DECEMBER 5, ST. NlCK'S DAY
Children Of Holland and France Look
for Santa cIaus' Visit Early In
the Month.

1<vr~7N THE strict order Of things
SM II children should have hung
E%lTS up their stockings for Santa
MMfH&T Claus on Dec. 8, and re-
joiced in his gifts. For 1t
was the feast Of st. Nicholas, alias
Santa Claus. He has nothing what
ever to do with Christmas, and his
visit then is an Anglo-Saxon anach-
rOnism, which came from America
fifty years ago. AS their patron saint.
children were taught to look to Mich
olas for care and protection. To show
the. reality Of his love for boys and
girls, parents related that on his eve
he went up and down the earth re-
warding the good with presents, as he
had In his life secretly thrown purses
Of gold into the rooms Of poor maid
ems through the window. Children
were taught to hang up their stock
ings which parents acting as the
saints deputies filled with sweets,
apples, nuts and toys. In England the
custom was abolished with the wor-
ship Of saints at the Reformation,
and was re-established in the -Ameri-
can guise Of Father Christmas in the
middle Of last century.
But In Holland Santa Claus makes
his visit on the right day, Dec. s. In
stead of stockings, the Dutch children
place their shoes, with straw in them
for the donkey on which Nicholas
rides, in front of the fireplace. In
the morning good children find pres
ents there, but the shoes Of the
naughty contain only a birch. The
custom is the same In France. In
southern Austria, young man, ar
rayed as St. Nicholas, In episcopal
robes, visits each house and examines
the children In their catechism. TO
those who answer we'll the saints at
tendant angels give fruit and sweets,
while demons are admitted to terror
ize the careless. On going to bed the
children place baskets or dishes on
the window sill for his future gifts.
Catholic Germany furnishes the transit
tion between the origin Of Nicholas
and modern Santa Claus Arrayed as
Father Christmas, he visits each home
and questions the children as to their
past conduct. For the good there are
cakes and fruit, and for all lecture.
He then asks what presents they
would like the Christ-child to bring at
Christmas.-London Daily Chronicle.

That eventuality, we are very sure,
would have been much more dis
tasteful to President Wilson than
