from the ordinary of previous years,
except that it has been warmer and
drier. Even up to the present time
the temperature is far above the nor
NAL in all parts of the country, and
unless the next two months of the new
year bring on a decidedly cooler
change the winter of 1902 and 1908 will
go down as one of the mildest ever
experienced suoir,7 srs

SANTA CLAUS in CHURCH.
The Old Fellows Visit to First Pres
byter ian Boys and Girls.

The children of the First Presby-
terrain Sunday-school had a visit from
Santa Claus last night, the occasion
being the Christmas tree celebration of
the school. The exercises We're held in
the church. which was we'll filed with
the scholars and friends of the school.
The pulpit had been prettily decorat-
ed for the occasion, a bank of palms,
ferns and holly almost hiding il. On
either side was a stately Christmas
tree, ladened with lights and shining
trappings, while an arch of bamboo eX-
tended almost across the chancel. In
front sat the members of the primary
department, each holding a tiny Amer
lean flag.
The most enjoyable part of the pro-
gramme was reserved for the last.
When the ginglc of Santas bells was
heard in the gallery, the little ones
were beside themselves with excite
Tnent and anticipation. Many gave vent
to their feelings with screams of joy
AS he entered the door below they
waved their flags and screamed with
delight.
The good saint of Christmas was ad-
mirably impersonated by Mr.. w. ].
Lindsay, who amused and pleased, the
children to such an extent that one of
them, in high glee, screamed out, "Oh.
Santa Claus, you are too funny for
anything" 1t was soon evident that his
deception was complete for all of the
children began at one time to thank
him for the pretty presents which he
had sent them and to make their re-
QUESTIONS. He was besieged by the lit
tie ones. many of whom were not con-
tent until they had been taken in his
arms and kissed. Fathers and mothers
sat by without a demur, as he made to
the various little ones most eXtraVa-
CANT promises of future presentations,
of which the parents will doubtless be
many times reminded before the hol-
days come again.
Santa Claus distributed candy and
fruit among the members of the
school. being kept busy the while an
swering a multitude of questions, the
children following at his heels as he
moved about. When he had finished
this pleasant task, he presented to
the superintendent and sexton remem-
brances from the Sunday School.
The e-Acises of the school were
most enjoyable, and their excellence
reflected credit upon those who have
had the training of the children in
charge. The programme follows:
March song, "a Christmas We'll
come"
PrayE by the pastor.
A Welcome by Helen Mannang.
Song by the Primary Department.
Song, II Say Unto You. Rejoice"

This was the decision made by the
Athletic Club officials yesterday, and

the date of the contest will be changed

and he readily consented to the earlier
date. Corcoran could not be found.

he will also agree TO the same.
This bout will be a good one, as both
men have two victories to their credit.
Corcoran is now below weight several
pounds, but says that he gains flesh
in training, and will be around the
limit of las pounds on the afternoon
at weighing time.

Do Men Understand Women?

A man can very seldom tell what
is passing in woman's mind. He
talks with smother man and ne can
follow his processes; he gets his point
of view; he can read between the
lines; be can make shrewd guess
as to how be came to say that, or wig
he refrained from saying the other.
But woman's mental processes sre
not those Of a man. Her mental
machinery is geered differently. You
hear what she tells you. You can
make differences from it; they will be
wrong, besuse you do not know how
she came to say what she did; you
do not have the clew. Try to guess
what she will say next and you will
find you are all at sea.
The man who says that he under
stands woman is himself woman
he may love her. There may exist
between his soul ALL her that inde-
Enable and celestial sympathy which
is the sweetest thing on earth; but
be does not understand her.
Her mental operation, her ways Of
thought, her point of view will al.
