writes to Santa Claus.
Every night I think 1 can
hear the sleigh bells tinkling but I
know my ears do not hear right. for you

That is the way all OF the little folks
Of Washington feel about the flight Of

are now counting the weeks. Soon
they will be counting the days that
must pass before the glad Christmas
morning is here when they can get up
TO see the result of Santas good work.
I wish I could be sure that every
child in Washington would find his
stockings filed with presents and good
things to eat Christmas morning. But I
know that there will be some who are
skipped by the jolly old saint Il Will
be too bad. The old fellow would not do
It Intentionally, but when one has so
many houses to visit and so many little
hearts to satisfy with presents, there are
bound to be some mistakes.
Santa Is Sure
To Visit Homes Of Rich.
I
ones who will be skipped will be the
ones who ought TO be remembered. They
will be the ones who have bare homes
and empty cupboards. Santa is always
sure to go to the homes of the rich
children. SO, if the rich children will
help him out in his mistakes and give
something TO the poor children, all the
world will be happy on Christmas morn
