That, at any rate, is the moral to be drawn from this recent affair in New York, where the police raided a show staged by the Society of Tlustratâ€" ors and packed half a dozen girls off to court for performing without benefit of costumes. The judge before whom the girls were arraigned showed good sense in dismissing their cases. His point was that if anybody should be arrested, it ought to be the distinâ€" guished artists who sponsored the show. and not the girls themselves; and most people,. probably, will agree. If such a show merits interruption by the poâ€" lice, surely the men who got it up are the ones who should pay the penalty. The references in Toronto newsâ€" papers to ‘the statement attributed to Hon. Mr. Heenan, Minister of Lands and Forests and Northern Developâ€" ment, Appear to be peculiar, to. say the least, in view of the understanding that it was agreed at the recent conâ€" ference of Dominion and provincial premi®rs at Ottawa that the Federal authorities would contribute on a 50â€"50 basis with the province to all transâ€" Canada projects and to such transâ€" Canada feeder roads that might be designated by Ontario and approved by the Dominion. Now the Toronto by the Dominion. Now the Toronto newspapers ass°rt that no further conâ€" struction of any new roads will be atâ€" tempted by the Hepburn government fcr some time, either on the transâ€" Canada main rorads or on the several fseders proposed. Just what it all means one man can figure out as well as another. Again the story somes from Toronto that Queen‘s Park has called a halt cn. all new road construction in the North. Hon. Peter Heenan is quoted in the Toronto newspapers as saying: "We haven‘t any moneyâ€"that‘s the reason." Again Says No New Roads for the North Ontario has No Money for Road Building, Hon.

"I‘ll bring it in," said Santa Claus, and he went out and came back with a great big speaking doll, exmactly like, etrange to say, the doll which the little girl had nursed in her dreams. "Oh, thank you," whispered the little patient. "Don‘t mention it," said Santa Claus "Merry Christmas." "What did you bring me?" cried the little girl. "I brought you more," said Santa Claus, "than I brought to any other little girl in the world this Christmas morning., ‘"Where is it?" asked the little girl. "I‘ll bring it in," said Santa Claus, and he went out and came back with a "You have taken off your fur coat and you have no whiskers," said the little girl, "but you must be Santa Claus because we stopped outside the door just a moment ago. Aren‘t you SBanta Claus?" "I must be. I must be," stuttered the doctor. This was Christmas morning, and Just at the moment that the little girl pulleéd the bandage from her eyes, the doctor, who had been up nearly all night, opened the door quietly to see how his little patient was getting along. He was surpriseq to see her sitting up in bed, and startled to see, in the dim light of the room, that the little girl was not only looking in his direction, but actu@ally seeing him. "You have taken off your fur coat awake enough to remember that the doctor had told her not to touch the oandage across her forehead, andq sh> tugged and pulled at it until it came Ooff. That wasn‘t very pleasant for, alâ€" though she was only half awake,. she began to remember where she was and that the nice doctor had told her that he was going to try and make her like other children. She was not quite wide All sorts of queer things seem quuel natural when you are dreaming and so the little girl was not very gxeatlyl surprised when Santa Claus told her to / get into the sleigh and holg one of the big speaking dolls on her knee, angq she was not surprised when they went hurrying off through the sky, over lakes | and rivers and mountains and towns. She was a little surprised when she\ began to feel that she was coming to a place where she had bsen before, and by and by, in a second or two, the feelâ€" | ing became so real (she could hear the ' | ; | ! l sleighâ€"bells ringing and Santa Claus shouting) that she wakeneq herself up. stealthily around dim Christmas trees. Santa Claus was abroad; doing his magic work in a thousand ‘homes at cncee. Santa Claus works in the daytime all year round, but when Christmas comes, the poor ol fellow has to work all night long, and no one can figure up how much work he does, for some of it is so very big that it can‘t be measured and some of it is so very small that it can‘t be seen at all, but only felt, and there‘s no use trying to count things like that. The Little Girl Who Service at Talked to Old Santa _ the United Church The night before Christmas turned slowly into Christmas morning. In the houses of the town dim figures crept "I wish I knew," said the doctor. "It is a very delicate business, but there is a chance that it will work. Before we put her to sleen she wanted to know if Santa Claus was coming toâ€"night. I told her that he was, but I wish I knew." "Is there anything I can do now." asked ‘the nurse. "Dou‘t disturb her," said the surgeon, ‘and I will be around early in th» morning to see how she is getting on." "I hope it will be all right," said the doctor. ‘"You say she has never seen the light since she can remember." said the nurse. "Do you think this operaâ€" tion will give her back her sight?" There was an expectant feeling in evetry house, and even in the great hospital, where the little girl lay white and silent in her little white bed, there was quite a bustle of cheerful exciteâ€" ment. A wide, white bandage was stretched across the little patient‘s forehead and eyes. The doctor and the nurse looked at the little figure with sympathy in their eves and doubt- in their hearts. * (By HMHelena R. Wilson» It was the night before Christmas. All Christmas stortes start off that way, because the night before Christâ€" mas is the most mysterious and enâ€" chanting time of all the year, and in cvery house where there are children there thrives a sort of feeling that something is going to happen.
