celebrated in some very odd ways and
out of the way places in our country.
At Ellis island, in the harbor of New

usually await debarkation on the
shores of America. There is a null

'bambinos'' and of youngsters of
every nationality, as much interested,

any Yankee young folks could possibly

excitement for them, inasmuchi as the

these humble aliens q wealth Of good

made for the purpose, the day is rem
dered joyful for all, both young and
old, toys being plentifully distributed
among the little ones.
The loneliest places in the world are
some of the lighthouses which our
government maintains along the coast
for the protection of mariners. Yet
Santa Claus finds his way to them.
and In his honor a feast, even though

be that the barren rock which the
lighthouse marks affords room enough
for the keeping of a dozen chickens.

But even this is not practicable in
such a spot as Boon island. off the
coast of Maine, a dangerous bit of
terra irma which is continually swept

years of age. daughter of the keeper
of Boon light. was so distressed be-
cause her father had beer prevented
by continual storm from going to the
mainland for the customary Christmas
goose that she stole out of the light
house at night and knelt in a sheltered
spot to pray.
"Dear God" she said, "please send
us a goose for our Christmas dinner!"
