SANTA'S WAYS
"Now," said Santa Clans, "I am plan
ning to have my magic cars and planes
meet me nt the
places where there
Is no snow then
I can dash off to
the houses around
those parts and
then get back to
you, my lovely
Reindeer."
MV e under
BtanJ," said the
Reindeer, "we
know your ways.
Ah yes. you have
everyt hing ar
ranged and
planned for and
nothing can pre
ent Santa Claus
from pnying all
his visits
"I should hope
Santa Claus. "I wouldn't miss
Christmas visiting for anything:
"When they put up apartment
bouse without fireplaces anl chim
neys I sv that I could manage with
the dumb-waiters and the fire escapes.
"Yes, Si; n t a Claus can fini a way
to visit the children on Christmas Eve.
"He wouldn't miss his fun for any
thing in the world! And I have the
loveliest photograph gallery in my
memory."
"What!" exclaimed the R-Indeer.
"Yes," said Santa Claus, ' I have and
I certainly do love it. Th re are peo
ple who have many photographs of the
people they care for about them.
"They have photographs which have
been taken of people at all ages and
in all sizes, too.
"WMl. if Santa Claus had photo
praphs of all tLe people he cared for
he would have so many, oh, so many,
that 1 don't believe there would be a
house or a palace or a hotel big enough
for all of them.
"A photograph gallery means, you
knnw, a place filled with photographs
or pictures.
"Now, as I said, I have all of mine
in my memory. In other words I re
member just wliat every sleeping child
looks like.
"I see them all, too, when I'm back
home and looking at thein through my
magic telescope as they smile and jump
up r.nd down with delight at their gifts
"But when I want to see these chil
dren later on I can close my eyes and
think of them and I can remember
them so clearly they are so much in
my memory that I can see each one
with my eyes tight shut!
"That is the way I keep my photo
graph gallery. And it Is a nice way.
too."
So Santa Claus chatted as he went
fnim place to place.
He came out from cn old whitt
house a little later smiling and laugh
in", his red cheeks azlow and his
merrv eves twinkling with delight.
"Oh, Reindeer," he shouted, "I had
the biggest and Juciest orange left for
me by the fireplace, and lumps of
sugar for all of you !
"Little Dolly did all that for us.
Isn't she the dearest ever?
"And Reindeer. I left a note for
Dicky five houses down.
"You know Dicky asked me how it
was that he had heard the bells Jin
gling from my Reindeer when it hadn't
snowed last year and wnen the ground
was hard and dry,
"So I wrote to Dicky and told him
Mrw It was. Of course he said that he
knew I had ways

quite sure of

"Well. I told
him that your
bells carried their
sound all over

Christmas Eve,
Those are the
bells that Santa's
Reindeer have.
"Ah yes, though
you may not be
right over each single house though I
mav have to leave you here and there
for a bit the sounds from the sleigh

there are the echoes from them
"I wrote him all about that."
So Santa went to house after house.
and what stories he had to tell the
Reindeer of Christmas trees and beau

i "In some places they have the

Finds Jobs for Many Veterans.
A total of 4,194 Jobs were found for
veterans in Kansas City, Mo., by the
employment committee of the Ameri
can Legion, according to a recent re
port submitted to the organization. At
least 400 of the men thus employed
are in permanent positions as a result
of the Legion's efforts in placement.
According to the figures nearly 1.C00
of the positions found for the former
service men were permanent positions,
the remainder representing the short
time Jobs which are usually afforded
veterans of more or less transient
character. These Jobs, committee
members declare, have permitted many
men to retain their self-respect, be
cause the work forestalled requests
for charity or relief.
