frost, only few degrees. however. as
1t shows tendency toward period of
dormancy and will at least readily re-
cover from such period when enforced
by exposure that it may not actually

number of localities of varying tempera-
ture and I am led to believe that it can
be grown almost as extensively as the

two boys. After Santa appeared on
the platform he made his bow to the
audience and at once commenced the
distribution of candy, nuts and pop
corn among the pupils. Prior to this
spectacle there we're number of
readings, choruses, class recitations,
etc., by the pupils, and all of the lat
ter acquitted themselves nobly in their
line.
At the Presbyterian church there
were three evergreen trees decorated
with string popcorn and red, white
and blue paper chain, while around
the sides of the room over the doors
and windows were bows of cedar, and
Oh the organ was star of evergreen.
From the lamps also, we're hung cedar
branches. On the trees we're hung
stockings filled with pop corn and
candy for all the. children of the Sun
day school. Numerous presents we're
placed at the foot of the trees.
The exercises we're opened by pray
or by Rev. Sinclair, followed by a
talk on the work of the Sunday school
by Supt. E. G. Patterson. A song,
CHERRY Christmas" by II girls, under
the supervision of Mrs. Patterson, was
followed by recitations by Johnnie
Mead, Ida Crooks, Zita Parkhill and
Tracy Ferris. Ruby Curtiss then en-
tertained the:audience with song as
sisted by chorus of girls. This was
followed by several more recitations
by Ada and Abel Race, Dora Wolff,
Ruby Curtiss, Alma Libenguth, Tena
Smith and Gertie Hunter. After the
song christmas Bells" by the twelve
girls, Santa Claus, 'impersonated by
G. G. johnson, made his appearance
and the children were in high spirits
while the candy and pop corn was dis
tributed to them. After this was done
three rocking chairs we're brought in
from the rear room and Rev. Sinclair
was called upon to make a few re-
marks, in the course of which he pre-
sented to the three oldest members of
the choir in point of service, F. J..
Peabody, Mrs. G. G.. johnson and
Mrs. Cooper, the latter being organ
list, the rocking chairs. This closed
the exercises.
On Thursday afternoon committee
distributed the provisions and cloth
ing that had been gathered, to the
needy of the city, and merry Christ
mas was enjoyed by many which
otherwise would have been gloomy
one.
AT the Episcopal church of the
Holy Communion highly embellish-
! ed tree was the spectacle. There was
more or less entertainment in the line
of music, readings, etc., before the
fruit of the tree was given to those
present, and the little people went at
it all the more eager when it was Of
fered.
The Sunday-school Of the Christian
church also had tree on Christmas
eve. A large crowd, old as we'll as
young, we're present, and everybody
enjoyed the programme. The tree
contained fruits similar to those men
toned in connection with the trees at
the other churches.

INTERESTING HYPNoTIsM.
Prof Sage's Subject Aroused From His
Sleep Last Night.

RrOt, Sage's subject Aroused FROM HIS
Sleep Last Night.
Frederick A. Williams, the subject
who was put to sleep by Prof. Sage,
the hypnotist, in Fergusous on Mon
day night, last, and remained on cot
in the window space of the storeroom on
South Main street occupied by the Edison
Company until o'clock last evening, when
he was carried back to the theatre, was
awakened on the stage by the hypnotist
at 9:45 o'clock, or exactly As hours after the
sleep started. Owing to the muscular relaxa-
ton consequent upon the awakening six
attendants on the stage were required to hold
Williams. For about 90 or 80 seconds there was
determined struggle in which the attendants
found difficulty in retaining their hold; the
subject then awakened, looked dazed for a
moment or two, then his countenance
frightened, a smile passed over it and
Williams walked from the stage unassisted
and with steady strides, after max
ing courtesy to the audience. Just
prior to the awakening the subject was
weighed by George II. Krick, who an
nOunced the figures as 1914 pounds, Williams
having lost Al pounds during the sleep. He
weighed 1856 pounds on Monday night The
balance of the evenings program was both
interesting and amusing to an intense degree.
The hypnotic grouping for the tableau was
heartily applauded. There will be no ex-
hibition tonight, but two will be given to-
morrow, in the afternoon and evening
