the most worthy ones, received no help

Santa Claus was up bright and early
this morning He combed his snow-white
beard and filled his clay pipe several
times, and yet there seemed to be shade
of sadness lurking in his kindly gray
eyes. II may be that he was thinking
of the children OF Belgium. He fingered
the pages OF his ledger thoughtfully and
suddenly rays of hope frightened his
eyes.
MANY children abroad said he, think
ing aloud, may miss me this year, bless
their little hearts. I'll make them happy
sooner or later and I'll repay them for
some of their suffering. The children in
and about Philadelphia have been gen
erous and kind-hearted, and 1 will soon
be on my way to wish them hearty,
though silent, Merry Christmas "
Tonight Santa Claus will start on his
round It is whispered that he loves the
open country, where his reindeer can
have full sway. At any rate, he is likely
to visit the towns and cities outside OF
Philadelphia before turning rein for this
city.
