HWAS the day before Chnatmas, and up in tlu
x With hi? pre*ents old Santa prcparcd to set forth
On a viail to ehildren to acatter hia toya
And to fiil with delight hearts of girls and of boys.
LL hia ptcscnts were aorlni And labclcd with cAre
And wcrc piled in great hcaps, filling all the space there.
So he called to his son, ruddy. jolly young Nick.
"Come, bnng round my reindecr; make hastc And be quick."*
"VY/HY, my father," the rollicksome youth then replird,
* * "Your good reindecr of age have every one died;
Also that mode of travel is quite out of dAte.
Keep abreast of the times; you rnuit stnke a new gait**
A'
POOR old Santa lonked stumped. and he paused, hung his
head;
Then he heAved a oeep sigh and sorrowfully said,
**I auppoae I 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
amile.
"My good father," *aid he, "you're otf 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.**
t70R a moment the old man did not speak a word.
With violent emobons his boeom was stirred.
But at length he looked up, gave a tou of his head.
"Bring hither an up to date airship,** he said.
\Y7HELN the Airship appeared Santa said, with a grin:
W "Now, my son, she is ready; make haste and jump in.
ln this newfangled sleigh o'er the world you may mav roam
And distnbute the presents, and I'LL STAY AT HOME."
