Thero la really no end to tho want! whispered into hla ear and If one can Imagine all of the reqaeeti belnac chron icled on paper It would require yards mnd yard of It. But Santa doesn't put the Itemi down with pen and Ink: he la supposed to be able to remember ererythlnic the name of each little tot. whether or 'not he or she has been (rood, where they Jive, and Just what articles they want to repose In their stocking; on Christ anas morning. Surrounded by crowd! of youna-eters. Jea.h little one standing on tiptoe to a-et a glimpse of the old fellow, and pushing othera aside to tt near enough to receive the genial greeting and give that order which has been carefully rehearsed over and over before leaving Jiome. Jolly Kris Krtnaje sits placidly fanning himself and giving each small visitor the most courteoua attention. o laugh-provoking are many of the requests and the manner In which they aire given, that one wondere how Santa ran reslat enjoying the funny aide of the situation Instead of treating the matter with such seriousness and show ing the deepest interest In all the tota from the tiniest up. Tots Have Special Wants. On little girl modestly asked for a hip and I--00. while another Insisted that she wanted a "pair of boxing gloves."' Pome will remember an additional want as they are leaving, and win rush back with "an a an a picture book, an don't forget aome candy." Some who have never seen Kris Krlnrle be fore are ao overcome when they behold a "really and truly" Santa Clans, with white whiskers, red fur-trimmed cos tume, the little red cap perched "saucily" on the mass of white hair, the Jingling bells and alt that they oulte forget what they "want for Christmas." Numerous letters are laboriously yenned to the kind old "toy-dlstribu-tor." The youngsters find this plan snore convenient than giving orders 'verbally, although In some cases the crumpled and crushed letter remains rlasped tightly In the tiny hand until the benign old. Santa saves the day by asking: "Is that letter for me?" when the epistle Is handed over to the boat, accompanied by a timid -Teeslr." The following letter Is the product of mnch painstaking work and pro longed thinking on the part of an -year-old youngster, who no doubt Is awaiting the fruits of his labor: "deer santa claus "I want a made lantern and a mov ing picture machine a sled a set of sol diers and a ship and a humpty dumpty awt and a painting book and aome yalnta a dump wagon and a horse and fcnggy a act of writing paper a bottell of Ink a pen a plledrlver a atreetkar ea a trsk a autmobel a foxegrandpa book and a buater brown book and a katxandjammer book a water pistol a pestoOice. wU yon bring It Chrlstmasr Surprises Arc Ileelred.

It says: "dere Santle 1 have ben a good boy and I want a tran of cars and a gun and a book please, please antle dont forget me." Whether or not these orders will all te filled complete or If some of the articles will be "back-ordered." re mains to be seen, but there Is no doubt that at least a portion of the wants will c gratified on Chrlstmns morning.

RECALL MOVE THREATENED Justice and Attorney Exchange "Compliments" in Yanlrwlch Case la Jndgo Bells Court, but Dove of Peace Returns. An Implied threat to Invoke the re call on Justice Olson, a charge that the magistrate Incited the prosecution of Attorney Harry Tankwlch. the ex change of the He between Olson and Attorney McElroy, and the utlmste dis charge of Tankwlch. were the features of a sensational afternoon In tbe court of Justice Bell yesterday. The orglnlal charge, that Tankwlch embezxled $600 from five Roumanian laborers, waa lost sight of In an at tempt made by the defense to show that Olson, who was re-elected as Justice of the Peace over, Yankwlch in the late election, had Inspired the prosecution on account of political Jealousies, and had so brought It about that the war rant waa Issued late In the evening in order that his late rival might have to endure a night In Jolt. District Attorney Cameron was called as a witness. He said the matter had been brought before him by Olson, who himself had sufficient authority to is sue the information, had he so desired. Judge Cameron did not examine the witnesses, but relied upon the state ment of the magistrate that there was sufficient evidence. After the arrest he recommended the release of Tankwlch upon his recognizance, but Olson re fused to accede. Justice Olson was the next witness. "You are a Justice of the peace, are your' asked Attorney McElroy. "Yes. and will be for two years after the 1st of January," replied the witness, with an oblique glance at Yankwlch. "L'nlesa recalled by the people." said McElroy. ' "There's no danger of that." Inter jected Deputy District Attorney Page. "There may be more than you think," was McElroy's retort. McElroy had not proceeded far with the examination when Olson told him he was full of "hot air." Olson said be had made written notes of the state ments made to him by the witnesses against Tankwlch. and McElroy de manded an order of the court that he should produce them. Without waiting for the order. Olson announced flatly he would refuse to do so. He was sustained by his col lesgue. The witness said he had sworn to the Information about noon, and the warrant was Issued and served about X o'clock. "Isn't It a fact." asked McElroy, 'that To the Sweetest of Girls Cybciefe Just the Thing for Xmas Every Woman Loves These Candies Sold by All First Class Dealers Imperial Candy Col SPEND the HOLIDAYS AT CLATSOP BEACH HOTELS OPEN ALL YEAE AT SEASIDE AND GEARHART " This is a delightful salt-air resort for rest and recreation where the glories of the ocean in Winter rival those in Summer.

