the other mans pockets, stared rue
fully at the other mans shoes.
The stage was set. In a moment
the curtain was going up on the first
act Of the play. And for a while we
would all say our little speeches and
sing our little songs, and /, the VII
lain, would hold center stage while the
gallery Kissed.
The porter was standing beside low
er ten. He had reached in and was
knocking valiantly. But his efforts
met with no response. He winked at
me over his shoulder; then he unfast-
ened the curtains and bent forward.
Behind him, saw him stiffen, heard
his muttered exclamation, saw the
blush pallor that spread over his
face and neck. AS he retreated
step the interior of lower ten lay open
to the day.
The man in it was on his back, the
early morning sun striking full on
his upturned face. But the light did
not disturb him. A small stain of red
dyed the front of his night clothes
and trailed across the sheet: his half
open eyes were fixed, without seeing,
on the shining wood above.

Musical Note.

A music teacher in a New England
school was trying to make the chill
dren in the fourth grade understand
the value of a triplet-to get them
to know that three quarteE-nctes
under brace were equal to two quar-.
ter-notes.
She couldn't make them under
stand: and finally, in despair. she
asked: What are three little babies
born all at the same time caIIed?"
"Accidentals!" shouted = small boy.

Consider This Advice.

No woman should submit to a surgf-
raj operation, which may mean death,
until she has given Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound fair trial.
This famous medicine, made only
from roots and herbs, has for thirty
wears proved to be the most valuable
tonic and inYigorator of the female
organism. Women residing in almost
every city and town in the United
States bear willing testimony to the
wonderful virtue of Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound.

appeared on the platform. in the costume of a plains Indian looking for Santa Claus. He had scarcely explained his mission to the audience when Santa Claus trotted in at the door. Gibson was at first a little abashed by the appearance of the strange looking old man, but evidently was soon charmed by the old fellow s smile and as Santa held out his hand, Gibson shook hands with him saying. Are you Santa Claus?" much to the delight of the onlookers. The good Saint immediately set 10 work distrib- uting gifts to boys and girls both old and young. Some of the older natives were especially pleased when they found that Saint Nick could speak Thlinget as well as English. (They later learned that James Gordon had taught him the language.)
 The Christmas eve exercises of 1910 will long be remembered by all who were present to enjoy them.
 On Christmas morning the pastor. Rev. E. E. Bromley, gave an earnest, helpful sermon full of the Christ spirit, and the choir sang appropriate anthems.
 The Thlinget Church was beautifully decorated for Chris mas. Mir. Simpson was chairman of the decorating committee but being busy with the il.stallment of the turbine for the Sitka Water and Light Co. Mir. Willard acted instead and, with several of the CottagerS, did the wolk with artistic results.

 school become to celebrating Christmas with a hundred or more boys and girls, as well as a group of teachers. in the fam ilv that Christmastide was a bit quiet and strange this season. However. it was joyful time to all.
 On Christmas eve the Sunday School of the Thlinget Church gave an excellent entertainment. The program occupied nearly an hour and a half and was heard by a large audience. Mr. H. 5. Parks acted as chairman of the evening.
 The little people delighted their hearers with songs, recita- tions. and exercises. There were pleasing numbers by some of the larger girls and boys, the song. Messiah is Born, by the older girls being especially enjoyed. The Cottage Band played with great credit to themselves. and the sacred solo on the cornet by Paul White was rendered with such beauty Of expression that Mr. White was requested to repeat this number a few days later at the entertain ment given by the native public school. Mrs. Archie DundaS. in excellent voice, sang very sweetly Adams Star of Beth lehem". Two anthems by the church choir. composed of Mes danes James. Simpson, Dundas, and Wanamaker. and Messrs. Wanamaker. Johnson. DundaS, and Simpson were greatly appre- ciated by the audience. Mrs. Beattie accompanied at the organ during the evening.

 The pupils numbering ever a hundred, when massed together for singing presented a most pleasing appearance. The pro- gram was mostly musical but recitations were included. Two numbers were of especial interest, one the performance of the bright eyed baby Thlin- gets of the primary grade and the other the recitations of Gibson Young. Miss Patton aud Miss Wright are to be cOngratu- lated on the eXcellency of the program showing as it does not only great tenacity and patience in training but also how popular they have made the school, for the only reason many of the native children have for going to school is the attractions presented. Mrs. Hurst assisted in the training of the children and presided at the piano.

THE A BIS

The Arctic Brotherhood gave their annual Christmas tree and entertainment on the evening of Dec. 24 in Pihl'S Hall. The room was crowded to hear the interesting and entertaining program which was participated in by the young people of the town. The A.
