THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, DEC. 14, 1010.
THEIR FIRST
I
CHRISTMAS, i
i
The llttlo Snoozers had never bad a
Ouristmns, and Mary, the oldest cldld,
was twelve years old.
Then Mary read a book with such a
glowing description of a Christmas in
a city homo that her blood tingled with
delight and desire.
"Why, Dick," she snld to her ten-year-old
brother, "all wo'vo got to do is
to hang up our stockings by tlio chim
ney and nn old man named Santa
Olaus comes down and lllls them
chuck full of pretty things. It seems
too good to bo true, but that Is what
tlio book says."
"Let's all hang up our stockings to
morrow night and see what comes of
It Shall we?"
Dick was agreed; so wero all the
rest
Now, Reuben Snooror, father of th
oblldrcn, was not a poor man, but h
frowned down all holidays, calling
thorn "notliln' but tarnal foolishness,"
"on, fa pa, yours is de biggest!"
bo when he came into the great farm
kitchen that night, after the children
had gone to bed, he "ha-ha-hahed"
loudly, while he busied himself filling:
up the little stockings.
Next morning the children, fumbling
excitedly in their stockings, found only
sticks, stones and corncobs and went
back to bed In chagrin.
"Never mind," said Mary, trying to
comfort the others. "Santa Claus must
have made a mistake, for not one of
you is bad. Walt until next year and
perhaps he will understand by that
time."
Of course she found out all and went
about with a smiling face for two
months beforo the next Christmas.
Sho determined that the smaller chil
dren should have a Christmas if she
had to make it for them herself. She
took no one Into her confidence but
her brother Dick. She needed him to
cut the tree, after father and mother
had gone to bed, and help her to sot It
up and trim it.
How noiselessly they worked that
still Christmas eve! And when the
tree was all loaded down with festoons
of popcorn, red apples, gilded nuts,
paper angels and gingerbread horses,
wonderfully and fearfully made.
It was 1 o'clock In the morning when
she and Dick went to bed, but he was
too happy to sleep. It was not later
than 5 o'clock Christmas morning when
Mary awakened the younger children
and they all stole softly downstairs.
Dick lighted the lamp, and then such
shouts of delight filled the big kitchen
that Iteuben Snoozer sprang up In bed,
listening intently.
"Blame them yotmgens!" he exclaim,
ed. "Wonder what they're up to
ne-ow!"
"Poor little dears!" sighed their moth
er. "Might think they'd found a gold
mine the way they holler, .lust wait
nntli I get down there. Don't be hard
on 'era, Iteuben. Remember you were
child once."
"Never had no such foolishness when
I was u boy, you may depend on It,"
and in his hasto Iteuben Snoozer ran
downstairs In his bare feet.
He could hardly believe his senses
when ho opened the door that led into
the kitchen, for there was a Are In tho
great cook stove, a decorated Christ
mas tree In one corner and his children
wero sitting around on tho floor, their
laps filled with oranges, apples, cako
and candy which they had Just emp
tied out of their Btockings, and wIich
tittle Iteuben, his namesake, with great
Dining eyes, sprang to him, exclaim
ing, "Papa, dere's Kumpln in you's and
mamma's 'tockln's, too; Santa Claus
didn't forget yours nelser," he never
felt so cheap in his lifo.
With a grimace he took down his
great woolen sock from a nail and
thrust in his hand, to draw out one of
Mary's famous gingerbread horsos.
"Oh, papa, yours is do biggest!"
ahouted llttlo Iteuben. "Old Santy
knowed you liko big horses."
Then tho farmer took out his hand
kerchief and snorted Into it with bus
picious vehemence.
Later he said to his wife: "You could
have knocked mo down with a feather,
I was uever ho touched as when them
ar children wanted me myself to havo
a Christmas when I had alius kicked
bo hard against them havln one. Let's
havo a turkey dinner, with mince plo
and plum pudding,"
Tho mtlo Snoozers wero novcr bo
happy in their lives before, and,
though they havo had many a delight
ful Christmas since, they declare they
never enjoyed one so much as the first.
CURING SICK ROADS.
A Physician Treated a Small Section
at His Own Expense.
