LOCAL COLOR TOO STRONG
Sunday School Girl Works Local Ho-
tel Into the Story Of
Bethlehem.

Seneca, Nemeh county, Kan, i. a thriv-
ing town of almost 1900. Travellers
thereto, says the Philadelphia Press, put up
at the Clifford house, which is real brick
hotel and Is regarded by the permanent
population as the latest thing in the hos
terry line In the northeastern part of tae
state. To the children of the town it Is
known as The HOTEL
So it was that when faithful Sunday
school teacher endeavored to fix on the
minds Of her small pupils the story of
the birth of Christ she described how Mary
and Joseph had come into Bethlehem on the
eve OF the first Christmas and found the
Inn full of guests. To make it realistic she
used the smile of the town of Seneca and
explained how it was just as though the
weary. travellers had come in from the sur
rounding country at evening.
loo well she drew the picture, for one
young miss was SO impressed with the
local color that when the Christmas festi-
val came and the superintendent of the
school asked for the tale of Bethlehem this
young lady started out in this fashion:
Mary and Joseph came to Bethlehem,
but the Clifford house was full
She got no farther, however, for the
walls of the church rang with the laugh
ter of the audience, which realized that
here was local color with vengeance.

The natural reluctance which every

Twelve of this city's most ambi-
tious and enterurising young men

allure Mardi Gras, entitled "Fairy-
land,' in the near future. All mat
ters had been arranged previous to

place of holding the Mardi Gras. The
and it was determined to try and
secure the same. Rev. H. Fl. Hadley
was consulted and expressed willing
ness to not only let them have the
grounds but also the parish house.
The date for giving the affair was not
determined. It will not be given for
any church, nor is it under the au-
spices of any church organization. If
the venture is successful and there re-
main any funds over and above ex-
penses it will be dispensed to charity
Following is an outline of what the
Mardi Gras will consist of:
In one of the rooms Of the parish
house a stage will be constructed. In
this room musical programs will he
rendered by the best talent in the
city.
In another room ice cream will be
served, with tables for one, two, three
and four persons.
On the grounds, which will be ella
borately decorated there will be spe-
cial features among which will be
1.-THE Storming of Port Arthur and
"The Presidential Election The
two features above named will be sur
rounded in the deepest mystery.
Another feature that will be unique
will be a lemonade Well 1t will be
made of brick and will look just like
an old-fashioned we'll. There will also
he a voting booth in which votes will
be east at one penny per vote for
the most beautiful young lady in the
city.
A touring car will be on the
grounds and for FIVE cents a round
trip Richmond will be seen by moon
light. This will give persons an OPP
portunity to take an auto ride.
Fuller details will be given later
