MANY VIEW THE GIFTS.
Crowds of Children Delighted by
The Tribune's Display of
Christmas Presents.
Interested groups of children could
be seen all day yesterday in front of
The Tribune olllce. gazing with bright
eyes upon the many Christmas gifts
temptingly displayed therein. All
seemed to know why the presents
were placed on view and many of tiie
children had a deeper interest in them
than being mere observers. Those who
have not yet started in on the fascinating-
game of word building, and who
saw tlie display, are very apt to have
been quite industrious In that occupa
tion last evening. The children of
Scranton and vicinity arc invited to
come to tlie office at any hour of the
day and see lor themselves whether It
Is worth while lo enter the contest.
There were just .a dozen lists that
reached the contest editor's desk yes
terday, some of them being very well
constructed and of a goodly length.
