It was five o'clock on Friday afternoon and darkness had fallen, but the electric lights on ITnclc Harry's automobile made the falling snowtlakes shine like little specks of lire. ! "What's up, Undo Harry," called out Jimmy as he bounded downstairs, three steps at a time, pulling- his coat on as he came. Joe canto tumbling after. "What day is to-morrow?" replied | Uncle Harry with a laugh that rang with suppressed merriment. "Christmas!" shouted both boys to gether, and Joe couldn't help adding, "Whee!" just for thinking of it. "That's what's up," laughed Uncle Harry. "Come along. Climb into the tonneuu, Joe, Jimmy, get in front with me. We're going downtown." In a .iiffy the car was whizzing along and the boys were blinking to keep the snow out of their eyes. "Jimmy, how much money have you in your, pocket?" Jimmy drew off his glove and felt In his pocket. "Thirty cents," said he. "Joe, how much have you?" "A quarter," answered Joe. "Good," said Uncle Harry. "That makes fifty-live cents. I have five dol lars. So altogether we have five dol lars and fifty-five cents. That's enough." "Enough for what?" asked the boys eagerly curious. For answer Uncle Harry smiled and winked his eye and opened the throt tle still further. Away they went, fas ter and faster, down the main street. Then they turned to the right on a cross street and again to the left. The houses grew smaller and more crowd ed. Here a woman toiled along witli a bundle of wood. There a small child hurried home, shiveripg, with a shawl around her shoulders. At last Uncle 1 larry stopped the car in front of a brick house In the middle of the block —an oil lamp lighted the window. Uncle Harry jumped out, knocked on the door and disappeared within. The boys were about to ask each other about his strange behavior, when the door opened again and out came Uncle Harry, leading by the hand a little boy and a little girl, both a. little pale and wan, but with big, bright, eager eyes. "In you go," cried Uncle Harry, as he swung the little girl into the front seat; Jimmy scrambled over into the tonneau. "And In YOU go," and he boosted the little boy into the ton neau. "Children," said Uncle Harry, smil ing at the newcomers, "this is Jimmy and this is Joe who are planning to have such a Merry Christmas that they want you to share it. Boys, these children are my little friends, Tommy and Betsy. They are to be our guests to-night." Then Uncle Harry climbed in and away the five of them went, down the main street with its colored lights and illuminated store windows. Tommy's and Bety's eyes sparkled with excite ment. Jimmy's and .Toe's were equally bright; now they knew why Uncle Harry had asked how much money they had with them. It was a great evening's fun. First they went to the toy store. Jimmy and Joe took Tommy and Betsy in hand and made them pick out the toys they wanted. Uncle Harry fol lowed and paid for the toys as the CHRISTMAS CHEER HAS BEEN SHATTERED [Continued From First Pago.] has encountered since the failure of James S. Kuhn and W. S. Kuhn, who were credited with being prominently identified with the bank in 1913. A run at that time continued for several days, but strong interests went to its assistance and the doors were not closed. Recently it became known that the Banking Department was paying par ticular attention to the bank and an effort was being made to interest per sons who had not hitherto been iden tified with the institution. Old stock holders surrendered their holdings arid it was understood a month ago that the situation won much impro%'ed. The announcement to-day came as a dis tinct shock. Chartered in 1862 The Pittsburgh Bunk for Savings was chartered in 18t>2 with a capital stock of $300,000. In 1901 it absorbed the Ileal Estate Savings Bank and in 1908 the capitalization was increased to $600,000 by a stock dividend from surplus. The officers were; President, W. W. Jones; vice-presi dent, J. F. G limes; secretary and treasurer. A. N. Voegtly. Depositors of the bank included many persons with savings accounts, although the institution did a general business. Deposits on September 15, 1915, were $10,945,713, according to the report made to the Banking Com missioner. On the same date the sur plus was reported at $403,514. Hun dreds of the depositors lived In the South Side section of the city, al though its business was widely scat tered through Allegheny county and Western Pennsylvania. 75,000 Deposit ors« It was stated that the bank had approximately 75,000 depositors, of whom fully 4 5,000 were persons living in other parts of the country, as the bank was among the first to take sav ings accounts by mail. Among the local 'depositors were many school children. President Jones issued the following statement : • "After consultation with the State Commissioner of Banking it was de cided to close the doors of the bank this morning. The failure of the bank was duA entirely to the depreciation of some securities held by the bank In various corporations. Owing to the failure of J. S. & W. S. Kuhn, Inc., in 1913, there was a large depreciation in the market value of securities of cer tain corporations, but It was hoped that, these companies would soon bo rehabilitated and the securities again attain their former value. Through the personal efforts of the president, half a million dollars has been added to the assets of the bank since July 7, 1913. "Alter consultation with the clear- I children selected them. Tommy and Betsy fairly bubbled over with.glee, i The boys were having the time of their lives. It was the best