Fur the most excellent reason that Nicholas Is the rent name or the saint. I mil coiuiriHKn- ly recent .tears there was no Santa Claus at Christmas time. When the old saint conies down the chimney Dec. ill, Christmas eve. and deposit gifts for the children lu the suspendtl sliH'kliiKs he Is just nineteen days lie bind time, for his true nnd proper tlim Is Dee ft, that being Ihe eve of St. Nicholas duy. Just how Nicholas got to be the Christmas eve saint Is not altogether clear, but those loon oclasts n ho dig Into ancient matters are probing this secret They have discovered, or claim to have discov ered, that the Christmas eve Santa Claus really originated lu America, le Ing transported to Kugland from New York. In the saints' calendar Dec. 0 Is St. Nicholas day. Nicholas was bishop of Myra. In I.ycla He Is believed to have lived under the Kmpcrors Dio cletian mid Constantlne nnd Is the pu trou saint of poor maidens, sailors, travelers, merchants and children. Itlch maidens, of course, are also quite willing to acknowledge htm when he conies nloug with diamond dog col lars, necklaces nnd tiaras. Before the t;reat religious reformation the custom of giving presents on St. Nicholas eve was general throughout Christian Europe. When Ihe worship of the saints was abolished the prac tice died out In England, where for ab -nt three centuries St. Nicholas fail ed to visit households on the evening of Dec. ft to leave presents for good children. By the way. It should be ! pointed out that .Nicholas was noted even in infancy ns n particularly good and pious child. Therefore his vls'ts are not m:'de to bad children-only to those whute parents can vouch for their good behavior during the previous .tear. In AustrU. Holland nud I'olaml St. I Nicholas eve is still observed. Oood '. children get presents, secretly left In I their sin es placed upon the hearth 'stone for tl.v purpose or In their stock lt:gs hung from the mantel. When ; New York was settle 1 by Hollanders jthe devout Dutchmen brought over to I America their religious customs, not j forgetting that of St. Nh -hulas eve. In old New Amsterdam the saint made ' his visits the night of !. ft. St. Men- olas dav being celebrated by the set tiers ns a Imlldav. In time tin I)tt., 1 were supplanted by the English. New Amsterdam became New York, and the old St. Nicholas eve t:fl giving custom was reintroduced Into Englaud from New YorH But In England the cus tom of irlf: making on Christmas eve " !

"In giving Christmas presents to I children." said Mrs. Frederick Schoff, the president of the National Mothers' ; Congress, "our first aim should be to ! Iran: port, to overjoy, to enrapture. I "1 on ( knew a little girl who, on (Ire , with excitement, rushed r from her i j bedroom to Fee her presents on Christ- ; i mas tii' r:dng ami after one look burst ; into lo.: ! solis of disappointment and disgust. "It was some such experience, I have no doubt, that had befallen a little girl friend of mine. " 'Are you going to give we anything for Christmas?' nhe said one day to her nun. "'Yes, If you're good,' the aunt re plied. "The little girl gazed at her aunt with w istful earnestness. Then nhe said: " 'I'lease, auntie, then, nothing use ful.' "-Cincinnati Fnipilrer. A Chriitmai Hope. We do not pretend to be prophets, but we can ul! dare to hope. And this Is what we hope: That some day the strong will help and not exploit the weak; that some day fraternity will be more than a rhetorical flourish; that some duy love will beget Justice rath er than charity. And Christmas Is the one day In the year that such a venturesome hope seems more than a wlll-o'-the-wisp. World Today. A Christmas Hymn. No trump of murchhijf armlea.
