Seeing Santa Claus Said little Ned to Sister May: "There aint no Santa Claus Who brings the toys to girls and boys On Christmas Eve, because It's only daddy all dressed up In furs and whiskers, too. He buys our presents at the store ; I know it, yes, I do." Said Sister May to little Ned : "It's no such thing, for I Have seen old Santa Claus myself — He's short and fat and spry, And wears a funny pointed cap All powdered thick with snow. Where did I see him? Why, 'twas at A Motion Picture show." The Birth of the New Year By HARVEY PEAKE Of the thread of our lives was the old year spun, E'en so will this upstart our days pursue! (There's the passing year, here's the coming one.) There are sighs and tears for the year that's done ; Speed the parting and welcome the new ! (Of the thread of our lives was the old year spun.) There's an anxious wish for the one begun : May its smiles be many, its tears be few ! (There's the passing year, here's the coming one.) Ab, would that we might their passing shun, And live in the Eden of that first two ! (Of the thread of our lives was the old year spun.) And now his uneven course is run ; With remorse does he whisper his last adieu ! (There's the passing year, here's the coming one.) But dawn is breaking, and morning sun Points sanguine finger of rosy rue ! (Of the thread of our lives was the old year spun. There's the passing year, here's the coming one ! ) 2SS
