WHEN SANTA WENT ASTRAY.
Miracle, of the Loaves Repeated For
Washington'* Poor.
The- day of miracles has not passed,
according to the firm belief of a hun
dred or more poor people in Washing
ton. Last Clirlstpias day Almas tem
ple of the Shrlners gave its annual din
ner to the poor. It was a well planned
affair, generously contributed to, and
turned out a big success. But the most
notable thing about It was not on the
programme and made the hit of the
occasion.
While the, Shrlners were feeding
their guests *thcre came to their hall
150 loaves of bread. The huge six
foot Santa Claus was busy cracking
Jokes as he waddled about and took
down the gifls from the Christmas
tree. lu the middle of one of his sto
ries there entered another big. fat San
ta Clans, carrying ii_ colossal basket
full of bread, anil behind Elm "were
three or four negroes, nlno carrying
baskets of bread. One of (he Shrlner
committeemen nt ouce Inferred that
some one hud sent a gift of bread to
be distributed and slgued a receipt for
the 150 loaves. In a few minutes they
were handed around to the heads' of
families, and an, additional smile of
Christmas Joy went around with them.
When the festivities were nearly
over and the crowd had begun to dis
perse a man eauie running In and ask
ed:
"Did you get l."0 loaves of bread?"
"We did." was the reply.
"What did you do with It?"
"Gave It awny."
"Well, that was an order from the
Carroll Institute. It came here by
mistake. But It Is all right. We are
glad you gave It away, and If you ueed
more let us know," and the man went
away, evidently fully satisfied with
the Incident.? New York Times.
