is done.
I—Thou shalt not fail to pro-
Vide life insurance for thy family.

OCR word Santa Claus Is a cor
ruption of the Dutch San Nic
olas, and the story of the
original saint from whom the
name and the custom come Is told
In the Encyclopedia Brltannlca as fol
lows: "St. Nicholas, bishop of Myra.
in Lyclii, a snliit honored by the Greeks
and the Latins on Dec. 6.
"His cult Is as celebrated ns his his
tory is obsouro. All the accounts that
have come down to us are of n purely
legendary character, and t is Impossi
ble to find any single Incident confirm
ed historically.
"The main facts of his life are usual
ly given as follows: lie was bishop of
Myra at the time of the ICmperpr Dio
cletlan, was persecuted, tortured for
the faith ami kept In prison until the
more tolerant rel«n of Consluntlne und
was present at the council of Nlcaea.
"It should be observed that this last
circumstance Is Ignored by all histo
rian and that St. Athannsius. whr
knew all the notable bishops of the
period, never niciilicns Nicholas, hlsh
op of Mytii. The oldest known nionn
ment of the cult of Et Nicholas scemK
to be tho rlihn h of Kfs. I'risen* and
Nicholas hunt at Constantinople li>
the Emperor J.igtlnlnn In the west
the name of St Nicholas In
the ninth century records the mar
tyrs. and churches dedicated to him
are to lie found at tho beginning of the
e.let.viH: century. It is more especial
ly, however, from the time of the re
moval «f his body to Barl, In Apulia,
that his cult became popular.
"The Inhabitants of Barl organized
an expedition, seized Ills remains by
means of a ruse and transported them
to Barl, where they were received In
triumph on the 9th of May. 10S7. and
where the foundations were laid for a
new basilica In his honor. This was
the origin of a famous and still popu
lar pilgrimage. There are nearly 400
churches In England dedicated to St
Nicholas. He Is the patron saint of
Hussla, the special protector of chil
dren, scholars, merchants and sailors.
"In art St. Nicholas Is represented
with "farlous attributes, being most
commonly depicted with three chil
dren standing In a tub by his side. Of
the various Interpretations of this none
Is absolutely certain.
"One explanation has been sought In
the legend of Rt Nicholas miraculously
restoring to life three rich youths who
had been murdered, cut up and con
cealed In a salting tnb by a thievish
innkeeper or butcher In whose house
they had taken lodging.
"A legend of his surreptitious be
stowal of dowries upon the three
daughters of an Impoverished citizen
who, unable to procure Ot marriages
for them, was about to sell them is
said to have originated the old custom
of giving presents In secret on the eve
of St. Nicholas, subsequently trans
ferred '.o Christmas day.
'"Hence the association of Christmas
with 'Santa Clans,' an American' cor
ruption of tho Dutch form 'San Nleo-
Inas.' the custom lielug brought to
America by the early Dutch colonists."
