seem to be hurt. There were no
blood stains on her feathers, no marks
anywhere, but she could neither walk

did not appear frightened, and every.
one knows that nothing living is shy.

the sight, as she sat quietly in the
older boys hand. breathing very fast,
but showing absolutely no fear.
Suddenly our younger boy exclaimed:
"Oh. know what ails her: shss drunk.

Never Trouble Trouble.

Theirs CHERRY little proverb
II is very well to heed.
In world where pain and sorrow
Are quite plentiful indeed.
II you would not have them double.
Then keep this we'll in view.
To never trouble trouble
Till trouble troubles you.
Don't think when storm clouds gather
You are certain TO be drowned;
The very darkest tempest
May quickly blow around.
And up above the blackness
Shines evermore the blue;
So never trouble trouble
Till trouble troubles you.
Often times a gloomy morning
Precedes sunny day:
So, without words of warning.
Our trials slip away.
What pangs we oft have suffered
From ills we never know;
So never trouble trouble
Till trouble troubles you.
Quit counting all the bridges
You may never have to cross,
Quit climbing all the ridges
of future pain and loss.
Trudge on and do your duty,
To God and conscienc; true.
And never II ouble trouble
Till trouble troubles you.

The Christmas season i'm Elk Point
was an especially pleasant one this
year. Santa Claus was present III per-
son, and those who have been tempt
ed to doubt the existance Of the good
old saint had indisputable proof on
Christmas Eve that he is still on hand
at the proper season to give JOY to the
childish heart and bring back the
pleasant remembranceS OF youth to
the older ones.
Three churches were open on Christ
mas Eve, beautiful with the green of
the trees and the vari-co ored Christ
mas decorations, and gay with the ex-
| uberant and expectant crowds OF child
rem. The gaily decorated and Zig hted
trees and the festoons of appropriate:
eolors formed fairy picture, while
the laughing assemblages of merry
makers completed scene that car.
ried many sober older heart back to
the days when Santa Claus was as real
to them as he is now to the little ones
who look forward to his coming with
such eagerneSs from one years end to
| The other. The music and exercises
| at each place were in the hands of the;
children, and nothing happened to-
mar the happiness of the evening, the
elimination OF the event in each case;
of course being the advent OF Santa
ard the distribution OF the presents.
AT THE CHURCHES.
The cantata at the Baptist churcha
Sunday evening was one Of the most
pleasant musical events OF the season,
1t was under the direction OF Miss
May Mill, assisted by Mrs. T.. It. Rust.
and the rendition showed the excel
lence OF the training and the thor
oughness of presentation as only mnsic
] Of such character could exhibit, The
cantata was tuneful. and contained al
number of quartette duet and solo
parts that were much enjoyed. One
selection, rendered by a double quar-.
itette, and solo by Miss Lillian Ellis
deserve special mention. The entire
performance was Of a high grade.
| At the Methodist church there were
recitations and songs by the children
OF the Sunday School Xmas Eve. and
cantata rendered by special choir
Of thirty-siX voices. under the direc-
torship OF Miss May Miller, which was
very nicely given. Following this Old
Santa made his appearance and pro-
ceded to hand out presents to both
| young and old until all were served
| The more solemn note Of the season
was struck at the Catholic and Episco-
pal churches. Three masses were
celebrated at the Catholic church on
Christmas day, the last being high
mass with sermon by Rev. FIR. Red
mond. At the Episcopal church mid
night service, with celebration OF
Holy Communion was held, special
music being furnished by fine or
chestra and choir.
