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. The program rendered by
the children of the Sunday school
classes was a fine one. It consisted of
songs, recitations, etc., one of the
features being the newsboy song. In
thi9 part a class appeared in tbe
ragged costumes of the newsboy,
carrying copies of The News and Post,
wbich they offered for sale. 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.

POLISHINCJ PETRIFIED WOOD.
Tom of It Are Shipped from Ariaoaa
to a Sooth Dakota Factory.
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. Sioux Falls Jour
