Christmas Gift

This Chlstmas rtori really happened.
It occurred at an orphan asylum sit
rated In tl?e Vuitol States. where a
rnml>er of orphans ami half orphans
?re received. some rkiidmt liens
taken from r<arent* wh,> are una Mo
to provide for then The building*
are located In attractive eroun-ls and
near the margin of oue of America's
most tanntlfvi lakes.
Christmas was coming on. ami the
children at the orphanage were Invit
ed to write letters to Santa Clans,
mentioning such rifts as they would
like to receive on the approaching an
niversary The liovs asked for sleds,
skates. Imts. I?alls and am h other artl
cles as pertain to youugster* of iheir
ape The girls would have dolls, doll
boiises. toy pianos, kitchen sets and
other girl toy*.
ITilda was nine years old. and her
affection* had strenirt honed a? her
years in<TPM?cd They were stronger
than her love for playthings. Most
children at that apr dotibt If there l?
such a person as Snnta Clans, but the
chi'dren of the orphanage, not min
gling with the world, retain the Inno
cen>e of their tmbyhmri and their be I
lief In the while bwrded old gentleman
who bring* the fhr;stmns cifis Mil |
da was :ts Innocent as the rest. Site ?
did not evict ? ' M Santa t'l its would
l>ring the children every (hire th \v ask j
I'd for. but >he <11;1 lieliete that he
would n\id their tellers and <lo what
lie could for all of them.
Hilda's If lit was very different
from all llie res: Instead of asking j
for toys to ; t. \ with or sonic oma j
mont to dc orite Iier |H-r*ou Hilda I
xmiie to s.i nt . (Ian":
I v :v f >i : iv OhMrtma* present this !
rear ? f ?? ? nam' i
The letter w.~s sent with the rest to '
S i - i t lis Who transmitted them
is one of tli >se mysteries that is as In |
ex 1 >1 i >>le .is sant:i Clans himself ;
Nevertheless h<- re-eivod every letter
?nd sot himself to work to gather In I
the thir.es the . h Idren risked for. Rnt j
ni da's letter puzxled l:itn. He cMld
cram a doll in a sto. kine or hang it
on a Christmas tree, but he i-ould d>>
neither of th<-se with Hilda's mother
Reside*. Hilda's mother lived some I
distance away, and it would cost a I
pot*l den I of money to bring her from
her home to the orphanage. If Santa
Clans could bring her in his sleigli >
drawn by the "eight tiny reindeer"
the case would Ih> simple enough, but
there was only n?om for the toys in
the sleigh. and human beings are not j
nsed to riding np brick walls, over ,
roofs Mid <lown again on the other i
side No wonder Santa CKus wns i
puzzled. It looked as if rillda's pres- |
eat could not l>e given her. That
would Is? too Kid. because she had
asked for nothing else, and If *hc
ootl'd not see her mother she would
pvt no Christmas pift.
Hilda. innocent oh|l?l that she wn?.
didn't trouble Iter little head about nil
till*. She didn't roall7e that she had
piven Santa Clans a knotty problem
to solve She hail simply asked for
?what she wanted. Just as she won Id
a?k for something In her prayers l>e
fore poinp to bed.
Well. Christmas eve came at lasf.
The ? hi'dtvn of the orphannpe always
re'-ei'e their presents on the nlpht l?e
fore Christmas, and Santa Clans
brines the pifts In person On Christ
mns ere the children gathered in the
s ohoolroom and while waltlnp for San
ta Clans snnp a Christmas carol. They
had s ntvely finished when there were
a .ilttp'e of slelchbells without, a ring
at tjie d<virbell and a kicking of snow
off Kr'? Krlnde's boots
l'very child rushed to the door at
once It "is opened, and old Santa
* laus. with a hap of pifts on hia
s;> itMer?. came in. bringing a cold
poff of wind with him The children
followed him brck Into the schoolroom,
win- e 1 large Christmas tree stiwd.
Illuminated with electric liphts and
coven -d with spanples and toys. There
are so many children at the orphanape
t!i t S ni'i Clans couldn't brlnp all the
to>s for them with him and had sent
the larrer ones |>efore
lie to??ed a inuiplnp jack to one, a
doll to another, a mechanical cab to a
third, the matrons and other prown
persons avvi^tinp in the distribution.
lY?or little Hilda did not see her
mother In the room and sorrowfully
r ide up her mind that Santa Clans
could not give her her present. All
the plrls and boys received their pifts
hut Hilda.
When it was all over nilda went up
stairs to do some duty? for belnp one
of the older plrls she was assigned
defies- and while she was at work
she heard voices downstairs calllnp:
"Where's Hilda? Hilda Kntlon. come
here!** *
Hilda went downstairs, and there
stood Santa Clans waltlnp for her
"Are yon nildaT* he asked.
??Yes."
"1 have a present for yon that Is too
Np to he put on the Christmas tree,
so I must plve It to you now *"
He stepped aside, and there stood
Hilda's mother.
She took her little danphter up in her
arms and hncred and kissed her while
the -others looked on. dome lanphlnp.

py reunion of mother and danphter.
TTow did Santa Clans pet the Rift to
the asylum? For an answer for this
you must ask the pood people who

"If tie indications found in the

"On discovery claim the hole show

saw three pans washed which yielded
40 cent* If there Is any quantity
of such gravel it means a paying

30 to 40 days. On our way bark we

"When we left 3R7 claims had been
staked on tie main creek and tribu

above on the main stream tie stak

creek as a whole, Ui* staking is poor
ly done Many claims are staked
short. And in some places the ?tak
ers are entirely off tie creek. On tie
tributaries the stakes have wander
ed much in trying to get the creek
claims until they hitve gotten inaide
the Jaws of the jsips. If tie proposi

be necessary soon.
"If tie Interest wwitinues in tie
