AN UP-TO-DATE SANTA CLAUS.
Reading edition
BY H. G. PAINE.
When Santa Claus came to town last year, His deer, 'Tis said, Struck a live wire and fell down dead. Poor Santa felt sad to lose them so, I know; But he Was not of the kind to give up, you see. So he rigged up his sleigh like a trolley-car, And far That night, Viâ telegraph wires, he took his flight; To each little child in bed He sped, Nor missed A single one of all the list. But this year he's going to take in hand A brand- New way, And deliver his goods in a horseless sleigh.
