    Extractions: ISBN: 1-55041-600-6 pb CDN US Stephen Butler Leacock (1869-1944), perhaps best known and remembered for his delightful book, Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town , remains today one of the best-loved humorists in the English language. Leacock lived through half of Queen Victoria's reign and half the twentieth century, embracing a world of unsettling changes. He wore many hats, including teacher, academic, author, public speaker, social leader, and family man. Stephen Leacock: His Remarkable Life is the most comprehensive and thoroughly researched recreation of his life as a writer, family storyteller, occasional speaker, conversationalist, and teacher; it alone will form the best background for appreciating the source of Leacock's humour and its significance in his own thought. Newspaper accounts, private letters, diaries and memoirs are brought together here with his published humour in an effort to understand Leacock's creative process and the impact of his life not only as a writer but also as a teacher and thinker.

70. The Errors Of Santa Claus (1919) By Stephen Leacock
    from Frenzied fiction (originally published 1919). The Errors ofSanta Claus. by Stephen Leacock (18691944). IT was Christmas Eve.  
    http://gaslight.mtroyal.ab.ca/gaslight/frenzyX10.htm
    
    Extractions: (originally published 1919) I T was Christmas Eve The Browns, who lived in the adjoining house, had been dining with the Joneses. Brown and Jones were sitting over wine and walnuts at the table. The others had gone upstairs. "What are you giving to your boy for Christmas?" asked Brown. "Let's have a look at it," said Brown. Jones fetched a parcel from the sideboard and began unwrapping it. "Ingenious thing, isn't it?" he said. "Goes on its own rails. Queer how kids love to play with trains, isn't it?" "Yes," assented Brown. "How are the rails fixed?" "Oh, yes, I catch on, makes a grade, doesn't it? just the thing to amuse a child, isn't it? I got Willy a toy aeroplane." "I know, they're great. I got Edwin one on his birthday. But I thought I'd get him a train this time. I told him Santa Claus was going to bring him something altogether new this time. Edwin, of course, believes in Santa Claus absolutely. Say, look at this locomotive, would you? It has spring coiled up inside the fire box." "Wind her up," said Brown with great interest. "Let's her go."

71. Merry Christmas (1919) By Stephen Leacock
    Merry Christmas. by Stephen Leacock (18691944). MY DEAR Young Friend, said FatherTime, as he laid his hand gently upon my shoulder, you are entirely wrong. .  
    http://gaslight.mtroyal.ab.ca/gaslight/frenzyX18.htm
    
    Extractions: (originally published 1919) "M Y DEAR Young Friend," said Father Time, as he laid his hand gently upon my shoulder, "you are entirely wrong." Then I looked up over my shoulder from the table at which I was sitting and I saw him. But I had known, or felt, for at least the last half-hour that he as standing somewhere near me. You have had, I do not doubt, good reader, more than once that strange uncanny feeling that there is some one unseen standing beside you, in a darkened room, let us say, with a dying fire, when the night has grown late, and the October wind sounds low outside, and when, through the thin curtain that we call Reality, the Unseen World starts for a moment clear upon our dreaming sense. You have had it? Yes, I know you have. Never mind telling me about it. Stop. I don't want to hear about that strange presentiment you had the night your Aunt Eliza broke her leg. Don't let's bother with your experience. I want to tell mine.

72. To Bank Or Not To Bank
    Stephen Leacock. Stephen Leacock (18691944) was a noted Canadian economist andhumorist. In the interests of accuracy, I should perhaps reword that sentence.

    Extractions: Honorary Mention - Open Category November 2001 Preface This article, as its title make clear, is all, well nearly all, about banking in this age of automation and electronics. It has been prompted by frustrating experiences I had with a cheque account which I misguidedly linked in an incestuous manner with my Credit Card. I wrote an indignant letter to my bank manager about the indignities which I had suffered. However, I knew what his reply would contain before I received it. Yes, he blamed the computer! Introduction My original intention in writing this introduction was to give my readers an educational treat by reproducing in full the segment on banking contained in the Encyclopaedia Britannica. However, I had an instant change of mind when I discovered it ran to about twenty-four pages! I then turned to my dictionary and found that the word bank (in the sense in which I am dealing with it) and its derivatives appear no fewer than fifteen times. A bank is - "An establishment which trades in money; an establishment for the deposit, custody, remittance and issue of money; the office in which the transactions of a banking company are conducted; ...''
