Copyright, 1910, by American Press Association. ’TWAS the day before Christmas, and up in the north With his presents old Santa prepared to sét forth On a visit to children to scatter his toys And to fill with delight hearts of girls and of boys. ALL his presents were sorted and labeled with care And were piled in great heaps, filling all the space there. So he called to his son, ruddy, jolly young Nick, “Come, bring round my reindeer; make haste and be quick.” "WHY, my father,” the rollicksome youth then replied, “Your good reindeer of age have.every one died; Also that mode of travel is quite out of date. Keep abreast of the times; you must stnke' a new gait.” OOR old Santa looked sturaped, and he paused, hung his ead; Then he heaved a deepsigh and sorrowfully said, “I suppose | must yield, with the times keep apace, So bring round an auto, if there’s one "bout the place.” YOUTHFUL Nick winked an eye, and he dropped a sly smile. ¥ “My good father,” said he, “you're off many a mile. You'd be thought a back number to auto the trip. To be quite up with style you must use an airship.” FOR a moment the old man did not speak a word. With violent emotions his bosom was stirred. But at length he looked up, gave a toss of his head. “Bring hither an up to date airship,” he said. WHEN the airship appeared. Santa said, with a grin: “Now, my son, she is ready; make haste and jump in. In this newfangled sleigh o'er the world you may ‘may roam And distribute the presents, and 'LL STAY AT HOME.” oy e s Baby Perishes in Flames. !
