I! FOR THE KIDDIES
f TOMORROW NIGHT
[ It was a rather early hour, one
morning recently, and Central turn
j ed sleepily to quiet the “buzzer”
jand say “Number?" But that
drowsiness, so natural to a long
! night's vigil at the "board", quickly
j cave way to thorough wideawake
! ness when Central observed that the !
i call had come from the bachelor,
I quarters; for she knew that some-!
I thine of unusual importance must1
| have taken place. No amount of
! conjuring with that magic inquiry, j
j “Number?" could elicit a response, j
A perfctly normal curiosity was!
greeted by a medley of voices in j
interested discussion, yet no voicej
seemed to be appealing directly to |
the telephone for service. “I won
der what’s the matter with those
poor motherless ginks over there!
The racket they're making sounds
like somebody was wanting to ‘plug
: in’ on Morningside.”
There being no other calls for
service, and also being too late to
try to “catnap” any more before
the real day’s work should begin,
Central lent an ear to the bedlam
over where the bachelors were tell
ing their dreams of the approaching
Christmas: Bob was sure his dream
of a wide fireplace, and three pairs
of small stockings in a row. could
not be beaten by the dream of any
other bachelor in the bunch. But
Raeburn’s dream lengthened Bob’s
row by two more pairs, while Eli,
from the townsite office, came rush
I ing in all out of breath, exclaiming
“Lordy, boys! I'm glad it’s only three
more days ’till this bachelor Christ
mas doin’s is to come off. I just
waked up a dreamin’ that Ma and
me were fillin’ up ten pairs of little
stockin’s all festooned around my
old cabin out on the creek. It was
the jolliest dream ever I had, ’till
I remembered that there was only
one quarter of moose in the cache,
and Ma an^l me had invited all you
fellows out to dinner. Another
dream with an ending like that will
fix me for keeps, by gum!”
The forty-seven other dreams that
were told that morning would have
been repeated here, had not Central
also waked up before she had fin
ished rehearsing the whole affair
in her dreams the following night;
the other occupants of the telephone
dormitory being interested listeners,
yet being wholly unable to get an
other word.
Let everybody remember the big
i event in Union Hall on Tuesday
I night. The free show for the child
iren "'ill begin at the Coliseum at
;6:45. The program at Union Hall
>at 8:00, or immediately after the
I Coliseum performance. Everybody
| come and help celebrate a most de
lightful occasion.
The Coliseum will show a special
program for the benefit of the kids,
which will be as follows:
A selig Christmas production, en- j
titled “Three Wise Men” in three
acts of gripping interest.
' jj Metro Comedies presents Mr. and
Mrs. Sidney Drew, in “Henry’s
j! Christmas” in a one act screaming:
i' comedy.
i The Coliseum show will be over
i in ample time for the kids to go:
i to the entertainment and Christmas i
J tree at the Union Hall. The show ;
is free to the children.

j ing The shipment consisted of 20

The postoffice has been advised 1

_ !
j The Presbyterian and Episcopalian
j churches are having Christmas trees i
jfor the-children of their respective!
I flocks.
The usual mass sung at the Roman j
Catholic church every Christmas Eve
will not be sung this year, owing
to the fact that the high class music'!
rendered hitherto cannot now be!
arranged for, as most of the singers!
have left the town. This was an;
event looked forward to with much!
pleasure by the music loving Fair- '■
banksans, and a great many will j
miss the beautiful service of song. !
