“IEMYCMRISTM1S"
An old Dutch tale relates that
a poor woodchopper, his wife and
three daughters lived in the
Black Forest. Near by lived St.
Nickolas, a very wealthy monk.
One night St. Nickolas heard
the oldest girl crying. She could
not marry without a dowery and
her father could not provide the
money. St Nicholas tilled a bag
with gold and threw it thru a
window of the woodchopper’s
hut The girl married.
The same thing Irappened
when the second girl was old
enough to wed.
The parents believed that the
youngest daughter, too would re-
ceive a bag of gold from the un-
known friend. But they wished
to thank him. So they boarded
up all the windows Then, they
thought he would knock at the
door and deliver his gift in per-
son.
But St. Nickolas waited till far
in the night. The house grew
quiet. The wood fire died. The
family slept—he thought So
he climbed to the roof very soft-
ly and went down the wide Dutch
chimney.
Supposing he had fooled them,
St. Nicholas chuckled as he
looked about the room for a place
to leave his gold. The daughter’s
stockings had been hung by the
fireplace to dry. And he poured
the money into one of them,
laughing at how surprised she’d
be in the morning.
But parents and daughter had
been watching from behind a
door. When they rushed out to
thank him—whisk! he was gone
up the chimney, shouting as he
scrambled’ "Marry on Christ-
mas." That’s why we say,
"Merry Christmas.”
Early Dutch settlers brought
the story of St. Nickolas. When
they tried to pronounce the name
in English they said ‘Sant Nick-
lauss." Gradually itchanged in-
to the "Santa Claus’’ of today.

latter part of last week from
Washington D. C. where he had
gone to view the financial out-
look from a national standpoint.

will likely not be loaned freely
for several months owing to the
huge debts of the nation, the
states, the municipalities, coun-
ties and individuals creating a
tremendous demand for money,
but that he finds it the opinion

TUPS
Well, Old Year, good-bye—Taps while you die!
You brought a lot of new things to us. You have told us
a lot of our failings and hel’ ed us to step better. You have
tripped ua up and knocked us down and talked cross to us,
at times. But we understood, and didn’t mind, because we
knew you thought a lot of us.
8o Taps to you, as you steal away into a past strewn with
the efforts of the mighty.
We made • lot of mistakes while you were with us, Old
Year. But Taps to them. We went ahefcd and did things
without thinking them carefully out. And then you told ufe
afterward of these blunders. So, you see, we learned. Thank
you, Old Year.
How many times we were disappointed! What great
things passed us by! But Taps for them, now, too.
Life, after all, is but an unfolding, a sowing and a reap-
ing, a going to bed at night time and a getting up in the
morning, tears and laughter, work and rest, while Time
plays about us. But now you are going away, Old Year.
Good luck to you with what we have given to you. Taps!
For all that we have lost or failed in—Taps!
But no regrets—just gladness for chances, and a million
prods of every sort hidden away in the somewhere to find us
all anew in the glad New Year that will awaken us on the
morrow. We tried, we failed—we won.
While you go, we smile, and a few tears touch our Bmiles.
But we blow our Taps. Listen to them, Old Year.
And good-bye!
