Uncle Harry and the Boys Enjoy Christmas Eve
"Get your hats and ooats, boys,"
shouted Uncle Harry through the
front door. 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.' "

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

Big Fire Didn't Harm
Dare's Coal
Only the frame structure of tlie J. E. Dare coal
pockets was destroyed in the big fire last week. The
coal was unharmed and business is going on as
usual.
To meet the unusual conditions of loading and
hauling the force of men has been doubled. Ar
rangements have been made to take care of the regu
lar trade and old customers are notified that they
need not order from other dealers but can get clean,
high grade coal of all kinds and sizes as usual.
J. E. DARE
Seventeenth and Chestnut Sts.
next Mayor when he was asked it
there was hny especial significance in
ty Commissioner H. F Bowman's
action in asking Council yesterday to
postpone Dr. Meals' pet detective bu
reau ordinance.
Won't Swear In Ibach and White?
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.
The report was current In city
circles to-day, however, that Mayor
elect Meals might go so for as to re
fuse polntblank to swear In White and
Ibach should a majority of the new
City Council insist upon their re
appointment.
Let us prove to you that we can
furnish the best player for the least
money. Spangler, 2112 Sixth St.—
