people who SeidOm saw trees ana plac-
ed candies and toys on the branches
OF course he could not carry enough
trees in one load for all who wanted
them. but in some homes the fathers
were able to get trees ana have them
all ready for Santa Claus when lie ar
rived, and these the good Claus always
decorated as prettily as possible ana
hung with toys enough for all the
children who came to see tie tree
lighted.
These novel ideas ana the generous
manner in which they were carried
out made the children long for that
one night in the year when their
friend Santa Claus should visit them.
and as such anticipation is very pleas
ant and comforting tie little ones
CLEANED much happiness by wondering
what would happen when Santa Claus
next arrived
Perhaps you remember thai stern
Baron Braun who once drove Claus
from his castle and forbade him to
visit his children? Wen, many years
afterward. when the old Baron was
dead and his son ruled IN his place the
new Baron Braun came to the house
OF Claus with his train Of knights and
pages and henchmen and, dismountins
from his charger. barred his head hum
bly, before the friend Of children.
NV father did not know y0ur good
ness and worth" he said, "and there
fore threatened to hang you from the
castle walls. but I have children of my
own, who long for a visit from Santa
Claus and ! have come to beg that
you VIII favor them hereafter as YOU
do other children"
Claus was pieased with this speech.
FOR Castle Braun was tic only place
lie had never visited, and he gladly
promised to bring presents to the
Barons children the next Christmas
Eve.
The Baron went away contented.
and Claus kept his promise faithfully
Thus id this man, through very
goodness. conquer the hearts Of all.

and gay. for there WIS 10 home in the

The building Of a home calls for
good business mind and business pun
pose The partnership must be in good
faith. There must be an absorbing
sentiment that will continually feel its
interest. courage that viii not quail

sustain it. q cheerfuiness that does not
falter before the monotonous round Of
duties that must be kept up year after
year to establish il. harmony that

Claus carried presents 10 the children
of the GnOme King, and that good
natured monarch gave him in return 4
string Of bells at each visit so that
finally every one Of the ten deer was
supplied. and you may Imagine what a
merry tune the bells played as the
sledge sped over the snow.
The children's stockings were so long
that II required a great many toys to
fiji them. and soon Claus found there
were other things besides toys that
children love. SO he sent some Of the
Fairies. who were always his good
friends. into the Tropics. from whence
they returned with great bags full Of
oranges and bananas which they had
plucked from the trees. and other
Fairies few to the wonderful Valley
OF Phunnyllnd, where delicious candies
and bonbons grow thickiy on the
laishcs. and returned laden With many
boxes Of swectmeats for tbe little ones.
Thcac things Santa Clans on each
Christmas Eve placed in the long
STOCKINGS, together with his toys, and
the children were glad TO get them.
yon may be sure
There are also warm countries where
there Is no snow IN winter. but Clans
and his reindeer visited thc.a as well
as tie colder climes. for there were
little wheels inside the runners of his
sle1cc which permitted Ii to run MS
smoothly over bare ground as on tie
snow. and Inc children who lived in
the warns countries learned 10 know
the name OF Santa Claus as well rs
those who lived nearer to the Laugh
ing Valley.
Gncc. just rs The reindeer were ready
10 start on their yearly trip. a Fairy
came 10 Claus and told him of three
little children who lived beneatIi a rude
tent Of skins on a broad plain where
there were no trees whatever. These
poor babies were miserable and I'M
happy. foF their parents were ignorant
people who neglected them sadly
Claus resolved 10 visit these children
iefore lie returned home. and during
his ride he picked up tie bushy top
OF a pine tree which tie wind had
broken of and placed il In his siedge.
II was nearly morning when the deer
stopped before the lonely tent of skins
where the poor children lay asleep
Claus at once planted tie bit OF pisc
tree IN tie sand and stuck many can
dies on the branches. Then fe hung
some o. his prettiest toys on the tree.
