A reminiscence notes a humorous scene with Santa Claus at a Sunday school event for Americans and Hawaiian children. It contrasts the cheerful mischief with a brief mention of Abyssinia and its meat being eaten warm from live cattle. The item then shifts to a Montana mining notice dated January 6, 1899, detailing annual labor expenditures on several quartz lode claims in Silver Bow County and warning co-owners to contribute their share within ninety days, otherwise losing ownership to the remaining co-owners.
