BEAUTIFULLY GAINED.


Tine Sunday school of the Christian
church met Christmas night for social en-
tertainment ana to administer Il treat 10 the
children.
Services opened with welcome song and
PRAYER, after which the pastor, Rev. II. p.
Tandy, made short pointed speech which
WAS followed by very appropriate
recitation and song. II was then announced
by J. Il. Snively, Superintendent of the
school, to prepare for the treat. Just then
the pastor arose and commanded the super
intendent TO stand aside rs he thought his
first speech failure and would try his hand
again. In closing his little speech. he said
that the teachers and scholars had author
lied him 70 say that they had watched Their
superintendent movemements, and that
they had authorized him; not particularly
to administer rcpriInand, but they had
concluded he needed good caneing lie
then produced very handsome gold-headed
cane, beautifully engraved. The following
inscription was beautifully engraved there
on: To j. II. Snively, Sapt-, from the teachers
and scholars of the Sunday school of the
Christian church, Wichita, Kansas. In
presenting the cane the pastor made very
neat speech, and WAS followed by the super
intendent in short appropriate speech. Mr.
ID. ;. Pence presented each member of his
class with nice present, and in return WAS
presented by the class with a most appropri-
ate gift. Then followed the general treat, in
which all participated. Considering that it
was an extempore affilir, it was decided
success. The pastor and his amiable wife
were not forgotten. They received a little
parse of money, some Of the necessaries of
life and a beautiful crazy quilt. with alternate
blocks of silk and satin.

THAT cHRisrMAs DINNER.

There were many fine spreads, many rich
repasts discussed Christmas day in tie
homes Of Wichita, but We know of one at
which were only present baby boy and an
old man. The handsome bright little mis-
tress of the kitchen who halls from the land
of Hamlet, TINT soil prolific of olden-time
noble feasts, had dressed and trussed a roy
al specimen of the real emblematic bird of
America The two sisters of the household
had gone to spend the day with friends in
another city, the Oldest son had boyish en-
gagcnenfs Of his own TO meet and the father
and mother were enjoying the Inequalities
e friends down on south Main street and
Tie pretty cook and baby boy were thus left
the sole occupants of tina. home-the one
TO serve and the other the sole monarch of
the feas. which had been prepared with such
care. 1t so happened that the aged grand
father, who had arrived on the train during
the night before. made his appearance just
before the turkey was taken from the
oven and these lone two sat dow to the feast
together, the one with his white bib beneath
his dimpled chin and the other with his
white beard upon his breast, grandsire and
grandson; the one with the frosts of seventy
two winters resting upon his head, the other
with the bright suns Of but two summers
upon his; one with life all before him, the
other with that conflict all behind him; one
in his beauty fresh from the hands of the
infinite, the other in patience waiting to be
received back 10 that same loving hand; the
bud and the full ripened fruit. Upon the
return of the inmates of that home, as were
falling the shades of evening, the soft light
of the fire revealed these two heads close,
lovingly together over a holiday number of
the "Babe and the Manager" That these
dear heads formed a touching picture for at
least one may be readily balieTed, and
that one the writer of these lines, who is the
son of the one and the father of the other.

RENTS IN WICHITA.

There is every reason to believe that the
renting in this city are too high, and will
ultimately result disastrously to the business
interests here. The time has been when this
city had very little competition for the retail
trade of very large territory surrounding
this place. But now we have towns in every
direction from here built up on the railroads
projecting from this city, every one of which
is competing for the retail trade formerly
held by Wichita. The merchant in this city
has to pay from $500 to $500
year for his room, while ground
being very cheap in the adjacent
towns the merchant there can buy lot and
erect comfortable business room for very
little more than the Wichita merchant pays
for single years rent. This is an impor-
tant item when it comes to estimating the
years profit, and there is question whether
this difference in expense will not enable the
merchants in the surrounding towns to sue
cessfully compete with our own. Owners
of business rooms in this city might do well
TO consider this matter. Ii is not only nee
essary that this city do as well for their Gus
toners as surrounding towns, she must do
better. The farmer will not bring his wheat
or corn or hogs from Clearwater or Mulvane
or Goddard or any Of the surrounding towns
if he can get the same price nearer home.
After he has received the money for his pro-
duce at the nearest railroad town the farmer
will not bring his IN oney TO Wichita TO buy
goods unless he is satisfied that he will buy
cheaper here. The merchants of this city,
by buying in larger quantities, may get
goods cheaper, and by selling more goods
can sell cheaper; but if what he gains in this
way is overcome by extra rents he can not
afford TO undersell his competitors. What
we have said about rents for business houses
can be applied to residence houses as well,
the rents of the latter being out of ali rea-
son as compared to their cost. There are
times Of great shrinhage in the values Of
produce, labor and every species of proper
ty, and all things will seek their equilibrium.
The sooner the better for all concerned

SANTA cLAus eReuArEp

Yesterday morning about O'Clock one Of
the clerks at lines & Ross dry goods house
was using red hot poker TO thaw the ice
from the frozen and obstructed drainage
tubes in the show window that contained old
Santa Claus, and the outfit that has attracted
SO much attention and ELECTED such favorable
comment from the public. Tho hot iron
came in contact with some of the fimsy and
highly combustiblc material with which the
window was dressed, and in an instant the
children's friend was envelcped in flames,
and the entire contents of the window were
in blaze. Santa Claus was soon hustled
out and dumped onto the frozen street, and
a hand grenade fired at him. The bottle
did not explode, and the old STYLED water
bucket was resorted to, with same result,
when grenade was exploded and the con-
fagration was no more. This did not hap
pen, however, until quite serious loss was
sustained in the destruction Of goods that
went to make up the display of the window,
some OF which were rich and costly, and
Col. lines estimates the cost at $500. This
is quite serious and sad termination to the
career Of the great Christmas attraction of
the city, in which all felt interested and for
who all are sorry.

EBB AND FLOW.

1t is said that three couples OF our young
society people on last Wednesday evening,
organized themselves into little party to
have social time at the home of one of the
number up to midnight, then to welcome
old Santa Claus and in order to be in time
for early mass at 5 o'clock on Christmas
morning, where they were to assist in the
singing, they stayed up all night.
Those who claim to know say that more
tired and hagard looking appearance than
they presented On Christmas has not been
seen since the arctic explorers were dis
covered.

serene, but the lords Of creation, horrors,

oHRIsrMs NIGHT ADJUSTMENTS.

Christmas night there was large attend
ance at the rink, and the devotees of roller
skating appeared to enjoy themselves hugely
as they swayed to the music of the colored
band. Rousing fires were kept booming in
the large cannon stoves, and every oppor.
tunity offered youthful humanity to have a
a very merry Christmas evening.
Although it was Christmas evening, and
great preparations had been made for the
event, the ball that was given at the opera
house on that occasion was but meagerly
attended, and must have resulted in a loss
to the originators. This is be deplored, a:
the music was fine, being furnished by Rich
ards orchestra, the floor was in excellent
condition, a spleadid supper was served, and
the occasion being Christmas night, when il
is supposed that everybody enjoys them
selves, it would appear strange that the result
was not very different, and that crowded
house cannot be chronicled.
