WHY SANTA
DIDN'T COME
a Christmas Story For Good Little
Girls and Boys.
BY HOWARD EARL.

Copyright, 1901, by Hamilton Musk.1
- VERY child who reads this
story doubtless remembers
the time, not long ago,
- when Santa Claus appar-
emily forgot to put In his
or her stocking the toys that had been
especially asked for. when. in short, IL
really looked In the morning as though
Santa Claus had actually failed to
come at all. Now. the fact is that Santa
did not come, and, though the news OF
his failure was suppressed at the time,
am at last able to reveal the secret.
One day shortly before that Christ
mas Santa Claus was feeling very blue
because Prancer and Dancer were get
ting old, and Bitten was so much "oh
his feed" that 1t was very doubtful
whether the reindeer team could start
on its great annual present delivery
run on Christmas eve. Santa knew
that millions of children would be very
much disappointed if he did not visit
their homes. He had received such a
lot of letters and telephone messages
from good little girls and boys asking
for drums and dolls and bicycles and
all sorts Of toys that big tear or two
rolled down his bearded cheek as he
thought of the sad looks the children
would wear should he fail to come.
Suddenly Santa's face frightened.
"Sayw he shouted. whats the mat
ter with my trying one of those new
naughtymobiles? They never get old
and stiff in the joints like Prancer and
Dancer and are never of their feed
like poor Bitten. The reindeerless age
has come, and / must be strictly up TO
date. I'll order a naughtymobile this
very day."
When the beautiful machine came.
Santa was as tickled as little boy
with q new red wagon.
de was so anxious to take spin
in his big new reindeeriess toy deliver!
wagon that he did not wait for the
automobile teacher to come and SHOW
him how it worked. Leaping i'll. he
turned the power on suddenly. and the
machine gave such jump forward
that poor fat Santa bounced up in the
air like a rubber ball and then nearly
bounced of into the snow when be
came down on the seat again. He biz
his tongue terribly, too, and you know
how that hurts, but he had no time to
think of it because the machine was
Tipping toward the north pole like the
lightning express going down grade
Dozens of explorers are anxious t.
make dashes for the pole, but as it i:
very icy and very hard none of then
would care to run into it with an auto
mobile going a mile minute. Santa
, Claus felt exactly the same way abou
| it, and, giving the steering gear ,
quick twist. he just missed finding th'
pole by about two inches and dashed
straight for his big toy factory at th'
| same terrific speed.
"Heavens! l wish somebody'd moy'
that building out Of the way, and mov'
IL mighty quickr' he thought, clinch
| ing his teeth and giving the steering

smash, and there won't be any Santa
Claus left, eitheri Whoa! Haw! Geew
The automobile swerved sharply to
the left on two wheels, ran over a polar
bear that didn't turn out quick enough
and then made q bee line for the big
barn and yard where the reindeer were
kept. When they saw the strange thing
coming, the reindeer snorted In surprise
and began paving the snow. Bitten,
who was rather ugly because he had
the stomach ache, jumped the fence,
lowered his head and charged straight
toward the machine, which doubled
him up like q jackknife and sent him
flying over the barn as easily as q boy
would bat rubber ball. Poor Blitzenl
He never knew what struck him. AS
for the other reindeer. they kicked up
their heels, broke down the fence and
ran for dear life just as Santa and the
automobile, or, to be more exact, the
automobile and Santa, tore the barn
doors from their hinges, roared through
the barn like cyclone and then start
ed straight for the south pole, 12,43O
statute miles away, as IL they were
wanted there, and wanted badly.
"Hi. hi! Head US off, somebody;
head us Off" yelled Santa Claus.
He tugged frantically at the steering
gear and tried to shut Off the power,
but all his efforts were in vain.
Zip! Bang! Bumpty- -bdmp, bumpty-
bump! Zip! Whir-r-r-r!
"Stop US! Whoa! Back! Steady,
boy; steady! Naughtymobile? should
say so-the very naughtiest that ever
got ioosew poor Santa Claus cried.
Zip! Bumpty-bump! Whir-r-r-r! On
and on they sped. Santa Claus was
powerless, or had too much power, and
the machine never stopped until it
reached the south pole. This took lot
Of time, and, as Santa. of course, had
to walk back those II, ,430 statute miles,
he didn't reach his toy shop and the
north pole and the dear old reliable rein
deer until about the middle Of Febru-
airy, all of which explains why he and
the reindeer failed to make their usual
toy delivery trip on that particular

not get all the things you had asked
him for.

David wrote in the Psalms, possibly
referring to Solomon as the type of
Christ: "The kings of Tarshish and of
the isles shall bring presents; the kings
of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts"
The reason for the tributes to Solomon
is given in Kings, where 1t is stated,
"And all the earth sought Solomon to
hear his wisdom, which God had put
in his heart, and they brought every
man his present, vessels of silver and
vessels of gold and garments and ar
NOR and spices, horses and mules, a
rate, year by year."
In another place David speaks Of
gifts as a tribute to majesty. He says:
Vow and pay unto the Lord your God.
Let all that be roundabout him bring
presents unto him that ought to be
feared"
The pagan festivals which were be-
lieved by some to have suggested the
Christmas celebration consisted Of
feasts and the giving Of presents. To
celebrate the nuptials Of Esther King
Ahasuerus "made a great feast unto
all his provinces and gave gifts accord
ing to the state of the king" Gifts Of
that nature could only bear the mean
ing of generous token Of good feeling
and good will.
Long before the Christian era the
Greeks celebrated festival In mid
winter when presents We're distrib-
uted to the children in the name Of the
household gods.
Whether the ceremonial gift be cost
ly or plain 1t bears with it a meaning
which has no relation to its value. and
the gifts of the rich cannot have deeper
significance than the gifts of the poor.
Emerson said: Rings and other jew
els are not gifts, but the apologies for
gifts. The only gift is a part of thy
self"
