Morgan Stock Co.-A Rare up

morgan SSOCA wa N
tunity.
There is about to be presented
TO the Lafayette public an op'
portunity that should by no
means be overlooked. This op-
~portunity is of seeing the classic
high class comedy drama inter
preted by those fully competent
to do so. No one can have any
intelligent grasp of the dramatic
writings of today who does not
see, when the opportunity pre-
sents itself, these classics of
modern times. No zone can claim
to have a knowledge of the mod
ern drama who does not improve
his opportunity. any more than
one can claim to be we'll read
who has not read Thackeray,
Scott and Dickens. The plays
presented by the Morgan Stock
Co. are written by the best expo
nents of the art of play writing.
These plays give such a finished
and perfect Interpretation OF hui
man emotions that they are in
structive, stimulating and inspir.
ing. They are clean plays. beau
tiful plays, clear cut comedy. adj
mirably staged and interpreted
by high class opponents of the
art of acting. The low price at
which they can be enjoyed is no
criterion of their merit. Judg
ment should not be formed on
that basis, but on their great ar
tistic merit, obvious when once
seen. These plays apart from
their literary and dramatic merit,
will enthuse, thrill and amuse the
most callous onlooker, as none of
the cheap nelodrama OF today
can entertain and thrill.
While they are in their way
classics, they deal with basic
emotions of the human heart
they are not above the under
standing or appreciation of the
most simple, and that is a semi
divine attribute of all really great
literature.
Everyone of these plays ought
to be seen by every real lover of
the dramatic art.

Through some unknown cause
last Wednesday night at s O'Clock
a fire started in the Feed Store

At one time it was thought that

flames but fortunately the wind
was in favorable direction. AS

MABEL HOLLAND.

Before l came to Nome We used to live in Tacoma. Papa was here In Alaska all alone, and the only way knew Alaska was that Santa Claus lived there, and the picture books made it look like snow was on the ground all the year around.
 When mamma told me were going to
 Nome where papa lived, l felt so glad because we would be with papa and l might see santa Claus home. But. oh dear Nome isn't any nearer Santas home than Tacoma is, though am sure the good children of this city will get visit from Santa be- fore they will in Tacoma and Seat tie. because he must live nearer to us than to them
 When we see the pretty snow flakes and hear the sleigh bells jingle Christ mas week we ought not to be selfish and think of ourselves only. because there might be some other boys and girls who won't have any Santa Claus OF who have sickness in their houses.
 I think Santa Claus who knows what every boy and girl does Nvill be more pleased if we are not selfish, but try to help any one that needs it. So when Christmas time comes this year, if we all try to make some one happy l am sure we will make ourselves happy and please Santa Claus, who loves us all and I hope every boy and girl in Nome will have a visit from him on Decem- Der 25, 1907.

LILLIAN BEST.

The word. Santa Claus is an English perversion of the Netherlands word "Sinta Klaas," meaning Saint Nicho- las.
 snow house at the north pole. He has long white heard. a jolly red face and fine bright eyes. When he goes out on his long journey he wears q heavy fur coat and cap.
 He is very busy all the year round, making Christmas presents for chill drcn.
 On Christmas Eve he packs up all the presents he has made, jumps into his sleigh. gives a whistle. and away dash the reindeer through the air like a streak of lightning. Most of the children have written previously. men tioning the toys they would like. so he knows what to leave for each.
 Arriving at the first house he draws up his reindeer on the roof, and, car fElnP ms SACK Iull Ol tbSS' SpfS pult'- ly down the chimney. As soon as he arrives in the bedroom he kisses the children. as he is very fond of them, but being a bachelor, has none of his own.
 Then begins the loving task of filling the stockings, which are hanging around the fireplace. It looked as if the baby was going to he cheated, having such tiny stockings, but no: one of mothers was hanging close by, which Santa Claus filled for the little pet. T will pack them all in real tight" says he which he does, for when he has finished, the stockings look such funny shapes.
 Then he gives a nod, up the chimney he goes. and starts off for another house. He keeps on in this way until he has visited nearly every house and distributed all his presents. after which he goes home and enjoys his well-earn- ed rest

