Christmas Dinner for the Poor.

Between two hundred fifty and
three hundred poor Mexicans, in
Guiding men, women and children
of all ages. enjoyed good Christ
mas dinner yesterday morning at
St. Joseph's college, as guests of
the ladies of the Catholic church.
The long tables were attractively
set and the menu included an
abundance of viands, which were
we'll prepared and neatly served.
The hearty enjoyment evinced by
partakers of the feast proved that
it was savory and appetizing.
After dinner the juvenile guests
were delighted with large grab
bag, each child being allowed to
draw once. There toys of all kinds
and each little heart was gladden.
ed with some pretty and attractive
gift. Games were INDUCED i'll
afterwards, making It an occasion
log to be remembered by the hap
ply recipients of this Christmas
bounty.
It was a beautiful act of charity
and the kind hearted ladies who
bestowed this pleasure upon the
poor of the city deserve special
commentator. The were ladies ex-
press hemselvesas verymuch sratifi

The Christmas Trees.

There were numerous Christmas
trees in the city. and the hearts OF
the youngsters have beat high with
anticipation as to what old Santa
Claus world have for their special
benefit this trip. None were dis
appointed, and the glow of appre-
citation upon the youthful faces was
calculated to cause the hardest
hearted to look upon the world as
a pleasant place in which to live.
The first of these was joint
affair. on Saturday night, partici-
pated in by the Methodist. Presby-
terrain and Baptist. Sunday schools,
and appropriate exercises.were rem
.dered, and enjoyed by quite a large
audience. The next took place. at
the opera house Sunday afternoon
at 2 O'Clock, by the Catholic Sun
day school, and the building was
crowded to its suttermost. The
tree was beautiful and the occasion
with much gladness to all.
Sunday evening at 7o'clock at
the Church of the Advent large
and eager audience greeting a
beautiful tree, and a special pro-
gram was presented to the delight
of all.
The Mexican Presbyterian Sun
day school had their three in the
Presbyterian church Monday night.
1t was a brilliant spectacle which
greeted the large audience, and the
joy which the happy event brought
forth was good to behold.
A very charming feature of these
Christmas entertainments, was the
desire that all should be remember
ed, and if any one was overlooked
it was unintentional. This happy
event only comes once a year, and
it is very fitting that the children
be given some remembrance of a
day which is universally celebrated
in commemoratioD of an event
which is familiar to all.

mail them, did your" she said
sweetly.
No l didn't. How did you

Because among them was a

Las Ysscas Cuttings.

Las Yescas, Texas. Dec. 23rd.-
! We are having beautiful weather,
and if nothing unforeseen happens
i'll the way of frosts. ETC., the COM
ing year will be a good one for all
the farmers around this district.
Everybody is busily engaged in
preparing their lands for cultiva-
ton, and undoubtedly there will
be lots to do for our planters here.
We hear from a great many peo-
pie who go and come from town,
of the bad muddy roads, and this,
of course, is due to the weather.
There has been some sickness
amongst US, but glad to say every
body is recovering their health.
Two good friends, Don Florencio
Alfaro and Victor Exinia were laid
up with all attack of some fever,
but they are getting along very
nicely.
The marriage of Mrs. Rosa
Villanueva to Quirino Lopez took

sors and Rev. Joseph, o. NJ. L.,
officiating.
Customs Inspectors Starck, Lay
ton and Maltby passed through
here yesterday, returning to town
with several parties who were
caught with 'Mezcal.
In passing we would like to
make a suggestion as to the guber-
tatiorial race in this Stote next
year, and in this connection will
say that the Hon. James B. Wells,
of Brownsville, as long as we live
in South West Texas, is, first,
last and all the time, our choice
for Governor of this Lone Star
State. There is not a single in
dividual in the whole State more
popular than is the Hon. Jas. B.
Wells, nor is there one better
qualified to fill the highest Office
in the State, and we, of this little
hamlet will render all the assistance
possible. to see him elected Gov
ernor of the Great State of Texas
in 1906. Three cheers for the
Hon. James B. Wells, the Sachem
of the Lower Rio Grande.
