The priz t now on display in Brill's

masked, II, CO; ladies, masked, free;
unmasked persons, 11,00 per gentleman,

The Grand march will commence at 9
o'clock, sharp, and at about 10 30 the
dancers will unmask, at er which time
all nnraatked persons will be permitted
oq th* floor. The occheatra promises
new music ?nd have several novelties
up their sleeve the secret of which
th?>y will nut d'vulge.

and their friends, following the big
Christmas dinner a>"d the distribution
of presents from a bountifully laden

Power of Imagination.
Illustrating the strange power of the
Imagination, K. F. Benson, author of
"Dodo," tells this Incident: A doctor
he knew -had found It necessary to give
a patient for many evenings an Injec
tion of morphia to euable him to get
some sleep. After awhile the doctor
thought It advisable to stop the mor
phia. and for two nights his patient
was unable to sleep, owing to great
palu. On the third night the doctor,
being still uuwllllng to administer mor
phia. Injected plain water instead.
The man slept perfectly and awoke In
the morning with what Is known us
a morphine mouth.
