were bestowed from Santas rich and
boundless load.

was in no way discomposed. for magic
wonders multiplied that night upon our
snowy ride. The greater wonders,
though, to me might have been traced
to Santa's tea, sophisticated by his
cook, and of which he so much par
took; for at the homes of wealth,
where boys and girls had much,
he left few toys, while poorer
children's wishes found complete full
fillment on his round; and to strange
humors he gave vent as here and
there we quickly went.
Some men by others we'll esteemed
got prison wear the while they
dreamed; and others, poor and fur
nished i'll, of good things must have
found their fill; and many men of
lean estate awoke to find their riches
great, each one admonished that his
door should always open to the poor.
Fantastic tricks, too, Santa played
on men and women, boy and maid In
one old spinsters stocking thin l saw
him slip a manikin; in one old bach's
dingy place woman's form of won
drous grace. Twas wax, of course;
but twas a hint that ought to stir a
heart of flint A man with millions
strangely made Old Santa left hoe
and spade; to one l knew ill-hap had
struck he left a parcel labeled
Luck" to pals of mine that For
tune bars he gave next seasons mo-
tor cars. This got my goat, and l to
see just what he purposed giving me
quite foolishly the silence broke, and
empty-handed I awoke!-Judge

The Christmas Stocking.

ST. Nicholas seems to have been the
original of our Santa Claus. He was
the bishop of Myra about the year
500 and was very popular because of
his good deeds and kindness, especial
ly to children, whose patron saint he
is supposed to be. An old legend says
that he wished to secretly bestow a
gift upon an old nobleman who,
though poor, did not want anyone to
know of his poverty. When the good
bishop reached the house he saw the
old gentleman asleep by the fire, so
he climbed to the top of the chimney
and dropped his gift into it, thinking
it would fall on the hearth. But it
happened that the money fell into one
of the old gentleman's stockings,
which his daughter had hung up to
dry, where it was found and used as
a dowry for his eldest daughter And
the story goes on to say that st.
Nicholas never failed to put a gift
in the stockings which were hung up
for him thereafter when a daughter
Of the house was to marry.
