Celebrated Christmas
 With Biblical Play

MANY curious feasts arose in con-
 vb nection with the celebration of
 Christmas in early days. Thus the ass on which Balaam rode in the "Reims Mystery" won for the feast the title "Festum Asinorum," the feast of the asses. As it was celebrated in France, according to William Hone, it consisted almost entirely of dramatic show. On one occasion the clergy walked on Christmas day in process sion, habited to represent the prophets and other characters.
 Moses appeared in an alb and cope, with a long beard and a rod. David had a green vestment. Balaam, with an immense pair of spurs, rode on a wooden ass, which inclosed speaker. There were also six Jews and six gen tiles. Among other characters the poet vergil was introduced, singing monkish rimes. They moved in pro- cession through the body of the church chanting versicles and conyersing on the life of Christ till they came into the choir.
 This service, as performed in the cathedral at Rouen, commenced with q procession in which the clergy rep resented the prophets of the Old Testa- ment, who foretold the birth of Christ. Then followed Balaam mounted on the ass, Zacharias, Elizabeth, John the Baptist, the Sibyl, Erythree, Simeon, Vergil, Nebuchadnezzar and the three prophets in the furnaee.-Washington Post

Tale of a Gift
 That Wasn't Given

~ EFT giving has marked the theat- AI rical profession in all times, and
 1t was interesting to hear on one occasion an old actor tell with tears in his eyes of the most beautiful Christ mas present that he had ever received "a wig that Edwin Forrest had worn in "Othello" and that he gave to the actor, then young, in token of his es- teem, says a player.
 It was most fearful scene, this old man recalling this touching incident of the good old times, and we were all leaving the table, burdened with the picture and the memories that it evok- ed, when Stuart Rogson leaned over and whispered:
 You know Forrest never gave any one anything, and he didn't wear a wig in 'Othello.'"

Boy From the Fourth Is Named to
Go to Annapolis Naval School

Ralph R. Cox, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Thomas Cox, 2874 Ida street, has
been appointed to Annapolis by Con-
gresham Lobeck.
At present young Cox is a member
of the headquarters company of the
Fourth Nebraska at Fort Crook. So
anxious was he to do his share for
his country that, although he hoped
for the Annapolis appointment, he
joined the Fourth Nebraska to make
sure of getting into the fighting
game.
While he likes the Fighting Fourth
very much, it has always been his
dream to go to Annapolis, SO he will
ask for a furlough in which to pre-
pare for the Annapolis examination
February 8. -#
He is sure OF passing the physical
examination, having already passed
that for the army. The mental one,
although additionally "stiff,' will not
be too hard for him as he is a grad
uate of Creighton college.

OMAHA GRAIN MAN
DRIVEN TO WALL;
RECEIVER NAMED
United States Commission Com
pany'S Liabilities Will Prob
ably Aggregate $250,000
Say the Creditors.

A petition asking that William r.
Richter, grain man. be declared "a
bankrupt was filed in federal court
by the Nebraska-Iowa Grain COM
pany, ]. +. Twamley, Son & Co. and
the Omaha Elevator company.
These are three of Richter's cred
itors. Richter's total liabilities to
these firms and others will aggregate
$250,O00, it is claimed. Henry T. Clarke
was appointed temporary receiver of
the Richter concern, which did bust
ness as the United States Commits
sion company with Offices at 640
Omaha Grain Exchange building.
The failure followed the chaotic con-
dition of the grain market couple
OF weeks ago.
Ed p. Smith and +. A. Brogan, at
torneys for the petitioners, declare
that Richters affairs are in a chaotic
state. The petition alleges that he
paid $l30000 to A. V. Kinsler within
few months before the closing up
of Richters business August IL.
1--WE have found checks from Rich
ter TO Kinsler for $109,000," said Mr..
Brogan, "and also mortgage bond
for $4,000, making $4,000 alto
gether."
1t is said that these sums were lost
in grain operations.
Richter says he has enough assets
to more than offset his liabilities when
he is able to collect bills due him.
This was stated by G. B. Keller, one
of his attorneys.
Hearing on the petition will be held
in about two weeks.
