KING OF THE LAND OF NOD
Successful Entertainment Given al
N. E. Church Last Night.

The Methodist church was filled TO
oyerfowing last night with parents and
friends OF the children who took part In
the fairy spectacle. 1.-THE King of the
Land OF Nod" And the little ones GER
tainly acquitted themselves most fav-
orably, rejecting much credit on their
Instructor. Many Of the costumes worn
were exceptionally handsome and their
beauty was brought out to Its extreme
under the soft light which illuminated
the church
Naturally, as IN such entertainments,
there was an element OF comedy. and
this was greeted with uproarous APP
plause as the six little tots were usher
ed In wheelbarrow into fairyland
dressed In their night gowns. one lit
tie golden haired miss came on de-
murely sucking her thumb, meantime
gravely regarding the audience, The
performance made fun for the babies,
more fun for their elders and netted
nice little sum for the church, so that
altogether everybody was satisfied,
which Is sometimes more than can be
said Of the more pretentious shows
Of big folks.

OF Wheat Ships
Musselcras and pssagus Encounter
Typhoons and Two Of Lat. :
ter's Men Are Lost.

The British ship Musselcrag and

port the first OF the year for South AZ

repeatedly swept by great seas. Two OF
her men were washed overheard and
drowned and three OF her lifeboats

The letter states that one Of the
Musseicrag's men was stanghaied at
this port. II VIII be recalled that the
authorities caused the arrest OF man
named "scotty" Agnew for shang-
hailng man aboard The ship. Agnew
was charged with having irnpersonated
the man, and having forged the name
