ton will ne held, to which the house
keepers of st. Paul and suburbs are in
vited. The great store will be converted
into museum of attractions, and there
will be entertainment for old and young
alike.
Those who have never seen Sitting
Bull in the flesh and war paint may to-
night look upon a counterfeit of the
willy savage that is considered as faith
full likeness as though re Elected from
a mirror. The artists who modelled the
figure, rifle i'll hand, warily emerging
from his tepee to take part in his last
fight, are entitled to much credit.
The scene representing the Bad
Lands affords correct idea of the spot
where the great Medicine Man gave up
the ghost, and is from the brush of Mr..
A. K. Hurt, the accomplished scenic az
fist at Lifts grand opera house.
In another part of the store the eX-
perience of Little Red Riding Hood will
be pictured. Not far away may be seen
good-natured Santa Claus and his sly
method of fattening the stockings of
good little boys and girls.
A few steps further is an deliberately
gotten-up portiere. Seated therein will
be two handsome japanese maidens dis
cussing over their tiny teacups society
matters in the land of the Mikado; and
look where you will, up, down or ashanti
the mammoth store, objects of interest
will confront you. Christmas ever
greens will be artistically feStooned,
electric lights will brighten the gay
scene, SeIbert's full band will be pres
ent and discourse music until midnight.
Yerxa's army of employees will serve as
guides.
Should there be, during the evening,
inclination upon the part of visitors to
trip the light fantastic toe, there will be
plenty Of music, room enough and no
law against it.
Here's the musical programme with
Prof. George Seibert at the baton.
