~USHE Christmas chimes are sounding
on the air,
And, as | sit and listen to their
sweet,
Unearthiy music, gone is every care,
Forgot is all the turmoil of the street.
The troublea that fhe path of man be-
set,
The vast anxicties of human life,
All fade away, and every fond regret
Is lost in all their glad and joyous
strife.
VA THAT though ! seem alone on
wv this fair day,
- From happy comradeshp
stand isolate,
With none to greet me as walk my
way.
To merely live | count happy fate
To merely listen to those joyous sounds
That through the crisp of winter call
so free,
rounds
Pause not to think of or remember
me.
HS'T not enough that on this Christ
mas morn,
This glad birth morn of him whose
day it is,
My heart, but yesterday so sad, forlorn,
Doth open to the message that was
hs2
Is't not enough to know that from
above
The tidings of sacrifice divine
| Come as a gift of an eternal love
| That | have but to take to make it

Why Saint Nicholas?
By ROBERT D0NNELL..

Copyright 1908, by American Press Asso-
ciat!on.l
VI Ely is Santa Claus sometimes
y "a / called St Nicholas? For
" VI the most excellent reason
that Nicholas is the real
lame OF the saint. Until comparative
" recent years there was no Santa
Claus at Christmas time. When the
Did 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-
mind time, for his true and proper
time Is Dec. 8, 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.
Myra, in Lycia. He is believed to
have lived under the Emperors Dio-
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 coll
lars, necklaces and tiaras.
Before the great religious reformation
the custom of giving presents on st.
Nicholas eve was general throughout
Christian Europe. When the worship
of the saints was abolished the prac-
Eice died out in England, where for
about three centuries st. Nicholas fall
I'd TO visit households on the evening
Of Dec. to leave presents for good
children. BY the way, it 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 to
those whose parents can vouch for
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
lngs hung from the mantel. When
New York was settled by Hollanders
The devout Dutchmen brought over to
america their religious customs, not
brgetting that of ST. Nicholas eve. In
Did New Amsterdam the saint made
bis visits the night OF Dec 3, ST. Mich
Dlas day being celebrated by the set
tiers as Il holiday. In time the Dutch
we're supplanted by the English, New
Amsterdam became New York, and the
Old st. Nicholas eve gift giving custom
was reintroduced into England from
New York. But in England the GUS
.om OF giftmakinE on Christmas eve
and grown up. There was. however.
10 Santa Claus ceremony. Gifts wer"
made outright ard without secrecy.
When St Nicholas sailed back to
England there wns CONSERVATION
among fond papas and mammas In
, the tight little ISL.
What! Shall we have tive days of
gift giving and less than three weeks
apartr' they cried.
Thrifty English parents, 1T is sap
posed, determined that one day OF
giving was enough, and 30 they sim
ply tra nsferred st. Nicholas to Christ

Puffed Wheat-10c Puffed Rice-15e

These are the foods invented by Prof. An
derson, and this is his curious process:
The whole wheat or rice kernels are put into
sealed guns. Then the guns are revolved for
sixty minutes in heat of $50 degrees.
That fierce heat turns the moisture in the
grain to steam, and the pressure becomes tre-
mendous.

In the statistics for July, pre-

which is now $4,000 acres. 10

acres planted or just double the

acreage of potatoes is 81, 900 or an
increase of about per cent. In

productions not only is an increase
in acreage shown, but a most mark
