SANTA CLAUS AND HIS DAY
Most Columbians Are Believers in the
Good Saint and Will Celebrate Christ
mas in the Time-Honored Way.

of Santa Claus he didn't think to ask
for details, or wonder why Santa
chose to be So generous on one par
ticular day, he simply accepted the
story as it was told him. But later
he thought of the material details
and so asked how Santa could get in
when there was no fireplace. And
when the grown-ups made the hero
a sort of collapsible saint who could
make himself large or small at will,
who could come down stovepipes as
well as we'll as big chimneys, the
child was satisfied again for a time.
Then he wondered how big sleds
and wagons and other toys in the
pack could be dragged down the
stove pipes. And as he grew older
he asked more questions till he came
to the point when the grown-ups
hesitated and could not answer. He
noticed their hesitancy and WON
dered. So at last he came to the
final question, wistful, half afraid to
hear the answer, "Is there a truly
Santa CLAUSE?
There was period of bitter dis
appointment but when he had
thought it all out, he was glad that
he had believed and now he tells his
own children about the mysterious
saint who loves good little boys and
girls.
Christmas Entertainments.
Most Of the Columbia churches will
be visited by Santa Claus this year
aud all of them will have special
Christmas services. Miss Josephine
Mitchell, junior superintendent of the
Methodist Sunday School. has charge
of the Christmas program there. A
Christmas cantata, ''The King Who
Comes to Reign" will be sung by the
children and there will be recitations
drills and various Christmas tab
leaux. Santa Claus will distribute
the treat from the Christmas tree
At the Christian Church a special
entertainment for the children will
be given Monday night, December %,
in the church auditorium. There
will be a cornet solo, songs and reci-
tations, and of course Santa Claus
and Christmas tree.
Stereopticon views bearing upon
religious subjects, and especially
Christmas, will be given at the Bap-
tist Church. There will be no tree
but Santa will come in time to give
each child his treat.
The children of the Presbyterian
Church will also see the Christmas
saint and receive something from
him. They will take presents to the
church, too, and these presents will
be sent to the children in homes
which Santa Claus cannot visit.
A special musical program will be
given at the Catholic Church and the
children in the Catholic School will
have their Christmas program.

GERMAN CAPITALISTS
RECOVER FROM FRIGHT

Berlin.-German capitalists to
whom the defeats of Turkey and the
collapse of the Ottoman empire came
as a dreadful blow because of their
heavy investments in Turkish under
takings, representing their share in

man influence in Turkey, are begin
'ng to recover from the shock since
the "Deutsche bank" the engineer
general of Teutonic enterprise in Tur-
key, came out the other day with a
reassuring statement that there was
no ground for alarm.
Strange though it may sound the
railroads of Turkey, which are nearly
all owned by German capitalists, are
said to be an extraordinarily flour
ishing condition." and there is no
fear that the war however it ends,
will seriously arrest their progress
Judged by the results of the Russo
Turkish war, railway and economic
developments in the Ottoman en-
pire, it is said, will be enhanced not
retarded by events to come.
