CHRISTMAS SERVICES. The
Christmas services of the Presbyterian
church and Sunday school were held
last evening, owing to the fact that
Christmas came on Sunday. There
was a fine programme of songs and
recitations, followed by the distribu-
ton of Christmas favors. There was
Christmas tree, of course. beautifully
illuminated by means of little mean
descent lamps and gorgeously triri-
med. 1t was heavily -burlened with
presents which We're given to
happy recipients Immediately after .he
appearance of the ever welcome Santa
Claus Beside the tree a big chimney
and fireplace had been constructed in
a corner, of boxes of candy in imita-
ton of bricks, and, in due course this
structure was demolished to its very
foundations.
A JEU DE MOT-When one gets to
playing upon words, or using figures
of speech or rhetoric or any sort of il
luslration to convey a plain statement
he had better be careful. For instance
last night Phoenix paper intending
20 be complimentary to an enterpris-
ing Phot nix firm perpetrated the fol-
lowing: "As the felloes go round the
hdb SO the fellows go round the Hub of
which p. A. Tharaldson is the proprietor
wien desiring to make purchases in
the line of mems furnishings, clothing
shoes, etc" Why it may be asked
should the fellows persist in going
round the Hub which has an excellent
reputation in this community for the
excellence of its wares. The fellows
ought at least go into the Hub and then
if they do not find what they want
they can go on. This circumnaviga-
ton Of the Hub does not seem To argue
that the fellows are pursuing a wise
business policy in going around It,
There might be something inside worth
looking at.
