Their duty, almost their whole duty,
is preliminary. Of course, as hosts,
they must look after the comfort and
pleasure of the delegates after they ar
rive, and plan excursions for them and
help them in seeing the sights during
their stay, but they do not concern
themselves about the exercises con-
nected directly with the convention it
self. This is all arranged for them.
And 50 today the Washington com
mittee of '96 is hard at work organiz-
ing the different auxiliary bodies
which are necessary in such an under
taking as preparing for an internadon-
al convention of Christian Endeavor
societies; and just as diligently the
the program committee of the United
Society is laboring over the details or
the program Even the musical .di-
rectors are selected by the Boston au-
thorities, although the choruses which
they will lead are to be composed of
local voices. Last year Percy s. Foster.
was one of the three musical directors
of the convention, and it is very prob
able that he will again be chosen to a
like position in the coming convention.

TEACHINGS OF FB0EBEL.
What Is Being Taught at the Kinder
garten Club.
Score ofWoman Interested in the Work
of the Great misunderstanding
IN Emma Hail.

What is the first plaything you
gave the baby? A rattle? But
the child cannot shake it till he is
weeks and weeks older. Nor can
he hear much of the noise. Better
keep the rattle till he is a little
older.
Thenj perhaps, you gave him a
rubber ring to bite. But, bless you.
a baby can't hold,a ring, and gen
orally he rs not a biting animation
six months.
He had a soft, fuzzy Eskimo doll,
did he, one that he could feel, per-
haps? He viii feel it with his
tongue, and you, poor mother, viii
have an awful terror of germs.
Save the doll till he is a year old.
Well, FrOebel, you know, is the
one to answer this question. And
he hangs a little colored worsted
ball in front OF the baby in his
crib or his cab, where the little
blinking eyes can fasten on the bit
Of brightness and return to it again
and again. By and by the shaky
little arm is put out and the baby
fingers try to touch it. After many
clumsy failures he gets the soft
thing in his hand and he has q
new experience. When it is con
sidered al the croQuat and base
bali, tennis and football this boy
has before him, to say nothing Of
cricket and golf, it is Just as we'll
for him to play ball early. But,
doubtless, Froebel had better rea-
sons for his wise choice of the ball,
the " first gift.
The ball is natures simplest
form, and beautiful in its sim
pLcity.a It's outline is the same
from every point Of view, and. be
ing in unstable equilibrium, it is
in itself almost as playful as a
kitten.sa Now ask yourself why
FrOebel had the ball made Of worst
ed, why It was colored, why a
string should be attached to it,
and how large it should be. Ask
what the ball synlbolizes, what the
different motions may represent,
what amusement and teaching
come to the child, and then you are
ready to appreciate the mothers
need Of just such work as Mrs.
Dumas is to give the Kindergar-
ten Club.
Z A score of women met Monday
70 learn about Froebel's gifts, and
today they are all more interested
in the great educator for the two
hours interesting talk on the ball.
There is still a cordial welcome for
any ore who cares to come to
Hall next Monday at p.
m. and learn more Of this wonder,
the ball. The club VIII meet every
other week and there Is no mem
bership fee.

Kat Poo-thereby hangs a tale, r.
being the name of the Chinaman
who has had enterprise enough to
open liquor store. The situation
of the establishment is midway be-
tween, Hotel and King streets on
the Waikiki side of Nuuanu. The
general appearance of the place is
decidedly American. Were it not
for the Chinese characters that
surround the name of " Kat Poo
on the sign in front of the store
and also the two Mongolian faces
that are to be seen at all hours be-
hind the counter, one might take I.
the establishment for anything but
Chinese.
To begin with the glass at either
side of the entrance is painted red,
and upon this the name Of the
proprietor and the contents of the
store in black.
There is no screen to shut out
the gaze of those who might be
shocked by seeing an intimate
friend on the inside; but then
there is no drinking done there.
Each and every man, woman and g
child is required to buy a bottle
duly sealed with dirty sealing wax
and stamped with the name /" Kat
Poo" or 60 home empty handed.
Three incandescent electric lights
brighten the room at night time
and disclose to view a sen1i-circle
counter toward the entrance.
Against the back wall and little
distance from the counter is
series of circular shelves decreasing
in size toward the top. Holes in
these furnish convenient resting
place for the bottles. Above this
is sign which the proprietor
as follows. ANY kline
samshu heap good.
The proprietor is q jolly good
fellow with -singularly Chinese
face and a more than ordinary
tightness to the plating Of hiA
queue. which, it has been learned, is
a sign Of prosperity. lie is very
willing to talk and volunteers all
sorts OF information, bearing of
course upon points ia relation to
his business. He has an assistant,
who furnishes what information
the proprietor cannot think Of on
the spur OF the moment. This i'm
DOrtant parsonage wears a blank
expression upon his face, and when
he speaks rolls his eyes TOWARD the
sealed bottles, which is most pro-
baby his way Of showing admira-
ton for the seductive beverage.
The proprietor shows superiority
over his assistant by letting his
legs hang naturally from the floor,
while the latter tucks the heels Of
bis feet under him, no matter upon
what he is seated.
When alone, which is not often,
the pair sit IN silence, the pro
Drietor daubing ink on his books
with Chinese brush and the as
sistant scratching his leg.
In conversation with the pro-
prietor some interesting informa-
lion was cleaned which, in order
10 be rendered ineligible, Will be

.ul form into English.

The jolly walla Malta.

