WHO IS SANTA CLAUS? Tradition Answer* With «l I'retty Story. It in frequently asked, "Who is Santa Clans ?" Here is si story about him that lets light upon his real character. He was bishop of Myra and died about the year 320. Among his parishioners (so runs one story) there lived a certain no bleman who had three daughters. Prom being rich he became so poor that there seemed to him no means of obtaining food for his daughters but by sacrificing them to a dishonorable life. Over ami over again the thought came into his mind to tell them so, but shame ami sor row held him dumb. Meanwhile the maidens wept continually, not knowing what to do and having no bread to eat, and their father became more and more desperate. When St. Nicholas heard of this, he thought it a shame that such a thing should happen in a Christian land. Therefore one night when the maidens were asleep and their father alone sat watching and weeping he took a handful of gold and tying it up in a handkerchief repaired to the nobleman's dwelling. lie considered how he might bestow it with out making himself known, and while he stood irresolute the moon coming from behind a cloud showed him an open win dow. So he threw in the gold, and it fell at the feet of the father, who, when he found it, returned thanks and presented it to his eldest daughter as her wedding portion. A second time St. Nicholas col lected a similar sum, and again he throw it in by night. So a wedding portion was provided for the second daughter. But the curiosity of the old nobleman was now excited. lie greatly desired to know who it was that came to his aid. There fore he determined to watch. When the good saint came for the third time and prepared to throw in the third portion, he was discovered, for the nobleman seized him by the skirt of his robe and flung himself at his feet, saying, "Oh, Nicholas, servant of (»od, why seek to hide thy self?" And he kissed his feet and hands. But St. Nicholas made him promise that he would tell no man. CHRISTMAS IN THE SOUTH. How the Day V.'.ns Celebrated In Olden Times. Sixty years ano skyrockets, Roman can dles and Chinese firecrackers were un known in the south. The same may be said of the Christmas tree outside of the old Episcopal parishes. And still the boys of those early days made a deal of pother by the bursting of hogs' bladders and the tiring of shotguns at the break of day. The morning eggnog was seldom omitted in their matutinal festivities. The old time negroes, the happiest yeo manry of the world, were never refused their traditional Christmas dram. There were then no poorhouses, no charity hos pitals, and the benevolent machinery of these degenerate days was unknown be cause not needed. Country quiltings were all the rage in the rural districts, and when work was finished the neighboring fiddler was summoned. After 110 little turning and scraping the swains and their sweethearts stood up vis-a-vis in two lines. At the words "Set to your partners" they footed it quite nimbly through the mazes of the Virginia reel—no stately minuet, no high falutin german, but a rollicking move ment that shook the floor until., as Burns puts it, The roof and rafters a' dia dirl. Those were halcyon days the like of which is not scon nowadays. Cunning. Jiinmie—But your stockin's have holes in them. Johnnie— Sh! I'm goin' ter put a basket beneath 'em.—New York Journal.
