our room and put in our bed for about
half an hour before we retire, so as to
giUe the animals good feed!

meeting at the Salvation meeting.
Green apples have appeared in market,
and they are awfully green, too.
Some of the young men are talking OF
forming bicycle club here. Got up
this morning and found cow contented-
ly nipping the grass in our yard. Looked
all around for Stiff1er, but had to drive
her out for nothing. The cruel Consta-
bles refuse to listen to the philanthropic
proposition to refund portion of the
seventy-five cents collected as a penalty
for the COWS. 49,. AT the Salvation Army
meeting tonight the commander started
out into the crowd drumming up re-
cruits, and tackled several old church
members with the question "Are you

The Little 10 Band came out on the
streets tonight and played some excel

treatment. but square manly action will
win, every time. The boys have hosts
of good friends. 80. The Army went
to the residence of Mr.. L. A. Caudle this
evening and held the preliminary service.
..... The Band, a street-huckster, and
the Army, made things lively this even
ing. .....The Valley House is being
painted. ..... Our observation is that it
would be quite refreshing if the next
street-man who comes along would learn
a new story or two, and new joke or
two. "A number of little boys in the
west part of town are in the habit of
playing Salvation Army" by getting a
number together, singing songs, and
mocking prayers. This is fun for the
boys, but some of them are big enough
to know better than that and ought to be
visited with few hallelujah shingles.
Such conduct is entirely out of place. -.
