In the older states of this country, where such facilities already have
been provided upon a fnirlv adequate scale, existing corporations by en
larging their operations may cover the broadening field sufficiently well,
but in the younger communities too much regulation may easily deprive
jomniunities of needed service.

Mines Giv* Output of Gold to Make
Tinsel.
The great Klondike gold mines are
being worked day and night to supply
the demands of another room ol the
great glacier, where thousands ot |
workers sit striuging strips of shredded
gold on threads to make tinsel trim
mings for the trees. They wear great
spectacles on the ends of their .ittie
round noses, for this work is a great
strain on the eyes. Kaeh string is one
mile long, and each gnome completes
three of these a day. • . :
Silver tinsel is also made in the same
way. The fashion in tree trimming de

No Storerooms For Santa Claus.
Santa has no need for storerooms in
whicti to stack tils finished toys and
tree decoratious The demand is so
great aud so immediate that directly
things are finished they are packed,
loaded on to immense sleighs and snip
l>ed to-special stations which he lias
situated lri every city all over the world
and usually In such places as depart
ment stores or toy aud candy shops.
Sometimes -when all these places are
filled lie vvcn.h'tdes tlieiu in odd coi ners
i»f poopltS's' tibrises. That is how It
couies that one often accidentally will
tind things tucked away in the most
unusual places.
Years ago he would use his reindeer
to carry the loaded sleighs to stations,
and often they .were so worn out by
overwork "that they were uutit for
driving on Christmas eve. But now it
is quite different. Since motor trucks
have come Into nse Santa has bought
328 to do this heavy work for bin).
Something ought to be told the kid
dies of the character and habits of the
little toilers who make their toys. They
are an entirely different kind of crea-'
tures from any which we. who do not
live at the north pole, have ever seen
They are very small <>f stature, with
large heads and queer elfin faces. We
would call them gnomes or elves, but
Santa calls them tobies. They have
bright mischievous eyes which dance
with delight over their pretty bandi
work, the merriest laughs and sweetest
little voice* wtneo keep tip a contin
uous accompaniment to their tasks.—
