For here one sees St. Nicholas
himself, setting off on his Christ-
mas sounds with his sledge
loq^fd down * with toys and
gifts. The gray but merry old
sa^pt in full dress, and hoida the
reiga of such a team of ponies as
boys and girls have dreamed of,
hot never before seen. The
gorgeous magnificence of that
wilderdess of French toysoathe
aledge quite daisies the eyes of
the gaping youngsters who
prune eagerly forward to be as
near as possible to inch delight-
ful treasures. *
Hard by, too, there is a house,
a children's Christmas house,
furnished altoghetber with toys.
yfe may conclude that it is
Nicholas’s residence, and
thyt he is just driving away on
h^gladsome mission.
And what are the toys, these
marvelous, Parsian toys?
Everything that one can think
off glittering beribboned drums
that beat; guns, with bayonets,
that shoot; cannons that go
bang! dolls that walk, cry and
say “Papa!’* and “Mamma!’’
elephants that • swing their
tsanks, shuffle forward and
trumpet; tigers and Itap. that other day, and at that same
growl and gnash their teeth f

There is a report current that
Gatbrie has been assured an ap-
propriation of $100,000 by Cong-
ress for, a post offlee and a
United States Court house. The
opinion is expressed that this ap-
propriation means that congress-
ional sentiment is strongly in
favor of statehood tor. Oklaho-
ma alone. It is conceded on all
hands that the territory has Abe
wealth, the population, the area
and the resources to entitle it
to immediate statehood, and it
is believed that Concrete now
ees and will soon recognise the
justice and importance of early
admission, and that an enabling
act will pass within the next
few weeks with as little oppo
si ion ns the free homes MU.—
