Joe listened with his great black
eyes wide open
rs that alp he asked when the
story was finished. Tell me another"
but, Joe. this is real, true story"
Joe looked slxeptical, Its nice
story he said, but don't believe
it."
Miss Merton had cared for children
long enough to realize that the mind
OF an unframed child cannot be reach
ed by abstract reasoning. He under
stands by tangible demonstrations.
So she told Joe Of the Christmas fes
tival and Of the gifts that would come
to him on the birthday OF the Saviour.
She taught him prayer which, II he
said II every night, would make him
good boy.
Sometimes he confused his prayer
with the 5ingles she taught him and
sal1 the rhyme of Little Bopeep"
Ind, I'd pf Vow lay me-"
l-2tAiM asN5yA came IN the evening TO
hear his prayer, and DIR. Knight would
come and listen. But his lady never
spoke to DR.. knight rAid never seemed
to know that he was near,
Christmas eve came. Miss Merton
took Joe down to the hospital chapel
in his wheeled chair. AT the door he
shut his eyes tight for a second and
then flashed them open.
The room was full of light and the
warm, sweet smell Of fresh pine
branches. Ropes of holly and ever
green draped the ceiling and the walls,
and from the ropes hung little red
bells-such CHEEKY little bells that they
seemed to send out with their rosy
color u Christmas greeting.
In the center Of the platform at the
end OF the room stood the Christmas
tree.
II was tall and wide and covered
with twinkling candles, glistening or
naments and packages tied with red
and green ribbons.
On the floor were piled more pack
ages, 80 many of them that the floor
was covered.
The patients were all there. Old
Miss Curtiss, palsied and helpless, was
In " chair near the platform. Her face
was radiant, and occasionally she lifted
her one sound hand and pointed TO the
tree.
Mr.. Furr, who two weeks before had
lost both legs, was brought In on Il
stretcher. The oldest lnhabltant, a par
alytlc, was wheeled In on her bed
The convalescents with canes and
crutches sat In easy chairs or lay on
pillows on The chapel benches.
The surgeons In their evening clothes
on'thelr way to Christmas eve dinners
had come In and were affecting the
antics Of joyful small boys.
The first package taken from the
tree was for Joe Another was laid In
his lap and another. They came fast.
They filed his chair and lay on the
floor around him.

EASTER MONDAY AT THE AUDI.
 FORUM.

When it comes to a choice between quantity and quality in the matter of Vaudeville acts. the management or the Auditorium always takes the quality end of it. That is the reason that but three vaudeville acts are on the bill this week. This is not a sign that the Auditorium is curtailing its shows. as the aggregate salaries of the three acts total up to more than what is usually paid for four.
 Headlining the bill will be the sea sons best original novelty. The Three 1siebiss. d European act that has but recently been imported from Germany. The Liebig trio consists of two dash- ing young ladies and one man, and they bring forth music from every pos sibie source so that everybody won- dsrs where the melody will come from next Their dueling act and the hit the head" speciality, both of which are the cause of harmony, are Tar above and beyond anything ever attempted here. and keep the audience in state of wonder all during the act.
 Genuine Irish comedians arc few and far between. and the Auditorium has secured two of the best III Jarrett & Dunn. a pair of genuine Irishmen. whose Celtic character impersonations are true to life. and not burlesque ca ricatures The laughing hit of the show is assured this act
 A very classy single turn Is the act presented by Lee Earth, who is a singing comedian with a voice" also e yodeier of exceptional ability. Mir. Earth has one of the best single sing ing turns in the business bar none. The line of photoplsys put on at the Auditorium is attracting considera ble comment. both for the magnificent photography and the unusual stories of the films. The ever popular Bison make will head the pictures for Mon- day. with a western reel that is full of heart interest and daring deeds, en- titled The Paleface Princess. The req . son the Bison films are so popular is that all the COW boys. Indians and seen cry are the genuine western article. and not ke-believes. Their studio fs located just outside of Los Angeles, Cal, and in the real western atmo- sphere.
