This 4th dav of tecember, 1906. A. J. P,l’ltCh, Sheriff M. C., Ga. Santa Claus In Salt Lake Where the Good Saint Got the Surprise of His Life. TO a thrifty Mormon household came the patron saint of \ uie; He wes pulling like an engine, he was laden like a mule. For he knew a row of stockings such as nowhere else is seen Would be yawning there before him in the home of Elder Green. So he shoved his pack ahead of him and started down the flue. While he muttered, “This is something that I hate like smoke to do." Then he followed with reluctance through thj Smooty, smudgy air, Quickly landing where the hosiery was hung in many a pair. SEVEN PAIRS, ALL BABY SIZES. There were papa’s socks and twenty pairs of lengthy wifely hose; There were socks for Eddie, Willie, for Eliphalet and Mose; There were stockings of Matilda’s, Esmeralda’s and Susanne’s; There were Charley's hose and Molly’s, Cora Belle's and little Dan's. Amaryllis, George, Alphonso, Peter, Joseph, Maud, Eugene, Arthur, Lizzie, James, Amelia, Mary, Frances and Irene, Briggie, Reed, Lucile, Clorinda. Arethusa, John, Estelle. Mattie, Lucifer, Elfrida from his lips their titles fell. But about the shelf there dangled other hose whose owners’ names He could not recall to save him as he watched the dying flames— Seven pairs, all baby sizes, each in age not quite a year. “Gee I" cried Nick. “Been something doing since the last time 1 was here! Glad I brought a stock of rattles and a lot of teething rings— Utah always gives a market for such kindergarten things. From ‘race suicide' she ever has discreetly held aloof. And there's not a home in Zion free from stork tracks on the roof." —Judge. Tlie Modern Mistletoe. Prominent In the Christmas revels anrl, with the holly, most essentially “Chrlstmasy” of all the plants used was the mistletoe. With us the old significance and sacredness have gone, leaving but charm enough to give the well known privilege to the man who meets a girl beneath It. There exists also In some places the tradition that the glri who Is not kissed under the mistletoe will not be married for a year. (The present writer once knew a thoughtful and provident damsel who wore a hat trimmed with the sacred plant.) But the kiss permitted In old en time was originally of the religious variety, our mistletoe celebration be ing borrowed from Scandinavian, lore. —Critic. Said Little Socratfu. “Some generous person,” said little Socrates Bulginbrow of Boston, “has been kind enough to send me a copy of Mother Goose’s lyrics for Christ mas. Do you know, the theory that a representative of the bovine genus at one time leaped over the chief lumi nary of the night leads to some Inter esting calculations as to the muscular development of the cows of that time, r have ascertained that they must have been endowed with strength propor tionate to that of the flea of the pres ent day.”—Baltimore American. A Hard Headed Hoy. “Daps Jes’ dis about it.” sa!!d Mam my Minerva, “I’s gotter ban’ dat Pick aninny Jim over to de Society Foh de Prevention o’ Cruelty to Animals.” “What's he been doin’?” “We give him a goat foh a Christ mas present, an’ Jim an’ de goat got to playin’ rough, an’ de fits’ thing I knowed Jim he done los’ his temper an’ butted dat goat altnos’ to def!” lie Knew the 807. Head of Firm—You had better give the office boy a couple of dollars, Mr. ! Penwiper, for Christmas. » Mr. Penwiper (the bookkeeper)—l think we had better make it a New Year's gift, sir. I have just sent him out with a telegram, and I don’t think he will get back by Christmas.—Brook lyn Citizen. THK MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, DftC. 20. 1906. AT THE FOuEICN” WiNDOW How Inolf* Stepchildren Re member "Olil Conntry'* Friend*. “Home and mother!” These magic words are responsible for the semi tug out of Cleveland dally at this season of the year of thousands of dollars. At the window over which is the word "Foreign,” iu the money order office at the postotiice, a coutlu tfi.t’.s string of people patiently await their turn to send stuns varying from $5 to $25 to loved ones living in what they lovingly eall the "old country.” Out of their bounty Cleveland’s adopt ed children are sending something to cheer up those who are living in less fa vot ed dimes. From week to week 1 hoy lay small aunts aside as tin* end nt the year approaches. When they have accumulated tile necessary amount they troop down to the post office, the one bank iu which foreign ers have absolute confidence, and send to mother, father, brother or sister the tokens’ of their regard. Distances are ,-o great that the actual money is much more appropriate thau any of the gaudy ..t'l.eles which would naturally lie for warded. 