 For The Poor.
 Perhaps the biggest feature of the holiday season in Prescott will be the Christmas tree and program al the Yavapai Club on the afternoon of Christmas day. A large tree has been provided which will be loaded with presents and sweetmeats for all the children of Prescott who are on the lists furnished by the Associated Charities organization, the churches and others. Useful presents will be given to hundreds of children on this occasion, and each one will also re- ceive candy, toys, popcorn and othc- goodies to make them happy and place in their breasts ray of joy such as only children can appreciate. The committee having this most worthy enterprise in charge has been collecting money for some time, and has also arranged program which will be rendered at the commence ment of the exercises. and before Santa Claus will be turned loose to distribute the presents. It is cx- pected that this Christmas tree will attract enough children to pack even the streets about the club while the distribution of presents is in prog ress, and that not a single child in Prescott, who is less fortunate in the world than other children, but who possesses just as bright eyes. just as high hopes and absorbing ambitions as the richest, will be missed.
 Another event which will bring happiness to a class of children who may not be remembered in the home on account of adverse circumstances, will be the Christmas tree at the NJ. F.. Mission on South Granite street on Christmas day.
 The church people who have this mission in charge expect to see to f that every child on their list is sup piled witl something useful and pleas ing at the mission, although the time will be arranged so as not to con aict with the Yavapai Club tree.
