Yuletide Greeting to Friends Of East
Arlington, VI.


To be glad for today, not cast down
because OF yesterday nor yet proud;
not waiting for greater opportunities
tomorrow, but given wholly to the
work and the joy Of today: To look
with friendly eye upon Gods out Of
doors; To read the best books, think
the best thoughts, love that which is
true and beautiful; To believe in men,
to seek by kindness to bring them al
ways good cheer; To spend time alone
with God that the peace Of Christ may
guard and the passion Of the world
Saviour inspire: To pray for heaven
in the heart and to live for home In
heaven. Thus may God increase your
Christmas Joy and fulfil the hope of
the New Year.

Pastor Congl Church.

The San Diego show, which embraced
both chickens and cats, has just closed.
This is said to have been held beneath
Waterproofs and series of umbrellas.

city delegation took its share of the
trophies.
At the Chutes park show. which be-
gins Thursday and continues for three
days all kinds, nationalites and con-
ditions of cats known will be exhibited.

MEOW, SPIF-F, At
CHUTES THURSDAY
THREE DAYS OF CAT SHOW
THIS WEEK
Every Kind of Feline, from Back
Fence Maria to Prize Pussies,
Will Compete for Ribbons
and Cups

"Cats, cats everywhere and not a cat
to can" Such will be the lament of the
small boy who manages to penetrate
the sacred precincts of the southern
California Cat clubs annual show at
Chutes park this week, for pussy VIII
be the center of attraction there, and
woe betide the luckless youth whose
heart yearns for little excitement via
the tin can on the cats tail. Jealous
guardians of the Woolly, cawy beasts
will guard their pets from sacrilegiOus
hands, and the cats will shine in all the
splendor of their white, black yellow
and gray fur.
The man who thinks that there is
nothing to the cat family except the
pestiferous brutes who sing funeral
dirges on the back fence when the world
is bathed in slumber-or rather is try
ing to be bathed-has another guess or
two coming.
Long before such "a doubling indi-
Vidual began to cast "a shadow the cnt

the days before Little Egypt Vas

existed real Egypt where the VIII

thing in the four-foutcd line. Indeed,
so imbued with this notion did they Bee
come that they appointed special priests
whose duty ii should be to see that the
cat, like its deVOtecS, should never be
troubled with baths, or tim cans, or uu-
friendly dogs, or anything else that
mars the peaceful tenor OF the present
day cats existence.
Cats Make History
In course of time an alteration arose
between Egypt (the ancient Egypt, not

BRYAN EXPECTED
To HAVE MESSAGE
SPEECH AT BANQUET MAY BE
IMPORTANT
Expectation Is That It viii Be in the
Nature of Keynote for Democratic
Campaign to Be Conducted
Next Year

Although tickets for the banquet to
be rendered Hon. William Jennings
Bryan on the evening of Tuesday jan
uary 30, will not be placed on sale until
today, requests for an opportunity of
securing the coveted pasteboards have
been made to members of the committee
named to conduct the sale of the
tickets.
Anthony Schwamm, one of the mem
bers of the committee, said that he re-
ceived no less than dozen requests by
telephone yesterday that tickets be laid
aside, in order that the would-be pur
chasers could be assured of being able
to attend the event.
Only 500 tickets will be sold, and those
having the affair in charge express the
belief that twice that number of people
will be desirous of attending the BAN
quet, which promises to be the most
successful event of the kind ever held
in Los Angeles.
Hon. John W. Mitchell has been Sc
lected as toastmaster for the banquet,
and among those who are expected to
be present and make brief speeches are
Hon. James Phelan, former mayor Of
San Francisco, and Hon. Theodore A.
Bell, the Democratic standard bearer III
the recent state campaign.
Message to Democrats
The full list of speakers has not been
decided upon, but it is expected that
nearly all the speakers will be local
Democrats.
All the speeches with the exception
of the one which the guest of the even
/ ing will make, will be restricted to five
minutes, and it Is the intention of the
men having charge of the arrangements
to strictly adhere to the rule.
AS the banquet will be given under
the auspices of the Democratic club
and inasmuch as the lecture to be de
| livered by Mr.. Bryan on the evening
preceding the banquet and the public
reception to be given the distinguished
visitor at the chamber of commerce will
have no political significance It is eX-
pected that the great Democratic leader
will avail himself of the opportunity tC
fully discuss Democratic issues in his
address following the dinner
! 1t is expected that Mr.. Bryan's ad-
dress will be a message not only to the
| Democrats of the Pacific coast, but thai
| II really will be i'm the nature of key
note to the national campaign to be
conducted by the Democrats next year
| For this reason not only Democrats
generally, but Republicans as well, will
be anxious to listen to what Mr.. Bryan
viii have to say.

CATARRH GROWING LESS.
DUE TO THE USE OF HYOMEI. CURES

DUE TO THE USE OF HYOMEI. CURES
WITHOUT STOMACH DOSING.
There has been a marked falling
off of sales of catarrh cures in the
local stores the past year. Medi-
cines which were formerly pur-
chased in gross lots are now
seldom called for, and the drug
gist rarely buys more than a doz-
en- at a time.
Hyomei is a notable exception
to this decrease in sales. 1t is, in
fact, largely responsible for the
lessened sales of catarrh medi-
cines, as it has cured so many peo-
pie of catarrhal troubles that nat
urally there is less call for rem
edies for that disease.
There is no disagreeable stom-
ach dosing with Hyomei. 1t is
breathed through a neat pocket
inhaler that comes with every
Hyomei outfit. j. NJ. Taylor gives
his personal guarantee that the
money will be refunded unless
the treatment cures, so that you
run no risk at all in buying this
reliable remedy.
The complete Hyomei outfit
costs but $1.00, extra bottles, if
needed, SOC.

SpINSTER TEA


The Fourteenth was the day of
the Spinster reception and tea at
the Masonic Hall, the Eastern
Star giving the party in honor of
the town spinsters. The spin
sters came, and of course, their
married friends also came to look
on. Now these same spinsters are
satisfied with their lot, else they
would change it, but they seemed
to be interested in the valentine
decorations and favOrs, which
made the tea tables look very fes-
tive. At early candle lighting
time, the candles upon the tables
we're quietly lit and ye careful
hOstesses had them regularly
snuffed so that the light, while a
little strange was very good. Each
table was lighted by about ten
candle power, not metered. The
hostesses were Mesdames Hooker,
Conant, Flanders and BickfOrd,
with Mesdames Spalding, Belcher,
Brigham and Miss Albee as as
sistants. All were beautifully
gowned in ancient finery which
smelled of lavendar and cedar,
but a fine, modern tea was served
to the guests. Everywhere, were
signs of the times in flaming
hearts, cupid's darts, and a Jack
Horner pie over in the corner
greatly tempted the spinsters and
their friends to try their luck.
Spinsters and all greatly enjoyed
the novel affair.
