TRIBUTE TO OLD SANTA CLAUS
Belief In Him Is the Anchor Which
Holds the Child to
Innocence.
We have occasionally heard of certain
enthusiasts, to give them a dignified title,
who desired to disillusionize the modern
mind of that pretty myth of Santa Claus.
They were fond of taking as their motto,
"Call a spade a spade," and named them
selves "reformers." Adopting the same
n.otto. It has always seemed to us that
their orthography was at fault, and that
they had got one letter wrong. There name
should be "deformers." It has even been
rumored that the advisability of relegating
the old reindeer driver to the region of the
werewolves and headless horsemen haa
formed the subject of discussion In certain
learned coteries. The School Journal, In
deed, has thought the matter so serious as
to give it an editorial which most assur
edly is worth tho consideration of all who
would make the child mind as matter-of-fact
as their own. Are their teachers of
little children so lacking In the finer sensi
bilities and so void of ordinary tact that
they will deliberately set out to destroy a
pontic fancy which Is the joy of youthful
hearts 7 It, seems Incredible. Yet there
muBt be some. For each year brings re
ports of cases where unhumaned they
must be that teachers have upset their
pupils by telling them that there Is no
Santa Claus; that the stories about him
are not true; that tho presents received on
Christmas day are gifts provided by par
ents and friends. The usual result is thatt
the children are greatly stirrea up, ana me
parents become very Indignant at what
they regard as unpardonable "cruelty" on
the part of the teacher.
Are not teachers to tell the- truth In all
things? Is it not best for children to face
realities? Do not we fail to grasp a splen
did opportunity, If we omit to teach the
children to regard the Christmas presents
as tokens of tho affection'' of their parents,
and to give thanks to whom this Is due?
Is It right, instead of doing this, to leave
the children In thalr belief of Santa "Claus?
Tho belief in Santa Claus may bo the an
chor which holds the child to the moorings
of the wonderland of happy Innocence.
Snap It, and you send him adrift on tho sea
of doubts on which. In the wise order of
Providence, It is only man's lot to travel.
Let the children be children as long as
their childhood can be made, to last. Child
hood Ih not a disease, as the practice of
many misguided educators would seom to
treat it. Let It be regarded as the Garden
of Eden, which vanishes with tho first taste
of the fruit of the tree of knowledge. Once
outside the gates of this paradise, no return
Is posrihle; a flaming sword points out to a
life of toll. The Great Teacher's warning
hand Is raised; take heed that you' do not
offend one of these little ones!
Vwhy force the "misery of disillusion"
upon the child? It will overtake him early
enough, anyway. And Santa Claus, alas! Is
one of the illusions first: to pass. Let peda
gogic wlsacres call the' myth a "mistake of
profound Ignorance;" the child lover puts a
higher value upon It; he regards It as a
personification of the idea of love which Is
to make mankind happier; make It a Christ
mas day. The child with the Santa Claus
myth In his hemrt, beholding the evergreen
tree covered with light and glory, and join
ing In the Joyful Christmas songs, feels
and lives what the adult's understanding
cannot graap, save In remembrance. Shall
the adult be robbed even of this one rem
nant of reminiscence of how It feels to be
perfectly happy? Then leave to Christmas
the halo of glory and mystery; leave to the
child the Santa Claus. .
WIhp words are thcBP for those who would
rob childhood of all pleasures in which Im
agination has a place. Is the girl likely to
grow up a worse mother Ix'cause she dan
dles a doll? Will t he boy make a worse
"cowboy" If he bestrides Ills father's cane
and calls it a horse? Current Literature.
SINKING READY MADE TUNNEL
Notable KnalnerrliiK Work Under
Way on the Bottom of'
Detroit River,"
A tunnel is being constructed In a novel
manner for the movement of railroad
trains between Detroit and WJndsnr,
Camvda, beneath the Detroit river. It Is
being built on shore and will be sunk in
sections Into a trench drudged In tie bot
tom. The sections, after they have been
deposited in their cradle of cement and
steel, will be Joined together beneath the
surface of the water. It is to be a tun
nVl of two steel tulies, each of which will
lie slightly over twenty-three feet In
diameter. They are Joined together at In
tervals, by transverse steel diaphragms.
When the tubes have been sunk und
joined they will ba surrounded by con
crete. The construction of a' steel cradle
on the river bottom and the elimin
ation of a coffer dam In the lay
ing of tho tunnel comprlso a method of
sub-aqueous tunnel construction never be
fore attempted. Divers are required to
lock the sections together after they are in
place.
Th.) preparation for floating and sinking
the sections is elaborate. The ends of the
tubes are closed with heavy bulkheads of
wood In which are set valves for allow
ing the water to enter and the air to
escape when thn section Is sunk. In this
way the sinking of the COO-ton section can
be reguluted to a nicety. The sides are
covered with heavy" planks, forming a box
which looks like a huge barge. On top are
placed a number of steel cylinders filled
with air for the purpose of assisting In
keeping it afloat in rase of necesalty.
The under water portion of the tunnel
will be 2.625 feet long and the length of
the whole tunnel, Including the covered
portions of the approaches, will be more
than one and one-half milea In length.

