CIRCUS AT MASONIC HALL.

On Saturday evening, November 22d,
the SITS. John Chapter No. 80, o. E.
S., entertained the children" of its
members.
The members of the Order planned
very enjoyable evening for the lit
tie folks. The hall was one round OF
mirth and merriment from the time of
the opening of the program until the
end.
The circus opened with a grand
parade led by the cleverest of clowns
and the babies and children were
drawn around in toy wagons and
boxes gorgeously decorated with
bright colors and flags.
After the parade the children were
seated around large ring, and Miss
Edna Karr told a very funny story,
which was enjoyed by both young and
old. The two little Murray Boys"
from McDonoghville, were the stars"
OF the evining with their original reci-
tations. The clowns, Mr.. Tom Emit
wistle and Mr.. Edwin Booth, entered
into the spirit of the occasion with a [
vim, and the tricks and antics of these
men furnished amusement for the lit
tie folks for the rest of the evening.
Mr.. John Cieutat acted as vendor of /
circus wares. The little ones were |
given balloons and bright colored caps,
which added much to the pleasure of |
the evening. Games of all kinds were
played, even to the old reliable pin
ming the tail on the donkey. Six prizes
were awarded, three to the girls and
three to the boys. Delicious refresh
ments were served throughout the
evening. All who attended had a roll
licking good time.

A CHRISTMAS SUPERSTITION.

In the west Of England 1t was once
firmly believed that anyone who WIS.,
tied cattle shed on Christmas eve
would hear the beasts conversing. But
such a visit was considered perilous-
the irreverent eavesdropper being like
~ to hear words Of i'll omen, as in the
legend Of the farmer who heard his
oxen comparing mournful notes of q
certain hard days work that lay be-
fore them in the future: "It is a long
way up the hill to the churchyard, and
our master is heavy" Brand speaks
Of a west country peasant who told
MIN that he had himself seen cattle
fall on their knees at the Holy Hour,
and heard them utter a groan '.iike

Different Now,
But Christmas
Just the Same
BY DeLyIe +. Cass

In olden days they used to bring a
boar's head smoking into the feast
and drag the holly-grown Yule-log to
the great fireplace with special cere-
monies.
And years afterwards the custom
was for bands OF sweet.voiced boys to
30 from house to house on Christmas
morning. standing grouped in the
street and singing carols Of Joy to the
mellow resonance of bells.
And in. grandfather's time folks
made up jolly, boisterous sleighing par
ties. where all muff1ed up snugly
and let out the horses, with the iron
runners gliding swiftly over the hard
packed snow.
But MOllie and live in q little house
In town, where the sanitary depart
ment keeps the streets swept clean
OF snow; where there are municipal
rules against chopping down trees and
no f1replaces in which to burn the logs,
even If We had them; where the Do
liceman on the beat probably would
arrest the Christmas choiristers If they
came around and woke up the neigh
borhood by singing early in the morn

EDUCATIONAL DRIVE
TO Be CONDUCTED BY
MEMORIAL COMMITTEE

Joseph H. Mills, chairman of the
State Memorials committee, who pre-
sided at a state conference of the com
mittee at the Claypool hotel in Indi
annapolis Monday, returned to Rich
mond last evening. Mr.. Mills said all
the congressional districts, with the
exception of the fourth and eleventh
we're represented at the conference.
General discussion OF the bill re
Gently passed by the legislature and
the application OF the bill, the form OF
district, county and township organi
accomplished in number of congress
sional districts were the principal feat
ures Of the meeting, said Mr. Mills.
Would Distribute Bill.
"A resolution was passed calling for
the issuance and general distribution
Of House Bill 399 Memorials Bill
through the various organizations OF
the congressional districts" said Mr.
Mills. with this resolution there was
further recommended on the part OF
the various organizations general
dissemination Of intelligent under
standing as to the provisions OF the
bill, its form of application, which is
not mandatory and which must emin
ate from civic and patriotic spirit.
There was a manifest expression OF
a desire to regulate the form Of me.
MORALS along the practical efficient
lines Of useful and permanent con
struction. The fact that wherever the
bill becomes operative, the fund re.
quired to make it operative is a gen.
eral fund created by all taxpayers in
the various counties, will necessarily
make it mandatory on the part of the
various memorials commissions to
create such forms of memorials as
will not only be artistic but of prac.
teal utility and benefit to all Of the
taxpayers of the counties or cities
represented in the general fund.
Opposition Anticipated.
The committee realizes that owing
to the fact that the funds to be ere
ated to provide for memorials will
affect all taxpayers, that in some in.
stances there will be opposition to
the application of the bill, and wishes
to limit it's operation and to entrust
the results of their organized efforts
to the moral, civic and patriotic cit
henry of the state.
The functioning of the committee
in its earnest desire to serve the will
of the people, shall not be to do other
wise than to intelligently and under
standingly, as may be within their
power, present through close organi
cation all of the features of the me-
MORALS bill and have it either re
jected or adopted upon the judgment
Of the taxpayers of the state as to
it's merits.
"It is believed that within sixty tC
ninety days there will have been man
ifested a supreme effort on the part Of
a number of counties already organic
ing to lead under the application OF
the memorials bill and to render
prompt, efficient service, in response
to a general demand for reconstruc
tive work"

COLUMBUS, March 25-Reconsid-
GRAFTON OF the vote by which the emer-

enforcement bill was lost in the house
last week will not be taken up as a
special order this afternoon. Repre-
sentative Crabbe said last night on
account of a number of members be-
ing absent the vote would not be TAX
en- before Thursday, the exact time
not having yet been set.
A movement also has been launched
to again change the date for holding
the special election for the submission
of the proposed classification taxation
amendment, special tax levies and
bonds under the proposed financial re-
lief bill. The last date proposed is
Saturday, May "A, but as this is the
last Saturday saloons will be open be-
fore statewide prohibition becomes eff
fective, there are many legislators who
believe the saloon men would be done
an injustice as they would be COM
PEELED to close on that date under the
election laws.
May "a also is said to be a Jewish
holiday. No other date has been sug-
gested.
The first signs Of speeding up pre-
paratory to recess or adjournment
