Althoff's store was surely a very busy place, Saturday, where th^ Christmas shopping season opened witiysome very satisfactory sales and orders were taken for many of the larger items. The genial, generous old gentleman known as Santa Claus was born in Holland. He is known there as St. Nicholas; patron saint of children. ' He undergoes some striking changes in his miraculous travels, around the globe and, although masquerading under several aliases, he remains the same cheerful, tireless old fellow everywhere. In France he is known as Noel, in Germany he is Kriss Kingle, while in Holland he forsakes the traditional reindeer and sleigh we know so well and rides about on Sleipner, a steed belonging to Woden, God of'Harvest.
