give the saint a cup of gold Time went by, and
beautiful boy was born. Immediately the father
had cup made of pure gold. 1t was very heaVy
and wrought all over with figures. In fact, the
cup was so elegant that when the goldsmith had
finished it the father decided to keep it for him
self, and have silver made for the GOOD
saint.
When the silver cup was finished, the father
took his little son, who was old enough to walk
and set out for the shrine of ST. Nicholas. On
the way, feeling thirsty, he stopped near river
and giving the cup of gold to the boy, told him TO
fetch some water The child went to do so, but
STOPPING over, slipped the bank and fell INTO
the river. And he was seen no more.
The father, weeping with grief and repentance,
fastened to the shrine and laid the silver cup
on the altar But the cup rolled to the floor. Once,
twice, thrice, did the man place it on the altar,
but every time it fell to the ground. And while
all the people who stood by marveled to see this
wonder. suddenly the little boy himself stood on
the altar steps, holding the cup of gold in his
hand st. Nicholas had saved him! Full OF JOY
the father took the cup of gold and placed it with
the silver one upon the altar Then thanking st.
Nicholas, he took his and carried him safely
home.
AS the Christmas legend came down the ages
it gathered to itself the myths of all the faiths
and what more natural and right than that the
religion of the brotherhood of man should contain
something of every ideal and every form of wOr-
ship of man, since the human race began?
And last, but somehow most conspicuous now
among all the traditions, the legend of St Ncho-
las or Santa Claus, straight from Holland!
Hollanders celebrate Christmas most heartily

"a legend Of his surrepttious bestowal of dow
ries upon the three daughters of an impoverished
citizen is said to have originated the old custom
OF giving presents in secret the 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 was rich merchant who a Christian.
Re lived near the border Of heather land One
day his only son was stolen by wicked
neighbors, who sold him to heather king. The
boy handsome, the king made him the
royal cup-bearer
1t happened that the king was giving a great
banquet And as the boy 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 cry?" asked the king angrily.
do you not that your tears are falling into
my cup and spelling my wine?
'This is the Feast of st. Nicholas" answered
the boy, sobbing, "and every one at home is eat
ing and is merry And, alas 1 am not there!"
u(sreat may be your ST. Nicholas" replied the
king scornfully, "but he cannot save you from my
hand"
Scarcely had the king spoken these words when
a violent whirlwind tore around outside the palace
and flash of lightning illuminated the hail, and
loud thunder roared. And, 10! 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 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 was dead, he still cared to
help people. Once there was a ;tnan 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
filed with treasures. The next morning before
he left the house. he said to the image: Guard
nv treasures! IT, when l return / find anything
gone I'll beat you well p So saying, he went
away.
He had not been gone long when robbers broke
into the house and stole all the treasures and
carried then, off to their den. The came
back and saw what had happened. He filed
with fury He took whip and beat and hacked
the image without mercy.
That very night St Nicholas himself appeared
TO the robbers. He showed them his bruised and
bleeding form. and commanded them to restore
the treasure they had stolen. They terrified
and gathering together all the stuff carried II
back to its owner They told him what had hap
pened, and he 80 astonished that he immedi-
ately became a Christian.
The Boy and the Cup.
Once there was rich man who had to
be heir to his wealth. He made to st.
Nicholas that If son born to him he would
