oIevar Work of Mile. Grey Was Much Appreciated by Big
 Audience.

It was a highly appreciative audience which attended the per-
 formance of Mile. Athmore Grey
 at the Orpheum theater last
 night. The theater was crowd ed to it's utmost capacity, many standing in the aisle before the IS. R. o. sign was taken down and the office stopped selling tickets.
 Mile. Grey is a classical danc- CT of the Grecian type and is a thorough artist such as Valdez audiences have never had an op- lportunity of seeing. Her every motion is graceful and not cap able of misconstruction. Her dancing shows a trained mind and body.
 The repertoire last night in- cluded Rubenstein's "Valse Ga price, Mendelssohn's Spring Song," Grieg's "Anitra's Dance," and "The Dance of the Gnomes, as well as several minor num- bers. Her beautiful presenta- ton of "Salome." the dance of seven. veils, was Mile. Grey's most artistic work and called for much applause from her pleased audi cnce. The performance will be repeated again this evening and is sure to draw a crowded house.

Papyrus.

The papyrus used by the ancient Egyptians was made from the stems of peculiar water reed growing i'll all parts of Egypt. The outside layer of the plant was removed, and beneath this there were found d number of layers of d delicate. pithy membrane. These, being separated, were placed in layers. A second layer was laid at right angles to and above the first and sometimes third over the second. Heavy pressure was then applied, and the layers were firmly ccmented into q fair article of paper. No gum other than what was contained in the plant itself was used in the process. The papyrus was very much strong CT than the average paper made by the modern machines. The sheets were commonly made from six to twelve inches square.

The Philosopher.

When dire mis fortune comes along and knocks the other chap all wrong, I'm always in good form; 1 tell him that his face should shine; that it is wicked to repine, to yield before the storm. But when the hail comes down, alas, and ruins all my garden sass, l am too sore to talk. and when my neighbor comes to say that l should dance and sing all day, I chase him round a block. Old Bulger has the rheumatiZ, and through his frame the pink pains whiz, and so he sits and groans. Brace up, brace up and be man, and be as joyful as you can,' l say in cordial tones. But last week when l broke my shin l did not caracole and grin to any great extent, and when old Bulger came to spring some dope advising me to sing, l cusSed him till he went. It's easy for the fellow wise to sit up and phil uSnphiZe OCT other peoples woes. but can he keep his smile on straight when an unkind, re- murSelcss fate shall bash him on the nose? It isn't hard to calm- ly view the grief that makes our neiahbor blue, and of his duty talk: but it requires of grit a deal to smile when on an orange peel we step and fall a block.

 :; In early times, when man was master, clothes were. fastened with strings and brooches. The Norman nobility, who always had an eye to effect, spent considerable sums of money on their brooches, which were chastely wrought and added greatly to the beauty of costume.
 When the poorer people indulged in brooches they were content if such accessories to the toilet full filled the purpose of holding the clothes together. The earliest but tons were merely adopted as orna- ments and fulfilled no useful func- tion. In the earliest paintings one finds buttons without any corre- spending buttonholes. Buttons were also sewcd on shoes and figured prominently on the sleeves.
 This latter fashion is still popu- lar as regards ceremonial garbs and uniforms. The button as an article of use and not merely as an orna- ment may be said to date from the reign of Edward |. These early but tons were of modest appearance and were manufactured from bone and wood. "''
 It was the usual custom to have two buttons stitched on the coat at the small of the back to enable a man to button back his coattails so that he could walk or draw his sword the more easily. These two buttons are still retained on mod crn coats, though any reason for their existence has long since de- parted.
 As wealth increased gold and sil- yer buttons made their appearance. We find Pepys writing, ''Ths morn ing came home my fine camlett coat, with gold buttons, and a silk suit, which cost me much money, and 1 pray God to make me able to pay for it." A little later Pepys refers to his jackanapes coat with silver buttons and records the fact that he put on for the first time "my black camlett coat with silver buttons," from which it is evident he had a camlett coat with silver buttons and one with gold. Pepys was only man of moderate means and at the time when he was mak- ing such a display with his gold and silver buttons supposed him. self to be worth "about f500 clear in the world"
 But the gold and silver buttons were necessary if he were to keep in the fashion. Those who stood outside the fashionable world flat tered their love for display by sport ing gilt buttons. At later date cloth buttons became popular, but when Birmingham began to turn out metal buttons an act was pdss- ed in the reign of George l. forbid ding the manufacture of cloth but tons in order that the new industry of metal buttons might have a chance to flourish. The metal but ton industry made the most of the opportunity. for all kinds of but tons now compete on an equal foot ing for popular favor. - London Globe.

