Poor old Santa Claus comes up history, 10 or 12 centuries, in various guises. First, he was a cleryman or bishop in the Orient, so goes the legend. A patron of children, he was prone to giftâ€" giving at Christmas time. After that we find stories of different saints in different lands, making Christmas time the high time of the year for their secret benefits to the young. Germany had Saint Nicholas and Saint Martin, who rode horses and left preâ€" sents on door steps, provided the family left hay fodder and emâ€" pty shoes to hold the gift left in return. The Dutch had Krissâ€"Kringle, and as I live at present in Pennâ€" sylvania Dutch country the story goes that right here grew the chimney legend, the broad low chimneys of early settlers inviting a new way of entrance, as barred doors, necessary against Indian invaders, could not be unlatched.
