The city had a quiet Sunday, although
there may have been some selling on
the quiet by the saloons. Certainly there
were but few who will object or find
fault with that sort of a sabbath, but
the saloon keepers can make it still BET

What George said usually carried
weight. and as IT was getting late
they hurried away in separate direc-

sembly rooms.
One 10y one they arrived at the con-
cert. alone and with queer express

Rob settled down To his Latin.

assist in preparing the supper for the
boys. and their part was 10 go after
the candlesticks, which the girls had
offered for the occasion.
Saily's eyes sparkled as she spread
the snowy table cloth and placed the
