A Visit From Santa.

Last Friday afternoon about
three o'clock, the quiet rustic of
the busy workers in the Battle
Ridge school, Dublin township,
was dlstuI bed by vigorous rap.
ping at the door. The teacher,
Mr.. Robert B. Cromer, hastened
to respond, and upon opening the
door, there stood Santa Claus.
He was on his way from the North
Pole to McConnellsburg, and his
fingers got so cold coming across
the hill from Littleton that he
just stopped at the schoolhouse
to warm. Of course, Robert III.
vited the old gentleman in, seated
HIM near the warm stove, and
then went on with the regular
work of the school. The pupils
gazed a little curiously at first,
for 1t was the first time they had
ever been able to get glimpse of
the old SAINT before. He had oft
en- been at their homes, but 1t
was always at night when they
were snugly tucked in bed fast
asleep.
The warm stove made the old
gentleman a little sleepy, and he
probably sat there a little longer
than he intended, for all at once,
he yawned once or twice, stretch.
ed his limbs, and sauntered to
the door, and passed quietly out.
But this was not all. In
short time he returned tugging
two big baskets-just heaplng
full Of oranges, cakes, candies,
nuts, toys, &C., and didn't do a
thing but treat every scholar in
the school with just that much
that they scarcely knew how to
get 1t all home, and so they just
ate a lot Of 1t right then and there.
Santa seemed glad as well as
the scholars. He had heard Cook
talk about Mr.. Cromer and the
Battle Ridge school when Cook
was mot up at the Pole, and so
Santa made up his mind that if
1T ever came in his way he would
like to visit the school.
