Victims of Rebel Plot
A despatch from Dublin
says: Republican documents
captured recently revealed a
plot to kidnap deputies and as-
saesinate the Ministers before
the Free State was formally in-
augurated. A general assas-
sination seems now to have
been substituted for the origin-
al plan. The Republicans de-
clare that they regard all depu-
ties supporting . the •Govern-
ment as traitors to the Repub-
lic. Hales and O'Malley, the
first. 'victims of the campaign,
were peace -makers between
the rival army sections, and
abandoned their, peace effort
only when they found it hope-
less. ..

By Harold Barnes
Kriss Kringle laughs with amerry glee;
"rIJ fool the children this year," says he;
"They think I am coming with deer and sleigh,
And jingle of bells, in the same old way.
But why should I flounder through cold and snow
And catch influenza, when I can go
With a, lightning speed through the nipping air
And whip I am here, be almost there.
Tis time that my reindeer were given arest,
And my sleigh is old and not at its best;
And the boys and girls -there are millions more
Than there used to l,e in the days of yore.
I must have more room to carry the toys
And must fly like the wind to the girls and boys;
From house to house I must speed with might
To finish my work in a single night.
"But I'll do it," he says, with a knowing wink,
As he opens his hangar -and what do you think?
There stands in its shed like a waiting train
The finest brand of an aeroplane.
Shining and gleaming and new and spick -
Just made to order for Old St. Nick.
It is roomy and strong and it holds with ease
The thousand and one pretty things that please
Thee good little children throughout the land,
From the Arctic zone to the coral strand,
Dollies and dishes and buggies and blocks
And pretty tin soldiers and Jacks -in the box;
And trumpets and drums and tables and chairs
And fairy-tale stories and big Teddy bean,
There are red sleds and skates, for the snow and the lee,
And mufflers and mittens and everything nice l
With oranges, golden and juicy and sweet..
And the perfume oaf roses our noses does greet,
Every inch of this storehouse is Med with the toys
And dainties and gifts for the girls and the boys.
St. Nick rubs his hands and chuckles with glee
As he thinks of the pleasure and joy there will be.
Then he•looks at his watch and he looks at the moon;
And he says to himself, "1 must start very soon."
So he puts on his headgear, his goggles and coat;
Tueks in his white beard from his breast to his throat,
Then springs to his place in the big aeroplane
As nimbly as though we were twenty again.
He straps himself in very tight and secure,
"In order," he says, "that I'll be very sure
Not to slip from my seat and go whirling through space -
For a
pace -Fora fall from such heights might disfigure my face."
He turns on the motor; anon comes the whirr
Of shining propeller, and then the glad stir
Of the wheels as they move o'er the hard frozen snow.
Now lightly they creep, then more swiftly they go,
Till, spurning the earth in ,its effort to fly,
The aeroplane rapidly mounts to the sky.
As swift as the eagle, it circles and climbs
The far dizzy heights of the :air; and betimes
St. Nicholas guides to the south as he speeds
On his mission of love; for he knows of the needs
And the wishes of all. "There's no chance to be late,"
He chuckles, then cries out, "Oh, b-oy, this is great!"
O'er ice -covered fields where the Eskimos ramble,
Where blizzards are born and where polar bears scramble;
0`er bare, frozen tundras, o'er bramble and brake,
O'er bare, frozen tundras, o'er bramble and brake,
He speeds like the wind, till, his quick journey ending,
"'Tis time," mutters Santa, "that I were descending."
Then pointing the aeroplane downward, he flies
In large sweeping circles, till, dimly, he spies
The outline of houses appearing in sight.
"And now," murmurs Santa, "'tis time to alight."
He knows how to do it -his skill is the proof,
As he settles with ease on the top of a roof.
He turns off the motor -unbuckles the straps
That keep him secure, then briskly he snaps
The lock from the storehouse, selects all the things
He marked for the children then upward he springs
To the top of the chimney with light, airy grace,
And downward he glides. to the big fireplace.
The stockings he fills with .a genuine joy,
And pours out a blessing on each girl and boy.
Then listening a moment, he turns on his toes
And quick as a flash up the chimney he goes.
He springs to his seat, sets the motor to purring,
Calls out "M -e -r -r -y Christmas!" to any one stirring ;
Then off to the next house he speeds on his way-
And so through the night to the break of the day
He scatters behind him full many a treasure
And fills all the hearts of the children with pleasure.
At last with the dawn all his journey is done.
"Ah, ha," ashouts`° St. Nicholas, "now for some fun!"
"My storehouse is empty, my burden is light- • -
Just a few fancy stunts with my plane yet to -night!"
So saying, he noses his plane to the sky,
And swiftly and gracefully clambers on high ;.
Remains in the air for a moment quite brief,.
Then sudd'enly.dro:ps like a falling leaf.
But righting himself with a dextrous turn
That any professional one might yearn
To imitate -"Ah," he remarks with a grin,
"That's glorious ;. now for a good tail -spin!"
!"
He ,spins him around like a sinking sloop -
He volplanes down and he "loops -the -loop" ;
Right isidie up and then upside down,
High in the airand then skimming the ground,
Then near to the earth you could hear him call,
"Kriss Kringle is here! M e -r -r -y Christmas to all!
Then he clambers again to the sky-blue dome
And hurries his aeroplane straight. toward home.
