Santa Claus has been swn prowling

a burglar some of these times by the
merchants and be shot or so badly hurt
he may not get over it soon, and (hen. he
he will not get wound to distribute his
presents to all the little boys and girls
in town. If Santa should see this local,
we hope he will take our advice -and be
a tittle more careful next time.
