SATURDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1916 "Any prejudice whatever will be insurmountable if those who do not share in it themselves truckle to it and flatter it and accept it as a law of nature." —John Stuart Mill. --- Last week the Associated Press dis patches told a sad case of suicide of a Chicago mother who determined that it was cheaper to die than to live. Her husband was earning $12 per week, but it was not enough. She wrote a note before turning on the gas that sent her soul to the great beyond in which she said: "This is what it takes a week—$4 rent, $2 lunch and car fare; that leaves $6 a week for light, fuel, food, clothing, medicine and incidentals for husband, children and myself. God help the poor." This case seemed to be peculiarly pathetic and according to our observations indicated a wide spread feeling among the poorer class of people. The same trend of thought seems to have been indulged in by the St. Paul Pioneer Press, the result of which was the appearance under the above caution of the following: "Responsibility for the increasing number of suicides in New York City is placed upon the high cost of living by Israel Feinberg, president of Gotham's board of coroners. The coroner also says he traced many deaths from lack of proper nourishment to the amounting prices of foodstuffs and contends the suicides are alarming in their increased frequency. "There is no reason to doubt the statement of Coroner Feinberg, for statistics from every civilized country in the world show that periods of financial depression are almost invariably accompanied by increased crime, suicide and divorce and followed by fewer marriages and a declining birth rate. "In 1893 there were only 803 more marriages in the United States than there were the preceding year, although the five years preceding 1893 --- THE SIN OF SILENCE To sin by silenl protest makes co The human race h test.

The human race has climbed on protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide our least disputes. The few who dare must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many.—Ella Wheeler Wilcox. showed a yearly increase in the number of marriages running from 11,080 to 26,027; and in 1894, the year after the panic, the marriages actually decreased to the extent of 12,512; while the suicide rate in 1908, the year after the financial panic of 1907, was 21.6 per 100,000 persons, the highest average ever recorded in this country. "That this is popularly known as a period of prosperity rather than depression does not invalidate the conclusions of Coroner Feinberg, for in most cases the cost of living has so far outstripped any advances in wages that hundreds of thousands of persons relatively are much poorer than they were under normal conditions before the war." LET THE CONSTITUTION ALONE Wind Jammer Bryan, elated with the undeserved success of the Democrats in the recent national election, is asking a little too much of his party. In a speech at a dinner recently given in his honor at Washington he urged the adoption of nation-wide prohibition and woman suffrage which is a little more than the average Democrat can stand for. He also advocated the passage of an amendment for the election of the President by direct popular vote and to amend the constitution so as to make that instrument more easily amendable. This latter suggestion would undoubtedly meet their hearty approval as the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the constitution have been wormwood and gall that they would like very much to get rid of and in their place put something that would further outrage and crush the colored people. We have got to stand the Democratic administration for the next four years but we most sincerely hope that after that this beautiful land of ours will not be cursed by their domination any longer. AS OTHERS SEE US. "O, wad some power the gritty gie' us, to se ourSELF as itthers see us." Bobby Burns was, what we would call now-a-days, a "wise guy." We Americans think we are the "whole show," but are we? Sir Rubindranath Tagore, the famous East Indian poet, winner of the Nobel Prize for literature, doesn't think we are, and recently criticized us most unmercifully. He said we are building ugly cities, are too self-assured, are nationally conceived and are forgetting the fine simplicity of life in our mad rush for money, and we must admit that he is about right. He says, there