WHO is SANTA CLAUS?
Tradition Answers with IL Pretty
story.

story.
1t is frequently asked, "Who is Santa
Claus?" Here is story about him that
lets light upon his real character. He
was bishop of Myra and died about the
year BIG. Among his pariShioncrS (so
runs one story there lived Il certain no.
blcman who had three daughters. From
being rich he became 50 poor that there
seemed to him no means of obtaining
food for his daughters but by sacrificing
them to dishonorahIc life. Over and
over again the thought came into his
mind to tell them so, but shame and sor-
row held him dumb. Meanwhile the
maidcns wept continually, not knowing
what to do and having no bread to eat,
and their father became more and more
desperate. When st. Nicholas heard of
this, he thought it a shame that such Il
thing should happen i'll a Christian land.
Therefore one night when the maidcnS
were asleep and their father alone sat
watching and weeping he took Il handful
of gold and tying it up in handkerchief
repaired to the nOblcman'S dwelling. He
considered how he might bcstow it with
out making himself known, and while he
stood irrcSolute the moon coming from
behind a cloud showed him an open win
dow. So he threw in the gold, and it fell
at the feet of the father, who, when he
found it, returned thanks and presented
1t to his eldest daughter as her wedding
portion. A second time st. Nicholas col
lected a similar sum, and again he threw
1t in by night. SO Il wedding portion was
provided for the second daughter. But
the curiosity of the old nobleman was
now excited. He greatly desired to know
who it was that came to his aid. There
fore he determined to watch. When the
good saint came for the third time and
prepared to throw in the third portion, he
was discovered, for the nobleman seized
him by the skirt of his robe and flung
himself at his feet, saying. "Oh, Nicholas,
servant of God. why seek to hide thy
self" And he kissed his feet and hands.
But st. Nicholas made him promise that
he would tell no man.

CHRISTMAS ON
A..
RANCH
BY
Theodore
Roosevelt

One December, while | was ont on my
ranch, so much work had to be done that
it was within n week of Christmas be-
fore we were able to take any thought
for the Christmas dinner. The winter
set in late that year and there had been
comparatively little cold weather, but
one day the ice on the river had been
sufficiently strong to enable us to haul
up a wagon load Of flour, with enough
salt pork to last through the winter, and
n very few cans of timed goods to he
used at special fcaSts. We had some
bushels of potatoes the heroic victOrS of
a struggle for existence, in which the
rest of our garden vegetables had sue
Cumhed to drought, frost and grasshop-
perS, and we also had some wild plums
and dried elk vcniSon. But we had no
fresh meat, and so one day my foreman
and | agreed to make hunt on the NOR
row.
Accordingly one of the cowboys rode
out in the frosty afternoon to fetch in
the saddle band from the plateau three
miles off, where they were grazing. 1t
was necessary to get to the hunting
grounds by sunrise, and it still lacked a
couple of hours of dawn when the fore
man wakcncd me with a touch as | lay
ing hurriedly and brcnkfasting on Il cup
of coffee and some mouthfulS of bread

the barn, threw the saddles on the horses
and were off.
The air was bitterly chill The cold had
been severe for two days so that the riv-
er ice would again bear horses. 1t had al

Beneath the light covering of powdcry

wrinked iron under the horses hoofs.
There was no moon. but the stars Shone
brilliantly down through the cold clear
air, and our willing horses galOpcd swift

ranchhouSC stood, threading their way

found ourselves galloping up Il long.

miles into the hills The crannicS and lit

we could make ont dimly the tracks made
by the wild animals as they had passed

CHRISTMAS IN THE SOUTH.
How the Day Was Celebrated In
OIden Times.

Sixty years ago skyrockets, Roman can
dies and Chinese iirccrackerS We're un

said of the Christmas tree outside of the
old Episcopal parishes. And still the
boys of those early days made a deal of
pothcr by the bursting of hogs bladdcrS
and the firing of shotcuns at the break of
day. The morning cggnog was seldom
omitted in their matutinal festivities.
The old time negroes, the happicSt yco-
many of the world, were never refused
their traditional Christmas dram. There
were then no poOrhOuseS, no charity hos
pitalS, and the benevolent machinery of
these degenerate days was unknown be
cause not needed.
Country cuttings We're all the rage in
the rural districts, and when work was
finished the ncighboring fiddler was
summoned. After no little turning and
sCraping the swains and their sweetheartS
stood up vis-a-vis in two lines. At the
words ''SCt to your partners" they footed
it quite nimbly through the mazcs of the
