SCHOOL FUND INQUIRY IS UP
Authorities Near Rockford Stirred UE
BY Alleged Shortage.

Rockford. H., Dec. 22.-The inves-
tigation which has been started into
the alleged shortage of funds in the
Rockton public school district is be-
lieved will show an impairment of the
general reserve fund as well as in the
money used for current purposes. The
reserve is supposed to amount to
$4,000, and the current fund was
thought to have at least $1,000, but no
money can be found to the credit of
the district. Checks issued by the
treasurer remain unpaid and teachers
are without the salaries which they
should have drawn some days ago.
William Thomson, aged so, treasurer
of the district, is dangerously i'll and
was unable to make any statement
yesterday, though called upon by the
states attorney and county superin
tendent. and was barely able to sigr
his resignation.

Why Saint Nicholas?
By ROBERT DoNNELL.

Copyright. 1908. by American Press Assoc
ciation.l
u A YHY is Santa Claus sometimes
M called st. Nicholas? For
wv the most excellent reason
that Nicholas is the real
name of the saint. Until comparative
ly recent years there was no Santa
Claus at Christmas time When the
old saint comes down the chimney
Dec. "a, Christmas eve, and deposits
gifts for the children in the suspended
stockings he is just nineteen days be-
hind time, for his true and proper
time is Dec. o, that being the eve Of
st. Nicholas day. Just how Nicholas
got to be the Christmas eve saint is
not altogether clear, but those ICON
oclasts who dig into ancient matters
are probing this secret They have
discovered, or claim to have discov-
cred, that the Christmas eve Santa
Claus really originated in America, be-
ing transported to England from New
York.
In the saints calendar Dec. 6 is st.
Nicholas day. Nicholas was bishop of
Myra, in Lycia. He is believed to
have lived under the Emperors Do
cletian and Constantine and is the pa
tron saint of poor maidens, sailors,
travellers, merchants and children.
Rich maidens, of course, are also quite
willing to acknowledge him when he
comes along with diamond dog col
lars, necklaces and tiaras.
pafopa tho tyrnat f.nlipioIlS vQfprno tinn
| the custom of giving presents on st.
! Nicholas eve was general throughout
Christian Europe. When the worship
of the saints was abolished the prac-
| tice died out in England, where for
about three centuries ST. Nicholas fail
ed to visit households on the evening
of Dec. to leave presents for good
| children. By the way, 1t should be
pointed out that Nicholas was noted
even In infancy as particularly good
and pious child. Therefore his visits
| are not made to bad children-only tc
those whose parents can vouch fol
their good behavior during the previous
year.
In Austria, Holland and Poland ST
Nicholas eve Is still observed. Good
children get presents, secretly left in
their shoes placed upon the hearth
stone for the purpose or in their stock
ings hung from the mantel. When
New York was settled by Hollanders
the devout Dutchmen brought over tc
America their religious customs, not
forgetting that of st. Nicholas eve. Ii
old New Amsterdam the saint made
his visits the night Of Dec. 5, st. Mich
olas day being celebrated by the set
tiers as holiday. In time the Dutcl
were supplanted by the English, New
Amsterdam became New York, and the
old st. Nicholas eve gift giving custom
was reintroduced into England fron
New York. But in England the Gus
tom of giftmaking ON Christmas eve
had grown up. There was, however
no Santa Claus ceremony. Gifts were
made outright and without secrecy.
When ST. Nicholas sailed back tC
England there was CONSERVATION
among fond papas and mammals In
the tight little isle.
What! Shall we have two days OF
gift giving and less than. three weeks
apart?" they cried
Thrifty English parents, it is sup
posed, determined that one day OF
giving was enough, and so they sim
ply transferred st. Nicholas to Christ
mas eve.
