Old Santa Claus sat with his hands on his knee- Old Santa was worried and said with a frown, My reindeers are lame, and my sleigh can’t be found. Then he happened to think, and said with much zeal, Why can’t I go in my automobile? He went to the garage and cranked his machine But no lights could be have for fear he’d be seen. The police pulled him in for hav ing no lights And that’s why he missed lots of children that night. —Mrs. Fannie Baird, Cromwell, Ind. A Million Dollars Worth The thing that goes the farthest toward making life worth while That costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile. The smile that bubbles from the heart that loves its fellow men We’ll drive away the cloud of gloom and coax the sun again. It’s full of goodness, too, and many kindness blent It’s worth a million dollars, and it doesn’t cost a cent. There is no room for sadness when we see a cherry smile, It always has the same good look —it’s never out of style. It moves us on to try again when failure makes us blue; The dimples of encouragement are good for me and you. It pays a higher interest for it is merely lent, THE BLACK MOUNTAIN NEWS It’s worth a million dollars, and it' doesn’t cost a cent. A smile comes very easy—you can wrinkle up with cheer A hundred times before you can squeeze out a soggy tear. It ripples out, moreover, to the heart strings that will tug, And always leaves an echo that is nearly like a hug. So smile away, my dearest friend we understand what by a smile is meant, It’s worth a million dollars and it doesn’t cost a cent. —Mrs. Fannie Baird, Cromwell, Ind.