fifty live cents' worth they had ever had. ' Then off to the restaurant they | wont, all five. Tommy and Betsy hesi- ! tated as they entered, but the good-j natured waiters soon made them feel' at their ease and Uncle Harry was so I happy and merry and running over with good cheer that the children soon forgot their bashfulness and, laughed at Uncle Harry's jokes and ; watched the goldfish in the fountain 1 and gazed at the gaily-decorated j Christmas trees, as if bewitched. Itj was a merry party, this party that the i boys and Uncle Hairy gave to Tommy I and Betsy on Christmas Eve. At last the children had their fill of turkey and cranberry sauce. Uncle j Harry paid the score and followed by j the smiles of the waiters, and the diners in the restaurant, they return ed to the automobile and soon were whizzing home. "Good night," called out the boys, as Uncle Harry stopped the car in front of Tommy's and Bety's home. 'Merry Christmas." "Merry Chris'mus," called back the children as Uncle Harry opened the door, shooed them into the house all loaded down with their toys, and fol lowed to pay liis respects to their father and mother. An hour later Ulicle Harry and the| boys were warming themselves before j the fire in the library. Father ami mother had come in to listen to their experience. "As I was saying,"—it was Uncle | Harry who was speaking—-"Christmas j Day is, of course, supposed to be the j anniversary of the birth of our Sav-| lour, although historians are not at all i sure that Christ was born exactly 011 j December 25. December is the rainy | season in Judea. and neither flocks or shepherds would have been likely to be in the fields of Bethlehem. But the exact date makes no difference, any more than in the case of Good Friday and Easter. The important fact is! that it. is the day set aside in memory of the Nativity. "The the Christian world cele brates Ch'ristmas. It Is the time of merrymaking and good-will. Last Christmas, at several points along the battlefront in Europe the soldiers of the armies left their trenches and joined in singing Christmas hymns. A good-natured snowball fight follow ed. Would It. be possible for men, yesterday and to-morrow, thirsting for each others' blood, to get together to-day in this way unless imbued with the Christmas spirit?" The fire had burned to embers. Si lence fell on the little group. Then Uncle Harry rose to go. "Uncle Harry," said Jimmy, "this is the best Christmas Eve 1 have ever had. Let's take Thomas and Betsy out again next Christmas Eve?" "Let's do it every Christmas Eve," added Joe. "All right," smiled Uncle Harry. "We will reserve Christmas Eve for Tommy and Betsy." Then he shook hands with father, kissed mother who happened to be standing under the mistletoe and slap ped the boys on the back. "Good night, all,' he cried, "and a Merry Christmas. As Tiny Tim said, 'God bless us, every one.' " Copyright 1915 by the M-C Syndicate.' jjng house committee yesterday after noon it was thought best that a re ceiver be appointed in order to con serve all the assets for the depositors. H he bank has a fine line of assets in addition to the securities mentioned, and I believe that a 50 per cent, divi dend can l»e paid to depositors within sixty days." School Children Lose Receiver Getty also issued a state ment in which he declared that the depreciation in the Kuhn securities was the cause of the failure, which could in no way be traced to the man agement. The savings of some 30,000 school children are included in the bank s deposits. By this plan school children would take their money to school on a certain day of each week and a col lector for the bank would call at the various school buildings, giving them credit on their books for the amounts deposited. This practice was in effect for years and many thousands of dol lars had been deposited by the chil dren. It was said that scores of suc cessful persons in the city who began saving in this way have continued their business relations with the insti tution ever since. Declines to Discuss Failure William H. Smith, State Banking Commissioner, who was in Philadel to-day, declined to discuss the affairs of the Pittsburgh Bank for Sav ings, except to say that the institution had been closed by order of the de partment. Mr. Smith referred all re quests for information to the Attornoy General's department, whose repre sentative. Deputy Horace W. Davis is In Pittsburgh.

Failure to bring back Reed is one of the most glaring Instances of the local police department's Inefficiency, Dr. Mealß has declared, in decrying the use to which the fund for the "apprehension of criminals" has been applied. "My understanding is that OUle just went down there to Hopewell, Va., that new munition factory town," said the mayor elect. "The department here sent his photo down to the Hope well police department, I'm told, but In the meantime the chief and his lieu tenant In the Virginia town got in wrong In some way and were arrested.

Pshaw, smiled the mayor elect; "why, I suppose that was done as Mr. Bowman says, because of the unsettled condition of the city budget" Mr. Bowman yesterday declared that this really was the reason, although alleged dopesters rather saw in this action a covert threat, of Lynch and Bowman to change Dr. Meals' attitude on some probable police appointments. The mayor elect, it is said, doesn t. favor the retention of Ibach and White as city detectives. Messrs. Lynch and Bowman, it Is understood, prefer to have both retained, although they are said to be particularly anxious about Ibach.
