guest und HH u result the oiniity hnll
over the butcher shop of Sehoir/.el & .
Apfel was crowded from the curly
hours of the evening until the dawn
of another duy had como peeping In
lit the windows this morning.
Kor fully eight shoit mid Intensely
nilithful hourfl Sam's friends , to the
cheering music of radiuiK , rousing ,
rollicking ran ( line which wan lorn
out by the holt , danced and swung and
jigged and danced again , enjoying the
pleasure of ( ho Now Yoar'n event with
ever Inoroiisliig ardor and becoming
even nioio unwilling than ever to
Icnvo the Bcc-no of tholr moiTy-nwUlng
when the morning factory whistles
begun to blow and the rumbling racket -
ot of premature milk wagons upon the
silent Htroot , came echoing up the
narrow stairway and Into the roomful
of fun.
The Supper.
At 0 o'clock ( he guests begun to ar
rive. At 10 there woto more and
shortly afor midnight ( ho hall WIIH
packed to overflowing For at I
o'clock Ham had announced a mag
nificent supper which wan served grat-
nltously to all his guests and It was
u goon one for sure. There was every
thing to eat Unit yon could ( hlnk of
juid other things besides , rerhaps
the feature most enjoyed was ( ho
heaping canfnl of choicely spiced
"snaps" that had been Imported by
the Norfolk Chinaman for this partic
ular occasion , and which , being the
\vhlskoy of ( ho orient , tasted < uilto as
good to the copper colored cltt/.enand
his friends as any Kentucky flavored
liquor that was ever turned out of a
Jug.
After siippor the crowd began to
dance again and It was afor 5 ( his
morning before tney had oven thought
of going homo. Sam shows them so
much of real enjoyment that they'd
like to die n'danclng.
The square dance predomlnataod.
Not many of those present take keen
pleasure In-tho round dance and It
Is generally with ati able caller to
maneuver the set of eight that they
are In their most ecstatic state.
The Guests.
Among those present wore Mesdames -
dames Sadlo Do Hlolfie , Molllo Ship
man. Kills , Blair and Johnson ; then
there wore Charlie .lackson , Al Johnson -
son , Los , Mallory and Otis Shlpnmn ,
Allen Galnos , Bonnlo Dlxon , Georg"
Dlxon , Albert Do Blolso , Charles Kills
and Add lllanston , who came from
Omaha.
Sadlo was gowned In a striking pat
riotic effect with red , white and blno
stripes running longitudinally upon
It. After the ball had boon started
going. Sadlo stopped np to the musi
cians In a qulot manner and requested
that they next play a round dance.
Charllo Jackson thought a waltz would
bo bettor but Sadie called the laugh
on him right there. "What on earth
Is a round dance , " she said , "If It Isn't
a waltz ? " And Charllo had to admit
that Sadie had the better of the argu
ment.
Al Johnson Talked.
Al Johnson was n little late In com
ing. Al seemed seriously Inclined at
first and Instead of entering Into the
mirth ho went ever ( o ono side of ( ho
hall and began ( o ( alk earnestly to a
friend. Sadlo couldn't stand for that.
"Al Johnson , " says she , "You has got
to dance. "
"Ah. I'm talkln' . " says Al.
"Now this Is a jollitlcatlon. " Insisted
Sadie. "And yon can do your talkln'
tomorrow. "
So Al got into the game.
Sam Goon doesn't do any dancing
himself. Hut ho Isn't like the follow
who wouldn't lot other people enjoy
the light fantastic gliding. He Is a
true Chinaman , too , and that is why
ho likes to give the world a good time
upon the occasion of his Now Year's
day.
The Custom.
On Now Year's the Chinaman , says
Sam , shakes hands with nil the world
and forgets the bitter past. Upon
that date ho begins life anew and all
debts which remain unliquidated then ,
remain In that alarming condition for
nil time to como.
When they get up In the morning ,
good Chinamen go around the city and
greet everybody they meet luen.wo
men and children in a Joyous way
And If any fellow owes another , he
bunts up the creditor to square the
account lest he shall bo doomed for
the deed.

Was Unfair.
Complaints have been entered upon
certain feature of the seat-sale which
was conducted by the Reno show last
night. Ono prominent citizen of South
Norfolk has a bit of criticism to offer.
Ho says the attraction was advertised
at 15 cents for children. Ho sent two
children up and they wore taxed 25
cents each. They had to wnllc all the
way back homo over n mile against
the cold wind to get the extra change
and when they returned to the theater
they found that such a roar had been
made that the 15 cent rate had been
put on.