With a break In the middle of the week!
and Invoicing In many of the wholesale:

have been gathering In Omaha for tht;

standstill and prices are about aa interest

Confidence In the trade and In the flnan
clal outlook and confidence In the business)
possibilities of !! has been the keynote
of all the good things spoken by the trav
eling men and wholesalers during tho
week. Several houses have held dinner
for their salesmen and thn situation haa
been discussed by nu n In close touch with
the situation. All of the speakers hav
saiu iiiey iook me cneeriui view. Auiiigsj
looked good to them for IS, ,
Clearance Salea Neat.
Probably thn next thing of Interest In
Omaha trade will be the clearance salea
In tho Jobbing houses. A number t buyers)
are likely to visit the city within the next
week or two. Many lines suitable for Jan
uary sales will be sold by Omaha houses)
at a bargain and enable the retailers to '
take advantage of thn prices made Ira
Omaha to put on big Rules of piece goods.
Before Christmas was over retailers had)
their wlndowa full of white goods and be
gun selling when the stores opened on Do
oemtter 20. It is noticeable that with thai
opening of thn salts there Is strong talk off
advanco In lines. The change Is neV ex
pected for thirty days. Hack orders ra
being shipped and some orders have been, '
placed for January sales. The linen mar
ket has been quiet, but the next two weeks)
may see something doing. Merchants have)
been very conservative In placing their)
orders. The financial flurry made them ver
cautious, but now that the trouble is prac
tically over it is expected that business
will show a big Increase. It Is reported
that after the first of thn year damasks)
will be advanced 10 per cent. Some whole
salers are of the opinion that this thread
la made for the purpose of Inducing busi
ness and comes entirely from the Kuropeart
manufacturers.
"While tho market across the water stilt
shows strength, there is no doubt that they;
feci the need of orders," said a wholesaler,
"I believe they will be forced to offer thelg
stocks at still lower figures, but even If
they do make a reduction It will be very
slight. This is a good time to buy linens, a4

