The work of erecting poles for electric
lights progresses daily, but not so rapidly
as the necessity for street illumination
requires. The glass bulbs have been
placed in the tabernacle, but up to date

Given by the Methodist Episcopal Sund

Given by the Methodist Episcopal Sunday
School
The Christmas exercises of the Metho-
dist Episcopal unday school, held at 600
East Fifth street, last Wednesday evening,
were the source of great deal of delight
and enjoyment to those who attended.
The program opened with piano solo by
Miss Maud Roney, which was followed by
a song by the Sunday school pupils. Miss
Eunice Stevens recited very prettly. Merry
Christmas was sung by Miss une Conner
and Jennie Clemens in captivating man
ner. The next number was a recitation by
Miss Carrie Kelsey, which was we'll rem
dered. Everyone joined heartily in song,
which was followed by vocal solo, Star
song, by Miss Jennie Clemens. recita-
ton by frankie Grorto was cleverly gwen.
Santa Claus Travels was the subject of a
bright recitation by Miss Norma Tomlin-
son. Bernice Tomlinson contributed a

1T WAS A GREAT CHRISTMAS DAY


A Family on West Twcnty-Eighth Street
Just what Mr.. and Mrs. Ed W. Hopkins
of 1852 West Twenty-Eighth street ex.
pected as a Christmas gift, the records fail
to show. That they did receive present
on Christmas day ia certain, ana that the
recipients were surprised at it can best be
judged when it is stated that 1t consisted of
twins-girl twins. Now, if eirl-baby or
otherwise after being looked upon is pro-
nounced good, it is logically correct to ga '
that two of them must of necessity be bot
ter. Hence, the premise being right, both
MIR. and Mrs. Hopkins are to be douby
fe'citated upon the good things. the pink
things that came to them on Christmas
day.
The parents. of course, appreciate the
responsibility. There ia always the danger
that the babes by careless handling NAV
he mis ed up TO their individual, collective
and eternal undoing. They will be refer
red to by some people as they, by others
as it, and it will never be settled whether
the present is singular or plural. As fuel
to fire, so must the loving father and
mother in years to come give their Christ
mas git Christmas presents The father
will see two babes who want two sets of
clothing, and who will want two meals
where ordinarily one would do. He is des-
tined henceforih to see double all the time.
but charitable world will not accuse him
OF being chroncally intoxicated.
1t was great Christmas day.

did not like to impose on him, but the fell
