The School Team Had Led All Through
the Contest, and Victory
Seemed Certain Up. to
the Last.

In fast and interesting basket ball
game at the Church street gymnasium
Saturday evening, the yulcans defeated

~ to 4 in Goddard's favor and the second
IS TO II. In the last period Spaulding
increased the seminary's lead three
points more on baskets from fouls before

That clerk wasn't what you'd call
a man quick to size, up situation,
but the way he sized this one made US
all sit up and take notice. He came
round, lifted the youngster up and
stood her on the desk, right between
the gas Jet and the big register, and
said:
We'll, you've been looking for the
wrong place and found the right one.
You see, when Santa Claus comes to
a hotel, he doesn't use the fireplace
not he! Just comes right in the
door, walks up here to the big book,
and writes his name. just as mamma
did. Then he looks right up here at
this gas jet, to see If there are any
children in the house. All the chill
dren hang their stockings here, and
it saves Santa a lot Of time, not hav-
Ing to hunt all over the house. Got a
pin? Good work. Here she goes,
pinned tight on where Santa can't
help seeing her. Now, then, little
lady down you come, and good night.
Hurry upstairs! He may be here any
minute"

Period o. Wearing II Is Shortened
and lt 10 Less Conspicuous.
Whether we approve or not, 1t IL
undeniably true that the period OF
mourning 10 being shortened and the
evidences made less conspicuous
than in the years Of the past, says
the Haberdasher. Only rarely now
adays do men wear emblems OF grief
for persons outside OF their immedi-
ate family.
First mourning for a wife covers
year. and for other relatives six
months. During the first period only
black and white effects are perrnis.
Aible. The scheme calls for deep hat

with black stripes, and black suit.
overcoat, waistcoat, half hose, gloves
and shoes.
The second period Of mourning
lasts six months for a wife and three
months for any other relative. In
this time gray Is correct and the
mourning band is not worn on the
hat Black and white effects as well
as gray are allowable.
The brassard or sleeve band is In
exceedingly bad form. 1t originated
in England as an expedient for ser
wants and others who could not az
ford entire change Of outfit.
Attendance at social affairs OF q
ceremonious character Is not expect
ed during the first period Of mourn
ing. II circumstances make 1t nee
essary the only change from custom-
airy usage is in daytime, black gloves
and cravat. instead OF gray, and in
the evening cloth band. not silk, on
the silk hat.
Black tie and waistcoat should not
be substituted in the evening for the
white, nor are black studs and links
or black bordered handkerchief any
longer approved. These things saw
ored Of parading sorrow and have
wisely been abandoned. The prIm-
airy purpose Of black is to prevent
such embarrassment as might arise
from ignorance Of bereavement on
the part OF those met.

I'm going to turn in" AS he passed
the gas over the desk something yell
low slid from his hand, and the toe Of
the little black stocking stretched a
bit. One after another the rest Of
the crowd followed, and, somehow,
with each passing the little black
dangler got heavier and longer. All
the while kept seeing the things my
kid sister used to pull out of her
stocking Christmas morning, so when
I'd put in bit to make the stocking
heavier, got on my coat and went
out to see if there wasn't toy shop
in Denver. Found one all right, and
if you'll believe me, there was Mack,
and Johnson, and Miller, and every
last living one of those fellows that
had turned in back at the hotel-all
sneaking out the back way.
"Beat it," gaid Mack; we've
bought all this stuff the kid wants.
You go get candy, and candy, and
then some more candy, and some
oranges little fellows, mind, to 60

Tell you what, Santa never did a
better job in his whole career than we
did that night. The stocking was
right heavy and dragged round the
toe, but it pumped out above with
oranges and stuff, parcels all stacked

