The folowrng letter and poem are from Mrs. Elizabeth Kaub, formerly a very popular teacher in the rnary grade in this city: Watertown, Wis., r. Dec. 11, 1919. An sending a bit of Xmas poem, which I wrote for a boy “to speak” at their school entertainment. It occurred to me that Jasper county school children might enjoy it, if you care to publish it in your paper. We are having the most severe winter weather, for the time of year, that has been known in Wisconsin for years, i ’ There is much snow and a temperature of from 8 to 13 below. The coal situation looks pretty-bad, but is much better than in many places. Yours truly,' MRS. E. KAUB, • 526 N. Church St. Sant* Claus Questions. In all the Santa Claus stories, I’ve ever heard or read, And in all the Santa Claus pictures He has reindeer and a sled. / Now in the southland countries. There are just as many homes, But there it is always summer, And winter never comes. And I know 'that dear old .Santa Would never miss a child — Whatever the weather or climate, Whether ’twas frigid or mild.

And this is the thing about him, I should dearly love to know — Does he travel in a wagon , Where there isn’t any snow? I - - |And he’s dressed in warm fur clothing, ’ ; Cap, overcoat, mittens and boots — i And I wonder, oh, I wonder — Has he any summer suits? —Lizzie Richardson Kaub.
