A Big Load.
Ench Koy and girl at Chemawa was re
membered by Sinta Claus X-mas eve with
a big sack of candy, nuts etc, and one or
more nice presents, excepting some big,
boys who disgraced themselves and the
school by bad conduct and were therefore
spending their Xmas in Meditation Hall.
So Santa Claus desires all to know that he
gives presents to only the good boys and
girls and he brought with him 555 sacks
of candy, nuts, oranges, pop corn etc, and
about 1500 presents to the Chemawa boys
and girls. Old Santa is all right.
An excellent sermon by the Rev. Mr,
Elliott, of Salem, was given in the clrtpel
ou Sunday evening, The subject "Happ!
ness" was peculiarly appropriate for the
time, and seajon and was handled by Mr.
JEiliott iii his usual forceful earnest and
interesting manner. The Rev. Mr. Elliott
has won the hearts of all the Chemawa
boys and girls and they, as well as the
many employes who listen with cl se atten
tion to this reverend gentleman's discourses
feel more ready for the battle of life and
more anxious to live a purer and better life
after an hour spent listening to his helpful,
enabling and encouraging words.
