and were compelled TO sing an encore.
Miss Nellie Hanna recited Experience
with a Refractory Cow" and ''rhe Lady

plause that she had to give several extra
numbers. The ladies' Seml-Chorus were
in fine voice IN their reneering Of Speed
wv" by Emerson and were encored.
! L/incnman William +. White proved a
favorite with his harmonica solos and
when by special request he rendered ma
tional airs the large audience joined in
singing and at the close there was great
applause.
The audience demanded encore after en-
core from the male quartette composed OF
the REV. George c. Williams, William p,
White, John A. Booker ara the Rev John
NJ. Arters. who sang Bull Frog on tho
Bank" by Gaines. until the quartette ap-
parently ran out OF verses After the con-

What Does the Red Cross Christmas
Stamp Mean!

1t means that you are asked to
spend one cent more on every Christ
mas present that you send. 1t
means that this tiny fraction of
money, multiplied by thousands, will
yield noble sum for the m ainten-
ance of great work-open-air Day
Camps for the cure of tuberculosis.
1t means that by using the stamp
you express confidence in the work
of the Red Cross. 1t means that
you extend the circle of your friend
ship until it embraces the friendless,
and that your goodwill reaches be-
yond the few whom you, love to the
many whom you are hidden to love.
1t means that the spirit of Christ.
mas stirs in the heart of Christen-
dom, and that you respond to this
spirit by linking your Christmas
gifts with the cause of the poor and
the i'll, with the work of mercy.
