AS THE CROWDS CONE OUT.

The Della Fox Opera Company, after two
seasons of work together, has become some
what of a stock company. There have been
no material changes in that time. The
faces have grown familiar. and the friendiy
audience at the New National last night
welcomed the star and her admirable sup
port in a cordial manner.
There We're big odds against a large
audience-the circus was showing out ON
street and the weather everyone had

well known. and her friends are faithful
She has not changed an iota. and knows

The other ladies who distinguished them

who is still dashing brunette and retains
a fine article of Contralto voice. and Miss
Viola Knox, who is not as fleshy as she
used to be-. Her present size is immensely
becoming and gives her pretty face chance

JEFF De Angels leads the male forces.
Jeff is a prime fayorite. The prolonged
applause that welcomed him on the stage
last night demonstrated that. and the viii

THE CHAINLESS WHEEL.
Rumor That 1t win Make Its Appearances
In America Next Year.


Is it hereH Has the long expected
break in the safety" line arrived? Is
the ten years reign of the rear driven
bicycle to be overturned? RumQr says
that it is. Rumor says that company
which has always been allotted fore
most, if not the foremost, place. in the
Irado will produce bevel gear bicycle,
OF, i'll common parlance, a chainless BIZ
cycle, as it's leading wheel for the sea-
son of 1897. Rumor further adds that
this wheel is to be listed and sold at the
standard price of 500.
The growth of cycling has been one
of marvellous interest 1t has been q
revelation in the world of mechanics.
First, there was the old hobby horse of
1920, pushed along the ground by sheer
limb motion. Then, after 40 years, a
Frenchman enabled us to fly by afflxing
pedals, and we had the "bone shaker. {"
Then, ten years later, an Englishman

the goat" did not GUST the graceful

luted type of the 'bone shaker" or tall
nose breaker bicycle. The poor "goat"
lay dormant for ten years, when it
came out at an English cycling show
in commercial way and attracted uni
versal attention. This was in the early
eighties. Its influence grew slowly but
surely, and the Ordinary" died the
death. When the air tire was added, it
was all over. The Safety was king,
and the light, racing types are the acme
of mechanical strength, skill and deli
cacy.
But the point of perfection is the

mind at once began its search for new
worlds to conquer. The impression of
the general public was and is that after
the safety" there was nothing left but
the airship, and the aerial navigator has
been watched with expectant intensity.
Progress in the line of air navigation
is, however, as slow as the problem is
difficult and as the achievement will be
wonderful. Hence we are compelled to
grope along few more steps before
some wonder mind will spurn the earth
and master space. So, to repeat, rumor
says we have come to q new departure
in the way of earth travelling and cyco-

man whose Christmas gift was a pair of
lace curtains or delicate silk drape, or
something else which the wife had long

There are countless pretty trifes for
men. In families where there are many
presents to be given, it is desirable to
know of some pretty thing at when
man will not look scornfully.
Solid silver SHAREHOLDERS are to be had
for IS cents and upward. Then there
are silver keyrings in heart shape, and
other novel forms at same price. A
great variety of pretty scarf pins is to be
had. There are posta ge-stamp holders
also in silver, matchboXes and court
plaster receivers. A set of collar and
cuff buttons, two for the collar and two
for the inner cuffs, never comes amlss.
There is the more expensive pair or cult
buttons for the fine linen outer cuffs.
These should be handsome and somewhat
plain to be in best taste.

CHRISTMAS ONCE MORE.

Again Old Father Christmas greets US
With smiling face and generous store;
His presence welcome now as ever,
His laugh as joyous as of we're.
For time but CARDS the saint with blessings
His heart CLOVIS though the days be cold
He wells our homes with benedictionS,
The message Bethlehem heard of Old
Adown the years and through the ages,
Adopting kindness as his law,
He sings the song those angels chanted
Which listening millions heard with awe
And every year with kinder meaning
His bells re-echo once again
Gods peace to every land and creature,
Gods message of good will to men.
What better season to be joyous.
To gather round the fires of home;
The aged ones whose hairs are Silyered,
The younger ones who widely roam
Through distant lands and lonely places,
With happy thoughts to help and cheer,
OF greetings fond and loving faces
Which Christmas brings them once i year
Through bells and hearts and happy voices
Despite the cold and winters rhine
There rings, re-echoes, and rejoiceS
Gods greeting from the Olden time.
For Christ was born, and Christ is risen
Ring out sad thoughts of ills and crimes
Ring in the brth-pledge of a Savior,
Ring loud your joyful Christmas chimes.

FOR BOYS AND GIRLS.
Old Santa Claus at Crow Agency.


Santa Claus will need an extra relay
of reindeers and a very warm coat this
year. After he has made his calls in
the towns and cities, he will have to
scamper across the snow-covered plains
of South Dakota, some hundreds of
miles from any big town, to keep an
appointment with the little Indian chill
dren at Grow agency. There are eighty
six of them at the school, ranging from
to II years of age. Santa Claus made
his first call there last year, and these lit
tie Indians fell in love with him. He
brought them sleds and skates, and dolls
and lot of good things to eat, and they
are looking forward to his return with
great expectations.
The Crows are a peaccable and indus
trious tribe. They are the handsome
and heroic type of Indian which Long
fellow has described in his poems. The
day before Christmas these tall men and
women will come stalking over the plains
to the agency, wrapped to their heels in
gaily-colored blankets, their faces paint
ed red, their head-dress decked with
Uncle Sam, who is represented by Capt.
Watson at the agency, is very generous
at Christmas time, and the brilliantly
decorated tree at the school is an OBJ
ject of great interest to them. They
sit smiling with evident delight, while
their children recite and sing. 1t is q
thing to touch ones heart to see these
dusky little children of the plains, their
faces touched with Christmas sentiment
and their voices lifted in "the new song"
Their fathers and mothers are said to be
