personalities dllU uuleI-
! ness OF Xmas day passed away,
."but, oh the morning after"
From the wild northwest there
/ broke forth a blizzard. Such a
bowling, whistling and raging
OF elements as there was. But
never daunted the social queen
held sway in her covert.
Mrs. Hills and Miss Fens.er
were at home to the children of
the Treble Clef and their
friends. Chaperoned as chill
dren should be, we'll protected
from the cold, and each carry
ing a happy surprise for some
unknowing guest, they trod on
ward to the gathering place.
Here they found an abundance
of mirth and pleasure. The
rooms were beautifully decora-
ted with holly and the Clef
colors.
The program for the evening
consisted of the works and lives
of Maszkouski and List.

All were pleased to have Miss
Finley of Chicago with us
again. Although suffering from
a severe cold she sang very
sweetly song by Carrie Jacobs
Bond, entitled "Just A-Wearing
For You"
After the program all adj
journed to the sitting room
where they were served an ele-
giant two course supper by Mrs.
Hills and the Misses Fensler.
Curiosity was playing havoc
among the guests, when to re-
lieve the strain the hostess drew
aside the curtains and revealed
to the anxious children a beau
tiful Xmas tree with it's magic
fruits. How the faces lighted
up, how the eyes sparkled, and
now happy all were. From the
time that Alexander Hamilton
Chauncy Sniff received his doll
to the browning of Mrs. Sims as
queen of May there was a series
of surprises. Spinning wheels,
whistles, tinware, jack-in-the-
box, cans and balls kept every
one busy. Santa Claus had sent
his representative to distribute
his gifts, SO Shakespear, Brown
ing and Ella Wheeler Wilcox
did the same. We were sorry
that Thomas and Herbert could
not be present to direct the
orchestra, but through the kind
ness of Mr.. Shaffer and "Mrs.
Katzingjamer' we were enabled
to hear the sweet discourse of
music from the Happy Quar-
tette, Leon, Richard, Miriam
and frankie. This proved too
much for the children, who beg
ged to be taken home. Thus
was spent one of the most en-
joyable evenings with the mem
bers of the Treble Clef.

will answer all purposes.

is not as many cattle being fed
in the vicinity of Logan as
usual. A gentleman who with
others have been investigating
the matter says, that $4,000
bushels of corn will finish up
in good shape all the stock in
the feed yards of what might
be called Logan territory. If
this be true there will be con-
siderable amount of corn for
export from this neighborhood.
There are two causes that
should operate to maintain the
price of corn. One is the short
age in the wheat supply; the
other an increased foreign
demand. These will have a
tendency to keep the price of
corn up in our opinion, but
each one should Judge for him
self. Perhaps corn may enter
more largely in the food supply
of the American people, owing
to the high price of flour. If it
should it will be an important
factor in maintaining the price.
