A Christmas Runaway

little friend OF The Times Dis
patch, Baylor Blackford. eight years
old. contributes the following cxplana-
iion Of why tho sun gets UP so late
ON Christmas morning:
once upon a time there was Santa
claus ana ne was on top Of u house,
and some bricks were blown eff by the
sn"wStorn and fell ana scared Dancer.
She ran away and that scared some
more dccrs, and al the dcers ran away
except one named Dundcr. and she
stayed there, and poor Santa Claus was
on top OF the house ana didn't have
but one deer. He rode Dundcr and
caught pashcr. and DaShcr was much
faster than Dundcr, so nc hitched
DUndcr to Il cloud and rode Dashcr
and caught AL tho dccrs. and then
he saw it was 50 late that he could
not deliver all his presents to the
children. SO he got on one OF the deer
and rode to the sun and told 1t please
not To get up so carly, because he
could not give away all his presents.
The sun said he would not get up
early, and so santa Claus gave away
all his presents. and that is why the
Christmas nights are so long"

The big bronze bell used in the Ger
man trenches to signal British attacks
and recently captured by our troops,
recalls II curious old custom OF war.
ON the capture of n bcscgcd town the
church bells became, ipso facto, the
pcruuiS;tes Of the chief artillery officer
on the attacking side. Whether these
were to lie melted down ana used az
raw metal, or whether their shape sug-
gcstcd easy conversion into mortars is
not quite clear. I!ut that the custom
is not altogether obsolete may be
Judged from the fact that, in accord
ance with ii, at least one temple bell
