wlmtlhey Called an Old Time Dance laa
Snttii day, and to any that it was a howl
ing aurcesa does not do it justice. The
old braves nnd their partners were
supposed to have charge and the
old time dances and tunes were the
features ot llie evening, but even then
there was a fairly large mi in her of j oung
bucks aud eveu papooses who had their
war paint on. tieorge Fowler was
the ruling spirit on the IV wr and he
can Rive any one in this neighborhood
pointers on the dunces that were in style
years ng). He showed the boys how to
dance a number of them that they had
never even heard the names of before.
T. C. Watts and J. W. Armstrong never
missed ft dani'o all evi nint,', an I it was
their boast at 12 o'clock that despite the
slick Hour none of the old timers had
fallen down. Iho Goble Lodje of Red
Men is a live organization and has a rep
utation for giving enjoyable dances.
Christmas presents for nothing is the

The City Council were to have held
their first meeting iu the new city hall

fact that Mr. Quick was Out of town
and Mr. Lake unable to attend there
was no meeting and the first gathering
of the City fathers in the new chambers
a ill be next Monday. The Council
loom is large and well adapt- d to the
needs of the city. It is now well
furnished and at acme data in the near
future a fire prjof thfe will be put in

All is buzzing in the Sunday- school.
Not a small part of the interest is due to
the prospective Christmascntertninment.
The children and young people aie busy
prneticingsongs and recitations. Frieuils
of the tchool have been very liberal in
contributing funds. This, together with
an especially fine program, will doubtless
insure one of the best Christmas 'enter
tainments) in the history of St. Helens.
The committee is not prepared to make
a full announcement af plans until next
week, but deems it advisable to state
that tho tiee is not to 1 a public clear
ing house for piesents. Only gifts of
classes to teachers, teachers to pupils,
or the Sundav-si hoot to pupils wiii be
permitted. The tree is to be for the
children exclusively.

And then the eats--well, one prominent

it was the first "square" he had had for
I a month. It was evident that the Aid
believes that ft pleased customer is its
best advertising. The ladies unite in
thanks to their Iriends for thr'r hearty
co-operation.
