New Yorkers Claim That Amer
icans Expend Over $100,
000,000 For Holidays.
' NEW YORK, Dec. 22. Between
the first and the twenty-fifth of De
cember the American people will part
with $100,000,000. It will go to the
buying of Christmas gifts. For years
the newspapers and the merchants
have been preaching the gospel of
early shopping, they have told of the
wider range of selection at the begin
ning of the season; of the freedom
from crowding and the opportunities
for prompter and more efficient ser
vice which Is rp-Mved by those who
'come early and avoid the rush. But
tho nearer approach of the holidays
brings a zest to the Christmas buy
ing that makes the great majority
prefer the hurly-burly of the last few
days of the season.
The average reader has no concep
tion of tho immensity of the Christ
mas trade. In New York there are
a half dozen big express companies,
each of which has cars of its own,
freight yards and piers, scores of
stables thousands of horses, thou
sands of wagons, vans, etc., and thou
sands of men. A single depot of a I
Single company can handlo 45,000
pacnages In one day. Yet with all
this vast distributing machinery and
the addition of every other addition
al horse and wagon in the city, they '
nre still overwhelmed by the tre
menQUS tide of Christmas goods that
sweeps, out t)i the shops Into the
homes pf the city, America is the J
greatest glfthuylng nation on the
globe, and New York city Is tho
sigreatest gift-buying place In Ameri
ca, , Two Hundred Million Gifts.
Tho packages that go out from
the stores of tho land tell of the rise
and fall of fade. Who doe3 not re
call the chunks of coal that were so
widely given in 1902 a commentary
on the result of the coal strike?
Then came the little rocking chairs
and after thorn the Teddy bears. But
their vogue Is past, and this year the
doll resumed its place as the gift par
excellence for the little girl. Santa
Claus has distributed 5,000,000 dolls
over this broad land, and it is ex
pected that every ono of them will
get Into tho bands of somo little girl
mother before Kris Kringle's Jour
ney back to his North Polo home.
It is said by tho department store
people that tho sale price of tho aver
ago Christmas gift is porhaps less
than 50 cents. Comparatively few
of them are sold for more than $5.
No ono has over taken a consus of
Christmas giving, but careful and
experienced observers would placo
the total number of presonts given at
about 200,000,000, about one-half of
which are bought during the
seven days of the season.

Unknown Man Fills Stockings
of Scores of Poor Children
Every Year.
KANSAS CITY, Dec. 22. "I wish
to remain unknown to you, doctor."
With these words the real, original
Santa Claus bade goodbye to Dr. E.
L. Mathias, probation officer. In a
moment the door of the detentlbn
home had closed behind him.- But
he will be back.
Thirty years ago this man's mother
died. And every twelve months,
when the season of good will to all
men shows on the calendar, he re
members her. Last year ho visited
Kansas City and played Santa. He
means to repeat this Christmas eve.
' It Is an interesting story that this
man told Dr. Mathias. Wishing
some practical way of paying tribute
to his' mother's memory, he hit upon
tho plan of distributing toys to child
ren at Christmas. The first year ho
spent a few dollars. Each succeed
ing year he, made the donation
larger . This year ho will glvo away
nineteen dozen toys, such as rocking
horses, drums and horns.
"I was hero last year to make my
distribution, and you furnished me a
list of names," the man told Dr.
Mathias. "But some of the child
ren may have moved. Besides, as 1
am to glvo more this year, I want
more names. You furnish the names
and a man to direct me and I will
'have the toys and a wagon. But,
doctor I must remain unknown to
you. No publicity.
The visitor is tho same man who
aroused so much comment last year
when he carried Into effect his novel
charity plan.1 Christmas eve was
wintry and he caught a bad cold.
But here ho Is again. Last year he
baffled all attempts to learn his
identity. A quick Shorlock Holmes
guess at him might say that he Is
cither a German or an Austrian and
most likely a traveling man, probably
for somo firm of importers. Ho is
of medium height, thickly knit, with
a brown-gray beard. He wears glass
es. If the children can find him be
fore Christmas by this description
they are welcome.
His parting Injunction was secrecy.
But some of tho men who wrlto
things for tho papers were right in
tho room nt the time and that's the
way this story came to bo printed.
SINGLE .MEN WIN.
Defeat Married Men In Rowling Con
tost. A bowling alley contest, held on
the local alleys on Sunday, cost tho
"Married Men" tickets to "A Bache
lor's Honeymoon" at the Masonic
Opera House, the same evening.
There were Included In the married
men's lineup some who thought they
could play tho tenpln game and allow
a professional bowler a liberal handi
cap. But the single men showed
them that young blood counts and
led the way throughout the qon
test. Considerable Interest was
aroused by the event and the build
ing was crowded with spectators,
thus making the defeat more humi
liating. Somebody suggested that
the defeated team should assume a
new title "Has-Been's" and
should they muster courage, for ran
other trial, that will likely stick to
them. The Bird team has challenged
the "single men" and the contest will
be rolled next Sunday.
The appended score shows what
happened to the "Married Men."
