Santa Claus

Santa Claus.

By W. S. C.

(A letter exercise for ten very small children. Let each child present a placard bearing the letter as he recites his line. At the close, all shut their eyes and screw them up very tight.)

S stands for stockings we hang up so high.

A is for all we get if we don't cry.

N is for nobody he will pass by.

T is for to-morrow, the day we eat pie.

A stands for at last old Santa is nigh.

C for the children who love him so well.

L for the little girl, his name she can spell.

A stands for apples so rosy and red.

U is for us as we wait for his sled.

S stands for Santa Claus, who comes in the night when we are tucked up in bed with our eyes closed so tight.