is more to life than just making money. Life calls for leisure not machine-made days of money-mad activities. "You hurry so you forget that life at its best is just simplicity, taking time to get the things that money can never buy. "Like a popcorn wagon are your modern ideas of life. Everything is popping and bursting in different directions, no peace, no poise anywhere." PENROSE FORCE BILL. Senator Bates Penrose of Pennsylvania has announced his intention to introduce and press for passage, a bill that provides for Federal supervision of national elections. The object sought is to put a stop to the unfair methods that have for many years been practiced in the south which deprives a majority of the colored men from voting, although they were counted to maintain the congressional representation. THE MAN WHO DARES I honor the man entious discharge o stand alone; the w intolerant judgment the countenances o averted, and the he cold, but the sense be sweeter than the world, the countenance the hearts of friend I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends.—Charles Sumner. once when we should awards out of men. has climbed on pro- been raised against me and lust, the in- d serve the law, and our least disputes. we must speak and right the wrongs of Mr Wilcox. Speaking of the bill editorially, the Pioneer Press states that it would have no chance of passing, while ad- mitting the justice of the measure. The Pioneer Press states facts, but, is it not a sad commentary upon the white people of this country, that they will deliberately act with such unfair and inhuman a spirit, knowing all the while that they are absolutely wrong. Might does not make right, and if it is a fact that right must prevail, the day of retribution must come sometime BAD MANAGEMENT The recent national election which resulted in the dire calamity of four years more of Wilson, was brought about by the very bad management of the leaders of the G. O. P. Especially did they blunder in California in not properly taking Hiram Johnson into consideration and the state was lost for Hughes by just 1,887 votes and Wilson won out. The leaders of the G. O. P. did not give the proper recognition the most loyal class of voters—the colored people and but for their fealty and loyalty to the Republican party Minnesota would not have been in the Republican column, as it is officially decided that Hughes' plurality in Minnesota was only 392. The Republican campaign managers had a fund of $2,445,421 to make the campaign with but they ignored the colored newspapers. in the distribution of the same and it is now shown that there was a surplus of $3,856 which could not have been devoted to a better channel than the loyal colored newspapers. Rosevelt told the truth, too, in the Metropolitan Magazine in which he says, among other things: "We have permitted our politicians, our candidates for public offices, to treat the promises, made in party plant forms and on the stump with a cynical indifference which reflects itself in a similar indifference on the part of the voters." PASTOR RUSSELL NOT RICH. There are very few reading people in this country who have not noticed in this country who have not noticed "Pastor Russell's Sermons" in the daily papers or the other publications in which they appeared. People of the world, knowing the selfish trend of man generally, were inclined to believe that Pastor Russell was not publishing his sermons solely for the religious benefit of his fellow man, but for the filthy lucre there seemed to be in them, however this appears to not be the fact, for according to the Associated Press dispatches an estate of $200 was all "Pastor" Charles T. Russell left, according to his will, in the December issue of the Watch Tower. The will stipulates five men, appointed by him as the editorial staff of his magazine, are to receive $10 each month for current expenses in addition to board and lodging. This ought to change the opinion that many persons had of the deceased. Have Learned to "Love, Honor and Obey." (From the Afro-American Ledger.) "If I can live happily among the colored people, if I can love them as I love the people of my own race, then I will know that our dream of brotherhood is real," says Florence MacFarlane, delegate from London, England, to the New Thought Congress, which met in San Francisco recently. Miss MacFarlane announces her intention of going out to college at the University.

Cottonwood Falls, Kan.'-A big tooth, which is supposed to have come from the jaw of some mastodon of prehistoric animals has been unearthed by T. E. Nichols of this city by men employed in making a deep cut on Diamond creek, a mile east a half northeast and Elmldale. The trench had been to a depth of fifty-three feet and had passed through an eight foot gravel strata when the big tooth was found. A soapstone formation was encountered just beneath it. The tooth is well preserved. It weighs over three pounds, measures a foot and three inches in circumference around its base and is three inches in height from its base to the points of the tooth. It is oblong in shape, its width being three and a half inches. There are six flanges or points to the tooth, which extend upward in regular pairs. The tooth has three large roots, there being about three or four of the roots of the tooth intact, but the lower parts of the root are believed to be a flavorous, or flesh eating, animal because of the flanges or sharp points. After finding the tooth another bone only a few feet away was uncovered by another wormman. It is a large flat, round shaped bone, which resembles a kneecap. FAITHFUL DOG'S BARKING CALLS FATHER TO CHILD Little One, Playing In Pasture, Where It Strayed, Kicked by Horses. Wheatland, Wyo.—G. F. Harold's little son, Alvin, two and a half years old, was kicked in the head by a horse the other day, his skull was fractured and other severe wounds, seemingly sufficient to cause death, were sustained. The father's attention was called to the child by the frantic barking of the farm dog, and upon investigating he found that the dog was guarding the insanable form of the little boy from a bunch of horses in the pasture where the little fellow had wandered in his play. The child's forehead was crushed, the nose broken and the eye laid open by the flesh being all torn from it. As he was still alive he was rushed to a hospital with all possible speed. The surgeon performed a very delicate operation, lifting the broken bones into position and sewing the torn skin around the eye back into place, and at present writing the little fellow is getting along nicely and gives promise of success. That he was not instantly killed is probably due to the fact that the horse's hoof struck a glancing blow, and that he lives at all is because there was a skillful surgeon available. SISTERS EARN $2,400 Set New Agricultural Record Raising Cabbages. Greensburg, Pa. — Four Westmoreland county young women, daughters of Mrs. and Mrs. C. H. Smith, near Ruffsdale, have established a new agricultural record in the yield and profits to be derived from a two acre plot of cabbage. The Misses Smith, the eldest of whom is eighteen, now have a bank account of $900, with accounts due from Pittsburgh commission men amounting to $900, and a quarter of their cabbage yet remains to be cut and marketed. Buyers estimate the value of the entire field at about $2,400. Early last spring Smith turned the two acre plot over to his daughters, telling them to make any use of it they desired. The girls, after closely scanning the market reports for weeks, decided to grow cabbages. They set about 18,000 plants. KILL WHITE FACED IBIS. Kansas Hunters Were Puzzled, but Professor Solved the Problem. Topeka, Kan.-A party of hunters were near Stafford when a long legged bird, which looked like a crane and flew like a duck, suddenly rose and started toward Oklahoma. The bird gave the crane a same time. The bird gave the southern trip. The men did not know what they had killed. They guessed everything from a mud hen to a wild turkey. George Stansfield made a secret trip to Lawrence and conferred with some of the professors. They labeled the bird a white faced glossy ibis, a species the colonywere] very rare in Kansas.

Girl Gave Up Stenography to Take in Clothes. Norristown, Pa.-Quitting her position as stenographer to go to the washub, Ms Georgia Cuthert is making $68 a week, and she handles only five washes to do it, according to her testimony in the equity action in which she is defendant and Mrs. Marie Lusson, her neighbor, plaintiff. Miss Cuthert informed Judge Swartz that one family alone paid her $30, two $9 and a fifth $9 a week. She gives her she says, she because she does not use bleach or acids in cleansing them. "None of the clothing I handle is soiled, only mussed," she said. Mrs. Marie Lusson seeks to prevent Miss Cuthert erecting a laundry in the rear of her lot in Ardmore, Pa. Mrs. Lusson says that a laundry there would be undesirable, unhealthy and in violation of building restrictions. The testimony experts said a laundry there would be no dirt, no noise, smell and, in fact, no reason why this woman should not be permitted to proceed with the laundry. PAY FARES AFTER 20 YEARS. Charity Finally Took $1 That Railway Official Refused to Accept. Official Refused to Accept Findlay, O. — Philosophers for centuries have attempted to analyze the conscience of the human race and what prompts it, but have been unsuccessful. Charles F. Smith, general manager of the Toledo, Bowling Green and Southern railway, can now testify. Recently he was sitting in his office when two men walked in and each threw a fifty cent piece on his desk, explaining that twenty years ago they had ridden from the north side to the Tangent depot without paying fare. That was because they were compelled to stand most of the way. During all this time their consciences, they said, had troubled them and they got no rest; they had returned the money with interest. Mr. Smith refused to take the money, but Dr. J. P. Baker, head of the Associated charities, who happened in Smith's office at the time, confiscated the money for that purpose. DEER ATTACKS POSTMAN. Herd Within Three Miles of Pennsylvania Town. Huntington, Pa.