Lakes good friends, those of the

den gave the history of the tree and
the hopes of those responsible, namely,
that it might stand each year as re-

We must say something about Wiley
yelling, Jr., and his impersonatiOn OF
Saint Nick. For many years we have
seen these representations, but this
was the very best. The children were
thick about him, asking all sorts of
questions and he did not fail to answer
any of them. Only once did we see him
nonplussed, as it were, and that was
when a young lady of four years
stepped up and spoke to him, saying,
"You know my mother and daddy don't
sleep in the same ROOM" We think he
did very well, because he asked where
the chimney was in the house. After
wards mother and daddy" remarked
that she was certainly telling their do
mestic secrets.
Anyhow, it was a grand tree and
may it last long.
