...s.......s.9ooooo0999cc.

Judging from the four hundred and
more communications, V ritten i'm ch l.
dish hands, which in some cases were
almost unintelligible which have been
received at the World office during
the past two weeks Santa Claus is
going 10 be a busy, busy parsonage
tonight in Tulsa and surrounding
towns. Every mali for days past has
brought the jolly, red checked ola
fellow bundle of letters, some of
them on fine stationery, embossed ana
monogramed. and others on pieces of
wrapping paper in cheap envelopes.
Some were from the children OF the
wealthy ard many more were written
bN orphan children and little kiddies
who are so poor that Christmas to
them means huge problem, as to
, whether or not they will eat turkey
and cranberries, or soup and bread.
Couched in childish language, with
misspelIed words and strangely con-
structed sentences exposing the .X-
tleme youth of the senders, these let
tiers reflect the feelings of every child
within radius of fifty miles of Tul-
sa Every conceivable thing has been
asked for, from a calico dress to
daddy" who has strayed from the
family fresde. Many of these letters
have been published in these columns.
Scores OF others cannot be printed
for want of space. A number of the
childish and appealing communica-
tions. each Of which bears strong
touch of human nature, picked at
random from old Santa's immense
bundle of mail at the World office,
. are given herewith:
