IF YOU DON’T B’LIEVE IN SANTA
CLAUS.
(By Frank L. Stanton.) .
I.
If you don’t b’lieve in Santa Claus,
and that your way he’ll call,
Don’t mind,the Christmas stocking—
don’t hang it up at all!
But when Christmas winds are whis
tlin’, and the home-lights burn in’
dim,
He rides away from little folks that
don’t believe in him!
II.
When you hear his sleigh-bell jingle
on the house-tops snowy-white.
Say: ‘‘The wind is playin’ music for
the witches o’ the night!”
When he’s slidin’ do'Cn the chimneys
of the still and dreamy town—
”Tis the wind that wants to warm
himself—the wind is cornin’
down!”
III.
f you don’t b’lieve in Santa Claus,
like other folks b’lieve.
Just wait till Fourth o’ July, and for-
forget it’s Christmas eve!
Say: ‘‘The children—they just
dreamed him, and they think he’s
true-and-true!”
And don’t hang up your stocking—for
he won’t believe in you!
IV.
When the floor is piled with Play
things, and the Christmas trum
pets blow.
Say no fairy-folk has been there, and
that Santa Claus ain’t so!
When your stockln’s lookin’ lonesome,
then you’ll know the reason why:
You’ll wish you’d made-believe in him
’fore Santa Claus went by!
m
W
m

to.
Your great and great grand-people—
they knew him far away.
(There’s toys that he gave them in the
attic there today!)
The chair grandfather dreams in—he
gave him that, you know,
For bein’ once a little boy and be
lievin’ in him so!
IV.
But—don’t you hang your stocking up
if you don’t think that way
And kftow lots more ’bout Santa Claus
than folks that’s old an gray;
But—when Christmas winds are whis
tlin’, and the mornin’ stars burn him
He rides away from little folks that
don’t believe in him!

over any goods, but to close them out at the end of the sea
son, regardless of price. We therefore offer the odds’and
ends of this season’s selling at sharp reductions. While there
may be only a few Suits of a kind, there is a complete assort
ment of sizes and models, so that the tall man and the short
one, the stout man and the slim one—any figure-can be
fitted and suited.
Every Suit included in this sale is from our regular stock
—no cheaply made merchandise bought for the occasion--
