From Our Correspondent.
Christmas was celebrated in the
usual style in this vicinity. The indi-
cations for a white Christmas in the
fore part Of the week were Offset by the
tbaws OF Wednesday and Thursday. A
finer night than Christmas eve could
not have been made to order. About
100 people gathered at the Pleasant
Home school house where the exercises
were to be held About eight o'clock
the tree was unveiled and the program
me, which consisted Of vocal music and
recitstions, was began. "The Bridge"
a recitation by Miss Mary Johnson,
was rendered in a clever manner, and a
poem by Miss Mamie Dillinger, telling
how the mouse put one thing more in
the weI-hIIed stocking, which was a
hole in the toe, brought forth eOnsid-
cradle applause. The music was up to
the standard, especially the songs by
the Pleasant Home qusrtette. A glance
at the tree revealed the fact that the
majority Of presents were In the dry
goods line, but there was large range
OF presents, from negro dolls to plush
albums. Ye scribe was the receiver of
a red neoktie decorated with a silver
brooch with the words, "Girl Wanted"
which tells the whole story. A treat
consisting of candy, apples, nuts and
popcorn was given to each individual.
1t would be hard to tell which was the
best satisfied, giver or receiver, but We
are safe in saying that all were amply
repaid for their efforts in making
Christmas eve an enjoyable occasion.
We cannot refrain from making q
few remarks on an idea that presented
itself to our mind from the result Of
the Christmas exercises There seems.
to be a spirit Of selfishness somewhere.
The idea that people should be CON-
PEELED to celebrate what ought to be
the brightest occasion OF the year in an
old dusty, sOddy rattletrsp of a school
house, seated on the hard side Of a six
inch plank for three hours, beside be-
ing compelled to breath the air scented
with the perfumes Of the denizens Of
forest, who have made a business Of liv-
ing and rearing their young under the
floor for years, when we have two fine
frame school houses, either one of
which is as near the center Of pOpula-
ton and either one Of which would
have been more comfortable and better
adapted to the occasion.
On Saturday a neighborhOOd dinner
was held at the residence Of F. P. New
hirter. A fair sized crowd gathered and
enjoyed themselves in visiting, skating
and playing out Of door games. The
main feature Of the day was the dinner,
Two large tables loaded with good
things that would have done justice to
the Imagination Of Dickens, were sur
rounded with guests who ate with
relish which only the people of western
Kansas can realize.
An oyster supper was given at the
residence OF D. Robinson in honor of
the I'D birthday Of b. h. Robinson.
Lew Warner came up from Colby to
spend Christmas with Jim Freeland.
B. E. Robinson came home from
Colorado Friday for short visit.

In proportion to the size of the city
in which it is printed, the Kansas City
Star has a larger circulation than any
other American newspaper. Its re-
markable success has been achieved
by its unfaltering adherence to the
rule of giving its readers the best the
the Stars increasing revenues could
furnish and its improved facilities
could supply. The Star was the first
newspaper to give its readers a full

day morning-fOr 10 cents, a thing
that could not be profitable except
when done on the big scale on which