- Many eastern manufacturers and JobberB
continue to announce that prices on various)
lines will hold steady and not move a point
neither up nor, down. Buyers are in thn
market for Immediate wants only.
The trend of the dress goods market 14
Interesting. Veilings are having a remark
able sale for spring. The material Is now
consldeied staple. They will be employed)
to a large extent next year tor separata
skirts to bo worn with white lingerie waists,
A marked general Improvement Is noted!
In the dress goods market. Travelflisf
salesmen who are on thn road claim thai
they are receiving equally as large orders
as they did last year at this time and that
retailers are enjoying a good trade in this)
department.
It Is true that some merchants are a llttls
cautious In placing their spring orders, butt
the majority of merchants, especially thossj
merchants so located that they can ordor
goods from stock at any time, are now
placing orders to cover their early spring
wants. This Is a good indication.
a ... ... t i. . .... ... w.ii-
storm serges are selling, surah serges arf
In equally good demand. Some garment
manufacturers predict that blue serges ar
likely to be scarce during June and July.
This, of course, depends upon business con
dltlons. If conservatism prevails the mill
will be able to supply thn demand.
Stripes are growing stronger each day.
Never before have designs on this ordef
been so greatly favored, and It Is thought
that the reign of stripes will continue
throughout tho entire year of 1908.
Self-colored stripes, made by different
weaves, lead in favor. Herringbone strlpea
are also having a good Call.
Drain nt
Standstill.
Extremely quiet conditions have been noted
during tho week with the druggists, as in
terest has been centered in affairs Incident
to the midwinter holidays. Selling consists
in the necessities of the winter season, sucli
as materials for lotions and-cough and cold
cures. Summing up the actual condition, a
drugglHt says:
"Opium allows no improvement in demand
and continued dullness prevails throughout
the market, notwithstanding the recent re
ductions in the open quotation to 15. Pow
dered is not receiving much attention, but
dealers are not disposed to quote less thani
$0.tiiicdi.l0, as t.k quantity and seller.
"Quinine is unchanged and the market re
mains dull and featureless, with manufac
turers quoting on the old basis of 18c for
bulk in 100-ounce tins.
"Lit lila carbonate is still more or less un
settled under the Influences heretofore
noted. Spot quotations have been reduced,
to E0ftf5c and sales are reported at the
Inside figure, while export orders are said
to have been filled at even less.
"American saffron Is exceedingly dull In
the absence of demand and the quotation la
entirely nominal at 30c.
"German fennel seed Is firmer in sym
pathy with corresponding conditions abroad
and spot quotations have been advanced to
9frc 10c. as to quality, with sales reported of
prime quality at theXJilgher figure.
"Helladonna loaves are in good demand,
and firmer, with the stock of strictly prim
U. 8. P. almost exhausted. The revised
quotations are HiJfUc and for good answer
ing the U. 8. P. test up to 16c Is reported
paid.
"Grlndella robusta Is decidedly dull and
lower, with quotations reduced to SSiflfic,
the inside figure being named for January
arrivals of new crop. The stock of old on
hand Is said to be large and there Is prac
tically no demand.
"Acetone remains dull In the absence of
demand and the market continues some
what unsettled, but quotations are un
changed at the recent decline to 16Vil8,18c,
as to quantity."
The Grocery Market.
Few advances have been noted by tha
grocers during the week. Hominy has ad
vanced Wi cents per barrel, sweet potatoes
from 23 to DO cents per barrel, some varie
ties of cheese 1 cent per pound, dried green
peas 10 cents per bushel, fancy navy beans
i cents per bushel. Among the declines
noted sauerkraut took a fall of almost S3
per barrel, while the "Twin" cheese de
clined 1 cent per pound.
Reports to the grocers Indicate that prima
olives throughout the country are limited
and Indications are that shlpmrnta of
olives now on the way to this country will
lx rapidlv absorbed by the demand. Soma
believe that conditions are such that pries)
will be maintained, despite the prediction
that all grocery luxuries must decline.
Omaha grocers have not been receiving
many canee llutlons of orders given early,
though there. Is a general tendency to cut
down orders In many markets. Tho fol
lowing is a cupping rrom un eastern paper,
which shows the temper of importing con
cerns aa to cancellations: "Uuycra who
have sought to cancel contracts because of
the change in business condition since the
time their orders were placed sm to
have put themselves into an unenviable
position. A prominent Importing house Is
sued the following yesterday: 'As we are
yet annoyed occasionally by some out-of-town
parties wlsliing to cancel sales for
no reason whatever, further than that It
doe not suit their interest to take the
goods, we must here state, and wish to
have It distinctly understood, that we will
not sell in future to any concern who un
justly goes buck on their contract. W
prefer to lose a customer rather than deal
Willi people who will not abide by the
rules of trade.' "
Nothing: Cruel A bunt Her.
Freddy's mother had taught him to al
ways be considerate of animals. One day
Freddy came running In from play, cry
ing out to his mamma excitedly:
"Mamma, I know you'll like the little
girl what has moved in next door, for
she's wry kind to animals."
"Well, son, I'm glad to hear such good
acuount of the new neighbor's little
daughter. Rut In what way hus she
demonstrated to you her kindness to ani
mals?" "Why, we she and I found som
nuts on the ground and were cracking
them to eat when she found a worm In
one of them. And she was so consul
ate of the worm that aha wouldn't eat
It," exclaimed Freddy,
