It was the day before Crissmus an’ me an’ Huck was a-diggin’ in are snow igloo. We bilta fort around it an’ we wus jest a fixin’ the inards a little better. Huck got some water, an’ we was jest about ta pore water on it ta freeze it, when woops, it caved in. an’ we started ta fall. We was colder’n ise from the water we spilled on us, an’ all of a sudden we gets sort a hot, an’ sure a nuff, we wuz slidin’ cleen down Mister Deevil’s chiminey! “Hay you,” he hollers, “Do you think yer Santa Clause or what? Git yer carcass out a’here, or I will do it four you.” So we done it as fast as we cood. Then he cussed some uv the bee-you-tee fullest cuss words I ever herd. I wisht I dared cuss like that at the Sundy Scool Soo- perintendent. Then I seen a lot uv little deevils jumpin’ aroun’ an’ cussin' like holy terrers. They wuz jest like the regaler cleevil, onlee considerble smaller. They wuz red ’nd black with huffs an' horns an’ all them thiners. Then they tned ta hit us with their pitch forks, an’ I gess they’da done it ef they wuz farmers. But they wusn’t.

Then Huck sed it wuz hard ta breethe, an’ I sed, “that’s ’cuz we’re getin’ inta a vacyoom. After a while there won’t be no air ta breethe at all! Then we’ll both have ta kik the bukket, I gess, so sai yer prares.” Then Huck shut up. But after a while he sayd, “Tain’t neether.

1« TRUE BLUE tie Santa Clawses runnin aroun’, not quite as big as me. One uv ’m tooted a horn, an' the regular, big Santa come outa’ the houses’ chiminey rite neer there, an’ slapped us on are sholders an sed, “How-dee boys. Glad to see you.” Then he give a nod, an’ held on ta are hands, and I’ll be jingoed if we didn’t go up in the air an’ go clean down his chiminey. Then he had sum little Santa Clawses that wore apems go fix sum supper, an’ O, boy, them eats wuz dee-lishous!. Then he shoed us his storehouse, an’ it wuz jest like a toy factory only pertier. It had a lot of elevatored boards kinda shelvy-dum waytors around the sides which was covered with toys. Then they was little Classes in lether aprons runnin’ around workin’ fit ta kill like as if they hadda sent the things around now ’stead of in towers. Sum was lodin’ them on ta airships by elevatorin’ ’em, an others wus a lookin’ at a big long piece a’ paper that had kids’ nayms on too see who ta give things to. Then I seen sum ends uv ropes ’nd I started tu munky with ’urn ’nd all uv a suddn one of them there shelfs come down ker plunkity plank. I told the regaler Santa I wuz jest munkeyin’ an’ he sed it wuz all rite and that he cud fix all th jiggers as wuz busted with my- oosalege, ’nd they’d be alrite again. Then he sed, “C’mon! boys, an’ we’ll go fill the stockings.” So we went. We wient up in a airship a different way, ’cuz Santa sed the deevils wood be layin’ fer us p obablee, ’an he wanted ta fool ’em. So we went the different way. We landed at the North Pole, an' that’s where folks get the idea he lives there. But he don’t. Then we sailed around, an’ Santa wood go down in a parachute throo three peepul’s chimineys ta fill the stockings. Then all uv a sudden, Me an’ Huck started ta fall lickity cut, fastern eny train I ever seen. An’ th wind wuz a hollerin’ in- screechin’ ’u’ we wuz colder’n ise. Then we hit on sompin’ soft, and landed. We wuz jest in bed. ’Nd the wind wasn’t screechin’. It wuz jest Aunt Polly. Darn a ant. —R. E.
