wistful and trustful expression that indi
eated implioit confidence in her papa's
ability to interview Santa Clans with per
fectly satisfactory results. Trying to re
press the smile that struggled to the sur
face and only partly succeeding, the fath
er made answer "All right little one, I'll
tell him to-day yet." With her face
wreathed in smiles, and a fond pressure of
her papa's hand which was clasped in hers,
the little girl trotted along by his side
perfectly oontented. Gossip will venture
the assertion that the little one will not
only get her doll from Santa Clans but a
lot of other things besides—if she is a good
girl.— Ex.

The Charitable Elks.
A late writer in of one our magazines says
that one of the grandest sights he ever saw
—"a fight to make a man's nerves tingle.'
was a "herd of 250 bull elka collaotud to
gether on a grassy turf in the far north at
an elevation of 9,000 feet.''
He ought to see the herd of Butler Lodge
No. 170 collected together—not, perhaps,
so greatly elevated as the northern mon
archs, bat still intensly thrilling and pic
turesque; and he will be given au oppor
tunity of so doing. and also of seeing the
beautitul interior of the new Opera House
for the first time on next Wednesday even
ing the 23d inst. at which time and place
the Elks of Butler will, for the benefit of
their "Charity Fund"cau.-e to be pieseuted
on the stage the intetesting and popular
play known as
"A KSOTTT AKFAIR.''
which is now on the boards of the Chicago
Hay market and which will follow iu en
gagement here with one at the Alvin of
Pittsburg. It will cost the Lodge S6OO to
bring this troupe here, and they hope for
such a liberal patronage as will pay that
and leave them a balance for their Charity
Fund.
The tickets are now being so Id at $1
each, and the floor plans of the new Opera
bouse will be on exhibition at Heineman's
at 10 a. in. of next Monday. First come,
first served and no favors.
