The Old Ace of Santa Claus.

In Anna Farquhar'S "ConvictiOnS"
in The National Magazine, she says:
"Santa Claus totters under his pack,
wearing a long, old face these days.
Probably in his youth he had no idea
of growing old or departing this life !;
therefore when his enthusiasm and
jOyousness began to wane unaccount-
ably, he must have opined that the
world was tottering-not his own gen
erous throne of life. Nowadays he
creeps down the chimney Stealthily as
if somewhat ashamed of his mission,
like polar burglar, and his eight tiny
reindeer make small clatter on the
lawn, for many of their joy bells have
been lost. When Santa lays a finger
aside of his nose reflectively in our
times, he exclaims, without a bit of
jolly shake below the waist: 'Degen-
crates Degenerates Has my world
come to such a pass that people wish
to pay me for my presents? Can it
be that little children are so surfeited
with toys that they stop to ask how
much they cost before accepting them.
There was little Willie, last year, who
said to his mamma, when he first saw
Il beautiful woolly dog, Whats it got
inside? Candy or money? Don't want
dog Mess it's got somethin' in
side "'"
