The Russian St. Nicholas.

In Russia the children put their shoes filled with hay outside the door for the horses of St. Nicholas; and it is believed in most sections that St. Nicholas comes first on prepara- tory visit ten days before Christmas to learn which children have been good He leaves nuts and candy in the shoes of those who have been good but nothing for those who have been bad. who thus know that they may expect no presents on the real Christmas day.

Loving saw the man at the First Po-
lice Station and asserted that he was
not his relation that De Witt would
admit who he was. He claimed that he
was nephew Of John r. Loving after
