St. Nick and Santa Claus
HOW NAMES ORIGINATED
S ORIGINATED
100 ooO-

CANTA CLAUS is no relation to St.
y Nicholas, though his name is Of
ten COMPOUNDED with that Of the
holy patron of children.
Santa Claus is a sort OF modern
and somewhat pagan saint. He is jolly,
as If he lived well, and always smiles.
His name came Originally from the
Dutch, who had some difficulty in say
ing st. Nicholas-or st. Nicholaus, as
they spell it-and so shortened it to
saint or Santa Claus. the last word be-
ing In part the last syllable of the
saints name.
Santa Claus is better known in
America perhaps than in any other
country. He has no place in any list
Of saints. though his sole business Is
doing good.
He is believed to live at the north
pole, though Peary saw nothing Of him
there. He travels with RENDERS.
Kriss Kringle or Kriss Kinkle is a
name sometimes given Santa Claus
This comes from careless speech on
the part of the Germans, just as the
name of Santa Claus comes from the
careless Dutch.
In German Christ Kindlein means
Christ Child the giver Of all gifts.

An Exclamation.

We rehearsed The cantata in the par
Tor of the Storefpher residence. using

absolutely refuses to permit US to cut

afraid that In the excitement of the
acting some of Us are liable to forget
ourselves and get our gestures mixed.

are offering prize of 81 to the boy

The BETHLEHEM STAR
BY ALOYSlUS COLL.

The Bethlehem star, the guiding star
OF old Judea's night
Has 1t become a faded scar
Across the orient night,
The guess of science and the guess
or critic, seer and sage?
Has 1t the DINNER grown or less
For change of cline and age?
Star of the east-it is not set.
Though science scout the sky,
It's burning in the heaven yet
AS bright and sure and high
AS when the shepherds saw 1t flame
Over old Bethlehem
And followed 1t until 1t came
And showed a Christ to them.
It is not set, the Bethlehem star,
But hovers full and clear
Where'er the babe and cradle are
And parents watching near,
where'er the angel lips of love
Bring tIdings OF great joy,
-Where'er a mother bends above
Her darling firstborn boy.

yHERE'ER THE BABE AND CRADLE ARR
AND PARENTS WATCHING NEAR.
The Bethlehem star-each mother sees
Its holy promise light.
Believing each its destinies
Her darling's in the night.
Believing each the little star
Is set above her son
To light her mother hopes that are
And shine when hers are done.
Mary in Bethlehem outcast
Is Mother Mary still
And lives the Mary of the past
On Scotland's heathered hill;
Are Marys Of the time of God
And Egypt, Rome and Spain,
Are Mary's of the time Of God
And watch the star again.
The Bethlehem star, the guiding star
That hoyers full and clear
Wherever babe and cradle are
And parents watching near.
Wherever cherub lips Of love
Bring tidings of great joy.
Where'er a mother bends above
Her darling flrstborn boy.
