delay In getting them out. Yesterday

delivery this morning. The carriers
have worked hard and they will be

CilSPS CAROLS CI
MM m Hi
GIRLS SING ON THE STREETS
BEFORE DAYBREAK AND
PLEASE MANY.
Scoret of people were awakened in
the residence districts early Christ
mas morning by the sounds of Christ
mat carols lustily and tunefully sung
out on the streets by feminine voicss,
and doubtless many have wondered
who "the girls were who dared the
dark and the gale for this delightful
diversion, Beautiful were the carols,
and perhaps they seemed all the
finer because of their setting in the
dark hours before dawn of the stormy
holiday morning. From one street t
another marched the girls, singing as
they went, and many a man awakened
'to growl because of the disturbance ti
'his sleep, but stopped to listen at the
beauty of the songs.
Just who the girls were in the
party hat not been clearly told. It
seems the members of the "Wicky
Wicks" that may not be spelled just
sight were at the bottom of the plan.
The singers in several of the church
choirs had promised to take part in
the early morning carols, but it seem
ed that most of those who intended
to go only turned over and entered
into another long nap when they
heard the wind and the rain. The
rendezvous was the corner at the
First Presbyterian church, and from
there the singers went merrily from
one place to another about the resi
dence part of town.
At all events the plan seems both
beautiful and fine, and perhaps next
Christmas again there may "be carols
sung sweetly about town before the
day breaks.
Christtruu At St Mary'r-
One of the merriest Christmat tree
parties in all the city was that given
at St Mary's hospital on Christmas
night, and every patient in the big
home was remembered in one way or
another. The tree was set up in the
old men't room and was prettily deco
rated. Charlet Anderson, the steward
of St. Mary's, acted as Santa Claus,
and both in form and jollity he mad:
an ideal one. To the old men and
others in the hospital who have no
hornet of their own and no' kin folk to
care for them, presents of substantial
quality were given, like suits of un
derwear, socks, and the like. Those
who were unable to come downstairs
to the tree had their gifts brought to
them. Before the entertainment t
the tree there was music on the or
gan, and a song, "Ring the Bells For
Christmas," in which all joined, young
and old. Sister Andrew, the Superior,
wishes to thank all those who remem
bered the hospital very 'gratefully.
While the gifts to the hospital were
not very numerous they were very
good, and were all highly appreciated.
Guessing Contest
The guessing contest at the Water
man store on West Commercial street
ended in prices going to two persons,
Miss Margaret Laws and to John
Lindstrom, a boy, who lives at 2353
Cedar street. The prize of a beautiful
doll was offered to the one that guess
ed nearest to the number of shot fn
a tumbler. In the tumbler were 2063
shot; Miss Laws guessed 2036, and
the boy guessed 2060, his guess being
within three of the number. But in
looking over the written slips an er
ror was made in relation to his guess;
he had written his street address more
prominently than the number of his
guess, and hence by Inadvertance his
street number was taken as his guess
and the prize awarded to Miss Laws.
Later the error ' in the Lindstrom
guess was discovered and then he,
too, was giveiva prize.
