CHRISTMAS TREE.
"My Country IT'S of Thee, Sweet
Land of Liberty, OF Thee [ Sing the
childish voices shouted, and then some
of them dropped into another refrain
for the song was a medley, while the
others, those of the children of the
Bethel industrial school, went on a
little ways and then stopped in confu-
sion, while a smile lowered about many
of the faces of the teachers and moth
ers present. The singers were the boys
from the choir of St. Johns Episcopal
church, and so contagious had been
the effect of their fresh young voices
= the children of the school unconsciously
took up the refrain and were as sur
prised as anybody at the result.
Yesterday afternoon the Bethel in
dustrial school had it's Christmas tree
on board the boat. There was beau
tiful tree the gift of the kindergarten
of the Madison school, which 1t had
taken a week for the children t. pre-
pare and which was a beautiful sue
cess Then there was old Santa Claus,
who came a little late and objected to
the mud, and who had a familiar little
broncho pony hitched out doors. The
jolly old fellow had two packs of pres
ents with him, and everybody had at
least three bundles to open and no one
was forgotten. The choir from st.
Johns, with Mrs. Russell at the piano,
4 gave several pretty chOruses. and Ber-
trem Perry sang solo clearly and
sweetly. Mr. Morgan made a short
address, and, just before the ice cream
and cake were served. the children
listened to the story of boy Blue
and the Paper Dolls" Then came the
good things to eat, and then every one
said thank you" very prettily to Miss
Newport, the superintendent, and the
teachers who assisted her. ard went
home tired and hanny Tho tear""r9