Christmas Story

Dear Juniors Once upon time in
a far eastern city there lieved in the
poorest part of the town, a wash wom-
an, Mrs. Clifford, and her three chill
dren Mabel, age s, Helen, age 10, and
Ned age 10.
1t was in the winter time and Christ
mas was approaching. One cold
morning a few days before Christmas
Ned crawled out of bed to find his
mother weeping by the window. He
crept up to her softly and put his arms
around her neck and said, his teeth
chattering with cold, What Is the
matter, mammal"
His mother hesitated. It was not
best to tell him that the little money
they had, would have to be used for
fuel and clothing and there would be
no presents and Santa Claus would not
come.
"Tell me- he begged. One moment
she was silent and then she told him.
Ned listened and when his mother had
finished said, mabel and Helen must
not know. Don't cry any more. I'm
sure therell be way for us. The
good. kind father won't desert u.s."
kissing her hastily, he dressed and
a few minutes later saw him hurrying
with all his might to the newspaper
office to get his papers and begin to
sell them
Some of his rich friends who bought
papers Of him noticed the sad look on
his face. One of them, tall boy of
sixteen, asked him what was the mat
ter Ned told him.
On Christmas eve about midnight,
when all were sleeping in the little
cold cottage, dray drew up. The
load of coal was emptied and the dray
drove away over the crisp and crack
ling snow. 1t was not long until a
sleigh appeared. 1t stopped by the cot
tage, and two figures that Of girl
and boy jumped out. The boy carried
a tree into the house. His sister fol-
lowed with a heavily laden basket.
The tree was set up by the fireplace
and quick hands decorated 1t. Anoth-
er basket was placed on the table, con-
tanning turkey, oysters, and other
good things.

Frank Kemp Writes Story
for First Time

We celebrate Christmas because 1t is
the birthday of Christ our savior. In
the days of King Herod there was sent
throughout all the country message,
that all people were to go to the town
where their tribe started. and sign
! their name because the people were to
be taxed. Mary and Joseph went to
Bethlehem because both were Of the
house Of David and signed their names.
When they got there they found the
inns full Of people SO they went to the
stable to stay for the night. In the night
there was a little baby born In the
manager and the mother wrapped him
up in sWaddling clothes. Out on the
hiNsides shepherds were watching their
flocks at night so that wolves would
not get any Of the lambs. And while
they were watching their flocks an
angel came and there was a great light
and they were afraid. But the angel
said Fear not, for to you and to all, !
bring tidings of great JOY. For Christ
the savior Of all mankind Is born" And
the shepherds talked about 1T and final
ly went to Bethlehem and found Christ
lying in the manager And when they
had seen him they were awe struck and
spread the gladness.
In the east there were three wise men
who were called the three kings and
who knew the sky like books and ever
evening they read the stars. One night
they saw bright star in the east and
these three kings started from home to
find Christ king Of kings and lord of
lords. When King Herod heard of this
he was afraid he would lose his throne
And Herod talked with the wise men
and told them to go to Bethlehem and
find out where Christ was born.
SO that he might come and kneel at
his feet. And they went and they saw
tho star Of the east and it led them to
where Christ was and stopped.
And they went in and knelt and pray
ed and gave him precious Jewels. gums
and things that were only for kings.
That night they had a dream and the
lord told them not to go back to King
Herod.

