several churches here last Thursday
evening were very good and we'll at
tended. The happy little tots did we'll
with their speaking and could scarce
conceal their impatience until it was
time for Santa Claus TO come hurrying

squeals and shrieks coud be heard all
over as the jolly old saint shook each
child by the hand.

this Christmas time and why should
ut he be? The old, broken-down cart

a newly painted and much better
looking vehicle for that purpose. In
