HRISTMASVIL.I.E, Santa Clauslanfl, .
Dec. 12, 1303. Tour ChristmasvlUe
correspondent has Just had an Inter
view tvith Santa Claus at his country
seat on the Taffy River, and Is glad to
be able to announce that the threatened
postponement of Christmas, owing to the
toy strikes, has been averted. The call
ing out of the Union Dolls and Amalga
mated Jumping-Jacks In September has,
of course, seriously delayed Mr. Claus
preparations for the season, but by yield
ing on a few of the disputed points and
agreeing to arbitrate others, a modus
vivendl has been established by which
all may be In readiness for the celebra
lion of Christmas on December 25. as
usual. It was In respect to this matter
that I called upon Mr. Claus and obtained
the Xollowlng Interview:
2dr. Claus received me in the model
room of his delightful residence at Toy
Ion, on the Taffy River, where be spends
what leisure time he has. I found him
engaged in designing a new style of nurs
ery game called Automobile. It was aa
Ingenious mechanical arrangement In
which an automobile starts at one end of
a road, moving at first very Blowly, but
gradually increasing its speed until near
the middle of Its course, -when It runs
over a number of wooden mannlkins. The
falling of the mannlkins releases a small
zbic policeman on horseback, who starts
in pursuit of the automobile and gains
upon It rapidly, but falls In his purpose to
arrest the occupants, because at the mo- !
ment he reaches the side of the fleeting
vehicle the machine explodes and blows
the whole toy to pieces.
"That will be the most popular toy of
the season If I can ever get It working
safely," said Santa Claus, as he ex
plained the Ingenious mechanism to mo in
detail. "It is extremely realistic and the
explosion at the end imparts to It a sort
of Fourth of July flavor that will prove
most appealing to the small boys of the
day. It has a moral purpose, too. In
teaching the young not to exceed the
speed limit, but I can't get the hanged
thing to blow up without danger to those
who play with it."
"Will you let It go out this season?"
X asked.
Mindful of the Parents.
"Not unless I overcome that difficulty,"
Eald Santa Claus. "I don't want to get
parents down on me for endangering the
lives and eyes of their children, and I am
very much afraid that for a novelty this
year they'll have to be content with my
football automaton. This Is all ready.
Come in here and I'll show you how It
works."
And my host immediately took me Into
the next room, where he Introduced me to
one of the most charmingly Intricate but
delightful mechanical toys I have over
seen.
Twenty-two little mannlkins are lined
up, 11 on a side, In opposing formations.
By touching a button the mannlkins are
xy ujuuiiiut; u. uuiwu cue uioiuuiuua uiu
released and a scrimmage that Is most '
exciting follows. They fall upon each J
other until the whole quivering mass lies
in a huge pile of mannlkins in the center
of tho board. The pressure of another ,
button brings them back to their original
positions again, but(-here the method of
the game appears. The mannlkins are
madfe of three parts each, somewhat loose
ly Joined together, and of course in the
scrimmage some of them are pulled apart
and so Incapacitated for further play.
Their remains are removed from the
board, and tho players left whole continue
the game as before. The game Is contln-
ucd until the mannlkins on one side or
the other are completely demolished, the
side having one or more survivors being
declared the winner. '
"Most ingenious," said L "But suppose
they are all smashed?" -
"Then the game Is a draw," said Santa
Claus, viewing the machine with a com
placent smile. "It's a corking good toy,
I think. Equal to a. liberal education, eh?''
And of course I agreed with him.
"Mr. Claus," said I as we retired to his
library, "I suppose you have heard the.
rumors that have been going the rounds
lately about your unreadiness for the
Christmas season?"
"No," said he, "I hada't heard of that;
Is there such a rumor? '
"Yes," said I, "and It is causing much
disquiet among the youngsters. It has
been stated that owing to your troubles
with the Union Toys, you have announced
that Christmas must be celebrated on the
4th of next July Instead of December 25,
or else tho youngsters will be" but upon
a basis of the half full stocking. In my
own family there Is a great hullabaloo
about it, and there aro about 2C0 pounds
of good, solid boy that will land on my
neck in 'no uncertain manner Christmas
morning if the story Is true."
No One to Be' Overlooked.
"There is no truth in it," said Santa
Claus, instantly. "Ycta may announce
with my authority that I shall start out
as usual on Christmas evo and shall not
overlook a single sock that Is duly regis-
tered In my books. Nor will there be any
reduction in tho bulk of tho gifts sup-
plied. Somo of them, It Is true, may be t
less carefully made than in past years,
because we've had to do six months' work
practically in Btwo. The paint on our j

