CHRISTMAS ANY doubt as to the! inherent Koiifsrosily of the people of the Tinted Stales should be dispelled by the events of tho Christmas season. Kven those misanthropes, who see only the avariee. and ;reed in lilV, eaniiot. ignore the saerifiee, charity and uiananimity exhibited at. the Vuletide. American men, women and children, are in a eouspiraey to make Christmas merry for every needy adult and child. On Christmas day the country over hundreds of thousands of Christmas baskets will be distributed by individuals and or ganizations. Every basket will contain tho very essence of a traditional and idealistic. Christinas. Tlmt means nood food for all, clothing for the poorly clothed, toys for the children and, in many eases, coal for cold bodies and shoes for cold feet. Christ mas is for both rich and lietween tlinsc that liave the tfifts is u pleasure but sacrificing joy that gratifies the soul.

NKW YOTIK. - IHlness people in Wall street who aren't dealing in stocks or brfiius or .indwichcs cannot be convinced that prosper ity is the handmaid of six-miillon-sharo days on tho stock exchange. Haberdashers and bookshop pro prietors In the financial district say their trade is never eo dull u-i when the market is liveliest and barbers complain that they haven't had half a dozen customers all day. Hut in the sandwich shops along the side streets, girU sit at bat teries of telephones taking orders for food to be sent to brokers of fices on days when a big market is boiling. These nro handed to other giris to fill, and stacks of sandwiches nnd poU of cotfeo nre piled on trays and dispatched by messenger boys up elevators and along corridors to the offices where clerks and call boys and bookkeep ers ore chained to their desks by the stress of the market. Wall street can go for a day or a week without being shaved or shirt od, but It must I'M. llusiness Hctwoen Bites. The bigger the market grows, the more specialized becomes the busi ness of serving meals in the offices ofthe financial district. One saml w 1 c h establishments with two branches in Wall street, has six telephone operators in each shop who do nothing but tnke orders to he filled and sent out. i A fH j ;1 K'v 1 The blpger cafes in tho district, where executives dine with some leisure in norma! limes, send wait ers Willi menus through all the of fices in their vicinity on six-million ehure days. The brokers and their associates glance quickly cVr the menus, and each checks il-e ordt-r he wants filled. "Turkey and coffee." says one; "boullhoii and sweetbreads," nn other. Pres ently a platoon of waiters comes up the elevators, trays on Shoulders to si t steaniimr dishi a down or. desks where n lunchers eat a--llu-y may between tcleijj.ne call, and dashes to the nun Yet board und conferences wilh clients. Out in the rooms where clerks und bookeepers sit in rows phon ing nnd acknowledging order.-, sandwiches are bolted at a bite ft-cl coffe? gulped down whenever then are a lew seconds to spare. Mnl-iu-d 1 W illi Klwvt. In rceilt months most brokerai:. houses, which five years ago look ed toward tliree-milllou'-share days on ihe exchange as all but Impos sible, havo expanded their clerical staffs so that they are equipped t" handle the present volume of twice that much trading. The rocont bull market has not put them in rjfcli straits to keep their books up lo date as did that of last spring. Bu the employes still work long into the night, for the bonks must balance before they are closed, and if It is 2 or 3 o'clock in tiie morn ing of the next day before things aro shipshape, the clerks luke the subway under the East river to hotels on the Brooklyn shore irhi-in where they sleep for n few houis, in rooms reserved by the houses which employ them, before hasten ing back at dnwn to be ready for another day. Many n broker's clerk, in such seasons, does not see his family from one week end to the next, but there is no complaining, for the spirit of tiie stock market Is con tagious, and the merest call boy knows that tin years hence bo may be able to buy u seat on tho exchange..
