Some of these have had such a gradual evolution that It would be Impossible to ascribe them definitely to any one person. But there are others which we can trace directly to one or more. Individuals hence the theme of men who helped make Christmas" what It Is now' In this V J Article. . 1ertalnly Santa Claus seems to be an e'ssen tlal part of the Christmas celebration. Spenk of him and there rises to mind a plcture.of a plump, little man who. radiates laughter and good cheer. Why should he be that sort of person Instead of the stern, gnilnt, rather formidable figure, solemn and majestic In trailing robes, carrying In cfne hand a basket of presents and in the dthef a birch rod, as an awful warning to nnughty children, such as fie was when he was known as Slnterklnss, or the plshop-Saln- t Nicholas, by the first Dutch settlers In this .cpuntry? The answer to that question Is the names of three writers James K. Pafildlng, Washington Irving and Dr. Clement 0. Moore and an uri-known American artist. If was Washington' Irv-n8 'ho, li his Knickerbocker History of New York," In 1809 wrote the first description of the new type of Santa Claus and made Slnterjclnss, I or St. Nichols, the patron saint of the Dutch colonists of New Amsterdam the archetype of, 1.aH of those Jovial, long pipeJ smoking burghers, , . The next writer te paint a word portrait of 'Santa Claus was Irvings friend and collaborate;, James Klrke Paulding, who In his Book of St. , Nicholas," first published in 1827. shld Sa'ata Claus was "as gallant a little Dutchman as ever Amoked his way through the world, pipe foremost." . , But k remained for Dr. Clement Clark Mooye In his poem, Visit from St. Nicholas," to give A more definite word' portrait of St. Nicholas and pretty deflnltelj establish In the mind of the public tfhat Santa Claus rooked like., IIow much Mqore drew upon Irving and Pauld-Dbhi description ts not known but there 3s a curious parallelism lo some of his words nd some of theirs, although Moore, himself, 40 years later said that a portly, rubicund Dutchman living In the neighborhood of his father' Country seat, Chelsea" near New York city to him the Idea of mating St. Nicholas the fcerp of his Christmas piece for hfs children. Then . in 1839 a. book called The Poqts. of America," edited by John Keese, was published. It contained Moores, poem and the Illustration for that was a picture of Santa Claus. (Repro-fluceabove.) Who the painter or the engraver aa Is unkno'wn but It Is belleved-th- at this was the first time a picture of, Santa Claus was ever sprinted. Thus It was Washington Irving, James K. Paulding, Clement C. loore and the unknown Illustrator of Keeses Poets of America" helped jjrmake" Christmas by giving us our present Idea f the patron saint of the holiday. elf-lik- e It looks tnd, Quale, ' r of. rnrk-- r Rogers said by way of apology, they're lilntfug that.

And what song .has been more often sung on Christmas Eve or Is more beloved than "Silent Night, Holy Night"? "It was on December 24 of the year 1818 that Mohr, assistant pastor of the newly established StNloholas parish church In the little of Oherndorf, near Salzburg, Austria, jt village ,, handed to Franz Gruber, a schoolmaster of Area .dorf, who was organist for the church, a poem wlth the request that he write for it a suitable melody arranged for two solo voices, chorus and .a guitar accompaniment the reason for the latter being that the organ in the little church had broken down. So Franz Gruber sat down at his grandfathers desk Immediately, wrote a simple melody for the poem and that night on Christmas Eve, in St Nicholas parish church wij for the first time sung Stllle Nacht, Henige Nacht" To the fact that the little organ In Oberndorf had broken down la due the widespread popularity of the hymn. The organ builder, Karl of Fugen In Zillertal, had been sent for to make the necessary repairs. He heard the air and hummed It in his native country, where it became very popular In a short time and soon spread all over the world. Thus It was, too, that Josef Mobr and Franz Gruber, two Austrians, helped make" Girlstmaz.

Throihgh an American woman, Miss Emily .the Idea was presented to, the' Arpdrlckn Red Cfriss, which, after several yfcnrj of atict ceesful sales, turhed the project ovf? to the American National association, which has since had charge of It.

