SANTA’S HEADQUARTERS,
U. S. A., DEC. 14. ’l6.
Dear Little Folks And Grown Ups:
While I could not secure a large line of Imported
Goods, still my work shops in the U. S. A. have been
busy all the year turning out toys—so that every lit
tle girl and boy in this country can have a toy made
in America.
My special attention has been called to the Southland,
and my aim to establish headquarters in my town,
and on my tour of inspection l discovered the DOD
SON 10 CENT CO, in Jackson, Ga. So to this store
I have brought a large pack and shall make this store
my headquarters, which 1 wish all little folks and
grown ups to come and see what I have here. So
thanking you for same,
Your old friend,
SANTA CLAUS.

The Artist’s Inspiration
It is not remarkable that the Nativi
ty, the adoration of the Magi and the
annunciation to the shepherds, the di
vine events of Christmastide, should
have inspired painters and sculptors
for centuries. The birth of Christ and
the incidents attending his infancy
were, naturally enough, the themes of
Christian song long before they were
the subjects of Christian art, but from
the thirteenth century on they found
reverent representation at the hands
of those artists who, inspired by the
religious spirit of the middle ages,
turned to Biblical subjects for the no
blest examples of their art. Symonds
gays: “The stable of Bethlehem, the
star led kings, tbe shepherds and the
angels—all of the beautiful story, in
fact, which St. Luke alone of the evan- !
gelists has preserved for us—are what j
the whole Christian world owes to the
religious feelings of the Hebrews. The
first and second chapters of St. Luke
are the most important in the history
of Christian mythology and art."
In poetry Milton’s vision, told in his (
‘‘Hymn on the Morning of Christ’s Na
tivity”—
It was the winter wilde,
While the heav’n bom chllde,
All meanly wrapt, in the rude mange ■
is fit expression of the conceptions o.
those who wrought in paint or in mar
ble or clay to give lifelike representa
tion to the events of that one Christ
mas night. Marcellus’ speech to Ham
let—
Some say that ever ’gainst that season
Wherein our Saviour's birth eelehrated.
The bird of dawning singeth all nig
And then, they say, no spirit dare stir
The nights are wholesome; then no P lan
No nor witch hath power to
' tnai m,
So hallowed and so gracious Is the lime—
has some part of the mystery of the
joyous message which the birth of
Christ brought to the world. With oth
ers Rossellino has imparted a sense of
religious reverence and inspiration to
the group. With what simple adoration
does the graceful figure of the Virgin
‘bend Ofer the child—an adoration
which the sculptor has blended expres
sively with the tenderness of maternal
love. A delicate, sensitive beauty of
face, lifelike in texture, and a charm
ing, rhythmic grade of line —such must
have been the portrayals of the Nativ
ity seen by Milton on his Italian Jour
ney which so tinged his visions. In
the center lies the infant Christ, and
on the left sits St. Joseph, a figure
which compels our admiration quite
as much as that of the Virgin. In ex
pression the face is thoughtfully won
dering and reverent. The ox and the
ass, tradioual figures of the Nativity,
complete the group.
Hang Up Shoes and Slippers.
Instead of hanging a Christmas
stocking, Spanish children hide their
shoes and slippers in the bushes on
Christmas eve and find them filled with
fruit and sugar plums on Christmas
morning. For weeks before the festi
val the windows of the confectioners
and pastry cooks are bright with com
fits appropriate to the occasion.

A MISTAKE
Bobby was saying his prayers in
a very low voice.
“I can’t hear you, dear,” his moth
er whispered.
“I wasn’t talking to you,” replied
Bobby firmly.
“A Child Is Born,”
Take courage, soul, in grief cast down;
Forget the bitter dealing.
A Child is born in David’s town
To touch all souls with healing.
Then let us go and seek the Child,
Children like him, meek, undefiled.
—Hans Christian Andersen.
NO HIGHER PRICE FOR THIS
While food and clothing have ad
vanced in cost, it is well for the sick
that the prices of such reliable fam
ily remedies as Foley Kidney Pills
are not increased. Foley Kidnoy Pills
cost little and relieve backache, pains
in sides and loins, sore muscles, stiff
joints, rheumatic pains and bladder
trouble. The Owl Pharmacy.

A Legend of Christmas
In sword and sash and scarlet coat
Upon a Christmas day.
Through frosty woods and hoary
fields
A soldier rode away.
She watched Lira through the falling
snow,
A young and lovely maid
In milky pearls and flowing robes
Of velvet green arrayed.
With rumors of the distant wars
The months went slowly by
Till once again the Christmas bells
Were pealing to the"sky,
And, walking in the lonely wood,
A bush the maiden found
With thorn' as sharp as little swords
And scarlet berries crowned.
She leaned against an ancient oak
And wove a wreath to wear
Of scarlet berries, bright and gay,
And set it cn her hair.

And, 10, the pearls upon her breast
Were changed to berries, too,
And, rooted to the oak, a branch
Of mistletoe she grew.
When sweet and clear the Christ
mas bells
Ring out o’er vale and hill
The maiden-mistletoe is seen
In pearls and velvet still,
And with her in the revels ruled
By music, mirth and foliy,
In sword and scarlet still anayed,
Behold the soldier-holly!
