'TTWAS the day before Christmas, and up in the nor'Jj
With his presents old Santa prepared to set forth
On a visit to children to scatter nis toys
And to fill with delight hearts of girls and of boys.
presents were sorted and labeled
were piled in great heaps, hum? all the
to his son, ruddy, jolly young
round my reindeer; make haste
""VV7HY, my father," the rollicksome youth then replied,
V "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Also that mode of travel is quite out of date.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 strike a new gait."

old Santa looked stumped, and he paused, hung his "H$'
head;
CThen he heaved a deep sigh and sorrowfully said, , .
"I suppose I must yield, with the times keep apace,
So bring round an auto, if there's one 'bout the place."
VOUTHFUL 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 I'LL STAY AT HOME."
"Mai Up to '98 or so,"
, Said Uncle Sam, "my work was done
With this, but now I fear ho, hoi
My task is scarcely yet begun)''
So o!f he sailed across the sweep
Of salty waters, mile on mile,
And glatMened every chick asleep
In Porto Rico's placid isle.
Then swift and far
his airship flew,
Till every Filipino

Or black or blond,

"I'm through," cried. Uncle Sam, "at lasth
