CHILDREN's DAY
A Grand Success at I. d. Fox & Co.'s
Book and Music House.

"
A Grand Success at 1. d. Fox 3 Co.'s
Book and Music House.
A few days ago Messrs. I. d.
Fox & Co. announced in the News
that they would this season add to the
calendar q new holiday, to be called
"Children's Day." Agreeable to the no.
tice, on Friday, December 10Th, the store
was thrown wide open to the boys and
girls of Emporia. About 2 O'Clock in
the afternoon the children began 70
crowd into the rooms and find their way
to the second story from whence came
enlivened strains of music from one of
WheeiOck's upright pianos. From
this time Till late in the afternoon the
upper room was almost jammed with as
happy lot Of boys and girls as ever get
together. A long table, laden with toys
of every description, extended the
length of the room, along whose sides
and upon the walls were displayed pic
lures, statuary, vases and holiday goods
in general. Old Santa Claus himself,
after many endeavors to get in at the
windows, finally effected an entrance
through the hatchway, and letting down
his ladder was soon in the midst of the
merry hosts of young folks, and was re
ceived with perfect ovation of cheers
and shouts of ecstasy. Old saint Nick
took little present from his sack and
gave to each boy and girl. Such q crowd
such sport and meFriment, such noisy
! good humor and fun were probably
never seen in Emporia before. One lii
tie girl said: "Why, ma, never was 81
happy. ! saw SAINTS Claus with m.
own eyes, and shook hands with him
too" Certainly over . thousand chill
dren, many Of them accompanied b.
parents and friends, visited the stor'
during the afternoon
I. D. Fox & Co. have reason to fee
a proud Of the immense success Of th
; occasion and the satisfaction Of havin
5 made so many children happy for fe,
hours will no doubt be treasured b
