Miss Laffan-Hanly, the very pretty
daughter of the host and hostess, play
ed Christmas carols on the piano, but
nobody listened, and it was relief
when dinner was announced. 1t was
understood that this dinner was to be
representative of the Christmas in Eng
land, and so there was roast of beef
of astonishing proportions following an
enormous boiled fish on IL wooden tray.
Two monstroIs turkeys and a chicken
pie filled the table. with the vegetables
and small things. such as pickles,
olives, etc. Everything was put on to-
gether save the dessert. Wines there
We're and pure water for the Turks and
Persans.
At last everybody was seated The
service was well done by three men
from the big hotel. The Greeks and
Armenians had come to dinner and
they did full justice to it, The rest of
the guests We're more circumspect or
had smaller appettes. The amount Of
bread they consumed was astounding.
The Persian ambassador was the
guest of honor with Hadji Rassim
Effendi opposite. The hadji was an
orthodox Turk of the old school. Fuad
Pasha was the same, but he was in
some ways not so strict in his observ-
ances, so he took n little wine. AS the
first hunger passed, the wine began to
loosen tongues, and one would have
imagined oneself in new Babel. Jests
and couplets were made and toasts
passed back and forth in all the thir-
teen languages spoken.
The dinner lasted nearly three hours
The dessert consisted of a great plum
pudding covered with blazing rum and
several fine mince pies. The Turks
seemed TO have an instructive fear of a
pudding blazing with Satanic blue
lights and took mince pie or fruits.
AS so much of Turkish cookery is
based on minced meats the Turks
thought the mince pies were safe. The
Greeks and Armenians managed both
pie and fruits and ate with good
coming appetite everything offered
them. Then came coffee and cigars,
and the ladies went back upstairs.
Mr.. Laffan-Hanly had his cue to
bring the gentlemen all up as soon as
he could, so that they might have some
Christmas games They had become a
little more sociable among themselves.
but as soon as they were back among
the women the different elements sep
arated again into their component
parts, and it was desperate work to get
them interested in snapdragon. The
Turks seemed to fear the flames of al
cohol and would not even try TO pull
out the plums.
Finally one of the Greeks sang one
of the native seesaw caterwauling
songs, and after that the games were
given up in favor Of an impromptu
dance. The Persian and the Turks
looked on gravely while the rest danced
They maintained their impossible grav-
ity until Hadji Rassim Effendi signi-
fled that he wanted to go home. He
was ILL., He had, secure in his belief
of the innocence of the pie eaten three
big pieces. And the crust was short
ened with the fat of the "unutterable
fieshr'

NOT DECIDED
Lumber Offices May and May
Not Be Removed to
Bemidji.

The Crookston Times has the
following to say on the proposed
removal of the general offices OF
the Crookston Lum Der company
from Crookston to Bemidji
Manager Richards of the
Crookston Lumber. company.
when interviewed by a Times
man yesterday stated that there
was a probability Of the removal
of the general offices to Bemidji,
but that nothing definite had as
yet been decided on. The change,
if made, would be for business
and in order to have the Offices as
near the timber supply as pos
sible. The removal has been
consideration some time by the
officials of the company, and upon
his next visit to this city Presi-
dent Shevlin will decide the mat
ter. The removal of the offices
would mean a considerable loss
to Crookston as several familles
who now live here would move to
Bemidji. It is to be hoped that
President Shevlin will find it to
the best interests Of the com
pany to leave the offices here.
There ere advantages both for
and against the removal, and a
meeting Of the Commercial Union
will be called toconsider the mat
ter and plan some way Of keep
ing the management Of the
Crookston Lumber company in
this city"

Skin, Scalp and Blood
Rumours
Speedily Cured by CuiIeura
Soap, Ointment and Pills
When the Best Physicians and
All Else Fail.

The agonizing itching and burning
of the skin, rs in eczema; the frightful
scaling, as in psoriasis; the loss of hair
and crusting of the scalp, as in SCALED
head; the facial disfigurements, as in
pimples and ringworm; the awful suf-
fering of infants, and anxiety of Worm
out parents, as in milk crust, letter and
salt rheum, all demand a remedy of
almost superhuman virtues to success
fully cope with them. That Cuticura
Soap, Ointment and Pills are such
stands proven beyond all doubt. No
statement is made regarding them that
Is not justified by the strongest evil
dence. The purity and sweetness, the
power to afford immediate relief, the
certainty of speedy and permanent
cure, the absolute safety and great
economy have made them the standard
skin cures, blood purifiers and humour
remedies of the civilized world.
Battle the affected parts with hot
water and Cuticura Soap, to cleanse tho
surface of crusts and scales, and soften
the thicllened cuticle. Dry, without
hard rubbing, and apply Cuticura ONT
ment freely, to allay itching, irritation
and inflammation, and soothc and heal,
and, lastly, take the Cuticura Resolvent
Pills, to cool and cleanse the blood.
This complete treatment, costing but
one dollar, affords instant relief, per-
mits rest and sleep iii the severest
forms of eczema and other itching,
burning and scaly humours of the skin,
scalp and blood, and points to a speedy,
permanent and economical cure when
all other remedies aud the best physi-
Clans fail.
