PUPILS OF IRVING SCHOOL
Render a splendid Program at Gar
field Hall.

The person who attended the entertain
ment given by the pupils OF the Irving
school last Friday night at Garfield hall
met with a surprise, and the best part
about it was the pleasure in being in at
tendance. 1t was undoubtedly the best
public school entertainment given in the
city and S125 was the proceeds Of the
night.
The affair was under the direction Of
Miss Mary Kelly. the efficient PRINCIPAL
of the Irving school, and everything was
carried out as had been announced.
The first number Of the program was
THE Sunfower Song" This was a
novelty. A canvass was spread across
the stage and on this was a row of sun
flowers. The children's faces made the
center and as they sang the audience
cheered.
The floral rainbow, which was Of inter
est was given by the Second grade
pupils.
Perhaps one of the most interesting
events Of the evening was the Tom
Thumb wedding by the 6-year-olds. u
was strikingly up TO date and fuii even
ing dress was displayed by the little peo-
pie There were four bridesmaids, four
ushers, best man and maid of honor
The groom was attlred in full dress
suit. The bride was gowned IN white
and the bridesmaids wore pink gowns.
After this interesting wedding was
piano solo by Miss jeanette Vail This
was a pretty selection and received the
applause that it deserved.
Miss Ina Hall recite5 THE Vagabonds'

Total number votes ................loa,458

Last night at G o'clock the Eagles free
educational voting contest closed. It was
for ten free scholarships In the Interna-
tionaI Correspondence Schools Of scran-
ton, Pa, a school of national prominence
and reputation. The contest was one Of
the most phenomenal voting contests ever
given nthe west in point Of interest and
number Of votes cast During the past
two months 10i 453 votes were cast for
the the different candidates. The con-
test was spirited. There were candidates
from Oklahoma. Missouri, Colorado and
a number who are residents of this city.
The scholarships are all valuable. The
winner has his choice Of them and so on
through the ten. Of course the last man
takes what IS left, but there may be q
possibility that it is just what he wanted.
The winner Of the contest secured 1859
votes, and is Mr.. Charles w. Jones Of
Riverside Mr. II. c. Houston had 1887
votes, with Mr.. r. G. Belew third with
1851 votes to his name, and so on down
the list until the scholarships are used up
During this contest the contestants
went about their daily labors and the Sc
curing of votes was done at spare times.
It was not a business with any of them
to devote their time to the getting of
votes, and considering this fact, the in
dustry displayed is marvellous.
The Eagle offer was one of the most
liberal of its kind. 1t is not the first
offer in educational lines by the Eagle.
but it was by far the most important. It
means that the fortunate young men can
qualify themselves for fine positions
without interfering with their present po-
sitlons. It may mean working at night
when other young people are enjoying
themselves, but ia the end it win mean
an education which any young man would
proud Of and the material for the same
furnished by the Eagle.
No one fully understood the value of
the offer until it was investigated. The
ten scholarships which are to be awarded
are as follows:
Mechanical Engineering.
Electrical Engineering Gncluding com
plete electrical outfit.
Architecture.
Civil Engineering
sanitary EluHlDiH5, l1edIinB ana V en-
tiIation

The selection of the scholarships Will be
made this week and the ten young men
win have received one of the finest
Christmas presents in the history Of
Wchita's Christmas.
There were some peculiar things in con
necton with the contest. People fin other
states became interested in the contest
and while they were not acquainted with
the contestants, sent their votes TO some
one Of the number. usually choosing one
WHOSE name struck their fancy.
One young man in the contest, and one
Of the winners. too, received a number Of
coupons yesterday from California. He
did not know where they came from but
he used them Just the same.

STILL TRADE WAS GOOD

Yesterday was one Of the most disa-
greeable days of the winter months. but
in spite of that fact many Christmas
shoppers were out during the day. The
crowds in town were not large. 1t would
have been a serious question in the
stores for the clerks 10 have attended TO
the many customers had the day been
fair. Yesterday. however, the person
who ventured out purchased something.
and every store had its share Of custom
ers, and the clerks IN almost all Of the
stores were kept busy during the after
noon.
BY evening the rain had stopped, and
this caused many people who were kept
at home during the morning TO visit the
stores. AS late as II o'clock there were
shoppers on the streets who had their
arms loaded with packages, VEINS
their way homeward.
If tomorrow should be clear Wichita
Will see one of the most wonderful ex-
cursions Of shoppers into Wichita stores
that has ever occurred in this city.
Farmers were deprived Of an opportunity
TO do their hnal trading yesterday be-
cause Of the rain. but tomorrow viii see
them in town early. The city shopper
viii be out. too. and by the middle-of the
afternoon tomorrow the merchants an
ticipate a crush and a jam that will be
hard 10 handle.
one merchant said yesterday; I've did
not have the trade that we expected, but
that is easily accounted for because Of
the rain. If the day had been clear 1t
would have been a serious question with
every merchant in Wichita as TO the
handling Of his customers. Monday, II
bright and clear, viii see crowd, and
the person who wishes 10 avoid Jam
win be out early Our trade has been
surprising, though. for the shopper who
was out today had money to spend and
that was what he or she was out for
The day yesterday was most disa-
greeable one. The wind was raw. The
rain was cold and the wind had the ef-
feet of making it cut as It fell. The pc
destrian who attempted to carry an UNI
brella had a hard time, and more than
one person lost his hat or umbrella be-
fore going very far.
Wichita's Christmas in all respects VIII
be a happy one. Handsome presents have
been purchased. and every person who
is in Wichita Christmas morning viii

sic Has Written Especially for the

Eugene Jay Cone, a lad, twelve years
of age has written piece Of poetry es-
peciaIly for the Eagle It is as follows:
CHRISTMAS EVE.
On Christmas Eve, as 7 crept to bed,
Some queer ideas formed in my head
AS towhether Santa would visit our place
So I laid Ia bed and covered my face;
And cried as though my heart would
break,
AS my only present would be a cake,
And candy perhaps some pieces few
But I hardly thought that would do
I wanted a few nice little toys,
Which Of course pleases the boys.
7 wanted a train "a horse and a fife,
A set Of tools and a knife.
So Of course. 7 felt kinder blue,
If you was a boy you'd feel so too.
But went to bed and slept an hour,
For I heard the clock strike ten in the
tower
Out in the stiffness ofthe night,
with his flowing beard a snowy white,
An old man sat IN a sleigh
Tt was packed fun of toys
Dolls FOR girls and drums for boys.
Old Santa had come to many a house,
And was doing AIS work as stiu as a
mouse
7 heard noise on our root.
