Yui (Mm When Santa Claus on Chris tmas Eve Comes speeding o'er the roofs, You will not hear the brow eruat break Beneath his reindeer's hoofs, ye Nor yet the ting-a-lmg-a-ling ELDcm That into music swells, When Donner shakes his silver reins, Or Blitzen rings his bells. But from the Land of Sugar Plums In silence all the way. St.

Nick will guide across the snow His treasure-laden sleigh, And all along the frozen road And down the icy street Will come the soft and padded sound Of clumsy little feet. For though the saint is growing old New fads delight his soul, And he has left his antlered steeds Behind him at the Pole, When your eyes ache, itch, smart or burn, when that pain at the top and back of neck increases, when there is almost constant pains in and about the eyes, when objects both near and far begin to look blurred, are you going to join that big class who have eyes beyond help? Are you going to let your eyes go, hoping against hope, that they wil) get better without aid Help is at hand today. Where o'er the fields of floating ice The norther's trumpet blares, And harnessed to his sleigh instead A team of Teddy bears. 'ft; Minerva C. Duncan Dead.
