formed the miracle of restoring them
to life.
This was the first act by which ST..
Nicholas proved his love for children.
The second bore still more strongly
on the Santa Claus idea, for it was a
favor that he did at Christmas time.
A certain nobleman of Patara was
so poor that he was unable to give a
portion for his three daughters, and it
seemed impossible that any of the trio
could get a husband. st. Nicholas,
learning of their plight, came at
Christmas time and threw a purse
filed with gold into an open window.
The act was done as stealthily as that
of the modern Santa Claus; the noble
man could not tell who his benefactor
was, but he gave thanks and married
off the eldest daughter.
Next Christmas came another purse,
and the second daughter took a hus-
band.
When the Christmas of the third
year approached, the nobleman's curl
himself on guard to see who it was
that left the money. When the saint
appeared, the nobleman came forward
and asked why so good an act should
be performed in stealth. Then the
patron saint of the children enunci-
ated the great truth that the best acts
are those that are done for the JOY
of doing, not the hope of praise.
Thus centuries ago was proclaimed
what is the best sentiment of Christ,
mas giving. The idea of st. Nicholas
was so beautiful that it took its place
among the great beliefs of the chill
dren, and in different forms it is
found nearly every century.
Both his name and his form differ
but everywhere his labor is the same
In France, Germany, Russia and the
Netherlands he is the embodiment oil
an essentially religious idea, but in
England and the United States his Of
fee is more a secular one.
France always represents Noel as
the Infant Jesus, and in Germany, too
the name Krist Kindel, corrupted here
into Kriss Kringle, means literally the
Christ Child.
Even Japan has Santa Claus,
similar in most respects to the Santa
Claus of the occident. He is known
as the Sage of Long Life"

COMMENTING OF president Roosevelt's
message William j. Bryan says there is
much that is good and much that is bad
in it but it may be regarded as the pres
ident's most important state paper.
1.-The message contains much that is
democratic and for which the general
public may well thank him. Itcontains
some things that ought to arouse severe
criticism"
Among these latter is the presidents
"warlike attitudes" "He speaks of the
navy" said Bryan" as the surest guar
anty of peace which this country pos
sesses. Shame upon the chief executive
that he should place an instrument of
brute force above the nations sense OF
justice as a guaranty of peace. The
best guarantor of peace is our nations
principle to deal justly with other ma
tions. War ought to be a last resort,
not a first consideration"

showed a religious inclination that
destined him to take high place in
the church.
As a young man he entered the
monastery of Sion, and in time he be-
came abbot and later bishop of Myra.
His sanctity and learning made him
shine even in the most illustrious
company, and he was one of the most
notable figures at that wonderful gath
ering OF 31S bishops, who met at MEGA
in 31s to condemn the heresy of Arius.
While ST. Nicholas became famous
in the councils of the church, 1t was
still more as the special friend of the
children that his fame spread.

One of his eraliest miracles, II il
related, had to dc with restoring to
life two or three children.
There are two accounts of the story.
One says that an Asian sent his two
sons to Athens to study. En- route
they fell in with a villainous innkeep-
er, who, to get their valuables, slew
the two boys, and cut their bodies in
to bits, which he put in his brine bar
rel to sell for pork. Then ST. Nicholas
having seen the crime in vision,
came to the spot, and restored the
children to life.
The other version says there were
three children, and that their would
be murderer was a butcher.
In either case, st. Nicholas per-

mas or Noel-who comes around on
December 20 of each year, and glad
dens the heart of children, rich or
poor, by mysteriously leaving to them
the very things they most want, sur
wives in spite of all attacks.
Santa Claus, the real Santa Claus, is
both old and young. His pictures
show to us jolly fellow, with beard
suggesting the venerable. twinkling
eyes bespeaking bounding youth. And
young in feeling and action, if not in
years, he must be to get over all the
world in one night, without missing
one house in which lives a deserving
child.
He is different in every country,
ranging in years from the beautiful
Christ child that the good children of
France adore, to the jolly old fellow
to whom the American youngster
vows allegiance.
But it is not in this sense that the
writer means to depict Santa Claus as
both young and old. 1t is from a his
torical standpoint that the comparison
is made. Santa Claus, as we know
him in this country, Is less than a
century old, but the real Santa Claus,
the original of them all, goes way
back to the remote third century.
His present name, Santa Claus, or
Kriss Kringle, is derived from St
Nicholas, the very incarnation of al
that was good and generous.
st. Nicholas, destined to be wor
shipped in various forms by the chill
