ON CHRISTMAS NIGHT.

However pleasing may have been the
exercises Of Christmas eve they were i'll
no way superior to those of last night.
The Grace Reformed church was
filled to the door by an attentive con
gregation last evening. Here, TOO. a
Christmas tree was in full bloom aud
there were other attractions in the
shape of Santa Claus, fairies, and a
Christmas well. The exercises entitled
christmas Voices passed off smooth
ly and the participators covered them
selves with glory by their careful rem
dition of their parts. The pastor, the
Rev. A. s. Dechant, was remembered
by the gift of student lamp, die
tionary holder and other presents from
his flock. He thanked them in an ap-
propriate address. -...-.-.. -s
The small admission price charged
at the Christian church did not prevent
a crowd being in attendance. The
church would not hold all who desired
admission. 1.-THE Frost Queen and
Santa Claus was tie title of the can
tata given and the characters were veil
taken. Especially pleasing were the
parts of the little girls who repre-
scented fairies. Much credit is due Mr.
r. B. Kelley who had spent much
time in making the arrangements.
Holy Communion was held at the
Episcopal church yesterday morning.
The church was handsomely decorated.

plimented. The little ones were re-
membered with small gifts while the

He WANTED JUSTICE.
A Very Queer Idea of the Power
of the Police.

tall, sparsely settled man, with ball
joints in his knees, ambled into the Central
Police Station about 9 o'clock last night in
search Of Justice as she is melted out. Ap-
preaching the Captains desk, he hung him
self up by the elbows and, as he came to
piare rest, one knee-jOint few backward,
followed by the other. until his pins in
profile looked like the hind legs of horse.

after justice for great wrong. He stared

Now ! want to know If You can't do some
thing to make him speak to me when we
meet again. Can you?" and the tall man
with the reversible joints looked pIeadingly
at Captain Douglas.
The Captain bowed his head and APP
peared to be thinking deeply for several
moments. Then he spoke, and his voice
was that of man struggling with some
mighty emotion.

properly come within the jurisdiction Of the
Humane Society. Go round and see them
