ALCHIN x Haro 3 BY ACCLAM ARTHUR R, ALLOWAY GEORGE T, MORRIS One of "Three Wise Men" Proved Unwise; He Paid $10 and Costs Today Garbed as the V Well Known Biblical Characters, Trio Travel from House to House and Receive Kind Hospitality -- Patriotic Colony of Hungarians Welcome Fellow Men Carrying Out Custom of Native Land--One Taken in Tow By Police Officer and Listed on Bloiter as Santa Claus, Charged With Intoxication The foyvourite biblical characiers of the members of the Hungar'an Roman Catholic Church at the Yuletide season, it apperas, are te three Wise Men of the East, In Hungary, it also seems, just as Claus goes from house to house in America, htree persons in the garb of the Wize Men of old parade the streets and go from house to house extefAiding and stimulating the hap: piness of the occasion and in re turn they are tendered meat and drink by the grateful members of the visited households. This year, Oshawa possesses a small but reli- giously patriotic colony of Hun garians and with tite style of their country, three of their number, on Sunday, garbed themselves in the robes of the Wise Men and went about the southern section of the city in true Hungarian fashion, All went well and to say the least, the Wise Men fared royally on the meat and drink wheih was extend- ed to them by their fellow ecoun- trymen, And so with the Christmas sea- gon still in evidence, another trio of Wise Men visited the kindly Hungarian homes of Oshawa, on Monday night and although they were this time not from the East but from Toronto, again all went well for a time, Eldon avenue, Olive avenue, Stacey avenue and Bloor street all yielded abundant- ly of meat and drink in return for 'heir patronage but alas, one uf their number, despite his contin- ued protests, was made the reci- pient of a trifle more drink than of meat, It was at this stage that a police- man appeared out of the night and the remainder of the tale of these three Wise Men is told on the an- nals of the local police station, Perhaps it was' because the reei- pient of the too much drink greatly resembled Saint Nicholas himself that so much of the liquid re- freshment was forced upon him by the goodly residents of Oshawa, Dressed in a flowing, and very much becomi ig robe and lopg white mustache, who could not have felt other than a kindly feel- ing towards him and to him 'nm particular, have bestowed a quan- tity of their very best? Anyway, Santa Claus, as he was entered on the police ledger, was taken in tow by the officer to the police station and was housed there, well away from any chimneys for the night, It was there that he was stripped of his outward raiment and these, whiskers and all, were still on display this morning in the Chief's office. The last chapter of this tale eof the Wise Men was unfolded in police court this morping when Santa Claus, alias Steven Vares of Toronto, appeared before Magis- trate Hind, charged with intoxi- cation in a public place. Throuzh an interpreter he pleaded guiliy and explained that he didn't want to get drunk but couldnt resist such kind hospitality as was given by the citizens of that section of Oshawa. The Magistrate, with true 'hristmas spirit, fined him only $10 and costs, the total amount ing to $19.50, under the circum- stanees which the court acknowl- edged, were rather unusual to say the least. » In the bright lexicon of kidhood there is no substitute for Christmas. --Detroit Free Press.
