THE PEOPLE WHO M1DE IT POSSIBLE.
A merry Chnstmis at Homestead. One
bright ray of sunlight cUncinc across the
bleak snowy hills to illnmine and cheer a
people that have known little but trouble
for over five weary months.
Every preparation had been made to see
that The DisrATCn Jund for these chil
dren would be distributed properly, and go

just where the generous donors most de
sired. That this was done is shown by the
results. Fully 2,400 children were present
at the grand jubilee, and each went home
hugging closely some long-wished-for
article of amusement, of instruction, or of
use.
Probably no such remarkable gathering
was ever known, at least in this district,
and the success of the affair was due just as
much to the well-behtTed little ones as it
was to the several kind-hearted lady school
teachers and gentlemen present

Tertised as 3 o'clock, but fully an hour be

besieged by scores of little oner who were

river, the railroads, the streets and com
mons, until it seemed the hall would never
hold the. hurrying, anxious hundreds of
children, eager to get from Santa Claua
what they had asked for in letters or per
haps prayers.
At 3 o'clock the opposing forces were
drawn up in line. On the one side, behind
a perfect battlement of books, sleds, dolls,
candy, sh es, clothing, tool chests, pictures,
child's dishes, airguns, fancy goods, goods
of necessity, and goods of choice, goods to
eat, drink and wear, goods for the babe, for
the child, and nerhaps a neat warm scarf or
bonnet for rnamma.behind all these stood the
distributors awaiting the attack from over
3,000 children. Those having the distribu
tion in "hand were Prof. Kendal, of the
Homestead schools, assisted by his warm
hearted teachers, Hiss Izenour, the Misses
Bailey, Mies Critchlow. Miss Irwin and
Miss Atkinson, who in turn were assisted
by The Dispatch commissioners.
Animated by the Christmas Tree.
A row of policemen stood between the
two forces, and what a scene was presented
by the children who were held back by
theml There was little noiso at first, but
the Christmas tree was too much for the
children in front, and the rush line gradu
ally edged nearer and nearer the coveted
tree, and bcantif nl and useful presents soon
to be theirs. In that vast crowd of
children, with all their excitement and
pushing, not one was hurt during the entire
tlistribution. There were mere babies there
that had only learned to toddle since "nana
qnit work," yet they held bravely to their J
pl?ce, o race i ut au eiuer sisicr or orutner,
' until they were given what they most
desired.
Shortly after the hour announced for dis
tribution, a shrill boyish cheer arose from
the doorway, and John F. Cox, dressed to
perfection and making a roguish and jolly
looking Santa Claus pushed through the
crowd to the Christmas tree.
Then the fnu and the tronble commenced.
It was at first intended to give away the
most valuable presents by name, and the
several hundred pairs of shoes, and the best
clnthin; were marked with the names of the
children for whom they were intended.
The crowd was to vast, however, that sys
tem was impossible. All those behind
L
wanted to be in front, and alt those in front
wanted to be a little more so, and the press
became so great that the entire disbursing
party was brdilv driven up on the stagJ in
the rear of the halL
l'-easlng All tlie Little Ones.
Then it was that system was abandoned,
and o-ders came that each should cive out
what na Wst suite-l to the little recipient,
while the police were to hurry those who
had received one of the halt, in order to

forgotten. As tlie ladies present knew most
of the children, and pere acquainted with
the most reedy and deserving, almost the
entire work derolved upon them, and they
nobly stood their ground to the last.
"Misses pleathe gimme a doll," said a
five-year-old, reaching up a pair of pleading
hands.

