The gravity of the absence of def.

woman or child Of Bemdji was made
more happy by the arrival Of Christ
mas than Rev. s. p. P. White, pastor
of the Presbyterian church, who was
yesterday presented with a purse Of
500 by the members Of his congrega-
ton.
The purse was made up from near
~ every person Of the church, each
member being allotted to contribute
only small portion.
Rev. White has been pastor of the
Presbyterian church here for nine.
years. During that time nearly ST.
900 in debts have been paid and inn
provements to the amount of approx
mately $4,000 made.
"Never in my life have appreci-
ated anything so much, nor have I
felt more honored," said Rev. White,

vantage of the fare refund which was
offered by the merchants of the city.
The Weather.
The old weather man did his best
to whiten the ground with snow for
Christmas, but his efforts were in
vain and only a very small quantity
was provided. The cold weather of
the past week seemed to instil an ad-
ded amount of holiday spirit. how
ever, which more than made up
for the lack of downy white.
The Christmas Programs.
Four of the churches held their pro-
!. grams and had their Santa Claus and
trees either Wednesday evening or
last night. The Presbyterian, Bap-
fist and Methodist houses of worship
entertained the little tots, (and many

boxes and packages for the poor, and
several owners of automobiles grant
