Y KRINGLE, Esquire, was reg.
HI istered from the North Pole
at all Of San Antonio's leading
hotels Friday morning.

in bed, stretched luxuriously and
gave a prodigious yawn, "but you
can tell the people of San Antonio
that last night was one Of my bust
est, and that the fun i had was
worth all of the trouble"
THE HOWDY man backed cere-
L moniOusIy toward the door as
Santa slipped further down between
the covers of his bed.

Friendly Station every night, and
L wish you would hive your an
nouncer tell her over the radio to-

CANTA'S words became inaudible.
- and as The Light man closed
the door, the visitor from the North
Pole was gently snoring with a
pleased smile on his ruddy face.

Spreaders on Round
of Institutions.

A thousand hearts made happy. A
thousand smiles to brush away the
heartaches and cares. A thousand
paens of gratitude to the BEST Peo-

Elks on Christmas morning. For far
and wide over the whole city, north,
south, east and west, they went to ev-
cry orphanage and old folk home to
bring cheer and gladness Christmas
morning.
Baby tots, three and four years old,
Rugged their dolls in glee; older girls
were happy with books and toys;
lettering old age clasped warm and
comforting wraps in their arms: here
pipe and tin of tobacco for some
aged man; tin soldiers and toy wa

tennis racquets for the older boys, and
big stocking filled with candies and
goodies for all. And in every place
glittering, star-bespangled illumin-

ELKS BAND PLAYS.
As the Elks band played Christmas
airs, Santa Claus made ready to come
down the chimney. Shouts Of glad

boy, aged woman and man in every
institution in San Antonio. All were
remembered.
Leaving the Elks Club at Navarro

LETTER FROM
PLEASANT HILL, TENN.

The Juniors of the Congregational
Sunday School sent cards, pencils,
books, ETC., in the ladies' missionary
box, to the hospital at Pleasant Hill,
Tenn. The following letter was re-
ceived by them from the matron:
Dear Juniors:
Thank you so much for all those
nice things that came in the big box
from River Falls last night. can
always use such things in so many
ways!
One of the painting books, the
Noah's Ark one, ! think am going
to send out to Bert, who was so ter
ribly burnt away back in October,
'23. We never thought he could get
well. One day they sent for his
folks and he babe them all goodbye,
but after that he did begin to mend.
Last May they made a triumphal
procession with Bert on stretcher
and all his relatives and friends
trailing beside and behind, and they
carried him out TO his home. You
see his mother had been here ali
winter taking care of him, but when
it came spring his father had to
plant the crops and couldn't tend the
house and children too, so Bert and
his mother went home.
