GOLD.
who he was, for be died centuries ago?
know that some little girls and boys
are longing to say now:
"Oh we're too Old for that sort Of
thing We know there is no such
v.e ,Sn as Santa Claus. our presents
are given US by our fathers and moth
ers We know all about it.
So far as the presents are concerned
perhaps they are right. but when they
push dear Old Santa Claus ont of the
way as myth they are quite wrong,
for Santa Claus was once as much
alive as any little gil! or boy who
reads this
st Nicholas lived about the year 300
A. D. and he was bishop of the early
Christian church il Asia Minor. The
name Santa Claus is merely a different
form of his real name, just as Carl and
Carlos are varying forms of the name
Charles. and Maria and Marie are OF
Mary.
During his holy aud useful life st.
Nicholas was very good to all the little
children he met. giving them presents
and making them happy in every pos
sible WAY. He is, therefore, to be re
membered at this season because it is
especially the ehidren's feast day, and
Ais memory should be kept more green
in our hearts than the greeHest leaves
of the misttetoe that decorate our
homes.
One story told OF 81 Nichotas re
lates how he found three lovely maid.
ems who We're very unhappy because
there was no Gle to take care of them,
and taey We're so poor they feared they
& might starve to death. The good Old
saint, hearing of their grief went and
I, tapped softly on the window of their
home. When it WAS opened he threw
three purses filled with gold into the
window and hid before the girls could
see who it was that sent this uneXpect-
ed gift.
The next night he did not go, but the
E night following he tapped softly again
and threw three more purses into the
windaN. He waited a like time and
then threw them a third present, but
did not hide quickly enough, for they
saw who it was the kind old bishop
who loved children so tenderly. Or
course, they We're very grateful for
helping them out Of their trouble this
way Some people think that the Gus
tom of giving presents originated from
this old legend.
In Germany they keep the feast of
s st. Nicholas on Dec. 6. At this time
some one dresses in the traditional
costume worn by Santa Claus, gives
presents to the children who have been
good and sorrowfully says II have
ntthing for you to the naughty ones.
