MANY HAPPY CHILDREN
Gather at the Franklin Building to Arrange
for the Christmas Club Dinner.

Gather at the Franklin Building to Arrange
for the Christmas Club Dinner.
A troop Of children tripped into the Franklin
School building this afternoon and climbed up
the stairs to the great hall on the top floor.
They had come as members of the Children s
Christmas Club of district No. 2 to ar
range for the annual dinner which will
be given to the poor children of the
city. There was q happy Christmas sound
about their laughter and their merry chatter
which filled the hall while they were waiting
for the meeting to be called to order. The
boys as well as the girls were present, showing
that this club and its kindly objects inter-
est all classes. Miss Strong, Miss McCalmont,
and other ladies were there to give the children
the benefit of their management and advice.
After q while the hum of voices were stilled
and then Mr.. s. G. Clark spoke few words
about the objects Of the meeting and intro
duced to the members their new
president and vice president. Miss
jamie Fuller. daughter of Chief Justice Fuller,
and Miss Jessie Miller, the daughter of the At
torney General. Then began the task of select
ing walters and mattresses. There were plenty
of willing assistants offered, but selection was
determined to a large extent by size and
age. Each boy and girl was presented with a
ribbon badge upon which was fastened ling
ling bell. The Children's Christmas Club of
1890 inaugurated its work under favorable cir
cumstances, and there is every prospect that
the dinner this year will be equally successful
as any in the past.
