clatlon. PEGGY wore a sprig of mistletoe.
Wore it Christmas eve 01
course you know
, What the consequences were
Wearing that and in her hair.
PEGGY'S not to blame for doing so.
How could she know it was
mistletoe
Just a sprig of crccn she found
Lying carelessly around ?
t
SOME said Peggy wasn't very slow
At a patty wearing mistletoe
And a light in her blue eyes
Not exactly shocked surprise.
PEGGY'S not tho least to blame, I
although I
1 was remarked, concerning mis
tletoe, Her mistake seemed odd.
Peg excels in botany I
You see.
Chrlttmas Money.
Tho demand for Christmas money nt
tho Now York Hiibtrcasury c'row3 each
year. On n recent Christmas about
$200,000 n day In now coin, both gold
nnd silver, was provided to meet tho
demand, which kept up until Christ
mas day. This Christmas money comes
direct from tho mint each year at this
tlmo. Thousands of residents of Now
York who never sco tho subtrcasury
nt any other tlmo pour down on tho
dingy old "Wall street building nnd
clamor for bright now gold nnd silver.
Tho big department stores nlso de
mand now money, both to plcnso their
customers nnd to facllitnto change.

These were the glad tidinjjs

When brightly on high, mid the

The star over Bethlehem quiv

And reverent spirit, their

They knelt by the Child Christ

And the tidings be heard in

And look toward its light

LEGENDS OF ST. NICHOLAS.
How He Decame Known as Patron of
Children and of Qifts.
An nnclcnt Italian llfo of St Nlcho
las recites how ho beciuno tho patron
of children. Onco upon n tlmo tho sons
of nn Asiatic gentleman wero sent to
Athens to bo educated. On their way
their father enjoined them to visit tho
great bishop of Myra and securo his
benediction. They reached thero lato
ono night and sought shelter In nn inn.
Tho wicked landlord, observing their
prosperous exterior, concluded to rob
them and destroy tho cvldenco of his
crime. Having murdered thorn In their
sleep, ho dismembered the bodies nnd
concealed tho pieces In n pickle tub.
Dut a vision had appeared to St. Nicho
las, nnd ho hastened to accuse tho land,
lord, who, solzed with remorse, con-,
fessed nil. Then ho Implored tho-juJ
icrvcssiqn or in.e saint, and tho latter;
struck by his penitence, prayed for tho
restoration of the youths to life." In
stantly tho latter h'rbse, aud tho par
don of their-slayer was assured.
Hero Is tho legend which accounts
for St Nicholas ns tho good genius
of tho gift season; A certain noblo of
his dlocebo became Impoverished, and,
,ns thoy hud no dowries, tho future of
his three daughters was imperiled,
The Ifood biilnt resolved to succor
them, nnd, waiting till tho small hours
of tho morning, bo east through the
open window of tlu nobleman's bed
chamber thrco heavy purses of gold.
Ho hoped to retieat unseen, but the
moon was bright. St Nicholas was
discovered, although trying to escape.
At tho courts of Italian princes thero
prevailed an nnelent custom called "za
patn," tho Spanish word for "shoe."
At Christmas tlmo presents wero con
cenlcd lu iho shoes or slippers of favor
ed courtiers, In imitation of St. Nicho
las' gifts to tbo threo maidens of Pa
tara. i
