A WELCOME GUEST IN THE CITY
t 1IU Arrival nml the Itc-
ciptlon nt 111 * I ourt HU HcRiil Mir-
nnil Jlnrtolou * cnlloc-
lion nt 1IH llcailiiimrtvrgi
Amontr the distinguished arrivals on
ono of ycsterdny morning's trains from
the north was an individual who is perhaps -
haps bettor known and cortnlnly baa
more friends in Omaha than nny ono of
the many thousands who visit this city
from ono year's end to another.
That individual was Santii Glaus ,
jolly , rollicking old Saint Nick , and ho
came just as ho has como year in and
year out since the memory of man run
neth not to the contrary , to see his odd
self's warm friends , the boys and glris ,
and bring to them Iho countless Irons-
Hies on which have boon centered for
months their hearts' ' keen desires , and
the possession of which will keep evergreen
green in their acthoiy tin ebbing breasts
tlio momorv of this patron s'lint of the
little folks.
While Santa is such n merry , gooJ-
nntured old fellow , ho Is ono of the most
jeMilous of beings , so far as the friend
ship of the youngsters is concerned , nnd
will no more tolerate a division of it
than ho would part with his great fur
co it or ono of tlio beautiful reindeer at
tached to his immense sloitih load of
toys , for ho could not got along without
ono nny more than ho could without the
other. Hut Santa will no\or forgot the
little ones as long as they remember
him , and ho will not pass from their
memory until time fur till shall bo no
moro and Chribtmnstido is no longer
known on earth.
Uut the holiday saint is not alone
human in his feelings , for his require
ments nro of the material kind as well ,
nnd it in just as neccsbiiry for
him to have a place for a
dispensing bure-ni as it is for
him to hnvo the desire to distribute his
limitless presents among the delighted
members of the rising generation. While
always on tlio alert to discover no\cities
'
and 'to have everything of the latest
and mo < < t apurovcd and desirable make ,
ho scorns to bo opposed to making
changes in his stopping places , iind that
is why it is that ho is making his Omaha
headquarters this your with Ilaydon
Bro.s. . jubt as lie did twelve months ago.
The thousands of little folks who found
him there last Christinas will iind him
there again now ; that is , ho was there
yesterday and last evening , but was coin-
polled to leave for n few days to look
after his little friends in some of the
southern nnd eastern cities but will re
turn and spend tlio week before the
great holiday ivt that locition and por-
sonallv biiDorlntcnd tlio distribution of
the almost endlebs stock of piotty things
that ho brought in with him yesterday
and loft for the Omaha boys aiidgiils ,
and for their patents mid grown-up
friends ns well.
lie made a parade through the princi
pal streets just after his arrivnl , just to
lot his joung friends know that lie was
here , and took aiound with him eigh
teen great two horse loads of samples of
what ho proposed to leave in Omaha ,
and even then ho was unable to show
half of the things that ho has specially
designed for Christmas presents for
1S92. Santa has begun to regard him
self as something of a cotmnorcial pil
grim , but cannot join the order of trav
eling men that limits itself to this coun
try , for ho is u tourist of the world , and
has a host of friends in Europe and
South Amciica , just as ho has hero in
tlio United States. He does not believe
in the usual sample room style of
doing business for ho knows that not
one-tenth of ills little friends could got
in to see him , so ho has adopted the
plan of going out in public , and lie lindb
that ho is able to recogni/o his old ac
quaintances so much bettor by daj light ,
for his sight ib failing a little and it is
probable that by another year or two
lie may have to use glasses. But the
most pleasant thing about it all is the
fact that the older ho gets the more ho
thinks of the little folks , and that is
why ho came a little earlier than usual
thibycur in order to give them nlonty of
time'to look over his stock and find just
what they wanted , so that when ho ro-
turns ho can hand tlio things right out
and will bo able to attend to tnem all
and no ono will bo slighted.
Ho has taken the entire top floor of
Ilaydon Bros. ' great emporium at Six-
teoiith and Dodge sticots. and the hun
dreds of youngsters who called there
liibt night wore bewildered with the
marvelous display , as indeed were the
children to manhood and womanhood
grown , who found just as much to please
and interest them as did the moro re-
cent graduates of the nursery. Ono
couldn't begin to tell of all those won
derful products of the inventor's mind
and tlio skilled hand ot the meclinnic
and artisan. There > vas a miniature
electric motor niilway , complete in all
the most minute details , oven to the
dainty little motor , trolley and overhead
wiro.'with tlio occasional Hushing of an
electric spark , jubt as uon on tlio full-
grown carh on the fttrcets a hundred
times a day , yotthis little car isn't much
blirt'er than your list , but it bu//ed
around the track just as industriously
as you pleaso.
Then there was another railroad that
was operated by a spring , with switches
and depots , and all around were mechan
ical toys of nil sixes , kinds and descrip
tions Thorp wore dancers Unit pounded
elf the livolicBt kind of jifjs , bears and
other animals that would walk , turn
around and soraich their heads or cut
up antics of the funniest kind. There
were dolls for the girls , and such \\atd-
robcs us no dolls over had be
fore. There weio tiny bedroom
with beds , dressers , com-
modcR and everything complete , ' and
they were in all bi/.eb to suit dolls , big
, and little. There were doll buggies. toy '
, , trunks , tables , dibhcs , cabinets , writing
- desks with sliding or folding tops and
- innumerable pigeonholes , musical toys
from n piano to a jowshnrp , stovris ,
kitchen utensils , and everything on
. wheels from a bicycle to a moving cir
cus parade. There was everything that t
over delighted a child's honrt , and it
. boomed that for every old or familiar
article there were a do/.mi now ones.
But don't think that there ib nothing
there for grown folks , for bo it knowi
that under that roof is kept every'
thing that man or woman wants
llie only Pure Cream of Tartar Powder , No Ammonia ; No Alum.
