close Of the last verse they assumed
attitudes of entreaty and dispair.
Kneeling upon the stage when the
colored lights were burning in the

The tableau was impressive. Alfred

in an entertaining way. Richard
Anderson in clear voice spoke
"Tommy's Lament. Messrs.
Brown and Towner sandwitched in
some soul stirring violin solos with
piano accompaniment. The choir
done their part. After the distri-

Major Buford addressed the people.
His remarks were very interesting
as he summed up the, work of the
school and reviewed its work in the
past calling our attentions to the
prominent positions occupied by
those who had started in Siletz. A
tableau entitled Good Night"
closed the exercises. Three angels

Christmas at SiIetz.

given at Siletz Saturday evening
was one of, if not the very best, i'll
the history of the school. The
decorations by our artists were
good. Standing by the platform,
which extended across the building,
was the largest Christmas tree we
have seen, loaded with presents,
beautifully decorated with candles,
ribbons and glittering ornaments.
Underneath were three large has
kets nearly filled Ewith presents.
Great credit is due Superintendent
Betz and all the employees who
labored zealousIy to make it a sue
cess. The people commenced as
sembling early, and when the doors
were opened at 1890 p. m. the
building filled rapidly until every
available position was occupied.
When the curtains were drawn the
school, arranged on the platform,
sahg the opening song. The scene
was inspiring and everyone happy.
LeTa Charley read in a pleasant
way "The Story" about the babe
Of Bethlehem. The piano duet by
Mrs. Betz and Miss Kruger was
we'll rendered and we'll received.
w. H. Browns comic recital of
Germans trials and tribulations
captured the audience and deserved
the hearty applause that followed.
Esther Copeland never sang better.
Quiet reigned until the last word,
when the kusual expression of ap-
probation was awarded her. The
recitation, "Our Redeemer," exer-
else, christmas picture and song"
The Child and the Shepherd"
Ring, Merry Christmes EBells,"
were all given in a very delightful
way by the pupils, and their teach
ers are TO be congratulated on the
admirable success of their training.
Rev. Father Bucher, in a five
minutes talk, plucked some beau
tiful flowers of truth from the past,
present and future. His face glowed
with enthusiasm and he received,
as he richly deserved, commenda-
ton for for his aid in the entertain
ment. The vocal duet by Miss
Chambers and MRS. Bryant was
generously applauded. The can
tata, Well Have to Mortgage
the Farm" was received with the
warmest applause. /. 1t we'll merited
all the many expressions of pleasure
heard ON every hand. Major Bu-
ford, as the old man, in full gray
beard, gray hair and patched pants,
and Mrs. BetZ, as the old lady,

found it SO easy to play dude and

and must be seen to be thoroughly
appreciated. All sang and acted
their parts to perfection. Surprise

ability of Major Buford as an actor.
Many were the expressions of en-
couragementhgiven to all. Gladys
and Edna Pcairs touched all hearts
with their little motion song. Ola