-Clark Smith, the oldest rural route agent attached to the Huntington postoffice, met with a spitred attack from a big buck deer while on his return trip a few evenings ago within three miles of this place. A herd of six does, led by a large buck, had been feeding in a mountain meadow and were about to emerge into the open highway just as Smith was driving leisurely past. His horse, a calico colored bronco, seemed to have aroused the ire of the buck, which leaped a fence and attacked the bronco by rearing up and endowing to strike it with its forelegs when it was whip vigorously on the deer. The bronco took fright and finally drew itself and driver to a place of safety. A herd of ten deer, including one elk, has been seen by a farmer at the further end of Smith's route. DREAMED ABOUT SNAKES. Then He Woke Up to Find a Three Foot Rattler in His Room. Altoona, Pa. — George Meritts of Franklinville, Huntington county, topped in the throes of a frightful nightmare and dreamed of rattlesnakes. In bed with Meritts was Samuel Alley of the same place. When Meritts came to himself he still believed himself dreaming, for a hideous rattle sounded in his ears. Alley also heard it. The frightful whirl maintained a steady cadence, and both men were then aware that a rattlesnake was in their room. Having no light hand, then were imprisoned in their bed for some time. Finally a match and lantern were procured. The snake, more than three feet long, with seven rattles and a button, was coiled in the center of the floor. It was killed. WANTS TO GET OUT OF JAIL Amandus Kessler's Plea to Join Marine Corpa Likely to Go Unheeded. New York—Because he is a good porch climber, rifle shooter, and has other marked accomplishments, Amandus Kessler wants to get out of jail at Eston, Pa., and become a fighter for Uncle Sam in the ranks of the United States marine corps, according to an appealing letter addressed to the marine recruiting station in this city. Amandus wrote several pages in his patriotic outburst and promised to use his influence to awaken his fellow prisoners to the call of the flag if the marines were to awaken him and get him out. Although the young man climbed to be a good, "healthy feller" important in his morals are not in the same flourishing condition, so Amandus and his palms must languish in prison while the marine corps remains heartless but uncontaminated.

C., for Obeying the First Law of Nature—Self Protection. The Abbeville lynching was personally investigated, on the ground, by Roy Nash. Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the following is his report: New York, Nov. 22. Governor-Grich I. Manning, of South Carolina, as a result of the recent lynching of Anthony Crawford, at Abbeville, has taken a stand which promises to clear the name of his State of the stigma in the institution of his predecessor, the notorious Cole Blease. Governor Manning, in a statement given out to the press on the day before election, says: "I was out of the State when the Abbeville lynching occurred. As soon as the police arrived at the courthouse at which the Cooper and Sheriff R. M. Burts of Abbeville to the office and called on Coroner F. W. R. Nance of Abbeville County to comply with the law and furnish me with a copy of the testimony of the coroner inquest. I found that the coroner inquest, but took no testimony. editorial, pointed out that in view of the exodus of Negro labor from the South to northern industrial fields and the approach of the boll weevil, South Carolina's problem was to keep her colored men instead of serving them in the courthouse at which industrious or successful they might be, their case was absolutely hopeless. It so convinced the business men of Abbeville that they had lynched their own pocket-books, that on November 6 another meeting was held to discuss the following resolutions they were unanimously passed: "We the citizens of the city of Abbeville, in mass meeting assembled, do hereby express in unqualified violent acts of certain persons committed in our community, and the "Solicitor Cooper and Sheriff Burts came to my office and I requested them to secure the names of all parties connected with this affair, those who took part in the whipping, in the takeover, in the lynching, and all those who were at the meeting reported to have been held on the following Monday. I