a matter of news it will interest some Iowa people to know that Cato Sells has gone to Mexico again on a tour of pleasure. As a matter of political inquiry a great many other Iowa people are wondering if the Hon.

Cato Sells, a delegate to Kansas City and to Lincoln, is really being inoculated with the theory that two Mexican dollars are really better than one of Uncle Sam's, and consequently makes living there the cheaper. fJERVITA PILLG Will Restore Streoftb, Eaerrj Tit AabltiM thai Nstsre Imai All Bm A Nerve Tonio and Bloc 4 Builder.

He grabbed his much dilapidated hat and made for the door, where he was stopped and told "some one would like to speak to him at the 'phono," so he took down the receiver and said "Hello, who is this?" "It's who are you? I'm messenger boy No. 13, and Mr Done says he will come down and pay you that right away, if you will stay in the office and wait a few minutes."