Missoula, Jan. 14-Among the list of
local social entertainments given this
season, the gatherings of the Walla
MALTA club have been the pleasantest
and most original and the party given
10 the members this evening was equal
TO any that have been previously given.
The hosts were James A. Walker and
Andrew Beckwith and the party was
held at the residence of c. A. Beck
with, the pleasant rooms of which were
magnificently decorated with cut flow
ers and ported plants. There were
blossoms everywhere. roses, carnations,
lilies and smilax, in great profusion.
The table was artistically arranged,
flowers and mirrors being used with
delightful effect. During supper a
concealed orchestra furnished music,
supplying the one thing needful to
make the party a perfect one. Those
present were: Misses Hilda Knowles.

FEELING IN A DEAD FINGER
Singular Sensations Experienced by Man
with n Witherei Digit.

From the ST. Louis Republic.
Several years ago I'd. w. w." a
well-known citizen of Oskaloosa, Iowa,
was SO unfortunate as to have the lit
tie finger of his left hand badly smash
ed in the cogs of a corn shelter. DR..
Hoffman, the leading surgeon of the
little city, was called to attend the in
jured man and forthwith amputated
the finger at the knuckle joint. The
severed member was then carefully
preserved in alcohol and when the in :
jured man had so far recovered from
the hurt as to be able TO view what
had formerly been a portion OF his
framework the surgeon presented him
with the CHASTITY relic. The accident
occurred in warm weather, but as au-
tumn approached ID. w. W." often
complained of a chilly sensation in the
stump of his finger. As winter gradu-
ally came on this sensation of cold be-
came so unbearable that life was fast
becoming a burden to the victim OF the
accident Everybody In the neighbor-
hood knew of the peculiar case and
many comments were the result. Final
ly 1t was limited that probably the bot
tied finger had been buried and that
the cold had penetrated to its resting
place, a suspicion which an investiga-
ton proved to be correct.
About this time (the weather having
turned very ccld) the injured man
claimed that the dead and buried finger
appeared to be in place as naturally
as IL was before the corn shelter mis-
hap. but that IL had the sensations of
being frozen from the knuckle to the
end of the nail; and furthermore, that
there appeared to be something under
the nail. This was too much for the
superstitious people of the neighbor-
hood. They held a council of war and,
with the cut off fingered man as lead
err, repaired to the spot where he had
shallowly buried the amputated men,
Der in the mold of an old cornfield.
The work of disinterment was begun
and in a few moments the bottled fin
ger was discovered surrounded by a
semi frozen stratum of what proved to
be badly adulterated alcohol. On the
suggestion of one of the "ghouls" the
| bottled finger was carefully wrapped
| and placed in a warm place as soon
as the investigating party reached
/ home. The most curious part OF the
! story remains to be told. AS soon as
the liquid in the bottle became thor
| oughly warm the chilling and freezing
| sensation which had troubled the in
| jured man for weeks entirely disap-
! peared and did not again return a.
long as the amputated finger was KEEP
in a warm place However. the sensa
ton of some foreign substance undei
the nail continued until ii was founC
upon investigation that thread ha(
| been tightly tied in the exact localit,
where the pain appeared to be, the OBJ
ject being TO hold the specimen" up
| right in theb ottle. As soon as tn
thread was cut the pain disappeared
just as the chilling and freezing sen
senation had done after the disin
TERED bottle had been thorough,
warmed up.

HE FOUGHT FOR GOD
The Depth of Dayton Powers Religion
Was Indeed Great. ~
AN INCIDENT TOLD OF HIM
He Resented the Sacrilegious Re-
marks of a Man Under the In
fIuence of Liquor and Held
Gun on Him.

Missoula, Jan. 14-Among the many
incidents which are told of Dayton M.
Power whose death was reported In
the Standard to-day, is one which Illus
tIates the depth of the mans religious
feeling. The affair occurred at Martina
and was the result of thoughtless re-
mark made by miner who was under
the influence of liquor. The miner Is
good man when he Is in mis- right mind,
but when he has been drinking, his
tongue becomes too loose, and he fire.
quently says things that he would not
utter under other conditions.
On the evening in. question the miner,
in his talk, used the name OF the Sa-
vior in vile and sacrilegtous cohnec-
tton Mr.. Power, old man as ne was,
sprang forward at once and talked to
the man as he was never talked TO De-
fore. For a minute or two ne spoke
words of hot condemnation and then
turned away, saying: You mean con-
temptdble cur. I'll make you kneel TO
me- to say nothing of Christ"
He was gone but for a moment ana
returned with a big revolver, with
which he covered the offender and, as
he looked over the barrel of the gun, he
relieved his feelings by telling the now
kneeling and penitent man just what
he Thought of him. You're cur
you're a cowar6ly, contemplate cur.
You're a scoundrel You dirty beast. 20
speak that way of the Man that died
for all of us. O., I'll make you kneel.
You coward. Yes, of course, you're sor-
ry I'll teach you to talk that way 1
ought to blow your head off, you cur.
That's what you are, a cur. Do you
hear? You're a cur Now. keep kneei-
ing. / don't know but I'll shoot you
anyway"
SO the tirade continued the muzzie OF
the revolver covering the miner most
menacingly. The man, who had really
no intention of committing a sacrilege
but whose cups were responsible ioi
his remark, was now thoroughly SOBER
and his apologies were accepted, rather
ungraciously to be sure, but friends
! succeeded in convincing Power that he
had punished the offender sufficiently
| and the gun was reluctantly put away

The Mlssissippians in Memphis tell of
a strange negro character living near

a genuine negress; black. with kinky

was nothing remarkable about her. but

and came near dying. IL was months

handle her massive braids before they
believe the truth. Like the majority OF
the negroes, Nancy is superstttious, and
the story she tells about her hair Is IN

vision while she lay sick with the fever;
that black woman stood before her
with three long bradds of ktnky hair
that fell to the floor; the woman pointed
to the hair and disappeared. When her
hair began to grow Nancy often
Thought of the vision. A year later,
when she was alone in her cabin, the
