VISIT FROM.
ST. NICHOLAS

Twas the night before Christmas when all through
the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that Saint Nicholas soon would be there.
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions Of sugarplums danced through their
heads;
And Mama in her kerchief and in my cap
Had just settled our brains for long winters nap;
When out on the lawn there arose such clatter
sprang from my bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window fled like fash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash;
The moon on the breast Of the new fallen snow
Gave the luste Of midday to objects below,
When what to my wondering eyes should appear
But miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer,
With little old driver so lively and quick
knew in moment it must be Saint Nick.
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled and shouted and called them by
name.
SHOW, Dasherl now, Dancerl now, Prancerl and
Vmenl
On, Cometl on, Cupid on, Donder and BGtzenl
To the top Of the porchl To the top Of the WALL
Now dash away! dash awayl dash away, ALL"
As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly
When they meet with an obstacle mount to the sky,
So up to the housetop the coursers they flew,
With the sleigh full Of toys and Saint Nicholas too.
And then in twinklng heard on the roof
The prancing and paving Of each little hoof-
As drew in my head and was turning around,
Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with bound.
He was dressed all in furs from his head to his foot
And his clothes were all tanished with ashes and
SCOT.
A bundle Of toys he had flung on his back,
And he looked like peddler just opening his pack;
His eyes-how they twinkledl His dimpes, how
menyI
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like "a chenyl
His droll little mouth was drawn up in bow,
And the beard on his chin was as white as the snow;
The stump Of pipe he held tight in his teeth,
And the smoke il encircled his head like wreath;
He had broad face, and little round belly
That shook when h. laughed like bowlful Of jelly.
He was chubby and plump, right jolly old elf.
And laughed when ! saw him, in spite Of myself.
A wink Of his eye and twist Of his head
Soon gave me to know had nothing to dread.
He spoke not word, butwent straight to his work
And filled all the stockings; then turned with jerk,
And laying his finger aside Of his nose
And giving nod, up the chimney he rose.
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave whistle,
And away they all flew like the down Of a thistle;
But heard him exclaim erehe drove out Of sight,
Emery Christmas to all, and to all a good night"
The L'Anse sentinel. (L'Anse, L.S., Mich.) 18??-current, 1913-12-20

This is the Stocking long and fine
That the little girl hung at the end
of the line
There by the Hearth. where, all In q
row,
The stockings hung waiting for
Santa, you know;
They hung by the Chimney big and
wide
That Santa Claus climbed down in
side
At the House where the Reindeer
stopped
That drew the Sleigh
That carried the Pack
That Santa Claus brought at Christ
mas.-From st. Nicholas.

NEW YORK, December 5.-The active
stocks were generally higher at the
opening today. Erie was again in good
demand and the Can shares made =
further recovery from their recent
stump. Can preferred gaining a point.
New Haven also rose point. Ad-
yances elsewhere were limited TO frac-
tions.
Spectators took only lanSuid in
terest in the market and attempts to
realize on the opening advance tested
the absorptive capacity. Steel and
Anal gamated fell back. and were very
sluggish despite later rise in rail-
road shares.
Efforts To carry further yesterday rise
me. with small success. Traders were
Dtdrish and did not permit the slight
opening advance To proceed.
