A HAPPY CHRISTMAS
Churches and Sunday Schools Celebrated
Christmas With Exercises and
CaatataS.
1t Was a Happy Occasion Throughout
the City and Many Little Chill
dren Were Made Joyous.
Donations We're Received at Methodist
Church and We're Distributed to
Help Needy Ones.
WAC DInuJ " nrI DAT
WAS RICHLY CELEBRATED
Churches and Sunday Schools of the
City Held Christmas Exercises
SATURDAY. Evening.

Christmas bells rang out cheerily
Saturday night for the celebration of
the coming Of the glad day of the
year and the various churches in the
city were filled with eager th1ongs Of
both old and young to hear the exer-
cises that had been prepared for the
coming Of Santa Claus. The night
was pleasant enough to warrant the
people turning out in large numbers
and they were we'll repaid, inasmuch
as the programs in all cases were of
a very interesting character, consid-
erable effort having been spent to
make them attractive. Old Santa
Claus was on hand at each church
and his appearance was an added ioy
for the little folks. With them the
good old myth has not lost caste and
he brings the same cheer and
to comfort their hearts as he did a
generation ago.

At the Congregational Church.

Most happy and pleasing were the
Christmas exercises held at the Con-
gregational church, and which we're
attended by a large crowd OF people,
all Of whom entered most heartily
into tie spirit of the occasion. The
program, which was arranged under
the direction Of Superintendent and
Mrs. Hotf, and Mrs. e. l.. Mason,
was made up Of songs, recitations,
and drills, all of which were present.
ed in an attractive manner, the little
folks eXcelling themselves in what
they undertook. The last number
on the program was quite an interes-
ting feature, representing the COM
ing of Santa Claus, in the person of
Jay A. Dundas and the retirement
of two little girls to bed. The scene
was very pretty and with the colored
fire made a beautiful tapleau. A
fine large Christmas tree and an at
tractive fire place gave added inter
est to the scene. A number of pres
ents were distributed during the
closing part Of the evening. The
affair was a fine success and the en-
tertainment was highly enjoyed.

WILL COME IN FEBRUARY
of Young Womens' Chris.
tian Association Will Convene
Here in February.

1t was during the state meet at
4ankton, in 1894 that a few reprcsen-
tatlve young men and women met
and organized a state Young Women's
Christian Association and Young
Mems Christian Association. Up tic
this time, there was a local oragniza-
ton in the Univeritsy of South Da-
koa at Vermlllion in Yankton Col
lege aud in Dakota University with
an organization in Sioux Falls, aux
hilary to the Young Mems Christian
Association. Very little outside
help had been received and secretar-
ial visits we're almost unknown. But
plans were we'll land and determina-
tlon and enthusiasm have done much
to carry then to a successful issue.
Ten years has proven the efficiency
of this organization in school life.
No organization has been more pop
ular, none more helpful. 1t has
been the strongest element i'm char
actrer building. During this time
the organizations membership has
doubled, %Brookings, Huron. Redtield
and Aberdeen having joined the
state association.

courses in Material Science for an
other year. This has been much
needed.
The Commercial Department is to
occupy all the space which has here
toiore been given to the boarding de-
partment. The former dining room
will make a commodious main room,
while the addition of four good sized
rooms which have, up to this time,
been the dwelling CT the matrOn, will
give the Commercial Department
much more and will splendidly
provide for it. Messls. Wingtield
and OfMealey are doing high grade
work. and this necessity for adding
space and new equipment winch they
are putting in. is the best evidence
OF their success.
The societies have fitted up their
halls i'm very good form. The Philo-
Kappa tall was remodeled and inn
proved during the summer and fall
and the Daedalians are at work dur
ing the Christmas vacation putting
theirs in fine condition. 1t is ex-
pected that the last item OF work
Will be completed in Memorial Hall
during the vacation, so that it will
be fully ready for occupancy at the
opening of the term. Toe Annex,
which was supposed to be a compar-
atlvely unimportant part Of this
magnificent structure, is proving to
be one of the finest, most onven
lent, and most presentable parts OF
the building. and adds greatly to its
appearance and usefulness. Mitchell
should be proud OF this great struc.
ture.

which were most excellently lmper-
sonated by the little folks. An en-
tertainment was given in the old
home, which was made resplendept
with the old fashioned fireplace and
decorations Of the years gone by.
There were songs by the boys and
girls Singly and in choruses and the
airs were bright and catchy. Along
toward the close Of the cantata the
coming of Santa Claus was the scene
OF great merriment and be was well
coined by song and laughter. G. L..
Hurd impersonated old st. Nick and
he gave the little folks an interest
ing address. a diminutive tree stood
in one corner of the old home as sort
OF a decoration. But few presents
were given during the evening, that
not being the nature Of the enter
tainment. About $50 bags of pop
corn and candy we're distributed
among the Sunday school children.
The general invitation that had
been extended TO the public to bring
donations for distribution among
those that need it was responded to
in quite a liberal In
cash over S25 was collected, while
there were IL bushels of potatoes and
other vegetables that were left at
the church. a portion OF the money
will be given to Miss Phelps, a mis-
sionary Of Japan, who will take the
money back with her next fall to be
used for the benefit of the Japanese
orphans. Some of --the vegetables
will be sent to Asbury hospital, Min
neapolis, and the Sioux Falls Home
will be remembered. Some of the
needy people of Mitchell were sup
piled with vegetables and some
money.

At the Baptist Church.

a unique entertainment had been
prepared at the Baptist church. A
good limitation Of an old Dutch
wldnmill had been erected that occu-
pied d prominent place on the plat
form. The old miller, who was te-
garded as the Santa Claus, imper-
sonated ty Rev. MIR. Giblett, made
his appearance and tried to start the
mill by blowing on the four long
arms. He found it impossible and
called to his aid ten little fairies,
some Brownies, two soldiers and
Uncle Sam. These little folks with
others gave a program of songs and
recitations and contributed their
efforts to blowing on the arms of the
mill to start the wheels. BY the IN
dividual and united efforts the wheel
started and the mill commenced OPP
erations. From the mill was ground
out the presents, which made their
appearance through a long spout. and
the whole created a great deal Of
merriment. These were distributed
through the audience to the children
and the elder folks. in which Pastor
Giblett and wife were very kindly
remembered by their constituents.
The entertainment was very nicely
arranged and it was enjoyed through
