An incident that vas not down in the
program, bat when created perhap.
more thorough pleasure Tor a moment
occurred during the brief address oi
DR.. DOnnally. The gentlemen IN ~,
Introductory remarks, stated that ho
had been at loss for subject 10 talk
on, but had finally concluded 10 speak
OF a little man VINO climbed "A Tree
10 see Jesus a lie passed the road.
Then addressing himself 10 the
classes: "This little man did just what
many Of YOU boys did when Fore
paugh's show was IN town. You Were
little and feared that big people IN the
thTOng would crowd you away from
getting a view. - you went ahead OF
the procession and climbed INTO the
trees TO zee il. Now some of You know
and | want yOn 10 tell me, who tins lit
tie man was who climbed the tree?' A
long pause ensued, and no one seemed
bold or learned enough 10 venture
an answer, until just as the
speaker was about 10 resume,
a little fellow sitting down near the
front, thrust his little hand IN the air
and snapped his fingers 10 indicate that

pleasure as he waited for the answer,
but a change such as only can be
imagined came over his benign cOunten-
ance when the lad fairly shouted
Tom Thumb" Silence followed for
an instance, but when the ludicrOus-
ness OF thing dawned upon the vast
audience there was burst of laughter
IN which even the dignified clergy
themselves participated most heartily
One OF the most picturesque feature
of the entertainment was the recitation
of tiny Mabel Wolcott. She was only
years old and so little as 10 Toe
scarcely able 10 tOddle 10 the center OF
the platform. But she did her par'
bravely, and IN a voice 50 distinct "a I,
be heard throughout the church, and
when she finished She ran and Jumped
into her proud mothers arms, who
bore her oil 10 her seat, while tn,
audience could scarce restrain the ap
plause they felt the little midget
was justly entitled to.
