HAPPY NEW YEAR.

church New Years night attracted
an audience that required somewhat
more than the seating capacity. 1t
was an excellent and well-rendered
striking all average. An
earnest invocation by Rev. Brown
followed the opening number by
Rosebrooks orchestra, which, as
usual, was the leading attraction.
George McCaulou and Eli Gather,
with mandolin and guitar, picked
out several delightful numbers.
Fred Ross warbled "The Belle of
Honolulu"-and disappointed the
audience-because he wouldn't war;
bic some more. Little Gertie Crosno
sang "The Drunkard's Lone Child"
in very impressive manner. Le-
land Collins told some secrets on
the Ladies Aid society. He will
soon be singing They're After
Me-" Mrs. Swope rendered Don t
Go Out Tonight, My Darling" in
touching and artistic style. 1t was
in two acts; Mr.. Swope was "My
Darling;" he was stubborn and
went out and joined the boys
in about three minutes he was
brought home by couple of his
chums who had drank him off his
feet. 1t was record breaking jag
and the moral was plain: Don
Go Out" Little Myrtle Dohsor
of Yaquina, aged ~ years, sang
Mammals in Heaven" her child
ish voice fitting the number per
fectly. Myrtle captured the au
dience. Mr.. Soule presented ;
violin solo-and is still alive. Th,
instrumental duet by Shedd anc
Leon Rosebrook was real music
and the audience was just then il
condition to appreciate it. Th
vocal solo, "Silver Bells, by Faitl
Stewart was one of the best voca
numbers of the evening, and merite,
all the favorable comment whicl
has been heard. The cantata, 9th
Ten Virgins, was appropriated
impressive, and reflected mucI
credit upon the participants an
their teachers. Olive Brumfel
recited "The Closing Year" wit
becoming solemnity. Charlie Hyd
sang I've Just Come Back to Sa
Goodbye" in a manner as tende
as young chicken. We are il
formed that it took him until 2:3
a. m. to say goodbye to her, an
he would probably have staye
longer had it not been necessar
for him to get ready to catch th
morning train for Eddyville. Th

Exactly. This is the year
1ooo"-the beginning of it. If
that statement means completed
period of time" if "it means that
nineteen hundred years have
passed." why, then, must we write
1900" until January I, 1901?
This is the nineteen hundredth
year. 1t takes nineteen hundred
full years to make nineteen CEN
turies. Your clock illustration is
as clear an argument as is needed.
1t is not I o'clock until it is I
o'clock, but the time before that
hour is reached is the first hour.
Unlike our respected correspondent,
we do not "extend our sympathies." "
Persons in state Of blissful iugnor-
ance do not need sympathy. They
are happy-and that is enough.
However, this closes the contro-
versy so far as THE LEADER is
concerned. We expect few who
constitute the minority to keep
right on living in the twentieth
century before its dawn.

We're At 1t Again.

Elk City, Or, Jan. 3, Iooo.-Mr.
Editor:-In your issue of December
22 you say: eve disclose no secret
when we remark that the twentieth
century doesn't begin on January
I, 1900"
Now, while I dislike to disagree
with those who are wiser and better
looking than myself, yet 1 would
mildly insist that the twentieth
century did begin on January I,
1900. This is the year Iooo-(nine-
teen hundred That statement
means completed period of time;
it means that nineteen hundred
years have passed. If the period
was not completed and we were
only entering upon that year, in
stead of it being the year nineteen
hundred, it would be the nineteen
bundredth year. There is a great
difference between the twentieth
century and the year 5000; at the
present time the difference amounts
to a hundred years.
Our markings of time are Uniform.
On the dials of our clocks it is not
I O'Clock until the first hour has
passed; the second that it has passed
we are in the second hour, but it is
not two O'Clock until the second
hour is fully completed.
Elk City school marched into the
new century on New Years day.
We extend our sympathies to all
those who lay a year behind the
time. but we cannot delay the pro-
cession to accommodate them.
