JUVENILE TEMPLARs.- Mortified Juvenile Tenn
pie, No. l, held public meeting Saturday even
ing, April 9Th, at half-past seven o'clock, at the
Good Tempars' hall The house was crowded
and many went away for want of more seats and
ROOM Mrs. Carrie Persons, the superintendent
had charge OF the exercises during the evening
The Temple was opened and conducted in the
usual manner, with some triaing exceptions, and
emitting the secret part of the work Master
Walter Huntley was initiated in due form. The
membership of the Temple is composed Of chill
dren from five to sixteen years of age the secretary
being about ten years ofage and the marshal, who
conducted the candidate being eight or nine years
of age; but the officers performed the duties OF
their office with care and exactness The exer-
cses for the good OF the order were as follows
instrumental music, Gerte Pratt speaking,
Drink, Drink, Drink" Victor W. Boyden
Temperance speech Of a little boy" Clarence
Carpenter; reading, The Drunkard's Dream"
Gertie Smith; speaking, TON Roper" Helen Ken

Katie Richardson, Jessie Jones, Helen Kenyon
and Alice McClearn speaking, Inez Wardner
| and Alice McClearn; 1.-THE Rich mans table, -
Luther johnson; singing, " Jeremiah, Blow the
Fire." by Alice McClearn. Then followed farce
THE Greatest Plague in Life" by Helen Nc
Cearn, Mary McClearn, Nora Fuller, Minnie Grit
fn Mary Pratt, Gertie Pratt, Jennie Persons and
Lille Slack. The farce Is an excellent one and
was performed in manner that would have done
credit to professionals. The acting was natural,
| and none OF the reading tone or studied measured
manner OF acting, so often practiced by amateur
actors, was observable. The exercises were closed
| by singing piece entitled "We are Little Sun
beams" by Alice McClearn, Kittie Brooks, lnez
| Wardner Katie Richardson, Helen Kenyon, Susie
| Green, Luther Johnson Willie Persons and Clar.
ence Carpenter. The Temple was then closed in
| form. Where all did well, very well indeed, il
would be invidious to try to select and praise the
part taken by any one. Every word spoken in
the reading speaking or play could be heard in
| every part of the hall, and every piece was per
fecty committed to memory. Much credit is due
Mrs. Persons-the experimentation the care

shown in the Temple meeting and all parents