I need not count them up; any
thoughtful country person can lniag
Ino a largo numbor, if not all, of tho
discomforts the busy country physi
cian 1 subjected to In travollng up
and down tho ordinary country
roads. I have novor hoard of any of
them getting "llvor grown," whatever
that may bo, although I havo known
Botno who have had to bo undor con
tinual expenso to the carriage doctor
for the cure of rickets In wagons, bug
gies, etc.
We have a doctor in East Lampoter
who got tirod of bad roads, especially
of ono Bectlon oror which ho was
obliged to rattle dally. Ho asked that
tho road be ropaired and it was not
done. Then ho had the work dono at
his own expenso and according to his
own notions. But ho mad 9 tho grave
mistake of not obtaining tha permis
sion of the road supervisors to turn
ono of tho worst roods in tho county
into ono of tha best at his own ex
penso. A keen Lancaster lawyer
found for tho supervisors an old fool
law saying a private citizen may not
take such revolutionary Ubortlos, and
Dr. Donald McCaskey, of East Lampe
ter Township, In tho groat red roso
county of Lancaster, was haled into
court for thus trespassing upon the
prerogatives' of the township super
visors. The good road work tho doctor had
done and was doing with his drag ap
pealed to many of his fellow taxpay
ers and road usors, and two factions
grew up in the township ono for and
ono against the doctor. People insido
and outside the township began to
laugh about the suit brought against a
public spirited privato citizen who
had spent his own money for the pub
lic good. The newspapers over the
state made comments. The suit has
been allowed to He In court or die
there, and the undaunted doctor has
kept his drag going. Then his fellow
citizens concluded if ho could doctor
and cure a little road he could do a
lot more of it, and they elected the
doctor road supervisor ono of three
with the split drag the main plank
in the platform.
Ono of the doctor's first official
moves was to buy some thirty drags
and put them in the hands of as many
dependable fanners, with their Jobs
cut out for them from one-half to ono
mile of road; never more than a mile.
For the dragging of hl3 allotment each
man is held personally responsible.
After every rain, out with the drag.
The pay for man and team Is 40 cents
an hour; no shirking, no graft.
This Is Dr. McCaskey's diagnosis
of the road situation. If wo wait in
Pennsylvania till tho state shall build
us "good" roads tho present genera
tion will be too old to travel them.
The logical thing to do is to do tho
best we cau with our earth roads and
our present amount of tax. Some of
tho macadam state and county built
roads have not proved satisfactory.
The cost for maintenance seems to bo
quite as much as we now spend on
our present earth roads. Supervisor
McCaskey Is giving us a demonstra
tion in spending our road tax, not to
repair but to improve our highways.
Another public spirited citizen of
East Lampeter Township manifests
enough Interest In tho better roads of
tho split drag to offer a prize to tho
drag driver who shall procuco the best
Bectlon of road this year. W. P. Mc
Sparran, Furnlss, Pa.
Improving Country Roads.
(Tho following advice, by Prof. R.
L. Parshall of the Colorado Agricul
tural College, though Intended speci
fically for tho far West, is worth con
sidering In many eastern regions.)
When tho farmers Insist upon good
roads, we shall havo them, and not
until that time will we enjoy pleasant
and safe riding in the country.
How often, when driving along a
lane In the country, we find the road
first on one side, then on tho other,
with drain ditch taking Its natural
course, usually down the center of tho
lane. How much better it would be
if tho lane wero only graded up In
tho center, with two good drain
ditches down each side! Tho only
evil doer to roads is water. Tho first
principle of construction Is tho means
of keeping the road dry.
The soils of our state are capable
of making excellent roads. The prairie
soils contain raoro or less clay, and
in all probability havo a considerable
shrinkage when dry that is, when
the road is hard and dry cracks will
appear.
Tho ordinary country road is easily
mado, and two Important factors
mako good roads: Keop tho road well
crowned and smooth, and provide
good drain ditches. If those are at
tained, only good, hard, smooth roads
will result
It Is sometimes necessary to pass
tho drain ditch from one side of the
road to the other by means of a cul
vert Do not mako tho culvorts too
small. Economy In culverts often ap
pears on the wrong page of tho ledger.
In tho construction of culverts, per
manency is tho principal item, and
tho culvert should bo so placed as
readily to take care of the water, and
be placed at such a depth as not to
cause a projection in tho road surface.

