EAR old Johu Hallou waa an Auatralian ii<]natter with a problem to solve. Its Bululion wor¬ ried bim ex¬ ceedingly for ¦om* week*, but, beiug fortunately for hioi a millionaire in tbo pound ¦terling seoae of the word, solve it he ultimately did to the Batisfaotion of llil eeven-year.old daughter, Alice, at le*it. And she, nfter all, was tho prinoipil party to be considered.
We have beard boiv, ns the moun¬ tain refused to comu to Mohammed, that old hnmbuu, pretending to bave received a huddeniuepiratiou, tuonnted hi* sacred camel and went to the mountain,
Johu Halton did better than Mo- bammed; be brought England to Ballarat and compelle.l Santa Claus to viait Alice at tbe simmering anti- podea. He surrounded her for tin- one day nf December 2."), 1877, with miatletou and holly and ivy; he showed her a Hurry of geuuine snow; bo euabled her to slide ou tbe ice, nnd
tbey might aeeing that four of her father's faithful employes wire indus¬ triously shaking thom out of ice boxes from the roof,
Al midnight a elnmor thnt might •wake the dead, nroused .\lice from her sleep. She beard loud voices cry¬ ing out:
"Hold on there, Slasher! Steady, Crasher! Whoa, Uonuer! Oee there, Blitzen!"
Running ouce more to the window, in a state of high excitement, .-^lico Holtou saw that tho ground wnu whitp, and, more than that, she saw four reindeer harnessed to a sledge, from wbicb sledge a stout man, furred to the eyes, was iu the act of step, ping.
"It is old Sanly,' soliloquized Alice, not at all afraid, thongh ber beart beat fast, "and be is coming here. I'm the ouly little girl in the house."
Being a sensible child, Alice crept softly back to bed, believing it waa the proper thing to receive such a dis¬ tinguished viiitor either whilo asleep or pretendiug to sleep. She heard bis footsteps as tbey came uearer snd nearer, and at last the redoubtalile Santa himself eutorod the room. Hhe fancied hu nan eouowhut tall for Ibo old gentleman, a* she had aeen bim in pictures, but, tall or short, he was laden down with all manner of good thinga. Ou the mantelpiece, the table, the chairs, the bed, the bene, ftcont "Santy" heaped up exactly thoae articles Alice thought she re¬ quired. Having disposed of his goods Santa Olaus bent over Alice iu her bed and, imprinliug a soft kiss on her broir, murmured "God bless you. darling."
Then Alice fell asleep. When nhe came down next morning everything wns aa Christmasy, ns  she  expressed
