 four words so Wonder-worth! How the happy pulses leap, and how the

cund Dutchman, who suggested to him the idea of making St. Nicholas the hero of a Christmas piece for his children.
 It was, however, with no thought of it's ever being published that MT. Moore wrote, the poem, but the lines were copied by a relative of the au- thor in her album. From it another copy was made by a friend of hers from Troy. Some time later, much to the surprise of Dr. Moore, it was for the first time published in a news paper. By such small chance was this choice little poem saved for posterity.
 In those days there was no, such celebration of Christmas as Is now the case but Dr. Moore, having absorbed the ancient traditions of his Dutch neighbors, wove' them into the poem for his children. He did more than that, for he built up around the, cen tral thought an interpretation which has gradually come. to be our own. As some one has so aptly said, 1t has become so much part and parcel of our literature that 1t seldom occurs to peo- pie it ever had an author. Since for nearly a hundred years American chil- dren have been fed on it, 1t has now become theirs in very truth.

OLD ENGLISH CHRISTMAS
 SONG

All hail to the days that merit more
 praise
 Than all the rest of the year, And welcome the nights that double de-
 lights
 As well for poor as for peer. Good fortune attend each merry mans
 friend
 That doth but the best that he may, Forgetting old wrongs in carols and songs To drive the cold winter away. This time of the year is spent in good
 cheer,
 And neighbors together do meet. To sit by the fire with friendly desire. Each other in love for to greet. Old grudges forgot, put in the pot. And sorrows aside they all lay; The old and the young do carol this song. To drive the cold winter away. When old Christmas-tide comes in like a
 bride With ivy and green holly clad, Twelve days in the year much mirth and
 good cheer
 In every household Is had. The countryman's guse is then to devise Some gambOls of Christmas play, Where every young man does the best
 that he can

Diferent N0W, But Christmas
 Just the Same
By De Lyle F. CdsS

In olden days they used to bring a hoar'S head smoking into the feast and drag the hOlly-grOwn Yule-lOg to the great fireplace With special cere- monies.
 And years afterwards the custom was for hands of sweet-vOiced boys to go from house to house on Christmas morning, standing grouped in the street and singing carols of joy to the mellow resonance of bells.
 And in grandf&ther's time folks made up jolly, boiStcrouS sleighing par ties, where all muflied up snugIy and let out the horses, with the iron runners gliding swiftly over the hard packed snow.
 But M0llie and live in a little house in town, where the sanitary depart ment keeps the streets swept clean of snow; where there are municipal rules against chCpping down trees and

the world over of Christmas. To look at it no one would dream its hidden words are even now vibrating in the hearts of countless children, yet the charm it's bright covers em- brace is perennial. It is the manu- script of the famous children's classic, "A Visit from St. Nicholas" written by Clement c. Moore almost hundred years ago, and dedicated to his own children in particular, and, as 1t has since proved, to childhood the world over.
 This season it has as it's companion in the library of the New York County Historical society in Central Park West q photographic copy of the original text enlarged sufficiently to enable 1t to be easily read, for though the orig inal chirOgraphy is quite remarkable for a man of Dr. MOore's years-eighty- two when he indited the poem-it is fine and old-fashioned, and there fore somewhat difficult to read.
 The innovation has proved a rare treat to the library patrons, and 1t is interesting to note with what rever- ence it is handled by men and women whose childhood days are long past, yet whose holiday memories are still, bright Two pages and half are con- stunned in committing the poem to paper, and the repetition of the old familiar lines brings to mind pleasant thoughts of the season, for no one has ever viSTalized our American Christ mas from the children's viewpoint as has Clement c. Moore in his rare little poem.
 The lines were written as a Christ mas gift for the authors two young daughters nearly century ago. but it has since become a progressive gift to countless other girls and boys. Ac cOmpanying the original manuscript when it was presented to the society by T. w. Moore, a relative, some fifty years ago, is a letter in which the writer tells how the verses came to be written and how it happened that they were eventually published.
 Mir. Moore lived at the time in handsome house overlooking the Hud- son, at Ninth avenue and Twenty third street. Then Chelsea, like Green wich village, further south, was quite remote from the city. Each was large ly populated by the Dutch settlers from Nieuw Amsterdam. Living near his country seat was a portiy, rubi-

you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas How dreary would be the world If there were no Santa Claus It would be as dreary as if there were no Vir ginins. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance, to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment except in sense and sight. The eternal light with which childhood fills the world would be eXtinguished.
 Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as we'll not believe in fairies You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneyS on Christ mas eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if they did not see Santa Claus com ing down, what would that prove? NO- body sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus. The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not; but that's no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the won ders that are unseen and unseeable in the world.
 You may tear apart the baby's rat tie and see what makes the noise in side, but there is veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived, could tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? An, Virginia, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding.
 "No Santa Claus! Thank God, he lives and he lives forever. A thousand years from now. Virginia, nay 10 times 10000 years from now, he will con- tinue to make glad the heart of child hood"

 Santa Claus? |?
Classic Answer of a NegO York JOurnaiSf A6irn1i1R
 .<0 Little Girl s Belief

NE of the finest things ever written about Christmas was
 the editorial printed 20 years s1akS7ss ago by the New York Sun in nnsWer to the earnest appeal of q little New York girl to be told whether San Claus really exists. Its author, Frank F. Church, was an accomplished journalist and wrote much on many subjects. but his fame will rest chiefly on this beautiful setting forth of an eternal truth. With Dr. Clement Clarke Mo0res "A Visit iFrom St. Nicholas" it is one of the great classics of the Chris, mas season.
 The answer to the eternal question as printed in the Sun follows:
 ''We take pleasure in answering at once, and thus prominently, the com mupication below, expressing at the same time our great gratifcatiOn that it's fa hful author is numbered among the friends of the Sun:
