ct MENT.
Ie The entertainment given by th
d Y. w. c. I. U. at the Opera Hous
o Tuesday night was quite well at
: tended and proved to be very en-
Ijoyable affair. The ladies having i
in charge had worked long and faith
fully in getting up the concert ant
, they deserve much credit for its sue
cess.
The exercises opened with Dairy
Maids Convention in which about
twenty young ladies took part. The
convention was called to order by
Miss Mary Feland and was thereupon
oganized by the election of Miss Al
bertine Wallis as President. This
young lady, who has clear and well
modulated voice, proceeded to state
the object of the meeting, and after
the selection of Secretary some en-
tertaining recitations were made by
the young ladies, who were all attir-
ed in costumes Of red and white with
red scoops" on their heads. Below
are some of the local hits:
THE HoPKINsviLLE MILK-MAIDs'
GREETING
was recited by Miss Kitty thinner:
lm amilk-maid Of Hopkinsyille city,
For milk, cream and butter the queen,
For herds of sleek Holsteins and Jerseys,
| From Radford's and Geo. V. Green,
ltsa treat assure you, Of the blues it will
cure you,
| To see the boys pour in a stream,
To u Y. W. 7. Supper to drink milk from
| dipper,
And invest half-a-dUllAr iu cream,
When fire breaks out Captain Twyman,
Aims the nozzle as high az a spire,
And while the town bell keeps ding -donging.
| With butter-milk puts out the fire,
Then ifs jolly and funny to see milk and honey,
Inundate the 1re scorrhed town,
While the pigs in the gutter as they swill milk
ana butter,
Grunt, 80 don't thoy do us up brown"
An Empress Of old when she lourneyed,
Drove nfty she -donkeys along,
Their milk was bath and cosmetic,
To make her sleek, supple and strong,
And | think some modern young donkeys,
Might improve their complexion and skin,
II they only would go and do likewise,
Nor soak their poor noses in gin.
Queen juno once owned heifer,
sweet-breathed and beautiful beast.
\ brown-eJ ed and fawn colOred Jersey,
Worth Xix hundred dollars at least,
One evening that COW kicked the bucket,
And then she jumped over the nom,
The Milky Way streamed down the heavens,
You can akim -it-to- night with spoon.
We've had, so I'm told, an election,
"CaIro," ELLEN N" and 80. ""
We can ride TO New York or Chicago.
or southwark run down to the sea,
And II drOughts ever dry Little River,
And threaten a shortage OF steam,
| Wen grease locomotives with butter,
And the water tanks Ill up with cream.
A toast to Miss Jennie Cassidy,
founder of the Fower Mission of
Louisville, who has taken a great in
terest in the society here, was recited
by Miss Mary Feland.
Here's to her whose sweet couch Of afiiction
Caused the Flower Mifs!on garden 10 bloom,
And hallowed like Christ's benediction
The einvalid's chamber OF gloom.
The blessings Of heaven be waited
On the angels who do good by stealth,
And so, with full goblets uplfted,
We drink Jennie Cassldys health.
Then came "The Washington Dairy
Queens" by Miss May Anderson.
-Four years in the Washington dairy
"ouR FRANKIE has stabbed her COW;
Her milk was worth hundreds OF millions
It's Mrs. Ben Harrison's now.
Thus the wheel Of Dame Fortune keeps
turning,
She changes the world at her wiz;
But over our boat one nag thalI still float,
And Providence pilot us still.
FRARKIE shall have our fond adeu,
Tho pure, the beautiful, the truo
Though flom the White House she departs
Wen shrine her in our heart OF hearts.
May she who follows on the stage
Write wo,uanhood as fair page,
The pattern OF spotless life,
Heavens last, best gift, the Model wife.
Miss Ida Belle Donaldson perpe-
trated the following: tt
The Hopkinsylle dairy is booming,
The ice of monopoly IS broke,
The Commercial Clubs humming-the o.v.is
coming,
And you owe me n V for this joke.
This by little Mary Anderson,
aged five years, with a sucking bottle.

II had bu,hel of money
I'd put this old thing on the shelf,
I'D buy me new cedar bucket
And milk whole COW for myself.
