Billy Dreams That Santa Claus Comes
unce upon a time there was a
mne Doy named Billy, lie was
talking about Christmas' one day and his mother asked him what he wanted Santa Claus to bring him. He said ho wanted a sled, a drum, a bicycle, a horn and lots of other things. It was the night before Christmas now, and he wanted to hang his stocking up by the fireplace. He went to bed early that night because he wanted Santa Claus to fill his stocking. In the middle of the night Billy woke. up. He thought he heard Santa Claus. He ran into his mother's room and she asked him what was the matter. And he said that he heard Santa Claus. The next morning when he woke up he was only dreaming. He ran downstairs and his stocking was filled. And in the other room there was a nice Christmas tree and lots of pretty toys.

SLD FATHER TIME is siftin
the last grain of sand of the year 1921 through his venererable hour glass as you are reading this. In a few hours
there will be 365 unused grains in the upper glass, and every 24 hours the Old Man will let one slip through and 1922 will be on its way. There is only one thing certain about the New Year, and that is that it will run away and leave us almost before we are aware of its presence. Years have a peculiar habit of rushing past with headlong speed, and there is no use trying to kep them; f.o our efforts during the year should be to gain something that will really last. There is an old story told'of a king who could never make up his mind on any subject. He was always afraid he would make the wrong decision, and he would call in his wise men and his counsellors to advise him on the
most trifling mattersand then would be worried almost to illness lest his decision had been wrong. One day his little daughter gave him a ring that had engraved within it in Arabic the symbols that mean "This, too, shall pass away." The king then realized that. while he was waiting and trying to make up his mind, Time and everything else was moving on. Thus the New Year comes to remind us that it is but another of the thousands of fast-moving pilgrims that have come to earth, and, like those that have preceded it, it will run its race and leave. That means that we are to welcome 1922 and get just as much as we can from it and give just as much as we can to it. We are not so much concerned with not making any mistakes, because we will make lots of them, but with filling "the unforgiving minute with GO seconds' worth of distance run."
