WO played asjoke
on Santa Chute
and tore off all
the leaves of the
calendar up to
Dec. 22, which, as
you know, is only
three days before
Christmas. It was
really midsummer,
and the weather
was very hot, but
Santa Claus, who
had always gone
according to his
ealendar and had never found it wrong,
believed time must have slipped by him
without his realizing it.
He had been rather taking his time
In the workshop and had scarcely half
enough toys to go around, so he was
much worried how to give presents to
all his children.
A fairy heard him talking to himself
about his troubles and had a splendid
idea. She hurried into the woods and
told the other fairies and all the beasts.
and birds and bugs about Santa Claus'
trouble, asking their help in the mat-
ter.
"I don't see how we can help touch,"
said a little bear cub. "We can't make
toys."
"No," said the fairy, "but you can
be toys. My plan is for us to offer to
take the places of the toys that Santa
Claus needs. We fairies can be dolls,
for there are lots of dolls' dresses to
Santa's workshop, 1 know."
"Splendid!" Santa said. "Just hop
aboard my sleigh, which is hitched in
the front yard, and we'll be off."
So the animals and fairies and every-
thing else hopped into Santo's great
sleigh, and he, climbing to the seat,
clucked to his reindeer and bade theta

.;y over the ground. But they could
not move the sleigh, for there was no
snow on the ground. Santa Clans did
not know what to do, but the fairy de-
clared that she could fix that difficulty.
She blew a little whistle, and bun-
dreds of white wild geese cattle flying
from the sky. She told them what
was the matter, and the geese, eatele

beaks. spread their wings and were

so that it hardly touched the ground.
By morning Santa visited all the
towns and left presents everywhere.
Ile hadn't a single thing left in his
sleigh and thought that he had done
a very good night's work. The chi! -
dress when they awoke in the morning
and found the presents wondered
where they could have come from.
Some of the little bears had cards
around their necks, which read "A
Merry Christmas." The children were
surprised, but joyously began to play
with their strange toys. The little baby
bears, who kept their claws Curved in
so that they wouldn't scratch, were
the most delightful things. The ehll-
dren were very road of the gifts.
The gnomes made splendid clown
dolls, and some of the fairies were par-
ticularly pretty dollies. The birds in
the rages sang sweetly, the beetles
drilled like armies of real soldiers, and
the field mite spun on their heads and
skipped over each other's tail to the
amusement of their Small owners.
In a fern days, however, the children
began to tire even of these wonderful
new toys, and the forest people said
It was time to return to their Own
homes.
When they reached home they start-
ed in to help Santa Claus make toys
AS fast as they could :io that no time

The dear old man had by this time
found he law made a mistake in the
date end that the Children should be
