Those who went were not altogether
pleased with the performances bnt
there were some good features about

will lire in the memories of rcacy cf tls
cllltens on account of tie occMlon la
which thsy were the hosts at the Coait
house Friday noon. The Christmas
tree which they had for the beneSt of
the poor white children was a beautiful
and impressive sight and demonstrated
better than anything else could the un
selfishness and charity of that organisa
tion. It was ajractical application of
that beautiful precept: "It Is more
blessed to give than to receive." . "
In accordance with the announce
ment made during the week a hand
some Christmas tree of the holly vsriety
was placed In the court room, Illumina
ted with candles and hung with presents
and goodies to delight the hearts of the
children, ".'., ',
; Inside the bar, Inf the galleries and In
the auditorium many Interested specta
tors witnessed the proceeding and be
came Imbued with the delight and en
thusiasm of which the little one were
possessed. - Jp- -.v C

be appearance of Santa Clauswss
the signal for an nproarlon shout of
weloome by the guests of honor. Mr
lames B Dawson,who Is fitted by nature
to assume the role of that pleulng per-
pnage and he did ample justice to the
charaoter. He went through the house
shaking band and; greeting the little
people whose , fear that therwasno
Santa Claus if they ever had any, Were
dispelled for the time being. - ,
, The children were pat In line and led
in procession put the tree and were
banded their presents by the committee
composed of Messrs M M Marks, John
H Weddell, J E Benton, J Gulon Dunn.
E W Rosenthal, Ernest Green, and T O
flyman. The members were ably as
sisted by thel wives. . . The little) folk
weVe loaded with a much a they could
carry and In many case bad to be a-
sisted on their way out - That the chil
dren were surprised and 'delighted waa
shown by the expression on their ftoes
as they passed along the row and kept
receiving something almost every step
they took. It Is believed tbt fully
three hundred children enjoyed this
splendid generosity of the Elk.
After the children had. been served it
ws found that there was considerable
left and some of the older people were In
vlted to Join the procession and they too
knew from a praotloal point of view bow
good the Elk are.
This was the econd annual occasion
of the kind under jhe auspice of the or
der and It u understood that It Is an
established custom. It Is a gracious
act and one which will ro far to In
creasing the .popularity of the order.
Many there are In the olty, who- say,
God bleu the Elk.
