BEE Mans and, Monday evening, with
Christmas tree at E. M. BOtsfOrd's, whose

made many little hearts glad. Recita-
tions were given by. Susie and Bonnie
Smith, Grace Hook, Ruby Downs, Ber-
tina Davis, Rosa Burdette, Julia Dun

r. L. Warner, in well chosen words, voic-
ed the thanks Of the school to superin-
tendent and teachers for their unselfish
services. The BEE Man was there, at
any rate he seemed very numerous when
Santa Claus was unloading the tree, as
the following verses show, though they
do not name all the kind friends who re-
remembered the editor:
This turkey gobbler that You see
Is tor the editor of the BEE;
1t came from Easton, SO they say
Either in o wagon or sleigh.
Now Mr. Duncombe, with good pluck,
Went out and caught good fat duck
And he just thought that he would try
To scare that turkey and make him fly.
After hearty music and games, the Jol-
ly company broke up proud of the sue
cess Of Botsford Hills first Sunday school
and Xmas tree.
