Faith in the Santa Clans myth hasn't
entirely faded ous Of the juvenile mind,
though even the very youngest repre-
sentatives Of the present generation are
apt to be skeptical. The proof:
Little Bettlna, three years old, has a
rag doll with whom her relations are
particularly tender and sympathetic.
A morning or two ago this doll was dis-
covered near the fireplace in shocking
condition. She was black in the face
and, in fact, black all over, and the
smell Of SCOT about her was very strong.
1t was a mystery until Bettina was in-
terrogated. The condition Of the doll
made her look little rueful, but she
frightened up, and said:
Il frpered to Patty all the things l
wanted for Christmas and sent her up
the chimney to tell Santa Claus."-Bos-

The earth has grown old with Its burden of
care
But at Christmas IT always Is young
The heart Of the Jewel burns gstrous and fair
And its soul full OF music breaks forth ON the
air
When the song n the angels Is sung
II is coming. old earth, 1t is coming tonight!
On the snowtakes which cover thy sod
The feet Of the Christ child fall gentle and
white,
And the voice OF the Christ child tells out with
delight
That mankind are the children OF God.
On the sad and the lonely the wretched and
poor,
The voice OF the Christ child shall fall
And to every blind wanderer open the door
Ola hope that he dared not to dream Of before
With a'sunshne OF welcome for all
The feet Of the humbest may walk In the field
Where the feet of the Hottest have trod.
This, this is the marvel to mortals revealed
When the silvery trumpets Of Christmas have
pealed,
That mankind are the children OF God.
