“WHERE SANTA CLAUS IS.'
(BY EDGAR RYE)
Far up north in Mystic Land.
On the shores of Golden Hand,
Where the wild waves dash.
And the storm winds clash.
Old Santa Claus lives from year to year.
Making funny toys and feeding his reindeer. ,
Until Christmas time
lle comes to us every year,
Llhe he always did appear.
To our father and our mother. -
To our sister and our brother: '
•' Like be comes to millions and millions more.
In every foreign land, on every foreign shore.
At Christmas time.
He lives in a house nil alone.
Surrounded by the Arctic Zone,
And when he has time to spare,
Hunts the seal and polar bear
To make warm robes, gloves and fur covered caps.
To give to rollicking girls and jolly young chaps.
To wear Christmas time.
Welcome, Dear: Old Santa I laus!
Our uncrowned king of Mystic law,
We honor thee in “story mid thyme:"
Dear nursery hero of "ye olden timer"
May you always live- -may you never die.
A slong as Aurora Borealis shines in the sky.

SAXONY WILL PURCHASE —
ITS OWN COAL FIELDS
Associated Press Mall Correspondence,
Dresden.To put an end to specula-
tion that has prevailed for a long while
the state of Saxony is to purchase and
own its own coal fields that are pri-
vately owned will be operated as be-
fore, but they may not be extended,
nor may other fields be purchased pri-
vately, The coal fields of Saxony have'
for years presented a rich speculative
field. It has been the practice, per-
mitted by law, to buy on speculation,
and in consequence the purchase of a
field lias almost never indicated that
the purchaser intended to operate, but
rather that he hoped and expected to V
sell at an advance. The public has
hardly benefited from the practice.
