SANTA CLAUS WAS A SURE-ENOUCH
REAL, LIVE OLD SAINT

Don't you believe that Santa
Claus is only myth; and a fairy
story for little boys and girls. He
really did live right here on this
earth. and when he lived he was a
dear old Santa every day in the
year.
Historically speaking the saint
whose name has become synony-
nous for Christmas giving had alb
solutely no connection with the an
niversary itself, Santa Claus be-
ing a corruption of st. Nicholas,
bishop of Myra. in Asia Minor, dur
ing the fourth century.
st. Nicholas was man who was
as widely known for his generosity
and charity as for his piety, and
there are many pretty legends that
show him to have been the friend
and protector of the young.
According to one story, man
was about to commit a great crime
in order that he might provide suit
able dowries for his three portion
less daughters. st. Nicholas pitfed
the unfortunate man and his I'M
happy daughters so much that one
night he threw a well-filled purse
into the fathers house and stole
away unseen. He repeated his kind
action the following night, and
again escaped unnoticed, but upon
the third night. when he threw a
purse into the house for the third
daughter, the father recognized
him, and overwhelmed the good
saint with expressions of gratitude.
st. Nicholas life was one grand
record of such good deeds and gen
erous gifts. When he died Dec. 3,
343. he was not only made a pa
tran saint, but thereafter in re-
membrance of the three purses OF
gold, parents celebrated the eve or
st. Nicholas day by secretly giving
presents to their children, denying
all knowledge of the gifts. which
were supposed to have been left
by this unseen friend of all good
children.
This custom was eventually

One OF the smoothest methods known to professional

is to pass legislation which is of effect unless accom-
