gether. and the boys themselves stood
up in the tub. alive and well. There are
some interesting pictures Of this mira
Gle in old books and they represent
three boys standing in the tub, though
only two are mentioned in the story.
But the artists Of that day had taste
of their own and a logic Of their own
to bear it out. and as long as the tub
was big enough for three boys, why not
put three in it? One Of the pictures
shows the innkeeper just finishing his
chopping and st. Nicholas raising the
three boys from the tub at the same
time. or course nobody supposes that
It happened exactly that way. but when
there was a chance tn represent the
whole story in a small space why not2
1t Is thought to be because Of this incl
dent that Nicholas is counted the pa
iron saint of children.
He IL the patron Of virgins. too. and
another story accounts for this. Ger
tain man had three daughters. and his
fortunes were so reduced that he could
give them no marriage portions and
scarcely the necessaries of life When
he was at last az the point ef desnera-
tion st. Nicholas heard of his need and,
coming to the house at night, threw q
purse Of gold in at the window. With
this the father portioned his eldest
daughter St, Nicholas the next night
threw in a second purse. The father
portioned his second daughter and then
watched and discovered the saint as he
was about to throw In a third purse on
the next night Some sort of connec-
ton has been traced between these
three purses and the three gold balls
of the pawnbroker's sign, but it is rath-
er vague and is not important to the
present discussion.
The observance of st. Nicholas day
which connects 1t with the Christmas
custom of this time and country she

gifts which were supposed to hav| En-
left there by the saint. Tt was AN he
custom in certain converts for the
boarders to leave each a silk stocking
at the door of the abbess on the eve of
ST Nicholas. and these they would find
in the morning filled with sweetmeats
or other trifies to show that they We're
held i'm remembrance. Both these hab-
its are supposed TO be derived from the
story Of the three purses given to the
three virgins, though the question may
be suggested whether the story was not
rather derived from the custom. Chill
dren were told that ST. Nicholas threw
the presents for them in o. the window.
and the main point Is clear enough that
he IS the same person as Santa Claus,
who on Christmas eve rides all over
every part of the world where good
children live, with his sledge and his
reindeers and comes down chimneys to
fill the stockings, hung up to await him,
with all sorts of things to delight child
ish hearts. spending all the rest of the
year at his home. somewhere far up

and boiling sugar into candy to dis
