LETTERS TO SANTA CLAUS FROM OUR LITTLE READERS.

What the Little Friends of The Republican Want Good Old Santa To Bring Them for Christmas. The little friends of The Republican are invited to address their letters to Santa Claus in care of The Republican, as Santa has requested that all Jasper county mail be sent to him in care of this office. OLD SANTA CLAUS. Old Santa Claus sat alone in hts den, With his leg crossed over his knee, While a comical look peeped out of his eye, For a funny old fellow is he. His queer little cap was tumbled and torn, And his wig it was all awry; And he sat and paused the whole day long, While the hours went flying by. He had been as busy as busy could be In filling his pack with toys; He had gathered his nuts, and baked his pies, To give to the girls and boys. There were dolls for the girls and whips for the boys, With wheelbarrows, horses and drays, And bureaus and trunks for Dolly’s new clothes; All these in his pack he displays. Of candy, too, botn twisted and striped, He had furnished a plentiful store; While raisins and figs, and prunes and grapes, Hung up on a peg by the door. “I am almost ready,” quoth he, quoth he, “And Christmas is almost here; But one thing more—l must write them a book, And giye to each one this year.” So he clapped his specs on his little" round nose 1 And, seizing the stump of a pen, He wrote more lines in one little hour, Than you ever could read in ten. He told them stories all pretty and new, And wrote them all out in rhyme; Then packed them away with his box of toys, To distribute one at a time. And Christmas Eve, when all were in bed, Right down the chimney he flew; And, stretching the stocking leg out at the top, He clapped in a book for you.— Silver Burdette Reader. —-♦ ' Here are letters to Old Santa just received: Dear Santa: I want a drum and a pop gun and a train and an automobile and some candy and some nuts. HOWARD SWIM. Dear Santa: I want a doll cab with a top on and doll with a hood on and some play dishes and a doll bed and candy and nuts. EMERY SWIM. Dear Santa: I want a baby doll, a sweater and a bracelet. Please don’t forget. TOTTIE STARR. Dear Santa: Please send me a book and a game, a doll, a box of crayons, a tablet and pencil. Your little friend. OLIVE WAYMIRE.
