Old Santa Claus has doubtless
'ssed many funny thing in his
sIu. - he has always had to do
viii "itlidr"n. but ii is suspected
that lac j :ellow shakes himself
with many a hearty laugh as he
looks over the numerous letters
received from his little Mexico
friends. il big budget of requests
was forwarded To the old fellow at
the North Pole yesterday and very
likely he is filling the orders now
The little girl who asked for a
horse and buggy may be disap-
pointed, for Santa Claus says in
all his kingdom he cannot find a
real live horse, so cold Is it. But
the little folks who want re indeers
and doll babies and candies and
dishes will all be satisfied, for
Santa Claus rarely, if ever, forgets
an address. Sometimes he makes
a mistake in filling his orders, but
he has so many children III. SO
many different cliInes to look after
that it's a wonder he gets around
at all.
