all heard Of the axis of the earth. on
which the world spins around. Santa
has connected up his machines with
the axis. and the great power which
makes the earth go around also runs
his lathes and saws and drills. For,
as YOU CA imagine, It takes a lot of

The next room was one of thou

everything was hustle and hustle
hammering and saving. Juggling and
pulling. Belts were buzzing. wheels
whirring. and knives grinding. as
Santa's little men were busy shaping
metal into trains and automobiles. and
carpenters were hammering and nail

AS we went on into another room,
the captain exclaimed. Well. I'd like

Two little men were trying out pair

Finally we came to the great candy

The visits to all these rooms took
a whole day. and Mrs. Cap was Won