'Me gotta tweuta dol's worth,” ex | plained one woman ns site elbowed her way gradually to the window. ‘ AYh.tt?" demanded the clerk. He is iYquired to understand everything. Me wauta twenta dol’s,” repeated the woman. 'Oh. you want to send S2O home,” explained the clerk. The woman signified with Iter head that she certainly did want to send •nine money home. Tightly clutching her check, site made a break to uinil the order. Her face was lighted up with a glad look. "Who arc you sending it to?” asked the clerk of the next in the line. “M udder,” says the woman. It is tho only word she utters as she lays down two ten-ilollnr bills. Enough said. She, lao. clutched her order as if It was a pardon from death and hurried away to mall it. Russians In largo numbers, Italians, Germans and Irish are among the daily throng that socks to make the loved ones at home happy.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. SANTA CLAUS’ WORKSHOP. Cartons Corner of Toy lan J Is the Austrian Ytllrve St. Clrlcli. Tourists wandering out of the beaten tracks of their kind occasionally come to a little village in Austria which pre sents tho aspect of a corner of toyluud. The name of the village is St. Ulrich, and nearly all of Its lubahltants are toymakers. Each household, too, has Its specialty. One old woman lias done nothing but carve wooden eats, dogs, wolves, sheep, goats and elephants. She has made those six animals her whole life long, and she has no Idea how to cut anything else. She makes litem in two sizes and turns out ns nearly ns possible a thousand of them a year. She has no model or drawing of any kind to work by, but goes on steadily, unerringly, using gauges of different sizes and shaping out her cats, dogs, wolves, sheep, goats and elephants with an ease and an amount of truth to nature that would he clever if they were not utterly mechanical. This woman learned from her moth er how to carve those six animals, and her mother had learned, In like man ner, from her grandmother. Site lias taught the art to her own granddaugh ter, and so it may go on lining trans mitted for generations. In another house one will find the whole family curving skulls and cross bones for fixing at tiie liases of cruci fixes,- for the woodcarving industry has Its religious ns well as Its amusing side. In other houses are families that carve rocking horses or dolls or other toys and In still other houses whole families of painters.—London Tit-Bits. Eillbl* Chrl.tnifix Novelties. A housewife whose purse Is light, but who makes delicious things to eat, planned this original Christmas for her young friends: A box of animal cookies to the family with three small boys, homemade candy and stuffed dates to college youths and maidens, two indi vidual plum puddings to the dear old lady who keeps house hy herself, a loaf of salt rising bread and one of nut bread to tin? bride serving her first Christmas dinner and a basket of doughnuts to the eastern chap spend ing his first holiday season away from home. Mince pies and pound Cake were among her gifts. All these went done up In the most attractive manner. —Chicago Record-Herald. Where Christinas Tree* Grow. It Is said that at least three-fifths of the 1,500,000 or more Christmas trees used In America each season grow on the bleak hillsides of eastern and northern Maine. Thousands of young farmers and timbermen make good in comes by cutting and shipping the trees. The Christmas tree business in Maine began only about thirty years ago, with four schooners to carry the cargoes of trees. Now many times that number of vessels are engaged In the trade. Most of the trees seat from Maine are firs. Mistletoe and Holly. Hangln' of the mistletoe —that's where Love la led. An’ ain’t his cheeks as rosy as the holly berries red! An' his eyes they shine l!k" starlight, an' the sweetest word that's said He whispers 'neath the mistletoe an' holly. Hangin' of the mistletoe—an’ take your rosy place.