The beautiful doll which was offered by MT. c. P. Goggin as a prize to the young lady who has not yet entered her teens and who could write the best essay about Santa Claus has been won by Miss Anna Connolly.
 The honorable judges. who were Mrs. Coply. John T. Reed and C. G. Cowden. had difficult, if delightful, task to choose between the remarkable and clever productions of the precocious litterateurs Some of the remarks made about the venerable old gentleman are so gloriously ingenious and reverent that the Nugget considers perusal of the compositions will be interesting to all For that reason it gives, herewith. some of the best essays sent in.
 The prize will be presented to the successful young lady this evening at o'clock at the store of MT Goggin.

SANTA CLAUS.

That name sounds rather fine around Christmas. doesn't it?
 When I was outside I always lOnged to be near where Santa Claus lived. and I think now am not very far from his home.
 Older people tell me that Santa Claus lives at the north pole, but I don't see how he can because he'd freeze way up there by himself.
 When Christmas comes in Nome it seems more like the Christmas that you read about and the jingle bells at night keep me looking out of the win dow, because I'm expecting to see some night before long a big cutter drive up with that jolly old Santa in it. Oh. won't that be fine?
 Santa Claus has been to Goggin's already. wish he'd hurry and come to my house. I know he doesn't come down the chimneys in Nome because they are too small.
 am going to write a letter to Santa Claus and ask him to bring me vio- lin. because I'd rather have that more than anything.
 I've never seen Santa Claus, but l believe if I'd meet him on the street I would know him. Let me see; he has long. white beard and white hair, and he wears a red suit trimmed with black fur. I'm sure l couldn't mistake him. There are a number of men in Nome with long white t,ards, but they don't wear red sui,.: like Santa Claus.
 I think Santa Claus will meet us at Goggin's and I'll be the first one to see him. because Christmas is not very far away.

WHEN SANTA CROSSED THE
 DIVIDE.

The wind moaned around our cabin, and as I sat listening to it l could not help thinking it was impossible for dear Santa to get to Extra Dry creek that night. I went to the door and looked out The wind had risen higher and the air was full of snow that settled it. No Santa meant no Christmas and yet it was Christmas eve.
 The weather had been clear until the day before Christmas, and as wr an- xiously awaited for the time to come we hoped it would stay clear. But at last the time arrived, and with storm, which, by noon, was a blizzard. We sat at the window watching the hill across the creek until it was only q white wall of snow. and by night the wind had gone down some and we got out doors and looked around. The moon long. dark shadows behind the large snow drifts. When we decided santa was not in sight We went in and hung mp our stockings near the stove so he could have no trouble in finding them, still in doubt that he would dare to cross the hill on stormy night. IL was late when we went to bed. so morning didn't take long in coming.
 When morning came the storm had gone. and my first thought was santa Claus, so I climbed out to find to my surprise that dear Santa Claus had been there and our stockings were all full of toys and presents. It was a great wonder he didn't get lost in the storm. If he had what would the little girls and boys do without him? I think he should he more careful.

 Just then Santa Claus looked around. and I was afraid he would be cross at me for looking at him doing his work. But Santa Claus smiled at me so kind ly and said: Little one, why do you look so frightened? I won't hurt you."

He has all the little girls and boys names to go to, to bring the toys. Little children are glad to get up and see what jolly old Santa Claus brought them. We all love our dear old Santa Claus, with long white whisllers and red suit trimmed with white fur and black rubber boots. Lit the children are sound asleep when San ta Claus comes. He has a jolly time filling stockings and trimming Christ mas trees. It must take him long time to fill them all. He goes down the chimney while the reindeer wait for him. He has big pack of toys left in the sleigh for other little girls and boys that he has to visit that very same night. He goes down the chim- neys and fills the stockings. His suit Is full of soot when he gets through. When he gets up he gets onto his sleigh and goes on his way to see other little girls and boys. He must have nice ride on the sleigh.
 This is all I can write about Santa Claus.