If you do, then ylfii should know the name of Sljr Henry Cole, an Englishman, lor It was he who originated this custom, hater famous as a social and educational reformed, Henry Cole was a pioneer In fUustratlog childrens books with woodcuts of famous paintings. In 1840 he conceived the Hen of sending decorative caYds to his friends, hearlijg Ills good wishes for their happiness at Christmas. So Iw went to his friend, J. C. Horsley, a member of the Royal academy in Condon, "for the design and the re; suit was the card which Is reprojlurpfl above. But fep Englishmen followed 0les lead and the business' of making Christmas cards got un- der way very slowly In England. It whs even slower In geAUog started In this country. In 1873 t'ouls Brapg, a lithographer of Boston, exhibited snmbles of his flowered business cards at the Vienna exposition and they attretpd considerable attention. He had an Igency In London pnd one of his, women lynplo.w'ne there (hey name Is unknown) suggested to him that he put a greeting In place of the name ol his firm and Issue, them as Chrlstma,s cards. This was done the neft year, so that 1874,marks the fcpstwwlng of the Christmas card In this country. So Sir Henry Cole, the Englishman, and Louis Prang, .an American, can be added to.tteMl8t.of men who helped "mnke" Chrlsimas. A S Do your letters go out bearing a Chrlstnfts seal as wfll as a postage Itamp these diys? 'If they do, U's because Einar Holboell, a clerk fh tlje post office at Copenhagim, Denmark, while sorting the mountain of Christmas mall In 1903, had the Idea of another stamp for lefters which should combine a Christmas decoration Ideb with some prafitlcal purpose, He went with his pTan to the head of the postal service and others with Influedce and authority. And so, when Ihe first Christmas sAl committee held a meeting to discuss the pfir pose and nse of the possible Income from the Christmas seal, and It was decided that the first object was the erection of a hospital for tubercu lar children, and, in general, the income frem the seal should always be for the fight against tu berculosls. In one form or another. Upon application to the then King Christian IX, nolboell secured the permission to have a likeness of the deceased Queen Louise on the first Christmas seal, and the king befiame so Interested that be himself selected the picture which be wished used. The success of the venture was overwhelming, The first printing of 2,000,000 eals wa ,m 5.000,-00mediately Increased to 6,000,000 and over were sold. Since that time the Christmas seal sale in Denmark has brought In enough money to erect large numbers of sanitaria ant convalescent homes for tubercular patients.

Here's Ahy: , , Joel Roberts Poinsett was a hntive of South Carolina, ,who studied med!clne.for a tkne at Edy inburgh university and later graduated In science and mathematics at Woolwich academy. Ill health necessitated q long period of travel In Europe and Asia, after which he returned to America and .requested F resident &fad Ison 0 furnish him with military employment Madison made the suggestion pf the but Eustls objected. So Madison offered Poinsett a mission to South Amerlca for the purpose of establjshlhg friendly 'relations with the people there and investigating the rospects of their struggle fof Independence from pain. , This led to his becoming, qpmethffig of an aurelations, to his apthority on pointment to a special mission to Mexico In 1822 and bis appointment astbe first United States minister to thaj country In 1825. While holding that position he first beheld the exotic beauty of a brilliant red flower native to that country. When Poinsett returned to AIs home in South Carolina in 1829 he brought with him some of the seeds of the plant and Just a hundred years ago, In 1833, he sold some of the plants which he had grown In his hothouse to Robert Bnlst of Philadelphia. Bulst named the flower Euphorbia polnsettla" and although the scientific name has since become Euphorbia pulcherrlma" the name polnsettla, honoring the man who brought it to this country, has stuck and It has become one of our chief floral decorations at Christmas time. Poinsett later became secretary of war in Van Burens cabinet, after which he retired from public life. In the cemetery of the town of States-burS. C., Is a simple marble tablet which bears this inscription Sacred to the memory of Joel R. Poinsett, who departed this life on the twelfth of December, 1851, In the Beventy-thlryear of his life, A pure patriot, an honest man, and a good Christian."
