"a legend of his surreptitious bestowa of dow
res upon the three daughters of an impoverished
citizen is said to have originated the old custom
OF giving presents in secret the eve of ST. Mich
olas, subsequently transferred to Christmas day.
Hence the association of Christmas with Santa
Claus and American corruption of the Dutch
form, San Nicolaas the custom being brought
to America by the early Dutch colonists."
Many wonder tales are told of st. Nicholas.
Here are three famous adventures of the saint:
Rescue of the Stolen Boy.
There rich merchant who was a Christian.
He lived near the border of heather land. One
day his only stolen by wicked
neighbors, who sold him to heather king. The
boy was handsome. so the king made him the
royal cup-bearer.
1t happened that the king was giving great
banquet. And as the boy was presenting the cup
full of wine he suddenly remembered that it was
the Feast of st. Nicholas, and that his family
father mother, and sisters-were happily cele-
brating the day. Thinking about this, the boy
burst into tears
"Why do you ery?" asked the king angrily.
do you not that your tears are falling into
my cup and spelling my wineY'
This is the Feast of st. Nicholas" answered
the boy, sobbing, "and every at home is eat
ing and is merry! And, alas am not there!"
"Great may be your ST. Nicholas" replied the
king scornfuly, but he cannot save you from my
hand"
a violent whirwind tore around outside the palace
and flash of lightning Illuminated the hail. and
loud thunder roared And To- st. Nicholas him.
SELF dressed in his bishops robes, and wearing his
mitre stood before the throne He caught the boy
by the locks and flying with him through the dome
of the hall, whirled him rapidly through the air.
In q few minutes he set him down in the midst of
his astonished family, who were keeping the feast
of the good st. Nicholas.
The Terrified Robbers
After St Nicholas Dead he still cared to
helm people. Once there was q man who would
not become Christian. He heard how many kind
things st. Nicholas did for his followers so he
stole an image of the saint. He placed the
image in the best room of his house. which was
filled with treasures. The next morning. before
he left the house. he said to the image "Guard
nv treasuresi If when / return, / find anything
gone I'll beat you well! 7" So saying he went
away.
He had not been gone long when robbers broke
into the house and stole all the treasures and
carried them off to their den. The man came
back and saw what had happened. He was filed
with fury He took whip and beat and hacked
the image without mercy.
That very night St Nicholas himself appeared
70 the robbers. He showed them his bruised and
bleeding FORM and commanded them to restore
the treasure they had stolen. They were terrified,
and gathering together all the stuff carried It
back to its owner They told him what had hap
pened and he was so astonished that he immedi-
ately became Christian

Careless Handlers Of Gasoline.

There is no excuse for being careless
with gasoline, yet according to the re-
ports of fire marshals fire after fire is
caused by people who are careless in
just that way. A man drew gasoline
from his automobile by lantern light
the loss was $500; spark from an
emery wheel set fire to pail of gaso-
line-a man was severely burned; a
woman lighted match to see how
much gasoline was left in a can-the
explosion started fire so serious that
two fire departments were called to
save the town. Those are a few of
the accidents that occurred in one
state in one month.-Youth's Compan-

HOW
RHEUMATISM
BEGINS

The excruciating agonies of rheuma--
dsm are usually the result of failure of
the kidneys to expel poisons from the
system. If the irritation of these uric
acid crystals is allowed to continue, in.
durable bladder or kidney disease may
result. Attend to it at once. Don't
resort to temporary relief. The sick
kidneys must be restored to health by
the use of some sterling remedy which
will prevent a return of the disease.

of the kidneys, liver, stomach, bladder
and allied organs.

things, and you must share it with others. Isn't
that the first and simplest meaning of a merry
