A very interesting time was bad at the U. B. church Tuesday evening. The house was crowded with people, a goodly number of which were children, their faces radiant with joy and filled with a happiness that comes but once a year- at Christmas time. A nice programme was given, consisting of songs, recitations, etc.

An especial feature was the successful rendering of the musical composition entitled, "Hello, Central, Give Me Heaven," by the Misses Ola and Sadie Hand and Mabel Wright. Rev. Clark delivered a short but instructive address to the children and older ones. The tree was a marvel of beauty, decorated as it was by the large number of beautiful presents, there being something over three hundred presents distributed. E.

E. King performed the work of Santa Claus, and his coming, midst the ringing of merry bells, brought forth a burst of hearty applause from the little ones. The services were under the direction of Mr. Griffitts. The order was very good and all seemed to enjoy the occasion immensely.

Of all the up-to-date attractions presented by Woodward Burgess during the past few months, "Florodora" is one of the best. It is a musical comedy or light opera in two acts--but they are both good, full measure and occupy the time of four ordinary acts.

The play opens in the Philippines and closes in Wales, and is full of interest from the first chorus to the "finale." The songs and the music are late- at least in the West--and the singing is a treat for all lovers of melody Chas. W. Bowers and Maud Lambert were easily the favorites, although Grace Dudley is the sweetest singer in the company. The company will be at the Auditorium Saturday night, and all who can should take advantage of the opportunity offe, ed ver to see most beautiful produ, bring If th OWe 28, 1901. PERRY.

He d't not say "Please." In fact, he isn't like other men she has met.

She is learning what I call, for lack of a better term, "the art of witting-in." It is hard for her, because she has been petted at home, because her world has always ben kind to her because she has never realized what duty really means. Isimply can't make putty of myself," said a young woman who needed every dollar she could earn, and who had just resigned a place where she was fairly paid- "I will not be treated as if I were a factory girl. Why, they actually deducted 50 cents from my week money, because I was half an hour late just one morning. I'll starve rather than go back there." She fouud, when too late, that positions are not over plentiful, and, if she didn't starve, charity saved her. Now, to a business firm, in the heat of competition, the money paid for workers is only one item in a number of expenses which, in the aggregate, must be reduced to the lowest possible figure, in order to make competition possible.

If gallantry instead of system should prevail, young women vould be too expensive to be employed- even half-wages. It is the failure to grasp this fact that makes girls and women restive under necessary discipline.Alden in Success. Had to Agree.

I may say my brother is in Kimberly, and was oue of the gallant band of the town defense who helped to keep the enemy at bay during the months of the siege. Referring to the prolongation of the war, he says: "The fact of the case is that most of our officers are fonder of golf and cricket than duty.

Only last week two Boers went to one of our nutposts near here, right between two blockhouses, and left their wornout horses and took our fresh ones without any of our pickets knowing about it. And again, some officers were playing golf, when they were told the enemy WAS around. They finished their game, and then gave orders to fall in! but, meanwhile, brother Boer had exchanged their horses and all got away, our men not being able to follow on the Boer horses. That is the kind of thing that is keeping the war un." -SE James Gazette. A bill has been introduced in the senate by Mr.
