WHO IS SANTA CLAUS? h Query Prompting One of the Pretty t-?g?nds of St. Nicholas. History says St Nicholas, the pa tron saint of Christmas, was bishop of Myra. In Lycia, and that he died about 326. Tradition fills in the meager details with a cumber of legends. Amor? his flock?so runs one?was a noble man with three daughters. From being rich he became so poor there remain ed no way of obtaining food for the maidens, who. having no bread to eat. wept continually, while their father grew more and more desperate. St Nicholas heard of the family's plight, and. taking a handful of gold, he re paired to the nobleman's house one night while the maidens slept und the father sat alone weeping. A cloud showed St. Nicholas an open window in the nobleman's home. So he threw in the gold, and It fell atI the feet of the nobleman, who. when he found it. returned thanks and pre | seated It to his eldest daughter as her wedding portion. t PAPA'S PART. % ?:?

Demand For Novelties Affords Good Workmen Profitable Employment. New designs in toys are as eagerly looked for by toymnkers as the new designs of a Paris dressmaker Some of the best artists make small fortunes by designing new toys. a notable case of this kind Is that of Ca ran d'Ache. the eminent French black and white artist. His physicians had or- 1 dcred him to take a rest. Partly to ' amuse himself and partly to entertain some children he began to whittle some little toys out of wood. Out of these grew his famous toys showing King Edward bagging pheasants. Em peror William ou a boar hunt. Carlos killing mountain sheep and President Roosevelt drawing a bead on a grizzly. Paris Is the only city that regularly holds toy expositions, and at these one may see every sort of toy made In lite world. The United States keeps a per manent exhibition of the toys of all nations and times in the ethnological spnee in tho national museum. From India. China. Africa. Alaska, Austra lia, from the remotest past down to the living present, these toys have been gathered. THE SEASON FOR TACT. Thoughtlessness In Yuletide Gifts Of ten Shatters Friendships. Many a pleasant friendship has been broken by ignorance of good form in gift making. Many a social career litis been nipped in the bud by a present ill chosen or wrongly sent. If you are rich and have some friend , %vln> has lost her money be careful that your gift does not reflect your knowl- ( edge of her financial straits. Remem ber that somehow she will manage to buy the obviously necessary thing, while her heart still hungers for the dainty, the luxurious touches of life. Agnin. there is the wealthy friend of your family to whom you brought letters of introduction when you came to town She lias not taken you Into the bosom of her family, but occasion ally at her large and general functions she has entertained you. Choose no gorgeous gift in such a case. Rather send her a beautiful flower on Christ mas morning with a well worded greeting or the newest book about which her world is surely talking. .j. l|I if if l|< ?K?{??'MM}.^.^Mj. <fy l|l .fr .fc if. 414l ifl f l|l 4> if MERRY CHRISTMAS, BABY. i JL Merry Christinas, baby, with iifo * ?