About this time every year wish
had the knack of storytelling. That
is, telling things so other people could
see EN-, too. I'd like some of you to
see that Christmas eve as / remember
it:
Twas a bit over ten years ago a
crowd of us boys had hit Denver with
our heavy sample cases Nasty
weather outside, mighty nasty, and
we sat around the Office of the hotel,
smoking, reading, not talking much,
and all bit grouchy because we were
where no sane man, not even drum
mer, wants to be-away from home
on Christmas eve. The place was
getting blue with smoke and the wind
was banging at the windows, when
somebody's coughing made me sort
of wake up to the fact that I was
reading my paper upside down, and
mostly thinking about Tom Briggs.
Briggs was from our State, too
we were mostly Empire Staters- all
round good, chap, meant to be in the
running to the end. Right sort Of a
wife and dandy kid, but it seemed
like all the hard luck in the country
had been drifting his way, and to cap
it all, consumption-the doctors gave
it some name, but that's what it was
-moored him in the end. We fell
lows always have a feeling that the
best way to sympathize with man
in Briggs run OF luck is to keep your
mouth shut and your wallet open.
SO when the doctor said: Rare at
mosphere, high altitude, Colorado
mountains" and all the rest of the
simple remedies they always pre-
scribe, why, knowing the size Of
Briggs bank account, we never
Thought of it that way Well, Briggs
went to some sort of a cure, place in
the Colorado mountains, and the wife
and kiddie stayed back East. Some
how, couldn't get the three Of them
out of my head, so when Mackenzie
put down his paper, lighted fresh
cigar, and said: "Who knows any
thing about Briggs?" Twas almost
as if I'd spoken myself, and he went
on: Mighty glad Briggs isn't out in
this Internal weather. Where is that
rare place? We might take a run
up tomorrow, cheer Briggs up bit.
How is it, boys?"
Johnson put down his paper, went
over to the window, then came back

Off went the baby and there dan
gled the stocking. Before any of us
had time to speak, the clerk said:
Boys, that's Briggs little girl. Wife
and baby came on to spend Christmas
with him, passed him on the road.
We had to tell her when she got here
this afternoon. Here's the baby's
stocking, you

and holding tight in the other bit

anxious kind of a laugh, not a bit

through the smoke as if we might be
hiding the very thing she was hunt
ing, she said:
I'm just looking for the fireplace.

we've only but just came ourselves,

To the Pure in Heart.

God stood upon the altar-stair,
Unseen of all the throng,
Across the wreathing incensed air
They watched the myriad candles fare,
They heard the holy song;
And low they knelt, and fast they prayed,
Calling on Christ and Mary Maid
"0h, keep us from all i'll, !" they said
Thy servants love make strong"
But all this time God waited there,
Unseen upon the altar-stair.
God stood beside the altar-rail
Unseen of all but one
And she was a. mere thing Of sale;
Her cheeks were stained with tears and
pale;
She knew what she had done.
The gentle folk paused in their prayer
To eye the creature weeping there;
Preserve us, Christ and Mary Fair!"
Thus did their swift words run,
But she so may pure hearts prevail
Had seen God standing by the rail. 3

NOTES FROM SUNSET.

A large force Of men are now
busy working on the school
house. Only Lhe inside remains
TO be finished and in three weeks
the Sunset school will move to
their new abode.
Many OF the Sunset people en-
ioyed the dance at Charles New
ellis last Friday night.
Miss Laura Dawson was pleas
antly surprised last Monday
night by the people of Sunset
thronging in to celebrate her
birthday. The youthful hostess
aided by her mother, father and
brothers entertained the guests
in a delightful manner.
M. Nash has returned home
after a brief absence.
Walter Holder g. Co. have
just finished drilling a 230 foot
well for Mr.. Conrad.
Earl Kun spent several days
in Sunset last week, after which
he returned to Burns to spend

OUR FAIR BILL PASSED.

According to Portland papers
received last night the bill max
ing Harvey county a fair district
passed the last session, vetoed by
the governor, has been passed
over his veto by the present sem
ate and it will undoubtedly pass
the house as similar one has al
ready passed both houses. This
is a fitting recognition of this
section and the small appropria-
tion will assist very materially.
The people of Harvey county
should now take more interest in
the local fair as they can aid in
making it a greater success and
extend its usefulness. Nothing
has better influence or is more
beneficial toward improving the
stock and agriculture than the
annual fair.
