"Han's up!" cried out two bandits bold,
Their ages four and three years old;
An' Santa he was scared so bad
Ho gave 'cm all the toys he had.
They aimed their tin gun at his head
"Haa'a up, er we will shoot yeu dead!"
Exclaimed these terrible outlaws
That dared te hold up Santa Clans.

tboso states whero tho practleo still
prevails a hose or bucket of wnter

substitute for tho candles Is furnished
by a system of tJny electric bulbs con
nected with a fow smnll storago bat

Christmas Deception.
In ono senso Christmas Is n sort of
game which tho grown ups play with
as much zest as tho children. Santa
Clans Is not tho only deception. Every
body pretends to enjoy buying pres
ents and to bo dollghtod with those

white lies are amiable nnd nro for-1
given, let us le sure, becnuso of tho
spirit behind them, Besides, It Is Just '
such Innocent pretending that makes!

Is quite an Industry In parts
of the country. In the north'
crn plno fonrts It Is n practice
to cut tno tops out of the trees or oven
branches. This does not Injure tho
pnront trco. Great shiploads of these
branches ami tops corao across tho
great lakes early each winter to bo
distributed for tho Christmas trsde.
Radium Christmas Gifts.
A few years atjo, when radium wan
a newly discovered wonder, It was a
fad of society women In London and
some other cltlos to five tlnr bits of
tho metal as Christmas presents.
Theso cost from 310 to $30. although
tho speck of radium was hardly largo
enough to bo seen with the naked eyo.
It was mounted In a splntharlocopo,
which Is a cross botwen a mlcroscopo
nnd halcldoscope. Peon through this,
tho tiny point of radium shot out
flashes of constantly varying light,
lltto miniature fireworks.
