Something to Know.

1t may be worth something to know that
the very best medicine for restoring that
tired o%utnervOuS system to ahealthy vigoI
is Electric Bitters. This medicine is pure
~ vegetable, acts by giving tone to the
nerve centres in the stomach, gently stimu.
lates the Liver and KidneYs, and aids
these organs in throwing of impurities in
the blood. Electric Bitters improves the
appetite, aids digestion and is pronounced
by those who have tried it as the very best
blood purifier and nerve tonic. Try 1t.

Santa Claus at the Churches.

Christmas has come and gone again
and that wonderful story Of old Kris
Kingle or Santa Claus has bean repeat
cd to the little folks, songs have been
sung Of the birth Of the child Jesus In
that tar-Off eastern city long years ago,
aud the stories Of our Christmas gifts
and joys and those of our fathers and
grand-tsthers have been interesting
aud wonderful to the little ones once
more, and how We all have wished as
We told them that WI might turn by

K~rstefuI throng of childhood reaching
down into the little stocking to Q
what Santa Claus brought.
The day was generally enjoyed and
observed In Oskaloosa and vicinity In
the usual happy way. Most Of the
churches gave Sunday school sntertsin-
ments and Santa Claus either In person
or by proxy was present at all Of
them.
AT ST. JAMES CHURCH.
The entertainment on Thursday
consisted Of instrumental music and
songs, by the Sunday school. After

there was no Christmas tree, but the
room was beautifully decorated with
flowers and eVergreens. The program
consisted of excellent recitation and
songs by the children. Santa Claus
came laden with presents remembering
every child, and nuts and candy were
freely distributed.
THE CONGREGATIONAL SUNDAY
SCHOOL
assembled ct z P. n. Thursday to enjoy
their Christmas festivities. 1t was q
happy gathering in which the little folk
predominAted. There were two inno-
Vations introduced, one of which, the
absence Of the customary tree, was very
prominent, as In its stead q revolving
frame occupied the plstfrom, on which
lines were strung to hold the gifts, fas-
tened with clothes pins. To carry out
the Illusion Of Q clothes line several
hGndkerchIefs were hung among the
gtfts. Then again, owing to An scci,
dent to Santa Claus, in being caught in
. small chimney, having grown very
robust Of late, as announced by Mrs.
Santa Clans, she had to take his place,
and she brought her two little boys
with her, dressed up ss brownies, which
created much amusement. Truly we
are fast drifting from our old moor
ings into an epoch Of fsds.

We will hail Him, Christ our King,

Nay, we know this cannot be;
Jesus from such want Is free:
His the earth, the sky, the seas,
Now and evermore shall be.
But He knew our hearts would yearn
For His love to make return.
And He tells us in His Word,
We who have the story heard,
That he will accept q deed,
Done TO others In His stead.
Even q cup Of water cold,
Has His blessing manifold.
Foor His sake we bring 9 gift,
Hoping It will help to lift

Let IL help supply the need
Or the papers which we read,
And the qusrterlies which give,
Lessons showing how to live.
