BELIEF IN SANTA CLAUS.
It Will Give Blessings Heaped Up to
Pay You for Your Faith.

The world once contained father
and mother who did not believe in
Santa Claus. They were afraid, too,
to let their children believe in the
blessed old myth, fearing that the
fancy would make them credulous,
or that it would have the effect of
teaching them deceit. Facts which
could be proved and verified these
excellent people insisted upon, and
when town and country were rejoic-
ing, Christmas bells ringing, Christ
mas tapers twinkling and Christmas
carols thrilling, their home was rob-
bed of half its rightful cheer in
their strenuous determination not
to be imposed upon by Santa Claus
or any of its train.
But to turn to our original thought.
Did the parents who would have
none of Santa Claus gain anything
by their resolution to be rigidly
true to a tangible and material
order, or clinging to the husk, did
they lose the fruit which was grow
ing within for the healing of the
nations? Many things not suscep-
tible of proof by the evidence of
the physical senses are really true
in that higher realm where the i'm
agination rules. One of these never
dying, er-failing things is Santa
Claus, and year by year the weeks
over which his scepter is extended
are weeks of rare beauty and time
when goodwill everywhere shines
in mems countenances and is the
handspring of their lives. Children
see and feel this wonderful festival
of love on the earth, but they can
not enter into it fully, and so those
who were wiser than we, in good
old days fragrant in memory, chris
tened the Christmas season, when
the yule-log burns, and the holly
CLEANS, and the world is glad, as
the special gala-time of Santa Claus.
Believe in him all you can and he
will give you blessings heaped up
and running over to pay you for
your faith.-Harper's Bazaar.
Don't forget that the people whom
you owe like to give presents, too.

called on our best friends in the
mining cabins and settlements, and
received our friends from the min
ing cabins scattered up and down
the frozen creeks.
"At2 p. NJ, when the darkness
was settling down in the valleys,
several hundred miners met by
agreement at McCafthy's. It was
the only building in Dawson that
could comfortably hold a large as
semblage Of people. Mac had pre-
pared q programme of events for
the day and we had each Clipped
in an ounce of dust toward defray-
ing the expenses. The sawdust had
been removed from the floor and a
score of candles and lamps were
arranged about the room. McCar-
thy himself wore a boiled shirt in
honor of the occasion. On broad
board table along one wall of the
room a luncheon had been arranged
for the Christmas eelebrators. For
half hour after arriving at Macs
we were busy stamping snow from
our rubber boots and walrus hide
shoes, peeling off extra coverings
and in general hand-shakings and
more Merry Christmasings.'
"'Now, boys, fall right in and
tickle your gizzards over there,
shouted Mac urbanely to the crowd.
"There was room for only fifty
to eat at time, SO while one squad
was standing up and eating at the
table, the rest were sitting about
on the benches. We told stories
of other Christmas days in other
camps, talked about what the peo-
pie in the States were doing, won
dere what had transpired since we
heard from there five months be-
fore) wondered who was dead, how
election had gone, and what the
people would say when we go back
with our heaps of gold and stories
Of how rich we had struck it.
"At last the last man in the
crowd of Christmas celebrators had
been to the long table and had filled
up on baked beans, fried pork and
bacon, Goldfish balls, macaroni and
coffee. Then Mac read the program
and the entertainment proceeded.
A dozen men made speeches.
few of them genuinely humorous
appropriate to the occasion.
America and GOD Save the Queen
were sung and resung. The Nor
wegians and Swedes sang their ma
tional songs, and the sounds of the
first Christmas celebration in the
Klondike were carried on the wind
down among the icy crags of the
lonely, frozen Yukon. It must
have been SO degrees below zero
when we pulled our fur caps on and
strapped our heavy garments about
US late that arctic night and went
trudging home through the snow to
our cabins along the creeks"

The children at Bethlehem are
told by their mothers that on Christ

sings above the place where Christ

hundreds of children may be seen
in the open air looking up to the
sky, waiting to hear the angels sing.

(of Norfolk fsme) fixed an associa-
ton once in great shape that tried
to sit down upon him by giving
meeting at his own track on the
same date Of their advertised meet
ing giving far more liberal purses
than they had ever offered and, of
course, the horse loving public turn
ed out to his meeting in body
making it grand success while the
association found themselves in the
soup with neither entries or specta-
tors and they we're mighty glad to
come around and beg him to dis.
continue giving meetings which he
did, but they did not try to sit down
on him any more.
In case neither OF these
things are done, I predict that
genuine racing, that is clean honest
sport such as we all desire to see,
will become dead letter or a thing
Of the past and will be narrowed
down to very commonplace contests
between old saddle plugs, scrub
ponies and mules, thereby resem-
bling more the Indian pony races
among the North American tribes,
where they bet blankets, saddles,
guns, knives, pistols. ponies, and
even women and children, more
than the races among our own peo-
pie in other countries.

At the annual meeting OF the
Maui Racing Association, which
took place in the courthouse in
Waikiki ON the 9TH inst, the new
secretary, assisted by loud shout
ing colleague, neither Of whom ever
had horse on the track here in
their lives, and in all probability
never will have, took it upon him
self to take the program, which had
been previously arranged by an
executive committee of three gen.
tlemen, appointed for this purpose
and proceeded without much show
OF regard for the likes, dislikes, or
opinions Of anyone else present, to
alter, cut, slash, trim, and lop off
here and there until it did not much
resemble the original program that
had been carefully arranged by the
aforementioned committee of gen.
tlemen; few mild protes tations
from those present being scarcely
needed at all in fact, assumed about
the same kind of dictatorship over
US as the late President Barrios Of
Guatemala fame did over his sub
jects.
sincerely hope that it will not
result as disastrously to him as it
did to the Guatemalan who sud-
denly found himself with his brains
lying scattered around on all sides
Of him from coming in contact with
"a pistol bullet. But | hardly an
ticipate such serious results, because
we are not quite so belligerent up
here on Maui as they are down that
way and we are also more long
suffering under our dictatorship.
Among the things that they
Topped off was $50 from the free-for-
all trotting purse, making it 500
instead of $3.50 as it had been ar
ranged by the committee, they argu-
ing that 500 was enough for this
race.
Now, / would like to ask any man,
either horseman or any other kind
of man, what sort OF purse is
500 to offer for free-for.al trot,
and that, too, in an event that only
comes off once year? Why, the
mere mention of such thing would
be high handed insult to third
class Chinese "paka pic" fiend or a
Barbary coast tin horn gambler.
The other trot, which was ar
ranged by the committee, was not
changed, it being the magnificent
sum OF $75 for the 3O5 class. have
promising colt that can beat 3:05
but will make him earn his oats as
a saddle horse before l will ever
start him for such a messly sum as
that.
1t looks now as though when the
4th OF July, 1898, actually comes
that the new secretary and his loud
shouting constituents may be called
upon to contest some of the races
with their own large strings OF
horses which the public never saw
or heard Of
| would also like to inform the
aforementioned gentlemen, and l
hope that the management in Homo
lulu will take a gentle hint, too,
that this too frequent plan OF theirs
of sitting down on the horsemen
and using them as If they were

trously to themselves, and never
