A LETTER FROM SANTA
CLAUS.
To the Editor of Thii Paper:
Sir Won't somebody pleat
stop the rumor that is fast gain
ing ground? Not only grown
ups, but nearly every boy and
girl, on being questioned will
promptly say with a nice little
shake of the head, "There is no
Santa Claus." Now, this is
pretty hard on a fellow who has
been "on the job hundreds of
years.
I am going to ask a favor of
my still faithful folio were, wher
ever they may be. hopiofl that
some time I will be able to serve
them once more. This it what
they are to do: Send one pree
ent, say, to some one without
having their names appear.
Imagine the surprise and delight
and guesses as to who might
have sent it. The receiver may
exclaim, "It must have com
from Santy,' or, more probably,
he or she will radiate smilee to
every one, seeing in each friend
and relative a possible sender.
This will warm the heart of
SANTA CLAUS.

You didn't know that Santa had
At home a little pet?
He uro!y has that's how lie knowi
What girlie' things to get!
And he was once a boy himself,
And very fond of toys,
So he remembers what he liked
And what will please the boys.
