She was visiting a mission kindergarten in Chicago on a December day. The story hour was in progress and the children were choosing stories to be told by the director. Little Tony said he wanted to hear the story about the "man who got sick on de ribbon." "The man who got sick on the ribbon?" said the teacher. "Why Tony, I never heard of such a story. What do you mean?" "Yessum, dats de story-'bout de man dat got sick on de ribbon." And that was all Tony could tell. The tea.chers cudgeled their brains and the children thought and thought, but the mystery could not be solved. Finall_y the director said: ..Well, Tony, we'll have to go on and let the other children choose, but if you can remember anything more about your story I'll tell it for you later." Several stories were selected and told. Finally one child asked for " 'Twas the Night before Christmas." A great favorite! The little ones gathered closer and clasped their hands iri eager anticipation. Dramatically it proceeded from the quiet of the hou.;e where "not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse," with "Mama in her kerchief and I in my cap. Had just settled down to our long winter nap" to the thrilling point when "out on the lawn there arose such a clatter I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter. Away to the window 1 flew like a Aash"-and when c;he reached the next words, "tore open the shutters and threw up the sash," Tony shouted, "Dat's de story, Teacher, dat's de story!"
