The Bakers Dozen.
q Truthful Explanation of the Way Thir-
teen Came to be Counted Twelve,
Harper's for March.


Close by Market street (now Broadway lived
and prospered baker, the first man that ever
baked New Year cakes-in fact, the inventor
of them. The name of our friend was Volck-
ert Jan Petersen Van Amsterdam, commonly
known as Baas He was Dutch from his large
feet to his round bald head, and had no re-
spect for anyone or anything that was not
Dutch. He was regular attendant of the
old Dutch Church, but, nevertheless, in con-
slant fear of being bewitched. His wife,
Maritie, was economical even to saving the
parings of her nails. and his gingerbread ba.
bies were always made in imitation of his
Baas was in his shop, dealing out cakes for
small pieces of money called wampum. He
had taken an extra glass of rum in honor OF
St Nicholaus, when he heard a sharp rap and
in walked as ugly an old woman as ever he
had set his eyes on.
81 want a dozen New Year cookies" she
screamed.
well, den, you needn't sbeak SO loud" re.
piled Baas. "Duyvel! I amt teaf, den.''
II want dozen," screamed the old woman,
land here is only twelve
well, den, und What de duyvel is dwalf but
dozen?" said the baker
Il tell you L want one MORE" she shrieked
We'll, den" said he, ''you may co to de duy-
vel und get anodder; you Won't get it herer'
From this time on our bakers wife and him
self were made miserable. Their money and
their cookies were taken away by invisible
hands; their bread either rose out of their
sight or sank into the earth; their famous
brick oven was torn down, and Baas pelted
with his own bricks; Maritie became deaf;
Baas was black and blue from head to toe; and
such life as he led was purgatory. Thrice
the old woman appeared, and thrice was she
sent to ode duyvel." And at last, in his ago.
ny, Baas bethought himself of ST. Nicholaus,
who advised him, on hearing of his troubles,
when he counted dozen to count thirteen.
"py st. Johannes de Dooper, put St. Nicho.
laus is a great plockhead!" thought Baas; and
while he was thinking, st. Nick had vanished,
and in his stead was the old woman for Zone
more, and Baas, remembering St. Nicholaus,
aeceded to her demand, when she exclaimed,
'The spell is broken, and henceforward doz-
en- is Ii, and 10 is dozen.' And taking a
cooky with an effigy of the good saint on it, she
made Baas swear that ever afterward IL should
be Is, as type of the IL mighty States that
should arise out of the ruins of the government
of Vaderlsndt.
1t is well known how terribly st. Nicholaus
revenged himself upon those who set them
selves up against the venerable customs of
their ancestors, and refused the homage to him
TO whose good offices it was owing that this his
favorite city has surpassed all others in beauti-
ful damsels, valorous young men, mince-pies
oliekoeks, and New Year cookies
