A CHRISTMAS. Children of the Sunday Schools Give Entertainment. Song and Interesting Recitation ara the Order of Thing, and With Appearance of Santa Class the Children Have a Happy Evening Other New of In terest. A large audience assembled at the Presbyterian church Saturday even ing to witness the cantata, "An Even ing With Sania Ciaus," presented by the children of the Sunday school, under the directorship of Miss Flor ence White. The cantata is a very clever bit of musical comedy boys impersonating- several nationalities, dressed in native costume paying their respects to Santa Ciaus being a pleas ing feature. A troop of little boys dressed as "Brownies" were also most entertaining, the little folks entering into the spirit of fu, comporting them selves like the genuine article. Several beautiful solos and duets by the older pupils diversified the pro gram. Well acted selections from Motber Goose, noticeably the "stuffed pig," supposed to have been stolen by "Tom, the Piper's Son," "Jack and Gill" and "Little Bo Peep" made their apperance to the great delight of the children and the grown-up por tion of the audience. Miss Claire Dovey made a beautiful and graceful queen and sang very sweetly. The little folks all did remarkably well, and great credit is due Miss White, who presided at the piano, and also directed the stage presentation. Santa Ciaus was, of course, the center of attraction, and was quite at home in the role assigned him, singing a baritone solo most acceptably and dis pensing the baskets of eugar plums to the happy children, who dispersed de lighted with their evening's enter men t. At the Methodist Church. The Christmas services Saturday evening at the Methodist church were very elaborate, and the attendance was lage.

Margaret Waugh concluded the program with a solo, entitled "Good Night." Santa Ciaus then announced his presence in tbe gallery of the church by the ringing of bells. He made his way to the front amid a merry jingle, and presented each of the children with a sack of candy and 'an orange. This Santa' Ciaus was a very success ful one his make-up being considered almost perfect. German Presbyterian Church. While no Santa Ciaus appeared at this church, the large Christmas tree loaded with dainty presents made tbe hearts of tbe little ones glad. The children of the Suoday school classes also rendered a fine program Christ mas eve, which consisted of eongs and recitations. At the conclusion of the program, they were each presented with a good-sized sack of candy, nuts, eto. liav. liatz delivered a very ap propriate Christmas sermon yesterday morning.

The polishing works of this city Is now engaged on the stupendous job of getting out 11,000.000 worth of polished chalcedony, or petrified wood, to be taken to the Paris exposition. This petrified wood is hauled from Its na tive heath in Arizona, a distance of sixty-five miles, to a railroad, and then shipped to this city to Le cut and pol ished. It is shipped here in great logs and stumps, weighing many tons each. Just as they have lain for many ages during the process required by nature to turn the wood Into beautiful and variegated colors of stone. The pro cess of sawing the stone up in shape for polishing is most tedious, the huge machinery used for the purpose being able to saw only from an inch to three Inches a day into it. After being cut and polished the stone is worked up into every conceivable shape, from cuff buttons to tops for center tables and great columns, which cost a small for tune. The great exhibit which is to be made in Paris will be a wonderful advertisement for Sioux Falls, for the reason that nowhere else on earth Is there machinery miniircth. yet deli cate enough to saw, polish ;ind put Into dhape the variety of articles that will be on exhibition.
