BREED THEATER.
A Trap for Santa Claus, Brilliant Bio.
 graph Feature.

One of the brightest and most fasci- mating pictures seen at the Breed in a long time Is the one secured for the amusement of the children during their holiday recess and shown under the title of Trap for Santa Claus. The leading roles are played by two de- hghtful children from the Biograph cast and to say that they are lively and mischievous expresses it mildly, for the entire picture fairly effervesces with comedy situations that are light ly shadowed by touches of genuine patflos that serve to but make more pronounced the exquisitely dainty work of the juveniles.
 The delightfully."- tender strain of marital happiness is only broken by the cry of the wolf at the door, and the misguided father leaves home be- heving that his family could get along easier without him; later starvation forces him to attempt to rob house which proves to be occupied by his own family, his wife just preparing to don a Santa Claus suit to fill the stockings. He is stricken with remorse but the faithful wife hurries him into the Santa Claus suit instead of herself and the children's clever trap for San ta Claus proves a blessing in more ways than one. The whole bill is a powerful one and includes some of the strongest feature pictures in the mar ket.

THE DAY AFTER.

Dear boy, whose countenance today Relates a tale in it's own way, As life goes by we all must find some pleasures leave sting behind. Your Christmas day. you know, was
 spent In feasting to your topmost bent; You must remember, little mamie, You stuffed In every nook and crannys The mixture was more fond than wise. Of sweetmeats, dainties, turkey pies Repeated helpings, many plates Blanemanges, custards, apples, dates. The ginger root, tho tarts. the ice Each in its way so very nice: The Christmas pudding. chocolatas

 nice Too often costs too high price; But life's serener nobler joy, Is worth its price, my little boy

 for fruit. The small yellow tomato which was easily cultivated, when cooked in sorghum molasseH was a very good relish. The plurns were just as good then as they are now anyway you are pleased to prepare them. The sorghum was easily raised on breaking, requiring no labor but the planting, which was done on newly broken prairie while the team was resting. Take a hatchet or ax; chop through the sod. drop in the seed and step on the opening to cover 1t. That was the last of that crop until time to cut and take it to the mill. The mill owner would grind out the juice and evaporate the syrup for one- half. When the grasshoppers came, we thought they had taken everything, but they did not know what was good; they left the sorghum unmolested. My wife says sorghum is the most satisfying or sweets. as she has never cared to see any since those days."-kansas City Journal.

M. L. Stone of Wamego, in telling the other day of his pioneer life in Wabaunsee county, spoke of some of the things they had to eat in those days from the stores of nature
 Did you ask what we had for fruit?~ he said, reiterating the question directed at him. There was quite an abundance of natural growth plums of several varieties, and grapes. which with the ingenuity of the good house. wife. we prepared in various ways for the table through the year.

SHORE LINE
Practically Ready to Be Electrified
 From Providence to Boston.


 The New Haven road from Provi- fence to Boston is ready for the be- ginning of the actual work of electri- wing that section of the system.
 For many months past the ultimate Identification of the Providence Bos- ton tracks has been contemplated by the officials and work has been going on to make everything ready.
 Now the New Haven road is ready to go forward with the work of chang Ing the motive power from steam to electricity and will so as soon as or ders are given for the work.
 President Mellen is quoted as say ing upon the subject:
 We believe we are warranted in stating that our electrical installation Is a success from the standpoint of handling the business in question efff- cnetly and with reasonable satisfac- ton. and we believe we have arrived Tt the point where we can truthfully gay that the Interruptions in our serv- ce are no greater no more frequent II the present time than was the case when steam was used"
 Those remarks, it is declared. were made in reference to the identification If the main line between Stamford and New York. He is also quoted as say- ng:
 We are prepared to state that lhere is no economy in the substitu- lion of electrical traction for steam, sut, on the contrary, we believe the sxpense is much greater
 Relative to the Boston situation. MT. Hellen has said:
 We believe no mistake will be made by the public in waiting for a while longer for the installation of electric traction upon the railroads in the vicinity of Boston. for by such waiting the vexatious delays and embarrass- ments of experimentation will be avoided and the work and knowledge will have advanced to a stage that will result in better installation in some respects, and for a less outlay than has resulted from the pioneering in this system we have been obliged to Indulge on the west end of our lines."

long the lives of the little ones. All five
children were born prematurely. The

and a half, and the child born dead
weighed only half a pound.

YOUNG PASTOR FOR
OLD FIRST WANTED
Service Last Night Indicated
Patching Up of Differences
Over DR.. Frazer.

The old First Presbyterian Church,
which has been without a pastor since
the disaffection of the Rev. DR.. Frazer
and the church board of trustees, held
a service of song last evening, at
which the Rev. r. t, Graham. of the
Presbyterian Tabernacle, presided.
The church held the largest congre-
CATION since the break ocucrred in the
flock, and the filed pews seemed to in
dicate a patching-up of the fractional
trouble that had threatened to split the
strong membership. DR., Graham made
a short address. which was followed
by an ~old-fashioned hymnal song serv-
ice, accompanied by a full orchestra OF
stringed music.
1t is understood that several emf
nent out-of-town clergymen hav an
eye on the vacant pulpit. which Is the
most desirable one in this city, but the
board of trustees. so it is said, have
decided upon selecting a brilliant
young man of broad-guage and mod
ernized attachments. who will be able
to place the old church in a more pro-
gressive sphere among its brother de-
nominations.
