Eagle as symbol of Pnunr

From the Denver Advertiser
The eagle. although it appears on many
Egyptian and Assyrian coins OF a very
early date, probably had no significance
as symbol of royalty among those peo-
pies As military emblem it was used
by the Persians. The Tuscans were prob
ably the first people 20 adopt the eagle
as royal device, as It was among the
emblems Of royalty which they sent as a
token Of amity TO King Tarquin From

santa Claus Is Robust and STRONG!

Says the Nashville American:
" Christmas is coming on npace.' Yes: and Santa
is on a crutch.
Oh, no; he isn't on a Crutch, anything
Of the kind, and he never Will be. He is
an able-bodied gentleman. an optimist.
and he viii make his usual round this
year. just the same as. OF yore. Santa
Claus doesn't know anything about finan-
cial furries. or things OF that kind His
habitat is far beyond reach of the voice
Of the pessimist and hard-times prophet.
Into his snug workshop no evil winds
blow; he tinkers away. as willingly and
cheerfully as though no such things as
stock tickers and the like existed in this
sordid world.
None of the fathers and mothers in
all this land should get IT into their
heads that Santa Claus is on a crutch
this year. They should resolutely shut
their eyes and ears to such suggestions.
Christmas IS one day in the year when
the little ones should get all that is COM
ing TO them. without the slightest stint
TO believe that the little old gentleman
of the white whiskers and cherry cheeks
is hobbling along and unable 70 attend
to his work with his customary diligence
is very wrong. II Santa Claus should
learn that the mothers and fathers of the
land entertained such ideas concerning
him, he might become discouraged and
go back home before all OF the stockings
were filed as bOuntifully as has hereto
fore been his custom. That would be dis
tresslng-and utterly without good ex-
cuse. 1t would be the fault of the fathers
and mothers, however; not Of Santa
Claus.
Let everybody help nip this Santa
Claus on a crutch' idea in the bud. 1t is
all a mistake. Nothing must he said that
might in anywise disturb the serenity Of
his visit or mar the heartincss Of his
welcome. He must be-to the children,

good-natured old gentleman that he has
always been. May he never, never know
