MT. LAKE PARK

| There is Santa Claus, is the belief
of Rev. William A. Anderson. His
belief is well founded, for he actually
saw the bewiskered, snow covered old
gentleman at his home in Loeb Lynn
last Christmas morning.
Some of the good friends and neigh
bors of Rev. Anderson had taken note
of the fact that some times his 'Liz-
zie" became tempermental and re-
fused to do the bidding of her master.
Sometimes she refused to start and
then again she refused to stop.
Realizing that this condition of af-
fairs might, in an unguarded moment,
cause the minister to forget the pur-
ity of his English taught him at Ok
ford, they came to the conclusion that
he should have new Ford. No soon
! er said than done. So on Christmas
morning, Santa Claus and his am
bassadors of good will assembled at
the Anderson home, and m.u h
to the surprise of Rev. Anderson there
stood in his garage, in place of his old
friend Lizzie" car filled with gaso-
line and oil and ready to go. The re-
cipient, with tears in his eyes, ex-
pressed his appreciation of the gen.
crosby and thoughtfulness of his
| friends. $50; -.4,.so

heaven, and as If the artists con-
cerned were bringing out hidden
beauties that had been but infre-

wondrously as Miss Hess played

Franck that rendered mute an au-

This was the finishing touch to a
concert that had less fiourishes
and more quiet dignity and charm
than any heretofore in this season.
Excitements of the technical wiz
ardry variety were at a minimum,
the artists devoting themselves to
melodious and tranquil selections.

performance during the Beethoven