have requested Solicitor Cooper and Sheriff Burts to make a complete investigation of the North from the names of the names of all parties concerned and to swear out warrants and arrest them. "I intend to do everything in my power to uphold the law and let the offenders know that such acts will not be tolerated, and that those guilty of the crimes should be prosecuted. I have requested Solicitor Cooper as the State's representative and Sheriff Burts as the highest peace officer in the county, to leave no stone unturned in order to vindicate the law and all those who were guilty of the guilty ones to justice." The lynching referred to occurred on October 21 in one of South Carolina's most beautiful and progressive cities. Anthony Crawford, the victim, was shot by a white storekeeper over $20,000. He got into a row with a white storekeeper named Barksdale over the price of cottonseed. It is reported that Mr. Barksdale called him a liar and Crawford cursed him by saying he was a thief. He ran out to give Crawford a beating with an ax handle. He was saved from this by a policeman who arrested Crawford and took him to the municipal building, but when they let him go, Crawford again went after him again intent on punishing him for daring to curse a white man. "The day a white man hits me is the day I die," Anthony Crawford once said to a friend. When he saw the crowd coming after him, he went in the room of the gin, picked up a four-pound bottle, waited. The first man who came at him, McKinney Cann, received a blow in the head which fractured his skull, but someone hurled a stone which knocked out Crawford before he reached anyone else. While he was down, he kicked him until they thought they had finished him, when they permitted he sheriff to arrest the unconscious Crawford on condition that he would not take his prisoner out of town until they knew what Cann could live or die. Cann wasn't hurt as badly as they thought, but not yet as the mob went to the jail of four years' old Earnon, took their keys and guns away from the sheriff and jallor, dragged Crawford through the streets of the Negro quarter with a rope around his neck, hung his mutilated to the pine tree at the entrance to the ground, and expended a couple of hundred rounds of ammunition at it. On Monday a meeting was called in the Abbeyville courthouse at which the sons and daughters to order the sixteen families and daughters to attend their families to abandon their $20,000 home and get out of the State by Nov. 11. In meeting this meeting the mob proceeded to clash up all the Negro shops in Abbeyville. The Columbia State, in a powerful GOD GIVE US MEN God give us men! A time like this demands Strong minds, great hearts, true faith and ready hands; Men whom the lust of office does not kill; Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy; Men who possess opinions and a will; Men who have honor—men who will not lie; Men who can stand before a demagogue And damn his treacherous flatteries without winking!

It so convinced the business men of Abbeville that they had to send the case to November 6 another meeting was held in the court-house at which the following resolutions were unanimously passed: "We, the citizens of the city of Abbeville, are meeting assiduously do hereby express our disapproval of the recent violent acts of certain persons committed in our community, and the spirit of lawlessness that seems rife in the county, resulting in continued violence." "RESOLVED: That the Sheriff of Abbeville County, the Mayor of Abbeville, the Police Force, and every officer of the county and city, be urged to use every effort to enforce the law and to protect the citizens of the town county regardless of condition or color. "RESOLVED FURTHER: That we do hereby pledge ourselves as individuals to give to the officers of the law our physical support in maintenance. "RESOLVED FURTHER: That if it be necessary to carry out this determination that the aid of the State and Federal Government be called in order that every citizen may enjoy his rights under the constitution. "RESOLVED FURTHER: That a commissioner, as Chairman, be appointed for the purpose of ascertaining what can be done towards the organization of a local military company for the protection of the citizens of this county and for the protection of our in our midst. That this committee be empowered to act in the premises. "RESOLVED FURTHER: That EVERY CITIZEN OF THE TOWN OF ABBEVILLE BE ASSURED the protection of the men of this meeting as officers the laws of the state, and pursues only his own legitimate business. "RESOVLED FURTHER: That a meeting of the law-abiding citizens of Abbeville County be called to meet in this Court House on next Monday to discuss an organization for enforcing law in the county, and that every community in the county be represented at this meeting, and that steps be taken to show to the people of the state and Abbeville County the men of Abbeville County will defend the rights and protect the citizens of the community in the enjoyment of all rights guaranteed by the law."

