LITTLE, BROWN & COMPANY Publishers, 34 Beacon St., Boston Santa’s Last Stop THE passage of Santa Claus across the Canadian border was effected with- out untoward incident. It was only when he reached the first American city that his troubles began. It was a “key city” and they had an Inquiring Re- porter. “What,” he was asked, “do you think of the situation in the Ruhr?” Awful,” replied the good Saint, for he was a man of few words. The next town also had an Inquiring Reporter. “Do you favor immediate reduction or further increase in the Federal in- come tax on large fortunes?” was the question. “Yes and no,” asserted the Saint, never at a loss for an answer. The Inquiring Reporter at the next town wanted to know whether Henry Ford would run for President, and at the town after that, what the United States could do to prevent the outbreak of war in Europe by next Thursday afternoon. At length he reached the threshold of a very large city. Here the people kept late hours and were fond of black coffee and introspection, for it was a metropolis. The Inquiring Reporter who confronted him represented a daily with a very large net paid circulation. “Just what,” he was asked, “is your opinion of the Santa Claus myth? Is it a good thing for the children?” And then for the first time that night the aged Saint bowed his head in silence. Sadly he wheeled his reindeer about and ordered them to speed on, nor has he ever been heard from again in that city. You see, children, there are some things about Christmas that not even Santa Claus should be cailed upon to explain.