THE TIE IS bJiG MWIFACTCRED AT PITTSBURG, PA, BY THE AM ERIC AX BKIDGB COMPANY. The above cuts represent one of the most Ingenious and useful contrivances known in the history of invention. The Invention Is owned by a ""P" known as the Universal Metallic Tie Company, a corporation backed by many of the leading men of Utah and Idaho, the headquarters of the company being Salt Lake City. ' No Invention was ever received with more favor by the consumer and by the public generally. Leading railroad officials In ail parts of the United States have examined the tie. and pronounce It. In their Judgment, a success. Contracts have been entered Into between this company and five of the leading railroads of the country, to place these tics In service, and already the fast paesengers and heavy traffic of the Pennsylvania lines are almost hourly passing over them. Not only are the leading railroads Interested in the success of this tie, but many of the most Influential United Stales Senators and Government officials are very much In favor of the adoption of such a device, a. aside from the economical value In railroad maintenance. It will prove a great factor In the conservation of the forests of the countryrwhlch are so rapidly disappearing: do ing away, as It does, with one of the most serious drains on our timber supply. Briefly, the advantages of the Universal Metallic Tie are: 1 It will save millions of dollars annually In railroad construction and p7atl tl6-2 It will remove the most prolific causes of railroad accidents, the spread ing, overturning and breaking of rails. . . a. It will prevent many of the most disastrous fires, especially on bridges "V'lt'wTll overcome the difficulties in maintaining a smooth road. bed. as ties and ballasting will remain undisturbed. you requested Constable Wagner to de lay the service until S o'clock, so that Yankwlch would have to He In Jail?" When the witness denied the charge, McElroy said: "I think you did." "You are a liar," said Olson. "Mr. Olson, you are a liar!" shouted tbe attorney. Each man was ready to spring at the other, but they were quieted by the court and made apologies. Olson said he had affidavits reflect ing upon Yankwlch before the election, but scorned to use them in his cam paign. As to the ball of $2000, which the de fense held excessive, Olson said he The Name Imperial on a Box of Candy Means Highest Quality r;i 3 7 I""' f v 'ii Ia iV4 sn 4 1 SS5 tT3 4i Tr'iwtJS $Ttr - M & placed It low because he knew his mo tive would be Impugned. A. T. Lewis was called as an expert on fees In such cases, and said $1000 was not excessive for the work done. Attorney Page asked him what he thought of an attorney who would col lect 11683 when he knew that but J23 was due his clients, but the question was withdrawn. Page argued that the contract upon which Yankwlch relied for his im munity had been drawn without the knowledge of the Roumanians, who thought it was a receipt. 10 Discount on Every Diamond in Our Store WE CARRY DIAMOND RINGS FROM $10.00 TO $1000.00 Any Diamond Ring Purchased at Our Store Can Be Exchanged for a Larger One Allowing in Full for the Price You Paid for Same. $10.00 Silver-Toilet Sets 7 ff reduced to P'UU $10.00 Silver Manicuring Sets reduced to -.