The attendance of twelve men are to be appointed to have for their duties the furtherance of the ends sought by the meeting, by taking up with the citizens of the county the matters discussed and endorsed during about a proper understanding between the people of the county, and a due observance of the laws of the land." As a further guarantee that the Crawford family is to be defended in their right to live in South Carolina and enjoy the property accumulated by three generations, Governor William W. Mitten, Mr. Garald Garrison Villard, viewed the National Association for the protection of Colored People as follows: "I realize the gravity of this offense and am determined to do everything in my power to bring the offenders to justice. I have called on the Sheriff of Abbeville County to take the necessary steps to prevent any unlawful action with regard to the expulsion of the family of Crawford. I am giving serious consideration to this matter with a view to making recognition of the Legislature, so as to be able to deal with such conditions when they arise." ```markdown ``` WEEK'S RECORD OF HAPPENINGS IN MINNESOTA'S CAPITOL.

With the newspapers telling of deaths of men throughout the world by thousands every day, we have become so callous-minded that we pay little attention to the ravages of the Grim Monster, until he invades our home or our circle of friends and acquaintances, and then we but faintly realize what is taking place. However, death at anytime is sad to contemplate and so it was in the case of Mr. James Taylor, who died on Tuesday of last week at the St. Paul hospital after a short illness. The deceased was born in Lexington, Ky. 58 years ago. He came to St. Paul about thirty years ago, and worked as a Pullman porter. He worked hard and saved his money and a few years ago he bought an interest in the Ameclub, a social organization located at 107 E. Third street, of which he was president at the time of his death. On November 15 the deceased went to the St. Paul hospital to be operated upon for some internal troubles. The operation was successful, but compulsory treatment took Tuesday, Dec. 5, fully conscious to the end. After the operation he realized that he would live long and one day when his barber, Mr. S. W. Williams, went to the hospital to shave him he told Williams that he had no hope of recovery and that he wished him to take charge of his remains and his PETER H. worldly effects and arrange for his funeral. He stated that he wished to have his funeral preached at Memorial Baptist church by the pastor Rev. E. H. McDonald. Just the day before his death he had a willed drawn by Lawyer Doty bequeathing his earthy possessions equally to his two younger brothers, "Ky" Taylor, residing at Cincinnati, Ohio, and Edward Taylor, residing at Indianapolis, Ind. Mr. "Ky" Taylor, the brothers, was present at the funeral but the other brother, Edward, was sick and would not come. The deceased was a backyard resided at 28 E. Third street. He was a staunch Republican from principle and was a true raceman. He was president of the Fourth Ward Republican club. He had accumulated an estate consisting of cash in the State Savings Bank amounting to $1,093.00, an insurance policy of $240.00, an interest in the Acme Club and considerable jewelry and personal property, the value of which is not definitely known. The deceased was a charter member of Gopher Acme No. 105, I. O. E. W, and under its own管役 his funeral was held at Memorial Baptist church Friday of last week at 2:30 p. m. There was quite a large audience present, including the members of Gopher and Acme lodges. The ritualistic service of the Elks was conducted by Exalted Ruler, George W. Stewart, who also, as requested by the deceased, made a few obituary remarks. Thanatopsis was recited by W. R. Morris, Past Exalted Ruler of Ames Lodge. A splendid sermon was preached by E. H. McDonald, who had been with the deceased in his last hours. Music was furnished by the choir of the church. There were numerous floral rultes. The funeral was directed by Lyles, interment at Oakland. The palbearers were: Messrs. W. A. Yeiser, Walter Root, L. E. Turpin, Edward Gray, James Hyde and W. N. Corneal. Tel. Dale 5050 We Catt and Deliver A.

