CHURCH ENTERTAINMENTS.

Rev. VIM. Bayard Hale, IN the Forum.
Female minstrel shows have been
this year the most popular Of church
entertainments in Massachusetts,.
These interesting religious events
have exerted their enlightening and
refining influence in almost every
part of the commonwealth. Most
OF them have been arranged and
conducted with great ability, and
with the keenest appreciation of
the tastes OF the sporting and
amusement loving public. At Mid
dleboro the Unitarians e~nlivened

song and dance turn, IN imperson-
alton of the Bowery Girl, and a

festival, following the prevailing
fashion, took the form Of an enter

"Miss Trilby Foote, the i%nterlocu

ancient town has witnessed for many
years. No less pleasant was the
dance which followed, lasting til

The young man had seen the play
before. He let everybody for four
seats around know that, and he
kept telling just what was coming,
end how funny it would be when 1t
did come. He had Q pretty girl with
him, and he was trying to amuse
her. At length he said: "nid you
ever try listening to q play with
your eyes shutf You've no idea
how queer 1t seems" A middle
aged man with a red face sat just in
front. He twisted himself about In
his seat and glared at the young

THE CHILDHOOD OF NAZARETH.

We know not Just how long the family

Their intention seems to have been to
return to Bethlehem, but hearing that
Archelaus was reigning in Judea, he was
afraid, and being warned in a dream, he
turned and went back to Nazareth, and

Bozeman, Jan. 27.-The case Of the
state of Montana VS.. w. c. Lolita,
charged with allowing Edward A.
Pease, a minor, to frequent his saloon,
came UP before Judge A. d. Mcpherson
to-day at the court house. County At
torney Holloway proved that young
Pease was a minor, his father testify
ing to that, and by other witnesses he
showed that Pease was in the saloon OF
the defendant on the evening specified
in the complaint, on Saturday, Jan. A..
The defendant, through his attorney,
w. S. Hartman, admitted the foregoing
in full, but brought numerous witnesses
upon the stand to prove that the de-
PENDANT, w. G. Lolita, had at various
times during the past few months ask
ed young Pease his age, he always re-
plying that he was 81 and bt was sought
to prove through these witnesses that
the intent of the law had been lived up
to, and the Judge so ruled, discharging
the defendant.
The complaint in this case had been
sworn out by the Citizens league Of
Bohemian and, as 1T was the first case
brought by the Citizens league, which
has been fought, st excited good deal
of interest.

Queer Things In Congress.

Yellowstone Journal: They d. some
queer things in congress sometimes.
The other day member introduced a
joint resolution, calling attention to
the fact that unsightly scaff olding
reared in the rotunda of the capitol
building as a perch for a decorative
painter, had not been used for several
years past, and providing for its re-
moval. At this distance from the ro-
tunda of the capitol building the pur-
pose of the resolution seems to be emf
nently proper, but another member
who had probably gotten used to the
old scaffolding, put in the terse, Il
object, Mr.. Speaker" and, as under the
rules, the resolution could not be con-
sidered except by unanimous consent,
1t went over and the scaffolding will
remain to offend the aesthetic SENSIBLE
tiles of the resoluter On the same day
another resolution was introduced APP
propriating $4,000 for the improvement
of the house restaurant and kitchen,
and pending the consideration of 1t
quite hot debate ensued. A member
of the appropriation committee de-
clared that there was no money appli-
cable to the purposes of the resolution.
The father of ii asserted that there
was, and il there was not, he would
find a fund. Another member wanted
to know If it was designed to improve
the cooking. and suggested that there
ought to be some means devised by
which a member could get a meal
without three or four days salary for
it. The grumbler was assured that If
the resolution went through he would
be largely benefited in the respect
complained of. After considerable OF
such talk, Mr. Bartlett of New York,
the same gentleman who objected to
considering the scaffolding removal
resolution, objected, but finally with
drew his objection and the resolution
was agreed to. OF course the members
do other things of more moment, but
they do these things. too.

Satan and the Idlers.

Deer Lodge New Northwest: A
glance at the police court reports of
the daily newspapers OF any Montana
city these days will convince one of the
truth of the old adage in relation to the
idle hands which satan keeps busy at
mischief. The idle hands are plentiful
in every community, especially among
the boys and young men of the country,
and the crop of mischief makers grows
larger every year. particularly among
the boys and young men. There never
was a time, perhaps, when reformato-
ries were so greatly needed or when
those already in existence were so
overcrowded in proportion to the pop
ulation. The cry is constantly going
up that the reformatories are not large
enough and that separate institutions
are needed or the very young offenders
so that they may not be thrown in
contact with the older and more eX-
perienced in crime. Take up the Ana
conda Standard almost any day of the
week and and you will read of incor-
rigible boys who are utterly beyond
the control of their parents. and the
courts are sometimes compelled to do
nothing with them on account of their
extreme youth, and must wait until
they shall have grown older and more
vicious and shall have come within the
purview of the law. There can be no
and vice among the young is due in a
large measure at least, to the mania
that has seized upon the people for
getting up in the world" The father
who has hammered out a living at the
blacksmith's forge does not dream of
making blacksmiths of his sons The
man who has showed the plane and
welded the hammer ever since his boy
hood thinks it is a hard way to make
"a living and tries to find an easier WAY
for his children. Thus it is that the
younger generation are growing up to
scorn the trades and those who follow
them. Hard hands and working clothes
are held in contempt, and the number
of these young people who are trying
to make a living by their wits is stead
lily increasing. In view of such facts
as these il would be, In the opinion of
this newspaper, wise in the state to
spend more money on Industrial
schools and less on colleges, which
throw out professional men or educaf-
ed vagabonds. The Rev. DR.. Reid of
BoZeman recently published in the
Anaconda Standard an admirable pa
per upon this question. The hope of
the country is in It's skilled artisans.
workers in all trades. The profess
sions are being overcrowded, and the
hordes of idle and shiftless boys are
growing larger. The state could spare
an occasional doctor or lawyer Just to
add a few bright and energetic young
men to its army of workers.
