A Letter from Santa Claus.

. Dear Children ALI
Each merry Christmastide
For ages past. December mails have brought
Some tons of letters through the Clausland post,
From many boys and girls the country DER
Their wants legion some mere demands
For toys and games, regardless of expense;
A few for others. ask some gift or two:
Each year are many than e'er before.
This Christmas time old Santa writes to you
Gn place of reading all the usual notes.
Suggesting that the order be reversed
That you supply my wants which here l state:
l wish brave lads with tender noble hearts,
Who'll ever think and do and dare the right:
A throng who'll always try to down the wrong;
And boys with love innate, who scorn to hate.
l dear lassies who unSelfShly
VIII think of others joys before their own,
Sweet maids who never waver in the truth,
Who honor age. and help the world to sing
Give me both lads and lassies brave and true.
With strength to hold TO what each knows Is right
This Santa asks of you, to help the world
With Joy this merry Christmastide TO ring.
