U* Minneapolis, No. 51-1920. Santa Claus: "Do You Suppose I'd Better Try Any o' Them New-Fangled Stunts 7 Or Had I Just Better Stick to Old Dancer and Prancer?" OODNESS sakes alive, what a time good old Santa Claus is having these days!" Mrs. Santa Claus was busy packing up dolls, and wonderful teddy bears, and trains of brightly painted cars, and bags of candy, and skates, and little carts, and sleds, and picture books, and all the hundreds of other things that every youngster in the world is wait ing for. She paused In her work for a mo ment and looked over her glasses, "So you want to see him. Humm, humm. He doesn't like much to talk or be interviewed, just about this time* you know. What do you want to see him about?" The Man -From the Newspaper cleared his throat. "Oh," said he, "I just merely wanted to ask him how he is going to get around, in case there is not enough snow on the roofs for his sleigh." Not Behind the Times. "Well, I never ''that's just what he has been fussing about himself for the past two weeks. But the thing is all settled now. Everything straightened out Why, he is out there In the back yard now practicing with his air plane." "Airplane!" cried the startled Man From the Newspaper. "Yes, airplane. That's what I said. He is going to try out an airplane this year." Mrs. Santa reached over and picked up a beautiful, dark-haired, rosy-cheeked dolloiearly two feet high. T wonder what I shall do to get that in," she mused aloud. "But he has always used reindeer, always, always," ventured the Man From the Newspaper, when he had recovered from the shock. "Of course he has, silly," replied Mrs. Santa Claus. "But, my dear young man, do you suppose that just because we are up at the North Pole here we are behind the times? Not a bit of Quite Up to Date, Is Old Santa AWAITING THE VISIT OF A VERY DEAR FRIEND THE TOMAHAWK, WHITE EARTH, MINN. Of Course He Will Use the Reindeer if There Is Snow Enough but He Is Busy Practicing With an Airplane it. Of course he may use the reindeer as usuai and the sleigh, if the snow storm that he has ordered from the North Wind turns up on time. But we've decided that if the storm doesn't arrive, it will be the airplane." One Question Barred. "You see its She suddenly stood up. "Why don't you go out into the back yard and talk to him your self? I think I hear the motor now. I guess that he will tell you about the troubles that come when there is not enough snow on the roofs. Mind you don't ask him any curious questions though. He hates curious questions, you know, questions such as we have been listening to this past week, like: 'What am I going to get for Christ- mas?' People don't know. Heavens on earth, what a chorus of that kind of questions there is now! Folks ought to know that they must just wait. Run along now, I'm busy." The Man From the Newspaper went out into the back yard. "Brrrrrrrr rrrrrrr rrrrr he heard above his head. He looked up. There sure enough was an airplane. It was tearing around in a mad circle, with Santa Claus sitting on the top of one wing and holding on for dear life. There was a row of chimneys set up on the ground, and, as theflyingma chine roared over them, Santa Claus would lean forward and kick a lever and down would drop a doll, ker-plop, in a parachute, or a boy's book, or a pair of furlined gloves, or something else. And every single one of the para chutes would go right straight down a chimney. Parachute Mistakes. After a few minutes the machine came down to the ground and Santa Claus climbed out. "Wheuuu. That was terrible," said he, blowing on his hands. "Do they always go right straight down the chimneys?" asked the Man From the Newspaper. "NOW they do," replied the white- haired, fur-coated old Saint. "You should have been around when I tried, it first, though. THEN they NEVER would go right. It has taken me a whole week to get them to go where 1 want them to. "You see, it was rather hard at first, and rather bad, too. If I sent a sled to Willie Jefferson, an* it went flop right down the chimney of the elder Miss Jones, now, well ha* ha-ha what on earth \\outfl tha elder Miss Jones do with a new, shiny, steel-framed flyer? "But I got them to go right after a while. I shall use the parachutes in some cases, but mostly I believe that I shall go right down the chimney as usual, with the pack. It only takes a minute. And if something SHOULD go wrong with the parachute, you know well, I'd rather not think what might happen." "Doesn't look as if a storm was coming, either," suggested the Mancmatng From the Newspaper, to get the dis ciwaion back to the reindeer and sleigh question. No Room Except on Top. "No, it doesn't," admitted Snnra Claus. "That's just what started me practicing. You've no Idea what a terrible job it is for these poor rein* deer to haul a heavy load of toys across a roof when there l* no snow. It simply tires them to deoth. So, if the North Wind gets up to any pranks with me, I'll just use the plftne." "Is it much faster?" asked the Man From the Newspaper. "Faster? I should say it is," said St Nicholas. "It's a pretty big old world, you know, even'if some of thesa scientists do deny it. Maybe they wouldn't be quite so sure if they had to make a trip all over it every Christ mas, as I do. I have to be in France and America and England all at tha same time almost, you know. Only about five hours difference." "Why do you ride on the top of the plane?" demanded the Man. "No room Inside, that's why. Just take a look at that plane, young man," said Santa Claus. The Man walked over. The plane was Just Jammed, crammed, packed with boxes and bun dies and packages. "It's only the first load, all that," explained St. Nicholas. "I have to make 24 loads In all. Bells? Surely. There they are, hung up over there on the wall of the house. My old sleigh bells, of course. One has to be economical, though, these days of hlgb prices and everything." Joke on the Children. "I am simply going to tie the bells over the plane and let the wind ring them. Of course you understand about the reindeer. If it really DOES snow they're trim as ever. There's Prancer and Dancer there now, over by the fence eating moss. ""Won't it be a joke on the children, though! No one will dream, when they hear the drone of an airplane motor above the house, that it's me, will they? I can see them all waiting, tucked In their beds, listening for tha sound of the reindeer on the roof. And there won't be any reindeer at all. If it doesn't snow. Ha, ha, a good joke."
