The high cost of living is increasing
in many of the larger cities. Rents,
for instance, are much higher in Min
reapolis, where many improvements
are being made. It is hard to get
good meat in the large cities, even at
the high class cafes. The best meats
are exported and as the molars of the
American people are exceptionally
strong, the ancient critters are slaugh-
tered for home consumption. A Mi
not man and his wife recently went to
Minneapolis. They went to a good
hotel, engaged room on the third
floor, and in the morning went to one
of the better cafes Of the city, where
they secured just fair meal, the
meat being nothing extra. Their
breakfast cost them just $3.50, and
the cost of their sleeping one night
and eating the morning meal totaled
nearly seven dollars. They were not
|extravagant; they were used to living
well at home and they simply wanted
to live as well when they were away
from home.

BISHOP ROBINSON

A memorial service, which included

Mary's church SUNDAY morning, con.
dueted by Archdeacon A. Lester Haz-
lett. in memory of the late Bishop
Henry d. Robinson.

giving a brief biographical history OF
the deceased churchman, as follows:
Henry Douglas Robinson, d. d.,
Missionary Bishop of Nevada, was
born in Lowell, Mass. the son of
Alexander and Clara (Boate) Robin
son. Coming with his parents in
childhood to Racine. Wis. he took
and arts course in Racine college,
graduating with the degree of B. A.

an honorary degree as WELL
Mr.. Robinson also took post

then became instructor of mathemat

of San Mateo.
A year latef he was called to take
the post of head master of Racine
college grammar school. In the in
terim since he had left there, the
work of the entire institution had
been suspended and il looked as if
the great work Dr. James DeKoven
had for so many years presided over
had come to close.
Bishop Nicholson, who had in 1891,
entered upon the episcopate of Mil
waukee, had however, taken steps for

opened with the rector of st. Luke.

The First Christmas.


Here is the simple story, replete
with an interest that can never
wane of the first Christmas in Beth
lehem of Jude. Chronicling the great
est event since the creation of the
world phich witnessed it, st. Luke
writes with admirable simplicity.
And therefore, on this recurring
Christmastide. let us peruse once
again portion of the sacred nara
tive:
And she brought forth her first
born Son, and wrapped Him up in
swaddling clothes, and laid Him in a
manger, because there was no room
for them in the inn''
And there were in the same coun-
try shepherds watching, and keeping
the night-watches over their flock.
And behold an angel of the Lord
stood by them, and the brightness of
God shone round about them, and
they feared with a great fear And
the angel said to them: Fear not;
for behold I bring you good tidings
of great joy, that shall be to all the
people. For this day is born to you
a Savior, who is Christ the Lord, in
the city of David And this shall be
a sign unto you: You shall find the
Infant wrapped in swaddling clothes
and laid in a manger. And suddenly
there was with the angel multitude
of the Heavenly army, praising God
and saying, "Glory to God in the
highest, and on earth peace to men
of goodwill. st. Luke, IT chapter.
