My bruin refuse to riiijr lulls In connection with this iitiimul jiiisiIiriK. Perhaps!)- It Is because of following iitii'iilntc which hnpen to me: At h.'ine of Mrs. & Mr. J. Toko, Itockplle, N. J, which Is on the list of places where I nm no lonp-r there, I wns employed in thclcmldst. That family cniitaltii il only two ('') complete children, hut they were slllicicmly plenty. Hy name th. y was Hester and Lester, m:ed 5 & 7 respect fully. 'Huso ynmicly persons, when healthy, was full of childly amusements Including dlshlm-uk. rtitmwny, kiiocLaliiaits, and whittling pencils with laiher'u safety ruzor. nt hy approach of Xmns time they suddenly became otherwise. I notice this becnuse I seen It. They walk around with T. JI. C A. expression of toes and seem too "Oh chllillsh children!" I require from them, "why bo you do of Do jrou enjoy some sloeplng sickness to make you thusly silent?" "Hush It!" they depose. "Xnias are coming!" "Are Xmns. then, such saddtsh evect that you should anr.lt It without cheers?" I ask to know. "Oh, not Is'" they olllcute. "But, unless we behave very Sunday-school, Hon. St. Claua will not arrive with gifts of great cash valuation." I stand gast for this plienomlnal. So I go to Hon. Mrs. Poke anil require from her, "Hon. Mrs. Madam." I say bo, "who are this Hon. St. Claus who seem so Carnegie In his gifts ?" "He resemble Hon. Flying Dutchman," she suggest, with slyly winking. "No such person ever was." "How so!" I thatch off for horrors. "Then I must inform Hon. Hester & Lester about this mistaken personality." "Not to do!" she snugger peevly. "Why should not?" I ask to know, with eyebrows. "Because thus," she say It. my own voice." "How you could be so deceptive?" I terrify. "I do this to make my children less sinful In their comportment." she snuggest. "V hen they go around making gunman noises, I holla, 'Stop before Hon. St. Claus hear you and refuse to come!' If they tell untruthful lies, 1 : humiliate them by reproaching, 'Hun. St. Claus will snub you for this un truthfulness!'" I "Are It not somewhat sinful to relate them flbbulous tale to tender j child?" I negotiate. "Ah, no!" she abstract. "If childhood should not believe in St. Claus,! then most happy times would relapse forever. Togo, you must do everything j what possible to make them believe In this whisker-gentleman." "I shall attempt to think up something dellclously deceptive," are smart answer I make. i On date previously before XTnas I go to town-village with weekly salary, , price $5, and pm chase considerable wheel-cart, Bqueak-doll, Jump-up-Jack, j and other childish amusement. These I poke under overcoat and retreat j home slyly like snails walking over upholstery. j When night time was there, Hon. Hester & Lester was cruelly sent to bedtime and locked asleep so they would not find out about Hon. St. Claus. i As soonly as they niuko sleep, Mrs. & Mr. Poke command me for bring forth Xmas-tree.

G. D. SHELL Clash Against Xmas Tree Which Tottle Over Amidst Horble Fire Alarms. slasm, I fetch forth conMrternblo heavy toy-boxes from basement of cellar. Bach-broke feelings by nie. Vet I continue this labors until mixed assortment ot Xmas stood by trie wltU dwt ntlve labels about Hon. St. Claus. At 1 o'clock hour a. m. Mrs. and Mr. retire bedward, exhausted fromi observing my work. But my dutiful labors had Just commenced. I must pre pare to show those childish children how Hon. Mr. Claus down-slide down chlnibley I'tpe. All house was full of darkness. Frozen moonlight outside. With sneekret feetstepB, like snakes swimming in oil, I approach to closet and fetch forth following articles of clothes: 1 mlnklsh ottomoblle coat 3 boots of rubberly exterior ...'. 1 cap from E6klmo leather lb. cotton resembling whisker. I dron all them presents I bought Inside one laundry-bag, place myselt a Into those garments of clothes, then with detective toes I descend up through jjfl ttrlc to here ihimMey-pipe was on roof. ; 4 o'clock time now approach. Making affectionate hugs to Hon. Chlm- J bley, I could tell It was Xmas by the feel of the thermometer. By peeking l down Hon. Chlmhley, I could see how It was Bifflclently large hole to permit my Japanese smallness yet I must compress myself to do so. t enjoyed con siderable nervusneas like heroes expecting to dive down Mt. Vesuvius. Pretty soon'y 6 a. m. was there and I was not yet froze completely hard. By Msteriing down chinibley-plpe with telephone expression, I could hear childhood voices coming down-stairs saying "Oh!!" It were time for ma to muke some sllile. I pul Va W. ciiit.m to my chid, snuggle Hon. Bag to back, and commence climbing Into ihlmMcy. What was? Distlnctually I could smell slight smudj of sumM couiIiik upwards! Yet It were too late. Already 1 was slipptug, down slliig slowly. CTrtdit chokes enjoyed. When nearly down 1 stuck up sodJenlf. M'n clickcs. I "Ofc, hWIUp. ll'MHIll!" I HOV..1P. ! "Who there?" demand Hon. Telle below-down. 1 "Hon. 8t. Claus containing smoke!" I yellup. "Make haste or elss b ! quick'" I tome Individual persons grabb me at toes. With Intense drag t was ! pulled forth to lirepliiie where blazes was. My cottonly whisker become ! Inflamed, and In desperado attempt I clash against Xmas tree which tottlo i over amidst horble lire-alarms. Great holla by all. Then 1 am a hero, as ' usual. While all others make hook-aud-ladder noise, 1 embrace Hon. Tree with elbows and reject him outwards through window. Of finally all was silent, except slight niiell of smudj. "What lmpobslbillty are you attempting to act like?" require Hon. Mrs. sarcastly. "Hon. St Claus," I report. "Why you no entrance by door?" screech Hon. Mr. with wounded knuckle. "Doors' Is not respectable for Saints to come in by," 1 devote, "They are plenty for Japanese to go out by," resnort him, escorting me outwards with brutal jam. Ana when l was deploying away from there I hear Hester & Loster report In voice togethi-.r: "We have saw Hon. St. Claus. We do not care to meet such a person!" 60 1 depart off leeling like an umpossibility. Hoping you are the same, Yours truly, HAsniMURA rooo.
