OIL SANTA. ON THE RoAD
He wanted to find out who deserved hap
piness and lacked the means of happi.
ness. He found an old man in his native
town of Patara who had three deserving
daughters, but had. no portion to give
them in marriage, so. according to the
customs of the country, they would have
to remain single, a most horrible fate.
He got together q purse Of gold and put
it In the way Of the distressed father, who
knew just what to do with it without be-
ing told. He gave. it to lis eldest daugh-.
ter for her marriage portion. She was
wed and the household made happy.
But the GOOD old man of Patara had
three daughters, so st. Nicholas happen
ed around In the nick Of time to help the
other two take husbands. These acts of
blindness and ~liberality afflicted the saint
with enlargement OF the heart, a".l he
kept on slicing It OF for the good of the
people Of Ayra. He became the friend
and patron Of all who wer. il trouble,
ana sailoys would not venture to go on a
difficult voyage until St. Niv1:.aa sent

II ~ surprising 20 note how heavy

and VIII cost s. day. which
amount IL far lower than the per

The rate war stili continues and