"Our Little King" - Mag
dalen Dunning

The night was cold snow flakes were
falling fast, and the streets and inns
of Bethlehem were filled with people
who had come to enroll their names
in their family city, in obedience to the
| imperial edict.
Mary and Joseph were very cold.
| They went from inn to inn, seeking
shelter from the storm and fast ap-
preaching night. Joseph knocked, but
the innkeeper closed the doors angrily.
A good shepherd gave them cave
which, even the very beasts had de-
serted. It was here that the "son Of
God" became man.
The shepherds who had seen his
star in the east and, in it an angel and
multitude of heavenly spirits, prais-
| ing God and singing, GLORY to God in
the highest on earth peace to men of
good WILL" became badly frightened.
But the angels said, fear not for I
bring you good tidings of great joy,
which shall be to all the people, for
today Is born to you Savior, who is
Christ the Lord, in the city Of David"
The shepherds started Immediately
for Bethlehem following the star. They
came to the cave and found Jesus in
the arms Of Mary. They knelt, and,
adored him, praising God, and Of
fering their humble gifts Of myrrh and
| incense.
Day was approaching and the shep-
herds went away to their homes. In
the morning, many other shepherds
with their wives and children came to
adore the new king.
When he was forty-days old his par
ents took him to Jerusalem to present
him to the Lord. The people at Jeru-
salem rejoiced at the sight Of the
new born king.
His parents took him to Nazareth.
He dwelt with them, and, when but a
mere child he performed many mira
cles. He also helped Joseph, his fos-
ter father with his carpenter work.
Every time the blessed Virgin look
ed at our Lord, she thought OF the
crown of thorns that would crown his
forehead and the cruel nails that would
pierce his hands that were so beaut1'
full, for it had been foretold by Simeon
the prophet at the time of our Lords
presentation in the temple. Thus
were the bitterest sorrows always
mingled with her purest joys.

''The Christ-Child" BY
Anatasia Logan

Over nineteen hundred years ago
the Saviour OF mankind was born. 1t
was a cold night on the 25th OF De-
cember. A man and woman were
searching for a place to sleep. NO
one knew who they were. The city
was crowded because all the people
had come to write their names at the
request Of the king. This poor man
and woman could find no lodging in
the city, so they went to poor stable
to sleep. There in a manager OF nay
your Saviour was born.
Who were the man and woman? 1t
was Mary the mother Of God and Jo'
seph his foster father. When Christ
was born, angels sang and the air
was filled with heavenly light. Some
shepherds were tending their sheep on
the hills. They were much frightened
when they heard some one singing,
GLORY to God on high and peace on
earth, good will to men," On looking
up they saw many angels, and one
said TO him, BE not afraid, for great
joy has come to you. Go into yonder
stable and you will find wrapped in
swaddling clothes, babe in the man
ger. Kneel down and adore him FOR
he is your king" The angels flew away
singing, and the shepherds went to
find the Holy Babe. When they reach
ed the stable they adored him on ben
ed knee.
One little girl whose name was
Madeline was with the shepherds, but
had no little lamb to give to the king
and she began to cry. An angel said.
What is the matter, Madel1ne!'
Madeline said, '"I have no lamb to give
the new king" Come with me- said
the angel. She brought her to rock
she placed her staff upon 1t and there
burst forth rose bush bearing white
roses. She gathered the roses and
gave them to her king. These flowers
were called the Christ-fowers. In
Europe there is legend that the
Christ-1owers bloom every thousand
years upon a rock. The little babe
was named Jesus.
Many people did not believe that
this was our Saviour because he was
so poor. We are now about to cele-
brate the nativity of Christ ana II
should be a time of great rejoicing.

''The First Christmas Eve
BY May Huffman

Once upon a time nineteen hundred
years ago on Christmas eve the shep-
herds were on the hillside watching
their f1ocks Of sheep at night. When
they saw bright star in the east and
saw an angel standing dressed in
white and his face was gravely sweet.
And he spoke to them gently as they
bowed them at his feet. The angel
said, Fear we not" he said because
they were troubled; II bring news Of
peace and joy
Tonight in David's city there lies a
little baby sleeping in the hay. That
is a lovely stranger who brought our
first Christmas day" When the angel
vanished the song grew faint and far.
Then they travelled on and onward
till they had reached the eastern star.
