Fraternity Primary.

/ went up into the Primary Hall the other
night where one of the officer of Company
A was drilling squad Of little boys Com
pany B has been in training only short
time, but the boys have already acquired
military carriage and their ragged clothes
hang on very erect figures. The drill hall is
a bare room, with nothing attractive about it
except stove, around which a group of
larger boys was gathered. They did not
make much noise but their talking distract
ed the attention of the little boys from their
work. Presently the drill master asked me
if l would not send the big boys away that
he might have the entire attention of his
company. told them they must go some
where else, but when they asked me
"Where?" had no answer for them. They
could not be sent into the amusement room,
whose toys they had outgrown, for that was
crowded with younger boys, and it seemed
hard to tell them to go home, for some OF
them had practically no homes to go to, and
would only wander about the streets.
AS | saw those poor boys huddlcd around
the stove, which they were SO reluctant to
leave, and remembered how little that was
good came into many of their lives, wished
that we had a pleasant room into which to
invite them, where they might lind some OF
the comfort and harmless enjoyment which
most boys have in their own homes. The
primary boys have not generally much apti-
tude for study, but they are hard working
and intelligent, and if we can keep them
under good influence for few years longer,
ought to become respectable men. There is
an old paint shop opening from the drill hall,
and if the friends Of the Fraternity win help
us we can make it into pleasant sitting
room for the boys. The walls and floor are
stained, so mating and paper are neces-
sary, and we want to furnish it with chairs,

The Nicaragua Canal expedition, which
sailed from New York under the command
of Portland engineer, Lieut.. Peary, a few
weeks ago, has safely arrived at Greytown,
and received most enthusiastic welcome.

Peary replied in glowing terms. He said
that in his opinion the day was not far dis

propellers bearing the golden commerce of
the world through the Bosphorus Of Ameri-

was decorated with every available form and
color of bunting. Upon the housetops, and
even from the summit of many tall cocoanut
trees, as well as on every donkey cart in the
place, the Stars and Stripes fluttered in the
breeze alongside of the Blue and White of
Nicaragua. Every little negro waved his
