fully decorated with holly and

through which Santa Clans en-

K. & L. Of S.

By far the most enjoyable
session of the K & L OF S. oc-
CURED Saturday night at thei,
regular meeting in Walkers
Hall. The first part of the
evening was given over to the
regular work of the order, al
which time nine beneficiary
candidates were b lloted on
Then came the initiation of 8
class of twenty-three beaeic
aries. This work was very wei
done by a we'll organized dfil
team Of sixteen ladies, a dark
ened hall, decorated with holly
and evergreen, and having RED
illumination adding much to
the beauty of the scene, as well
as the solemnity of the occasion
Following the closing of the
regular work was a program of
musical and literary numbers,
that was one of the best ever
given and was thoroughly ap
preciated by the three hundred
in attendance The curtain was
then drawn back disclosing q
giant Christmas tree reaching
to the ceiling. Many little
hearts gave several extra pull
sations as they viewed it re-
splendent with it's ornaments
and lighted candles. Santa
then came bounding in from
outside, clad in his furry robe
and encircled with sleigh bells
The lit lie children formed a
line of march and as they pass
ed him, he gave to each a sack
of candy and nuts, after which
the numerous presents were
distributed.
This lodge is noted fer its
good times and the manner in
which its members enjoyed
themselves last night, is proof
that the fact is we'll grounded
a.! Before the arrival of Santa.
Adm Brown grouped the child
rem in front of the tree and
'ook a fashlieht picture of
them with the lighted tree for
a background.

did need the runs with a triple IN the

The Cardinals overcarne n two r1in lead

other pair in the sixth frame were full
OF confidence when Maranville's triple
murdered them as dusk settled over the
