SANTA'S WAYS "Now," said Santa Clans, "I am plan ning to have my magic cars and planes meet me nt the places where there Is no snow then I can dash off to the houses around those parts and then get back to you, my lovely Reindeer." MV e under BtanJ," said the Reindeer, "we know your ways. Ah yes. you have everyt hing ar ranged and planned for and nothing can pre ent Santa Claus from pnying all his visits "I should hope Santa Claus. "I wouldn't miss Christmas visiting for anything: "When they put up apartment bouse without fireplaces anl chim neys I sv that I could manage with the dumb-waiters and the fire escapes. "Yes, Si; n t a Claus can fini a way to visit the children on Christmas Eve. "He wouldn't miss his fun for any thing in the world! And I have the loveliest photograph gallery in my memory." "What!" exclaimed the R-Indeer. "Yes," said Santa Claus, ' I have and I certainly do love it. Th re are peo ple who have many photographs of the people they care for about them. "They have photographs which have been taken of people at all ages and in all sizes, too. "WMl. if Santa Claus had photo praphs of all tLe people he cared for he would have so many, oh, so many, that 1 don't believe there would be a house or a palace or a hotel big enough for all of them. "A photograph gallery means, you knnw, a place filled with photographs or pictures. "Now, as I said, I have all of mine in my memory. In other words I re member just wliat every sleeping child looks like. "I see them all, too, when I'm back home and looking at thein through my magic telescope as they smile and jump up r.nd down with delight at their gifts "But when I want to see these chil dren later on I can close my eyes and think of them and I can remember them so clearly they are so much in my memory that I can see each one with my eyes tight shut! "That is the way I keep my photo graph gallery. And it Is a nice way. too." So Santa Claus chatted as he went fnim place to place. He came out from cn old whitt house a little later smiling and laugh in", his red cheeks azlow and his merrv eves twinkling with delight. "Oh, Reindeer," he shouted, "I had the biggest and Juciest orange left for me by the fireplace, and lumps of sugar for all of you ! "Little Dolly did all that for us. Isn't she the dearest ever? "And Reindeer. I left a note for Dicky five houses down. "You know Dicky asked me how it was that he had heard the bells Jin gling from my Reindeer when it hadn't snowed last year and wnen the ground was hard and dry, "So I wrote to Dicky and told him Mrw It was. Of course he said that he knew I had ways of getting about, but be hadn't u c a i & ii & jwu jingling bells and he had heard them. lie was quite sure of that. "Well. I told him that your bells carried their sound all over the world on Christmas Eve, Those are the bells that Santa's Reindeer have. "Ah yes, though you may not be right over each single house though I mav have to leave you here and there for a bit the sounds from the sleigh bells carry and where they do not carry there are the echoes from them "I wrote him all about that." So Santa went to house after house. and what stories he had to tell the Reindeer of Christmas trees and beau tifu! decorations. i "In some places they have the ' Christmas tree all trimmed for me and tlfc-n I put the presents on," Santa i Claus told the Reindeer. "Oh, they have different ways," said Santa Claus, "and I llise them alL "Heich-ho, It's Christmas time! "Heigh-ho, It's the merry Christmas season!" shouted Santa Claus gaily. Li W lliteii All "Dolly Did That." Practical Suggestion. Of course," said the man who Is in love, "my mind is on my oil wells and other business Interests. But this girl is devoted to art. I suppose 111 . have to take her to hear the opera." "Don't do that." replied Miss Cay ' enne. "If you want to make a seri ous impression take htr to see the oil wells." Washington Star.

Finds Jobs for Many Veterans. A total of 4,194 Jobs were found for veterans in Kansas City, Mo., by the employment committee of the Ameri can Legion, according to a recent re port submitted to the organization.

According to the figures nearly 1.C00 of the positions found for the former service men were permanent positions, the remainder representing the short time Jobs which are usually afforded veterans of more or less transient character. These Jobs, committee members declare, have permitted many men to retain their self-respect, be cause the work forestalled requests for charity or relief.
