A Town Without a Christmas.
That was Franklin, Nebraska on
Christmas day. An epidemic of ty
phoid fever is raging there and ev
ery effort is being put forth to quell
it. The board of health is enforc
ing the strictest rules of quarantine.
No child under fifteen is allowed on
the street. No children thronged the
toy simps, no Christmas trees were
trimmed, there were no entertain
ments for the little folks at the
churches. The merchants stored
away their supply of holiday goods
and the re was none of the joy and
happiness that usually characterizes
} Christmas.

As lias been the custom of the
: Church for ages and a custom fol
lowed in lliis city for many years,
I there was a choral celebration of
■
the Holy Eucharist at St. Thomas
1 Episcopal church Christmas eve. As
usual the church was filled, for many
| whoare not communicants, make a
point of attending the midnight ser
vice on Christmas Eve for its beauty
and solemnity. The church was dec
orated with beautiful Christmas
greens and lighted throughout with
candles, no other artificial light
being used. Special music was sung
by the large vested choir the Agnus
Del sung by Roy Fairchilds and the
offertory by Miss Tanner and Miss
Taylor being exceptionally good
The short address of the rector.
Rev. Nelde, was very good and dwelt
somewhat with the disappointments
or failures of former Christmas days.
The absent ones who seem more
real and nearer to us at this sea
son the very present opportunity of
the present Christmas to make others
happier bv overcoming past disap
I pointmonts and by making a special
i effort in memory of the birth of the
I
I Christ Child whose life was all love
| and sacrifice to brighten and make
I happier for some one this happiest
day of all the year.
It was a beautiful service through
| out and its beauty and solemnity left
with all the feeling of "Peace on
Earihj Good Will Toward Men.”
Ankle Broken in Runaway.

| Emma and Irma Duerfeldt were com

the team and they ran away. Miss j
Amanda, who was driving was thrown
out and was kicked by the mule
though not seriously hurt. She was
bruised from the buggy running over

Emma had her left ankle broken and
one bon© dislocated. She was taken

Christmas Entertainments

the sleigh never, was before. IJe
was most liberal and left abundant
treats and gifts at the churches
and homes fpr children and grown
folks alike.

to all the children. It was a happy
assembly and will long be remember
ed bv those present.
A musical program was given at
the Evangelical church by the mem
bers of the Sunday School. It was
particularly interesting and was at

the children and all were made hap
py by beautiful gifts and bags of
candy and nuts.
The congregation of the Christian
1 church still worship in the court
^ house and here on Christmas night

; a treat was given the children. There

I members of the Sunday School with
a quantity of candy, nuts and fruit
which was fully enjoyed.
At the Presbyterian church on
Christmas eve there was a very cn
tentaining cantata put on. "Crown
