Santa Claus and all th5 fairy-like adiuncLs suggested by the traditions of the season, The children of the Catho- lc Sunday school were entertained Christmas Day and all received little reminders of the day. At midnight, Christmas Eve, midnight mass was said at St. SavioHr's and St. Marks churches.

The spectacular effects and the programs were excellent
 Never before did the Arctic brothers give more than they did last night The hall was beautifully decorated and the tree well laden with the things that make children wish Christmas came Ottener than once a year. J. J. DslY, Arctic chief of the lodge, was master of ceremonies. Judge Wilcoxen made a short and interesting speech to the children and had everbody In good humor when Santa Claus came through one of the high windows in the back of the hall, made short and hSrpy speech and left soon after depOsiting his great load of good things. A committee of the Arctic brothers then distributed the presents to those in,.the hall. c. B. Haraden was chairman of the Christ mas committee.

Scene of Battalion Leaving Toxic for
the Front-Military Precision
from the First.

This is picture of battalion leav-
ing Toxic in the Chinese war at the
railway station: Suddenly the public
are instructed to wait little and the
turnstiles are locked. At last the great
iron gates at the end of the platform
are opened and the head of the battal-
ion appears. 1t marches straight on till
the leading company arrives at the
front carriage.
The battalion is halted, turns toward
the train; in moment the train is
packed as full as it can hold. The
guard whistles, the train moves off.
There are no friends on the platform
no women-no band playing THE Girl
/ Left Behind Me- "All is quiet, all
is great" everything betokens order
and quiet determination Now the
train has gone, the great gates are
shut, the turnstiles are opened, the next
ordinary passengers train is ready to
depart ION time" This is as far as I
can remember the exact description of
a Japanese battalion leaving for the
front in the Chinese war, Who can re-
sist such a nation as this?

ker will resign as chief judge Of the
court Of appeals either coincidentally
with the delivery Of his letter Of nc

there is nothing in the letter Of the

The judge has also been thinking Of
what part he will take in the campaign.
and he has about decided that he viii
not make the traditional swing around
the circle He may visit few of the
principal cities of the country, but as
he feels now will not arrange a formal
tour. His personal preference is said
TO be TO remain az his house at Rose
mont during the greater part of the
campaign and there receive visiting
delegations as did Mckinney at Canton
during his candidacy. This programme.
however, has not been definitely adopt
ed and may be changed when the Judge
consults with the national committee
