shouting of the children and the bright
light and the crowd of people, but af-
ter considerable whipping by Santa
Claus and kicking by the horse they
managed to get off the platform and
down to the door. Santa Claus soon
afterward re-appeared and frolicked
with all the children he could get hold
OF. He finally quieted down and began
to give out the presents commencing
with a bod of coal to Judge CleaVeland
and full dressed doll to Rev. Mr..
