Christmas celebration began with the
Sunday services. The pastor preached
Christmas sermon and the quar-.
tette choir rendered appropriate music.
The congregation seemed to be very
much pleased with Miss Writings

their regular soloist. She gave in a
very effective way the soprano solo
entitled The Perfect Life" At the
evening service Geo. H. Beasley and
Arthur Froembling each sang tenor
solos with fine effect. The pastor
preached On Giving and Receiving"
On Monday evening the Presby-
terian Sunday school gave their enter
tainment to house full of delighted
little ones and their friends. The
main part of the entertainment con-
sisted Of playette entitled "Is There
SAINT CLAUSE" the answer to which
seemed 10 be both yes and no. The
playette had peculiar interest and
merit as being entirely original with
Mr.. and Mrs. Albert Pfaus. The cast
of characters included Mr. and Mrs.
Pfaus, Mrs. George Wiedeman, Mr..
Wyllis Hedges, Prof Crane and Miss
Jennie Fulton. The usual presents
were given to the children. During the
piayette a very pleasing effect was
produced by the Presbyterian choir

scenes at appropriate intervals some
Christmas songs.

Lewistowns Christmas was a
merry one. and was enjoyed by all
the people, everyone entering into the
spirit of the occasion. Christmas
cheer was in evidence everywhere,
and there were innumerable family
and social gatherings in the after
noon and evening. The general pros
perity prevailing everywhere through
out the country was shown here by
the enormous holiday trade done by
the Lewistown merchants, and those
who did not receive remembrances
from friend or relative were few in
deed. At the postoffice all records
were broken. For several days be-
fore Christmas the outgoing mails
were loaded with packages, and this
rush was no sooner over than the in
coming mails brought their loads Of
Christmas greetings. ON Monday af
ternOon, the office force was com
pletely swamped with the mountain of
packages received, but Postmaster
Pfaus and his assistants made an
extra effort and by working overtime
succeeded in getting through most of
it. This was repeated Christmas day,
and it was then supposed that the
rush was over, but Wednesdays mail
was just as heavy as ever, owing 70
delays east
The Christmas season calls for spec
ial services and exercises at the
churches and these were all of un-
