LEGEND OF ST. MIC.
4 Beautiful Story of How His Love
for Children Gave Him Q Per-
petual Lease on Life.

Many, many years ago, 80 long II
fact that the date cannot be approx
mated, there lived in the South par
of Germany. near the village o.
Claughs-which has long since disap
pesred-an old bachelor BY the name
of Nicholas Christian Kringle. Hi.
history exists only in the Legendary
traditions among the peasants of South
Germany. and is as follows: Being OF
. devous disposition and vowed to
celibacy. he constructed a small hut
Just within the edge of thick wood.
furnished it with the rude necessities
q celibateis home and for occupation
cultivated small garden in the sum-
mer. and in the winter lie gave his
time to the children of the neighbor-
hood. He acknowledged but one pur-
pose n life, and that was in securing
the happiness of the little ones. Every
one within a great circuit knew him
Familiarity. and the children loved him
with devotion only born Of the ten
derest care aud attention to their
wants. Every year the attachment
between Uncle Meas he was called
and the children grew stronger and
his love, which he reverently regarded
As duty. became 60 strong that when
death came to summon him he ap.
pealed to the gods to grant him a
new lease on life. His entreaties de-
layed the impending stroke OF Death,
and finally brought to him a celestial
messenger to whom he related his story
of love for children and that he might
be allowed to live blessing them until
al the little ones Of the world were
grown to full estate.
So pure and devout had been the
life of Uncle Mic that his entreaties
were considered by the court of
heaven, and Death was ordered 10
pass over the house Of the
good celibate; but. as the
law was inexorable that all
souls shall return to Him who gave
them, he was carried up in a whirl-
wind of fame to the great white
throne. The Lord made him a saint |
without submitting him to crucible |
of death. and as a reward for his piety |
gave him q commission to visit the
earth once every year. on the evening |
preceding the anniversary of Christs
birth. that he might again carry joy
to the hearts of all children, and in
the continued manifestation of his
loving care remind them Of his ex-
istence and home behind the stars.
During the winter season in South
Germany red shadows are often seen
against the sky, seeing which the little
one run to their parents exclaim'ng
''Der pelznickle koomt, den ich sehe
das LIGHT welches Won Semen grossen
rock der flammen sheint." (Uncle |
Nick is coming, for see the light |
which shines from his great coat Of

ing ready for nominations Mr.. Morgan OF
Morgan in pleasant speech proceeded
TO define what kind of man our stand

a motion TO nominate Mr. Faulkner by
reclamation; but this was opposed by
Mr.. Morgan who said he was opposed
to any such mob like proceeding The
motion was withdrawn aud the vote
cast by counties, Berkeley, Jefferson
and Morgan. each casting their whole
vote solid for Faulkner. Mr.. Faulkner
was appraised of his nomination and
escorted to the stand by committee
appointed for the purpose. He accepted
the nomination and promised that he
should be found worthy of the honor
conferred on him.