White, 2832 Fifth avenue south, celebrated her birthday by giving a B birthday Silver Tea for the benefit of St. Thomas Mission building fund, which was quite a success socially and financially. There were several piano selections and also a "church query" that proved to be quite interesting and instructive. A toured the interest of many to better fit themselves with the knowledge pertaining to the things they ought to know about their church. The fact was pointed out why we made thunders, lack of information, etc. The silver tea brought to the minds of many how to raise money for the church, even over money by public dances which have been stopped by the higher head of the church. After the program a delicious luncheon consisting of creamed chicken in patties, sandwiches, olives, coffee, tea and candies. This entertainment was such a success that it was voted to continue them and the next will be an Epiphany Party on Jan. 8th at the residence of Mrs. Frank Terry, 3812 First avenue south. ```markdown ``` Wait for the Second Annual New Years Matinee Dance Given by the Y.

The first annual anniversary of the opening of Union Hall, which was held at Union Hall last Monday night, did not attract the crowd that the occasion warranted, though there was a fair sized audience present. The prize oratorical contest which was staged proved to be one of the best things that ever happened in St. Paul, and those who did not hear it missed a very delightful treat. The contestants were Miss Edith Gillard, Mrs. Pearl Bellesen, Mrs. Ethel Howard-Maxwell, St. Paul, and Miss Eva B. Walker of Minneapolis. The titles of the orations were: "The Negro-Americans Original Contribution to Music," Miss Hard; "The Women and Mrs. Bellesen; "Get the Habit," Mrs. Maxwell, named to Anchor Where?" Miss Walker.

The judges selected were Mrs. Lillian Turner, of the University of Minnesota; Miss Florence Curtis, of the University of Illinois; Mr. William Smith, chief of night division, Minneapolis Postoffice, who passed upon delivery and gave the percentages as follows: Miss Gillard 88; Mrs. Bellesen 60; Mrs. Maxwell 60; Mrs. Wagner 16; the prizes were: $10 to Mrs. Wagner, to Mrs. Maxwell, Miss Mayne Gohn had a walk-away in the ticket-selling contest as her opponent scarcely made a showing.

The tree will be forty-five feet high. It will stand in the Auditorium and will be decorated with hundreds of vari-colored lights. There also will be a musical program, arranged by Miss Elsie M. Shawe, teacher of music in the public schools. Santa Claus will be at the tree to greet the children. Boy Scouts to Help. A different plan of distributing the stockings from that used last year will be carried out. The distribution will be in charge of Boy Scouts, and each child will have to be in a seat to receive a stocking. Chairman Stone announced yesterday that the St. Paul City Railway company will carry the children free to and from the Auditorium that afternoon. "THE FROLICS OF 1917." While the chorus of "The Prolics of 1917" the attraction at the Star theatre next Sunday, Dec. 17, is considered to be one of the prettiest singing and dancing bunch of girls on the circuit, the performance does not depend entirely on them. The cast of principals has been carefully selected from many applicants for the different parts by Jean Bedini and Arthur Connolly, who are jointly responsible for the staging of the two funny burlesles, "It Happened in Paris" and "A Ragtime Harem." Heart Connolly, "the little tad," will assume the principal comedy part, while Miss Lillian Lippman has the prima donna role bestowed upon her. They will be ably assisted by Miss Trike Taylor, a little soubrette, new to the burlesque field, Miss Gladys Sears, Frank Wesson, Jim Hazelton, Al Raycob, and the "Fam-Stampede Girls" Chorus," who have created considerable favorable roles in the solo will include the Four Haley Sisters. Extra attractions: Gladys Sears, Dummeine; Raycob & Hazelton, the talkative ones in a comedy bit "Joining the Lodge." A special attraction and one that is creating a lot of talk and providing unlimited amusement is "Fred La Reine & Company, assisted by Miss Mabel Schelb, The Human Dynamo," in the laugh provoking possibilities of electricity.
