novelty. While the children we're gath
cred about the tree, just before the pres

came running in with . message an.
nouncing that Santa Claus had started
out from Chicago with his sled and rein
deer team, bound for Whittier.
Az he reached every big city along the
route messenger boys arrived with tels-
grams announcing his progress. The
| last dispatch announced his arrival at
Sacramento, where the absence OF snow.
the dispatch read, made his sled and
reindeers useless. So he set out for Los
| Angeles ON q bicycle. Sure enough,
few moments later in rode the happy
old gentleman, bag and all, astride
| safety wheel.