dry as it ought to be, but I shall leave J
FRQAYy SANTA. CLAUSLAND.
word -with eyery monkey delivered warn-
Ing mothers of the fact and suggesting
that the babies be forbidden to put tnem
In their mouths until after New Year's."
"'How do you suppose the rumor
started?" I asked. "It is rather too bad
to circulate tales of that sort' to harrow
up the souls of tho expectant kids."
"Oh, It Is not at all surprising," re
plied Santa Claus. "Fact is, I fancy I
was myself responsible for it. You see,
when the walking Jumping Jack from, the
Toy Brotherhood came around here and
threatened to tie up the whole Christmas
business unless I acceded to certain pre
posterous demands, I told him plainly that
he could go ahead and call out every u.oy
the place -Then i there,, 111 no Christ-
I. 'We may have to put It off until tne
Fourth of July, but there'll be a Christ
mas Just the same.' I haven't any doubt
that the rumor you speak of has grown
out of that retort ot mine."
"The demands were preposterous, were
they?"I asked.
"Not all of them," said Santa Claus.
"Some of them were quite reasonable.
When the Monkeys asked for an extra
coat of paint and a quality of paint that
would stay on when a baby chose to
try to lick it off, It seemed to me a
wholly reasonable request. I yielded on
tho question of baby-proof paint right
away. When the Plush Dogs demanded
barks Instead of squeaks I couldn't deny
that there was Justice In their request.
No self-respecting dog, whether he's made
of plush or some other material, should
be asked to make sounds like a canary
bird that has been punched In the stom
ach, and I promptly gave orders to have
them all fitted out with barks, or at least
with yelps.
Indestructible Toys.
"But when they-threatened to go out un
less I stopped encouraging Indestructible
toys, in fact, unless I shut down my in
destructible .toy shop altogether, I put my
foot down and declined even to consider
the proposition. There Is a demand for
Indestructible express wagons, steam en
gines and choo-choo cars of one kind and
another, and It Is my place to meet the
demand. I am a sort of purveyor of
happiness to the youngsters of this world,
and If the heart of a youngster Is set up
on an indestructible ice wagon, fire engine
or hook and ladder outfit, I should bo
recreant to my duty if I withdrew them
from the market."
"A very proper stand and how about

the eight-hour movement for the dolls?" I
asked. 1
"That matter we have decided to arbi
trate," Santa Claus replied. "Though, to
tell you the truth, I don't see how I can
abide by a settlement of that question If
It goes against me. A doll Is perfectly Jus
tified In wishing to have the play hours
reduced to eight. Eight hours Is enough
for any doll of ordinary strength to be
played with, but that matter rests with
the children, not with me. I can say that
no doll shall be required to be dressed and
undressed more than SO times In a morn
ing, bjit I am powerless to enforce such a
regulation."
"I see," said L "In other words you
claim that the youngsters are outside of
your Jurisdiction."
"That's it," said Santa Claus. "In this
case my sympathy Is with the dolls, but
I can't really help them."
. "What have you In novelties this year,
Mr. Claus?" I asked.
"Nothing special qutslde of that game
of Automobile and the Football layout,"
he replied. "My letter box has. shown a
gratifying decrease in demands for ex
pensive presents. ' There seems to be a
reaction in favor of the simple things of
the olden times. There have been only
6753 requests for Government bonds; 2763
for opera boxes, 3473 for diamond tiaras.
OnoHittle girl has asked me to send her
a live Japanese baby instead of a doll
and a small boy living In Chicago said
he didn't care what I sent him besides If
I'd only leave either Mr. Morgan or Mr.
Rockefeller In his stocking. But those are
all exceptional cases."
"There have been no demands for blocks
of stock in industrials this year, as there
wero last?" I queried.
"On ' the eontrary, the children woji't
have 'em," said Santa Claus, with a laugh.
"One youngster to whom I gave a thou
sand shares on United States Shipbuilding
Trust has sent them back because she un
derstands they are assessable, and she
declares she has no use for what she
calls ingrowing presents."
At the Same Old Stand. ,
"Well," I observed, rising to take my
leave, "I am glad to bo able to telegraph
such good news home. This has been a
hard year and a great many people are
losing faith in some of our solldest Insti
tutions. " It will be a great relief to all to
hear that Santa Claus is still doing busi
ness at the Old stand and that there will
be no postponement of the festivities of
the Yuletlde."

Say, It's a good ting we called de kid
"Little Duke" after his Ma, Duchess,
for ho has her fine touch. When I was
as old as mm- it x spent more dan flvo

to her, "Duchess," I says, "what do

I says. "He only wants two or treo

I hoped she'd loosen up, and pass mo
out at least a dollar for de lad, but I

"Good," said Santa Claus; "and you
might add to that "
Here Mr. Claus rose up cautiously and
walked to tho door and peered out Into the
hall, ns If to make sure that no one was
listening.
"You might add to that a statement of
what Is yet a very great secret," he con
tinued. "I'm going to be Incorporated."
"What, you?" I cried.
"Yes," he said. "Next year I shall be a
corporation with a capital of 5500.000.000,
divided up into common and preferred
shares. Do you think I can be floated at

"Our financiers seem to be able to float

But p'chee! Duchess she never made
no rough house about de touch our kid
writes in his letter. "Le petit must havo
what he needs for to be like a gentle
man," she says, getting out her check-
bock. "It Is not right for us to waste
money, or to spend It for any polpose
at all," she says, "but wit our son It Is
different. He Is to be a gentleman. If
little Miss Fannie has sent him de red
wristlets she ha3 knitted wit her own
hands to our boy, he must send "her
sometlng in retoln, because well, you
know. By de time Little Duke Is old
enough for to tlnk of marrying, maybe
you and me have saved enough for to

may not make winning footballers, but
dey manages to toln out a gentleman

So Duchess she writes a check for five
slmoleons and she sends it to de house
keeper of Kiddle's school. Duchess has
snuggled up to dat housekeeper all do
time. She says dat de housekeeper in
a boys' school Is rnbre importanter dan
any teacher, and so wit de check Bhe
writes a Jollying letter, telling de house
keeper to cash de check and pass It
out to Kiddle as he needs It; and wouldn't
she please accept do gloves Inclosed?
Dey was a pair sho had touched off Miss
Fannie, and as good as new.
You can't stop dat boy wrlling. In a
couplo of days Duchess gets dls letter
