A good looking lady passenger on an
east-bound passenger train the other
day went to the diner for breakfast.
Among the patrons of the hotel on
wheels was a prominent business man
of Alliance. The fair daughter of Eve
seemed to gain tho admiration of the
colored waiter who showed her every
courtesy. Suddenly she was overcome
by a severe case of fits and while in her
hysterical mood winked at the servant.
Sambo leaned over 6 see what be
might do for his fair guest he discover
ed the real situation, aad half scared
to death, ran into the next car declared
tliat. the Alliasce business man's, wife
was having ft "fit in de dinnah," It
was sohk) time before the Alliance
eefltlinn could cenviace tlm excited
crowd that the stranger bore no rela

Oseof the pte9int Christmas ob
servances to be held was that at the
school house in district No, 103, which
was uader the management c-f Me
dames 1'atmore, I. S, Johnson and D.
H. Briggs. Tite tree decorations were
unique and attractive. Christmas bells
and tho star of Bethlehem were most
conspicuous. The walls, too, were
beautifully festooned, and the breath
of holy Christmas time prevailed
throughout the room. Little Marguer
ite Briggs utilized her skill in forming
a motto which read, " Welcome."
This was framed with holly and as the
visitors entered they could not but be
attracted by its greeting. After the
baskets containing good things to eat
were auctioned oft and the time enjoy
ed eating supper at an end further
pleasure was found in tripping the light
fantastic toe till morn. Though far
away from town and nearest the heart
of nature, we believe those who at
tended the Christmas doings at this
.school houge enjoyed themselves as
any in the land.
