Chimney Swifts, the birds, all carry

So now, you know, my dears, when
you write a note and put it up the
chimney, how it comes that Santa
Claus gets it. Either the Sooties or
the Swifts take it. And if they don't,
Johnny Sweep sees to it. And even
the North Wind lends hand and
does his bit.
At any rate the notes all get there.
And if you have no chimney just
write note and lay it on your win

Claus messengers are everywhere.
And even if they don't take it, they
read it, there being so many notes to

THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS
(By Florence Borner)


Glad Christmas time has come again,
To greet us with the closing Year,
Sound: peace on earth good will to men"
Let voices ring with hearty cheer;
Then, let us stand in happy moodh
Before the. Yule4og's sparkling blaze,
And knowing that all things are good,
Sing out the songs OF other days.
The lover clasps his sweethearts hand,
While future scenes before him rise, -,
The magic of fairy's wand,
Has filled him with glad surprise:
He sees himself a goodly squire,
While children clambor round his knee
Entranced he sits before the fire,
Enwrapped in Loves sweet mystery.
The traveller, on his l,omeward way,
With packages Is laxen down,
Tomorrow will be Christmas Day,
And little children wait at home;
For roly-poy old Saint Nick
To come from out the land of Snow, -,
Then hurry down the chimney thick,
To fill each sock from top to toe.
The dog knows something's in the air,
Tho he can't spell or read book,
He feels that he will get his share,
And wags his tail with hungry look: T.
How good the children all appear,
Right willingly they do the chores,
without frown, sigh or tear,
Then hasten in from out of doors.
These pictures, humble tho they be,
The spirit show of Christmastide, 80.
The toy beuecked and lighted tree
The carols sounding far and wide:
Let fun and ,mirth pervade the air,
And all the joy-hells sweetly ritk,slytc.V
TIT people come from everywhere,
To sound the birthday OF King.
