AFRAID or SANTA
Black Tots at African Mission
Make for Place of Safety.
Presents of Apparel and Sweets Bring
Confidence to the Men, Women
and Riddles.

a N AMUSING story of how Santa
"A Claus frightened the black chill
dren at a mission station when he
first appeared to them a few years
ago, is told by the wife of mission
ary stationed at Bailunda, Africa.
They had celebrated Christmas at Baf-
lunda before, but they never had had
Santa Claus; so Mr.. Stover, the mis-
sionary, dressed up as good Saint Nick
"He had been padded and powdered
and packed until his own mother
would not have known him." Mrs
Slower afterward related. presently
we gave the signal, the door flew open
and In walked Santa Claus. But, dear
me! What CONSERVATION He was
greeted with shrieks and groans and
cries Of Let me out! 1t is the evil
one. 1t is the day Of Judgment
"The urchins, catching the infec-
ion of terror from the older black
people, fed to their bedrooms, fell
down upon their faces, crept under
chairs and tables-anywhere to hide
themselves. Poor old Santa Claus
never had such a greeting before. As
soon as he realized the panic he had
aused, he tore off his rail- hat and
white cotton beard. Then from the
bags on his back he began to throw
gifts right and left and to tell who
he was.
"Reassured once more, everyone
was soon laughing and chatting,
munching the great red breads
(doughnuts), tasting their fruits or
nibbling at the sweets from the ia
miliar little bags. One man wondered
which end UP he was to hold the fork
Santa Claus had given him. Another
Immediately tried on his new shirt.
The girls arranged their br1ght-hued
handkerchiefs into turbans, while
others sought to find some place about
their scanty clothing where they could
stow away their bunch Of bread, as
we'll as the paper Of needles and cake
of soap given to each.
"It seemed as though everyone tried
to talk louder than his neighbor as
they examined the costume Of Santa
Claus, whom they now no longer
feared. One man said that he thought
it was John the Baptist; another that
1t was Elijah returned. Yet another
thought it was Satan himself.

in Tie tests we're members OF the pres
ent sophomore class. II Is what is
known az the Tcrman test of general
intelligence. One hundred words are
selected from the Collegiate dictionary
The last word Of every sixth column
IA taken
The words are then arranged in or
der of simplicity, the easiest first,
gradually grading up to the most diff
iicult. 80 far as to help the person gain
confidence One half minute is given
in which the person can attempt TO
put down the meaning of the word.
II the definition given has the same
general meaning az the dictionary
and shows conclusivcly that the per
son knows how to use il, the word

dictionary contains $4,000 words and
100 words were chosen so that when
the number the pupil gets correct is
multiplied by $50 the result will show
the vocabulary possessed by that pu-
lpil.
nr. Dawson has used this test on
literally thousands of people with very
surprising results. In the sophomore

Icabu'ary of the SO men who took the
test was 12,225 words, according to
the Terman test or approximately
