Tha No-Santa Claus cranks are out
again. I had my first letter tills year
from ono of them this morning.
"Won't you Join tho ohorus of pro loot

said my letter.
"Hon- can vrc ex

"Will you Join tho

stamp out this old
cruel and ridicu
lous falsehood from
the HvcH of our
trusting children?"
No, m y dear

not Join In any
such league. If you'd start an anti-crank
league I'd Join fast enough and the first
thing I'd try to get that league to do
would bo to lock up all the Anti-Santa

little bobblty heads are laid qulelly on

foolish old myth, indeed. It's the peo
ple who talk against It that" aro foolish,
and blind, and deaf und dumb into the
bargain.
.Santa Olaus Isn't a myth; he's allyo
alive and laughing, and crying, and work
ing, and loving this very minute. If
you don't believe it look Into the eyes of
the first fat man you see walking Into a
toy shop in tho next few days and tell
me if you ever saw a fat man look so
happy any other time of the year except
Santa Glaus time?
What a skimpy little rled-up woman
that was opposite you in the car last
night, but how hor eyes shone. Did you
notice how she kept looking Into that flat
parcel she carried, and smiling and smll-
IHK till you had to smile, too. In pure j
bympathy?
Fish for dinner? No, nqi- for breukfast
either. That was a doll In that parcel,
and If you weren't a perfect numbskull
you'd have known It Just by the little
woman's eyes when she peered 'Into that
parcel. Who over looks like that when
they .Just see a "fish for supper," or a
peck of potatoes, or anything else that
Isn't a thing but "useful" and "practi
cal?" Oh. yes. She might have bought the doll
some other time. She needn't have saved
for the last six months to do it for this
particular season, need she? And say,
wouldn't the world be bettor off from
our odd point of view if she never
bought it all?

!
V few days ago ln this column I told
t story of an old woman who had spent
her life tolling, and slavlnr, and sacrt
'leliig for her children In order to edu
cate them and give thorn better advan
sgns than aho had,
and whose reward
was to be snubbed
by her sons and
daughters, and to
sen that they wero
ashamed of her.
referring to this
article a man
writes: "I am the
father of five child
ren and I am doing
practically tho samo
thing that tho wo
man In your story
did. And my re
ward Is the samo ni
hers. Aty children
are Just an un
grateful and utinp-
preclatlve as hers. Why should not my
love tegt lovo for me In my children?
Why should they not at least understand
tho tacrlflccs 1 make for them? To me
tho attitude of my children toward the
parents who have shown them such de-'
votlon Is the greatest psychological prob
lem in the world,"
That young people should takn. their
parents' sacrifices without grotltudo Is
'crtsinly ono of the saddest things on
nrth. but It Is no particular piuile. It Is
limply tho relentless working out of ono
of the most brutal and unlovely laws In
human nature, and that Is that we treat
thorn about us Just exactly as they permit
us to treat them, we give to them Just
what they demand or us.
The Inborn Instinct In evdry breast
seems to bo to trample upon the meek
and humble, and to kow-tow before the.
haughty and great. You can sco this
Illustrated in every family you know. Th
wlfo who makes a doormat of herself
gets trodden upon and kicked aside.
Whereas tho woman who sets heraelf up
In her home as a parlor ornament has
her husband burning Incense before her,
Many a woman thinks thut she can
win her husband's love by being patient,
and uncomplaining, and frugal, and In
dustrious, Hhe cherishes the belief that
he will appreciate nil that she docs for
him and bo grateful to her. Never wa
there n more mistaken Idea. He never
notices, or If he does, he thinks It Is no
moro than he deserves, nnrt he has a con
tempt for her because she hasn't got
enough spunk and Independence to de
mand something for herself. The wlvss
that men cherish are tho women that the
men have to serve, never the stave wives
who kiss the feet or their lords and
masters.
Precisely the same rule holds good In
the relationship between parents and
children. Tf the parents give the best of
everything to th children, tho chlldron
will take It without thanks. If the parents
take the back seats, the children will
occupy Iho front ones as a matter or
course.
If a girl 1 permitted to sit In the
parlor nnd read a novel, and keep her
hands white, while hor mother does al
of the cooking and housework, she. will
naturally come to look upon her mother
as her servant. If a boy sees his fattier
Bo shabby and shiny that he may have
forty new suits to wear to college, In
will have no compunction to making- fu:
of the old man's clothes and Iw ashamed
to introduce him to his swell aciiualiit
ances. The iwrent have prostrated themsolvns
before their children, and the children
walk over them. The parents have
taught their children thut they are not
to be onsldered, and the children havt
learned the lemon. The parents havn
fostered selfishness la their children, and
they leap as they have fwwed. ,
It's tho parents' fault, not tha chil
dren's. They havo not taught their chil
dren to honor their fathers and mother,
and the children don't do It.
Wo talk a great deal about natural af
fection, and every father and mother pin
their faith to the theory that their chil
dren will be dutiful and devotod,,slmply
becausn of tho tie of blood between them.
As a matter of fact thorn Is no natural
affection except tho affection that par
ents have for their offspring. It chlldron
love and honor their parents, ths senti
ment has to bo cultivated and developed
In them.
Tor this reason, If you havo your chil
dren's confUVnco you have to win (t by
being comrades. If you havo their respect
you havo to teach them to defer to your
opinion and Judgment. If they honor you,
you have to exact their respect. If you
havo their love, you have to win their
hearts by showing them a neverfalllng
tenderness and sympathy.
Otherwise you get nothing from your
children. Spoiled children, who have
dominated their parents all their lives,
ars not suddenly going to turn abput and
become deferential when they aro grown
The boy who hna own. permitted to talli

curse her when sho crosses' Ids wllllwpeu
ho Is a man. Tho girl who has run
rough shod over hor mothor ever slnco
she was a baby Isn't going to consider
mother's feelings at any time during life
And, conversely, tlw children who have
been brought up to bo obedient and re
spoctful to their parents will not depart
from this lino of conduct wlien they aro
old.
lflor my part I do not believe In tht
parents making too many sacrifices tor
their children. I think that tho children
should share In tho sacrifices, and help
bear the burden, and that tho character
they thus form Is worth more to them
than anything that the school and' col
leges can teach, a
At any rate, of one thing parents may
be sure, and tlmt Is that Jf they rriako
themselves slaves to their children, tltclr
children will treat them like alav.ep. AVo