SANTA CLAU:
REINDEER.
Did you ever stop to think Just how
old Santa Claus is? You'll find that
your father knew . the Jolly old soul
Just as well ns you know him, and so
did your grandfather, your great
grandfather and oh. Just as far back
as you can go among your ancestors.
From this you will suppose, of courso,
that Santa is very, very old. And you
are right for he lived long beforo peo
ple came to Inhabit the earth.
But Snnta Claus didn't always ltr
where ho does now amid the lc and
snow of the north polo. Thousands of
years ago he dwelt in a world far
from ours, and all by himself. It lm
oil the more wonder that ho should ba
so merry when for such a long time
he was so lonely, with only his elree:
and sprites to keep him company.
Perhaps (who knowst) even then he
made toy and playthings, not for mor
tals, but for the little angel chUdren.
After a time, however, when he saw.
that tha earth was becoming wall
populated, Santa Clans decided that
here was the proper place for him,
where he could do more good than
upon bis lonely little planet
So Santa built himself a brand new
sleigh, filled it full of all sorts of
toys, and, accompanied by his merry
elves, set out through tho heavens on
his long Journey. Now, at that time
he had no reindeer, but ho merely
hitched the sleigh to the tall of a
whizslng comet. The earth was reach
ed in a Jiffy, I can tell you.
But, as the comet landed upon the
north pole with a thud and a crash
nnd a rumble, what should It do but
bury beneath it n whole herd of rein
deer! Snnta, who, of course, had como
to the ground quite gently, was very
sorry, Indeed, thnt such an accident
should havo happened.
"Perhaps, after all," said he, "I can
bring good fortune out of ill."
So the good, kind man bad his elves
bring the reindeer to life again by sim
ply breathing upon them, and to show
further that his former cruel act was
unintentional he gave them the honor
of drawing his wonderful sleigh.
And it Is those same magic reindeer
who hnve ever since served Santa
faithfully, too, for they love him for
his kindness to them.
About the Elephant.
Elephants have a wonderful amonnt
of self control. They will submit day
after day to have painful wounds
dressed by their keeper and meet dan
ger in obedience to orders, though their
intelligence is sufficient to understand
their peril and far too great for man
to trick them into n belief that it is
nonexistent. No animal will face dan
ger more readily at man's bidding.
As an instance, take the following
incident, which recently occurred in
East India: A small female elephant
was charged by a buffalo in high grass,
and her rider, in the hurry of tho mo-
meut and tho sudden stopping of the
elephant, fired nn explosive shell from
his rifle, not into the buffalo, but Into
tho elephant's shoulder. The wound
was so severe that it had not healed a
year later. Yet the elephant stood
firm, although it was gored by tho
buffalo, which was then killed with
another gun. What is even more
strange is that tho elephant was not
"gun shy" afterward.
Christmas.
Laugh, lauuh, llttlo one;
Laugh loud and tons.
Santa Is coming here soon.
Blng. sing, dear child;
Sing a Christmas eons.
Santa Is coming here soon.
Ring, ring, little hells;
Ring clear and sweet.
. Baby Is listening for you.
Trot hard, little steeds,
On your reindeer feet.
Baby Is watching for you.
Swell fast, llttlo socks.
Crow knobby and fat.
The children eagerly watt
Good night, good Santa.
Give cacti one a pat.
The children so eagerly watt.
Christmas In Greenland.
Prcparatloua In Greenland tor this
Joyous festival, which Is looked for
ward to with tho most enthusiastic an
ticipation, begin months bofore. All
tho gifts, which consist chloily of
clothing, aro inndo by tho women. Not

Christmas Day.
Now all our neighbors' chimneys smoke.
And Christinas blocks aro burning.
Their ovens they with baked meats choke
And on their spits are turning.
Without tho door let sorrow He,
And If for cold It hap to dlo
We'll bury It In a Christmas pie
And evermore bo merry.
Hark, hark! What news, what joyful
news.
To all the nations round!
Today rejoice! A King Is born.
Who Is with elory crowned!
And all the belts on earth shall ring
On Christmas day, on Christmas day,
And all the bells on earth shall ring
On Christmas day In tho morning.
