WINTERY CHRISTMAS.

A real wintry northern style OF
Christmas is something unusual in
Douglas, but II was seen by all who
attended the entertainment in the Y.
NJ c. A. on that evening, when some
of the members on the programs at
the various churches the nignt before
were repeated and delightful evening
spent
Assistant Secretary lie Noir proved
an excellent Jack Frost artist He
fixed up the windows of the big read
ing room where the entertainment was
held 30 that to everyone entering the
room and looking around it seemed
that & real Dakota blizzard was raging
outside. Every one could feel chin
and ii was not hard to imagine the
sound of sleigh bells in the street out
side. The windows were the principal
and nose unique feature of the scheme
Of decoration. The great panes were
spotted with white bits of cotton which
looked for all the world like big flakes
Of snow, and the lower sashes were
piled high with white, where the snow
had caught and drifted
The great red brick open fireplace
with well filed stockings hanging from
the mantale above, gave most Christ
mas live aspect TO the room, and over
the mantle back of the platform where
the speakers and those who took part
in the program stood, was a long ban
ner bearing the inscription merry
Christmas" The ceiling and pillars
Of the room were beautifully decorated
with strands of red and green crepe
paper. Red Christmas bells hung
from the ceiling where the long strands
of colored paper were caught up, and
the whnia room presented most ar
tistic appearance. II was an ideal set
ting for the Christmas entertainment,
and almost as much of the enjoyment
came from the art of the decorator as
from the splendid talent of the young
people who took part in the program.
After the entertainment in the read
ing room, Secretary Eastman announc-
ed that two games of basket ball in
the gymnasium we're the next attrac-
ton and there the audience made its
way. The ladies occupied seats in the
balcony while the men watched the
game from rows Of chairs along the
wall.
The first was a ten-minute game be
tween two teams from the junior class
and the smaller boys of this team put
up splendid exhibition. A game be
tween smelter team and the associa-
ton team which followed. resulted in
victory for the city team by score
of % to 6, and was watched with a
great deal of interest-Douglas Dis

ESCAPED AFFLIcTIoN.

The Arizona Republican thus tells
of the awarding of the county print,
ing contract in Phoenix by the board
OF supervisors:
THE board Of supervisors Saturday
awarded the county contracts for the
coming year. AS usual the chief con
troversy occurred over the printing
contract, for which there were two
bidders, the Democrat and the Satur-
day Review. The latter was hardly
a qualified bidder. being only a weekly
paper, but it was stated that IL the
contract were awarded to 1t. IL would
qualify by becoming a twice-a-week
paper. That was the most alarming
proposition that could have been made
to the board, which evidently believed
that once a week was enough. The
probability of the Review becoming
semi-weekly settled It, and the board
fastened to award the contract to the
Democrat. It may seem paradoxical
but If the Review had submitted a
proposition to become a monthly,
quarterly, a semi-annual an annual,
or a not-at-all, the board might have
been induced to give it the contract.
It may be added, however, that the
board took into consideration among
other things, the respective circula-
ton Of the bidding papers, and rea-
soned that public advertising, like all
other advertising. should be given the
greatest possible publicity, and award
ed the contract the same as a bust
ness man would award his"

October is famed for its yellow.
Its russell and crimson and red
Its atmosphere. hazy ana mellow,

And makes you grow lazy and laggard
And puts Off your troubles a day.
While sorrow, all wrinkled and haggard,
Is kept by the season at bay.
A famous old month is October,
With soft hazy days and crisp nights
When nothing that's saddening or sober
Breaks in to dispeu our delights.
The ghost of the summer departed.
The garnsring time of the year
When we, half subdued. but glad hearted
Forget that the winter is near.
