SANTA CLAUS STILL RErGNs.

SANTA CLAUS STILL REIGNS.
The Mothers Club, an organiza-
tion of ladies in the city of Philadel-
phia, held special meeting THE other
day, called by it's president, the stated
object being ito discuss the advisability
of removing from the nursery calendar
St. Nicholas the patron saint of child
hoods Christmastide.
According TO the newspaper accounts
of the affair for over two hours the
stately danes composing the club CON
centrated their individual and com
bined wisdom ON the subject and
gravely debated as to whether it were
wise or unwise ITO continue" as one
of the executive committee expressed
it, ito delude ghe childish mind with
this fiction" Sooner or laI.er our
children will discover that the story
is mythical remarked one of the
presidents, and / verify believe
that it leads them to doubt our truth
fulness." Only one member, and she
but am ordinary private in the ranks,
led the wiseacres of THE association up
against knotty problem, by insisting
that if THE throne of Old Santa Claus
were to be upset a clean sweep must
be made and all fairy lore and nursery
rhymes banished
1t will naturally occur, it seems to
us, that if this is a fair specimen of
the work OF this Mothers Club the
association is a sort of counterfeit
Assuredly it does no., represent the
10 dher most of Ills wish Ito remem-
per. There comes back to THE oldest
of us through all the intervening years
at this holiday season Ehe memory of
such a happiness and pleasure with
which mother and Santa Claus are so
closely interwoyen THAT a mythical
CLEAN of golden fairy land still fingers
DER it. The children of to-day are
experiencing that pleasure now. Who
would, who could rob them of it?
Twill be a futile task, however, for
any one or any association to under
entrenched in the heart of childhood
to be uprooted al this day. There's
nothing mythical about the jolly Old
Saints hold ON the holiday faith of
humanity. There's a reality about
his reign also that is strong and
practical. Who can fail to see and
note it? AT this glad Christmas sea-
son it is everywhere about us. AT his
mandate heart and hand are opened
with a cheerfulness and promptness
that greet the command of no earthly
sovereign. During his short annual
reign he changes the whole aspect of
life. His is a reign of joy and glad
ness, of giving and greeting.
Let MIN reign. Golly Old st. Nick.
Thousands of his happy little subject
are wafaing in Joyous anticipation for
his coming There's a music in the
jingling of his oncoming bells and the
patter of his gallant reindeers' hoofs
oHtrivalling the swell of the grandest
organ to childhood's ears, and no
dictum of stately dame or learned
professor can dispel the glorious Wis
ion of chimney and pack which night
ly mingles with nursery dreams. while
childhood is childhood st. Nick will
reign.
