I ’t SOCIAL EVENTS
A VISIT FROM SANTA
"Last night when you had gone
to bed,
A quaint old fellow came to call,
Dressed in a shining suit of red
And just as round as he was tall.”
I said to them and with a shout
They asked me what he talked
about.
“Well, Well,” said I, “I took his
hat
And offered him my easy chair,
He filled his pipe and down he sat
And smoked awhile in comfort
there
And then he asked in a manner
grave,
‘How do these tots of yours be
have?’
“ ‘And do they mind their Ma and
Pa,
And go to bed without a fuss?
Come, tell me just what sort they
7. are!
Speak up! There’s just the pair
of us.
How with their vegetables? Do
They eat the things you want
them to?’ ,
For just a minute I was scared,
I wished he hadn’t asked me that;
You see I wasn’t quite prepared
For questions so direct and flat;
And thei\ he flung this one at me:
“Are they as good as they can
be?’
I chuckled as I saw them stare
And watched the guilty glances
play
Across those frightened faces
there
And heard them cry: “What did
you say? »»
Said I: “I told him, as their Pa
They’re as good as children ever
are.”

Trial Marriage Idea of Official
Hits Snag in His Own Household
Omaha, Neb., Dec. 22.—The
two year trial marriage law pro
posed by Dr. A. S. Pinton, health
commissioner of Omaha, may meet
with approval elsewhere, but it is
encountering violent opposition in
the doctor’s own home. Mrs. Pin
to, wife of the commissioner,
doesn’t believe in any such stuff.
Dr. Pinto, several days ago, an
nounced that he would support
a bill in the next legislature pro
viding for cancellation of all mar
riages where children are not born
within two years.
In Hot Water.
' Since then Dr. Pinto has been
in hot water, but he holds to his
assertion.
Preachers, doctors, lawyers,
club women and just ordinary peo
ple have taken side for and
against.
Pinto stood to his guns until
Mrs. Pinto came out against his
proposed law. Even now he has
not retracted.
Laughs at Him.
‘Jl’m opposed to any such stuff, H
says Mrs. Pinto. “No, it is not
going to break up our home. I
just laugh at him, that’s all. The

years before there was a little

“So no matter how the doctor

Dr. Pinto got into public office
that he has done any of this talk
