ANITA WILL BE THERE, Also

Through tho unfiagging zeal and un
iring efforts OF the Salvation Arm,
assies this Christmas Day bids fair tC
e one to be remembered for a Ions
ime by hundreds OF little waits and
he elder members of the great frater-
rity OF poverty.
During the few days that the collect
Drs have stood at the street corners
With their signs and kettles. the pub
tic have given pennies and nickles
which aggregate over 5000. and yester-
day Mrs. Wiseman. wife of the ensign
incharge, was busily engaged in the as
sortment Of many little pairs Of strong
new shoes. which she had just pur-
chased for distribution among the little
ones who otherwise would be Obliged
to go barefooted or stay at home.
When asked regarding the prepara-
tions being made for Christmas. Mrs
Wisenan pointed TO two great spread
ing trees which ianked the platform in
the hall. and said that on the even
ing of Christmas day a real Santa Claus
would make his appearance and pluck
from the tree branches mnay gifts and
tokens Of remembrance for the little
ones and their elders. In addition to
this, there viii be a splendid program
Of songs. music. recitations and other
features given by the little folks. FOR
which a rehearsal is TO be held this
evening.
During the afternoon OF Christmas
day there will be a pathetic sight seen
in the hall. for at that time many little
ones will be clothed in warm garments
and stout shoes and sent out in 4 bet
ter condition to withstand the winters
cold and to attend TO their school or
other duties.
At the noon hour there win be a
sunlptuous dinner served to as many as
come to the har, and on the.bill OF fare
will be found turkey. chicken, ana all
manner Of good things
But the Officers in charge do not in
tend to distribute many baskets Of food
this year, unless something remains
after the feast is disposed Of when
what is left win be sent 10 those famil-
les who are known to be In distress.
This determination on the part OF the
officers is brought about by the thought
that a dinner is only for one day. while
on tho other hand. the same amount
Of money placed In warm clothing,
shoes and other wearing apparel Is q
lasting remembrance OF the OCCASION
Mrs. Wiseman stated that so far
about 5000 had been raised, although IL
she had three times that sum she could
use IL to good advantage. She is sim
cerely interested in the welfare OF the
poor, and left a luxurious home in Can
ada and wealthy relatives to devote her
life, without recompense, to the uplift-
ing OF the fallen and the comforted
Of the needy.
None of the Salvationists receive :
penny IN the way OF pay. devoting their
lives to an unselfish effort to relieve
the physical and spiritual distress OF
their fellow beings.
II some Of our wealthy and charitahly
disposed residents would take the time
to visit the han and go over the matter
with Mrs. Wiseman. there is no dc1lbi
that this would be the best Christmas
that the poor OF Wilmington have ever
