O'Clock on Wednesday morning, De-
cember 30; aged 46 years. He was
taken seriously i'll last August, and
some time afterwards went to Mtlwau-
kee for surgical treatment. He re-
turned here on Monday, November l6,
but it was evident to relatives and
friends that he could not long sur
vive. He was born in the city of
Mineral Point, and lived here all his
lifetime. He was united in marriage
to Miss Lavina James, who with two
daughters and two sons survive to
mourn the loss Of worthy husband
and father. He began work for the
Zinc company when the works were
established here, and remained in its

A Christmas Gift.

The patrons of rural mail route
No. >, out of this city, showed their
appreciation of the efficient carrier,
Mrs. Mamie E. Davis, in a generous
and substantial manner. The first
mail box Mrs. Davis reached on her
trip Christmas eve contained letter
addressed: "A Merry Xmas to Mrs.
Davis. Do not open until tomorrow"
The next box similar one, and so
on until 80 envelopes were thus re-
ceived, each bearing the same
message. At A. n. Johnston's box
was a fine turkey, while Mrs. Henry
SINNERS held a gallon of delicious
minco meat. Christmas day the
mystery was solved by opening the
letters, which were found to contain
jointly 1926. This more forcibly
than words expresses appreciation
of services well rendered, and the
happy recipient, she assures the Tri-
bune, is altogether too full Of graft
tude for anything like a fitting eX.
preston of thanks.
With today Mrs. Davis completes
her first year as carrier, her substi,
tute serving but one day. She in.
forms us that the patrons along the
route, including the peple of VALID
wick, have been exceptionally con-
side1ate of her welfare in case OF
storms, etc, convincing her that it is
human nature to be kind.-Tribune

st. paul's Church.

The religious feast Of Christmas,
the anniversary of the birthday of
Christ, was observed with the GUS
tomary solemuity OF the Cath die
ceremonial at st. Paul's church in
this city.
The interior Of the church was APP
propriately decorated. The sanctu-
airy, altar and tabernacle were
especially attractive; the numerous
lights, flowers, wreaths of holly and
generous profusion Of overgreens
presenting an ideal Christmas scene.
The services were very impressive.
At the curly mass II large number
received Holy Communion. At l0:l5
u. IN. solemn high mass was sung,
IL being tho principal service of the
day. Tho church was completely
filled with earnest worshippers, as
sombled to offer the prayers of graft
tude during the holy sacrifice. The
musical part of tho services, under
the charge of Miss Kate Gorgen, was
most effective, and demonstrated not
only the capability Of the organist
and members of the choir, but also
their care In preparations. Professor
Anderson pre- sided at the organ with
his we'll known grace and efficiency
All the various numbers were we'll
aud pleasingly rendered. The mass
chosen for the occasion was from
Rosewig - the entire choir taking
part. 1t was sung in such accord and
with such accuracy as to justify the
very ilattering and favorable COM
ments expressed by those who had
heard It. The "Gloria In ENcelsis'
aud the "Credo,n also the "Sanctus, y
were very fine. Mr.. Francis Cody,
In his solo, the "Choir Invisible, =
made deep impression on those
present, so softly and sweetly, and
with such expression was 1t given, in
we'll modulated tones, Miss Mary
shaw, in her natural, customary and

artistic style, played two exquisite
solos on the violin, viz: "Cavatina,"
by Carl BONN, and Flower Song,"I
by LANCE, which were highly APP
preciatcd.
After reading the gospel of the
day, Father O'Keefe preached an ap
propriate sermon from the text:
"Glory to God on High, and Peace
on Earth to Men OF Good Will" He
said in part: The birth of Christ was
the dawn of peace to men on earth.
Man was at war with God. Man was
at war with man. Through Christ
peace was brought, and the means
by which it might be preserved, did
men wish it. That in nation, society
family or individual, though sur
rounded or In possession Of health
wealth, power, or all those things
the world considers the essentials of
happiness, there could be no happi-
ness without peace. Peace was the
quietude of the soul-contentment
And Christ made this possible
through his mission on earth. What
man requires to obtain that peace is
to follow the teachings of Christ
with the charity OF Christ; to live
among his fellow-men; to rejoice
with them when they rejoice; to
weep with them when they mourn;
to aid in bearing each others burden.
At the completion of the mass, the
congregation dispersed, in christian
mood, to wish each other u merry
Christmas.

TIE NJ. l.. CHURCH.
Rcmodeled Auditorium and New
Pipe Organ.

Services at the Methodist Episco-
pal Church last Sunday were doubly
interesting from the fact that the
congregation for the first time occu-
pied the remodeled auditorium of
the church with the beautiful new pipe
organ, which has just been placed
therein. 1t was the first quarterly
meeting Of the year. The pastor, Rev.
w. w. Hurd, preached an appropri-
ate discourse in the morning, after
which the sacrament of the Lords
Supper was administered In the
evening Rev. George Merrifield, for
mer pastor, and now pesiding elder
of this district, preached an eloquent
sermon, and was listened to by n
large audience who were glad to greet
him. The musical program through
out the day was very interesting, the
regular choir being reinforced by the
young ladies evening choir through
out the day, making u good chorus of
some thirty voices. Mrs Charles
Hendra, in the absence of the regular
organst, Miss Grace Chandler pre-
sided at the pipe organ, and SO well
did she perform that duty that only
words of high commentator were
heard on every hand. The organ is
all that the committee claimed for it,
and no doubt will prove n welcome
addition to the Church.
The Christmas tree exercises at the
church on Christmas eve, for the Sun
day school, were Interesting and
brought Joy to children, parents and
teachers,

The opening service was on Christ
mas eve, when the Sunday school and
friends assembled in the church for
the religious exercises and the sing
Ing Of carols. The distribution Of
gifts, from large tree, electric light
ed, took place at the city hall. The
distribution, however, was preceded
by rccitatons and songs and u
Christmas cantata by the Sunday
school.
There was n large attendance on
Christmas day. There were two cele-
bratious Of the Holy Communion at
s n. IN. and II u. IN. At the later SER
vice the vested choir, to the number
Of thlrty-one were out, and the Rector
preached upon "The Song of Christ
mas which, he said was, III the air:
the day itself brought its bcnediction;
and showed how that It's spirit, por-
trayed by Dickens, in his Christmas
carol so changes Scrooge, the miser,
that his gold on that morning shone
In charity. This, the speaker said,
came because Christ had SO touched
hearts through the Divine as well as
through the human.
The choir was at its best, and the
Anthem and the Offertory, as rendered
by the quartet, was much admired.
In spite Of the bad weather attend
ance Mt all tho services was good.
The church looked bright and attract

ratIons, The offerings for the aged
clergy were large.
