Let us look into the City Hall at half-past one, on the afternoon of Holy Innocents’ day, Decem- ber 28th, the most fitting day for this children’s feast. The gallery is reserved for those members of the club who have no work to do during that afternoon. But, besides these, no other specta- tors are admitted to the hall; no grown persons, | except the committees who are to assist during the festival in various ways. The stage sup- ports a lofty tree, decorated that morning by the mem! while, on tables behind, are heaped presents for six hundred children. Around the edge of the hall, settees have been placed for the guests, while the entire centeris converted into a banquet hall. irty long tables are loaded with all that ‘hristmas dinners the best_in the year. Ten plates are laid at each side of those tables. A lady is standing at the foot of every table; a member of the club stands at either side as “waiter,” to see that no guest lacks anything. Inthe anteroom, the reception committee, consisting of fifteen boys and fifteen girls, under the direction of a gentleman who has consented to take charge of the guests, await the arrivals. Looking down the broad staircase, we see the |lower hall filled with children, whose eager, upturned faces are reward enough for all the labor. Soon the six hundred have had hats and caps and cloaks safely checked, and are marshaled in AXE®'S PILLS ARE A CONVENIENT REMEDY to have always at hand.

Amon‘ the presents sent in was a large doll, handsomely dressed, to which was pinned this any little lame girl at tho festival, this a As the line wound along, a tender murmur gai through the hall, for there, leaning upon ‘crutches, came a lame girl, and every little | boy and girl whispered on the instant, “That doll is for her.” The children stood around the tables, the leaders taking their places at the head. The music:ans lay aside their instruments, Jandadeep quiet rests upon those ranks of children, as the pre lent of the club rises and extends the Christmas greeting of the Children’s Christmas Club to its guests. : After that, a clergyman took them back to that day, eightcen hundred and eighty-two years fe when the great and cruel King Herod sent out his decree that every child under two yeurs old should be put to death, and his exe- cutioners went ferth and slaughtered every one; itle CI child was saved.

The band then played gayly, and the guests who had waited so patiently and respectfully were invited to partake of the feast. E y plate had been previously filled with a generous supply of turkey or chicken, and eve table had an unfailing source of ham, tongue, pickles, cake. and pie, and for nearly an hour the little hosts and hostesses served their guests before conducting them to the settees awaiting them. You can Judge best whether the dinner was appreciated, by iny telling you of one little girl who, when asked if she preferred chicken or turkey, replied, “Taint nes tasted chicken;” and of the boy who put aside, ina little pile beside his plate, the nicest part. ot everything given him. When asked If he did not want to eat that, he looked up shyly. saying, “Please, may [carry that home to mother? She's sick.” While the children are marching around to their seats, those thirty tables disappear as if by t up by ready hands, leaving the r saines and amusements. vere the most eager faces—among the “men in the y of the “guests” about the hall?

Then a present is laid in every hand, and on goes the line down the steps atthe right, out into the dressing-rooms, and then home.

Go thou and do likewis —— Can Animals Reason? ‘From the Los Angeles Herald, The question, “Can animals reason?” has often been: asserted in the affirmative, as often dented, and is yet unsettied. There seems to be little doubt, however, that the most intelligent animals glo possess some reasoning powers, and not afew remarkable incidents have been re- lated of the sagacity of some ofthe domestic animals. A well known gentleman of thie city gives the following account of the cunning strategy ofa puppy to obtain a good dinner at the expense ofa party ofcats. The cats con- sisted ofa mother with afamily of four sturdy Kits, all possessing toan unusual degree of fierceness an intense antipathy for the canine race. The cats are regularly given a substantial meal of meat and other appetizing viands, to which, it is needless to say, puppy is not an In- vited guest. Any approaches on his part were warned off with savage growls and a liberal dis- play of claws—so for a time the poor dog looked on and enjoyed a sort of Barmicidal feast. But, when the other day the cats had a finer dinner than customary, puppy carefully considered the matter and determined to make a bold move and secure his share of the coveted victuals. Ac- cordingly he approached toa safe distance and then executed, with great rapidity, a flank moye- ment upon the enemy, and king suddenly in aunong the surprised’ cats, seized a portion’ of the meat, and, as only his rear end was presented tothe foe made off with the spoils without serious damage. Twice pup repeated the operation, and, although the somewhat demoralized cats made a vigorous attack upon him, his strategy ve boots, shoes, dresses, hoods, trousers nd jackeis—w iat. they needed to enable | company during meal hours. saved him. ‘Thus he secured a good meal by his | ingenuity, and the cats no longer object to. his | SECURE BAKER'S!
