like everything. This was to wake the
Old Folks up.
First, he called the roll, to see II
they were all up and awake. Then,
he began to pick the presents off the
tree.
Soon the room was gay with dolls,
horns and jumping jacks.
A doll was riding In her carriage,
sQueaking and rising up every few feet
as she rode along.
There was a talking doll, too. She
sang and talked when they pushed the
buttons on her dress.
There were hot dolls for cold nights
and cups and balls for the Old Folks
to play with when they could not
sleep.
The Old Folks all played with their
presents. They blew on their horns,
and amused themselves with the jump
ng-jacks, and sent the moving toys
running about the room all at once.
But, after all, the Old Folks thought
1t wasn't so very much fun because
there were no real children there. So
they sent out to see II they could find
some.
They found Lucy. Peter, Billy, Mary,
Sally, Hilda, Ruth, and some other
children, who all came TO see the
Old Folks Christmas tree.
Lucy told the Old Folks the story
about her dog Trump.
Trump was tramp dog, but he
could do some tricks. He loved to be
dressed up In a blanket, with a belt.
Then. with beribboned straw hat
on his head, he would walk across
the room upon his hind legs.
After Lucy came Peter.
Peter said that he did not know any
stories, but once he carried the flag
for the big boys baseball team, and
they let him go In to see the base
ball game. free.
Then Billy told a story.
He said that once he sat up all
night, waiting for Santa Claus to come
and fill his stocking. That is. he
tried to SIT up all night; but Santa
Claus didn't come and so he fell asleep
In the dark. The next day the doctor
came to see him. The doctor told him
he had had "stockiDgitis."
Billy said, too, that when he woke
up in the early morning and found
that Santa Claus had forgotten to I'LL
his stocking, he was going to throw
himself on the floor and pound his
heels on 1t and holler. But then he
happened to remember how ugly his

Another man asked him: What are

The Old Folks were having such q
good time listening to the stories that
they thought the children ought to
have a good time, too. So they TOOK
all their presents that had come OH
the tree and gave them to the little
folks who had come In.
Every boy and every girl had toy
