At about 6 in the evening the sound
Of sleigh bells could be heard ring
ing in the vicinity of the Warner
home, which sound continued till the
old home was loaded to its utmost
capacity with happy throng of
friends and neighbors young and
old, which number swelled to nearly

After the pleasant exchange OF
greetings with one another, the merry
company we're called together to lis

sisting of music and recitations, whicl
called forth hearty appaus from al
quarters of the room. Then came
that all important, anxiously awaited
event, toward which We have all
looked in childhood-the coming o
Santa Claus.
A tree with branches droopin!
with every dainty, stood in the cor
ner, and before we could fully ey
the various good things hangi d
thereon, in came that old long whis k
cred Santa Claus who i
his usual good manner remembere
all the little ones, and many, also
who were not little. But this wa
