Chapter, U. D., OF the Order of the Eastern
Star, had under discussion proposition TO
have "children's night" and after time
committee was appointed, and such a night
was had last Saturday in the chapter hall at
sixteenth and Valencia streets.
All business that could be postponed was
laid over and at 8 80 O. clock the doors were
opened to the little ones, who were out in full
torce-from the sweet-faced cherub in long
clothes n its grandpa's arms to the sed ate miss
who has reached the proud moment in her
life when she can tell how much "two tines
seven Is" Out of doors the wind had the
chill OF winter, but inside of old Mission
Lodge Hall was like bower in spring. The
grim walls were covered with profusion of
fragrant howers, nesting in ferns, while on
the floor there was bewildering mass of
sailor suits, knickeT bockers, curls, dainty
dresses, sashes, rosy cheeks and bright eyes.
TO the older persons it presen ted an IDEA of
ch1lGren's paradise.
For the nonce the little ones were the wards
OF the chapter, and when one of the visitors
asked whose children they were the reply
given was: "For this night they not yours,
nor mine, but they are the little angels of
Mission Chapter" Mr.. Ordway, acting as
master OF ceremonies, announced programme
that had been prepared, and it was one that
was much enjoyed. All the numbers, which
included music, songs and recita tions, were
by tie children, and the evening is one that
Will long be remem bered. AT the close of the
programme there was lemonade and cakes for
the children and the adults.

Electric Bitters is medicine suited fol
any season, but perhaps more generally
needed when the languid, exhausted feel
ing prevails, when the liver is torpid and
sluggish and the need OF tonic and alter
alive is felt. A prompt use OF this medi
cine has often averted long and perhaps
fatal bilious feyers. No medicine will
act more surely IN counteracting and
freeing the system from the malarial poi
son. Headache, indigestion, constipa.