"I wants a sled an' a gnn, an' a bank an'
a bell an' a elefunt," was the amazing re
sponse, delirered with the rapidity of light
ning, that showed the little man's mind had
conned over and over azain what was most
dear to hts troubled heart. He was pacified
with what he could carry, and trotted off,
promising to be back lor the balance.
ho Wanted a Baby Doll.
Another little applicant came trp and in
answer to a question said some'.hing that
sounded for all the world like the Arabian
alphabet backwards.
"Sav that again and sav it slow," said
Me. Kendal, who was -professor in 17 lan
guagesone at a time but not all com
bined. The infant repeated her request slowly
and distinctly, and this time it soundel tha
same, only worse.
"I give it up," said the professor, and
making a, guess at it gave the child a bundle
of clothing, a package of candy and a beau
tiful picture book. Still she stood there
stolidly, her pale gray eyes filling with
tears as she once more propounded her
conundrum, this time in a voice broken
with sobs.
"What is the matter dear?" asked one of
the pleasant voiced lady teachers hurrying
over to the scene.
Again was the rjlaintive incomurehen-
sible request made, and a woman s heart
interpreted whit all the learning in the
building could not fathom. There was a
dash made for some mysterious packages,
and the lady returned, handing an elongated
object with flufly hair ta the child. A broad
smile of delight crossed her tear-stained
face, and the unintelligible little foreigner
hurried out of the hall clasping close the
coveted dolL
The Crush Became Greater.
Toward the last the crush became so great
it was found necessary to drag many of the
little ones up on the stage, where their
yells were soon calmed bv a judicious ap
plication of candies. It was found that the
boys ambitions lay in the line of sleds, air
guns, and tool chests, while the girls
wanted dolls, candies, books, nice little
things to wear, and pictures, but first and
last thev wanted dolls, dolls, dolls. With
all this excitement and fun, there was a
Eathetic side that did not fail to tonch the
earts of the givers.
Where but 1,500 children had been ex
pected, where it was claimed that no mpre
than that number would positively be there,
whv was it that the hall had filled with
2,400 long before the distribution begau?
One glance over the hall answered the
question necessity. The happiness of
childhood had no lodging there. It is piti

cheeks of a child; to see little ones sunken

colorless eyes 'tell too plainly the trouble
they had suffered far too keenly for their
tender years. There was missing the bright
color, the glancing eve, the rounded pink
cheek, the cheerful hearty laugh and dim
pled smile of childhood. All this was gone,
and in place was that which did not belong
there.
The App-al of Children's Eyes.
Prematurely old face, thinly clad, slen
der forms, voices shrill acd broken, aud
hearts subdued and anxious, but above all
did their eyes appeal for pity. There was
that in them that told tarplainer than
words oi what these children had gone
through within the past few months. They
did not know what it was, and no one was
wise enough to tell them, but those eyes of
blue and gray and brown all showed one
thought. It" was the thought that in this
great, big, good-hearted, generous world,
overflowing with good things, there was
something wrong, radically wrong in a

The pathos of it all was not lost, even
when anxiety for a gift gave way to thg
loy of 'possession, and these many'hundred
little ones trudged home, clasping closely
that which they most desired. With every
gift had come a rare smile of gratitude, a
sigh of thanks, and had the many generous
dniuji to thii most successful fund seen for
themselves what ra to bs seen there, or
could they hear the many childish prayers
of thanksgiving that ascended at many a
little bedside, they would have felt truly
that those who give and give freely are
donbly blessed.
Necessities to Be Distributed Tomorrow.
"While toys, candles, dolls and many
articles or clothing were disbursed freely to
each and all, by the advice of the teachers
present it was deemed best to keep the
actual necessities such as the heavier clos
ing, fur caps, shoes and warm wraps until
Monday, when the most needy can be
singled out from the hundreds of applicants
and not one article bnt will tro where it will
do the most good. With this end in view
the distribution will continue Monday at
335 Sixth avenue, corner of McClnre ave
nue, Homestead, when parochial and other
school teachers will assist. All the dolls
aud tbys and caudles have been distributed,
aud betneeu the hours of 9 A. jr. and 2 P.
ai. several hundred dollars' worth of cloth
ing and warm shots will be given to the
mort deserving.
In summing up this most successful fund
and its excellent distribution, one more
word of thanks is due the generous givers
who have made it a success, and lightened
the premature burden of ere thrust upon
the deserving recipients of a most success
ful and most appropriate Christmas fnnd.
