Thursday Nights Concert.

The concert given under the aus
pieces of the Sumner County Normal
institute at the High school auditor
ium Thursday was largely attended.
The program was rendered in superb
manner.
The program opened with a piano
duet by Miss Mary Share and Mrs. l.
|. Scott. Their selection was Colts
chalk'S La Gallina," a very difficult
piano piece, but one which was per-
formed in a faultlesS manner.
Prof. Palmer of Topeka, gave recit.
ais of Fathers Way" "Old Ace"
"The Man Who Felt Sad" He is a
fine impersonatOr and elocutionist,
aud his recitalS were always listened
to with much interest and pleasure.
The male Quartette was unable to
carry out its part of the program on
account Of the absence of Mr.. Durks
at the bedside Of his brother in Hi
nois. In the place of the Quartette
Mr.. Harry L. Woods rendered a solo
which was highly appreciated as was
shown by the vigorous encore. Prof.
Palmer then gave recitalS from poems
by Gene Field. He recited Cause
We Was Poor" and "In School
Days" Miss Mabel Cook delighted
the audience with a vocal solo. An
other selection of recitalS by Prof.
+ Palmer aud Miss Ella Gilmore rem
dered a vocal solo, Goodbye" Miss
Gilmore has just returned from her
studies at the GOttschalk Lyric
school in Chicago, and her song last
eight bore evidence of careful train
ing and showed rare vocal talents and
culture. A recital of 1.-THE SWING
by Prof. Palmer closed the evenings
entertainment.

Thousands Celebrate.

With thankfulness their restoration
to health by the use of Hoods Sarsa-
parilla.
Think of the vast army who have
been cured by this medicine
Men, women and children, who have
suffered the consequences of impure
blood, who have been the victims of
ScrOtula, eruptlOns, dyspepsia, ner-
vOuSness, sleeplesSneSS.
They have tried other medicines
and have failed to obtain relief.
They tried Hoods Sarsaparilla and it
did them good. They persevered in
its use and it accomplished perma-
nent cures. Do you wonder that they
praise it and recommend it to YOU?

"These railroads are positively the
greatest blessing that the ages have
wrought out for US. They give US
wings; they annihilate the toll and
dust Of pilgrimage: they spiritualize
travel! Transition being so facile,
what can be any mans inducement to
tarry in one spot? Why should he
make himself prisoner for life in
brick, and stone, and old, wOrm.eaten
timber, when he may just as easily
dwell wherever the beautiful shall
offer Rim homer"
The magnificent trains of the Santa
Fe route offer a facile transition to
many beautiful spots in Colorado,
New Mexico, Arizona, and California.

A Small Baby.

Mrs. J. NJ. Byers of Gage, OF,
brought her eight-mOnthS-Old child,
Ruth, said to be the smallest Child of
its age in this part of the country, to
the VOICE office Thursday after
noon and exhibited it. 1t is certainly
a wonderful creature. Mr.. and Mrs.
ByerS were in the city visiting the
family Of J. A. Byers, an employe of
the Santa Fe. They are ranch own
ers at Gage, OF, and have twelve
children, the remarkable child
brought to this Office Thursday being
the twelfth, and, as Mrs. Byers ex-
pressed il, Il guess she will be the
last"
Mrs. Byers is an attractive woman
in her thirtieS. All her other child
rem are well developed physically as
well as mentally. The miniature
piece Of humanity shown Thursday
is well developed mentally, being as
bright as the average child of its age.
But its physical growth seems to have
been arrested. The child weighs only
eight pounds. Its hands are not
much larger than the thumb nail of a
man. Its arms are about the size of
a large mans thumb. From the
elbow to the hand the child measures
about three inches, the wrists being
very small.
The child'S head is very large in
proportion to its body, and is covered
with an abundant growth of hair.
Its eyes are blue and the child peers
at you and seems conscious of the in
tereSt people take in it,

principal part of the attraction at
the picnic grounds. They put it
upon raised platform where every
body could see it and wonder at its
astonishing smallness. They have con-
suited physicians as to its health, and
been told that the child was phySi-
caily sound, Its growth is very slow.
The child will be no larger than a
Liliputian when it reaches its major.
ity. 1t weighed two pounds at birth.
Emil ROSer, jeweler, gave the child
gold ring Thursday. Mr.. RoSer has
had tiny gold ring in the jewelry
store for some time, which belonged
to the first child with a finger small
enough to 60 into the ring. Mrs.
Byers took the child to the store that
day to see if the ring would fit its
finger. The ring is no larger than q
lead pencil, yet the child cOulG

The Worst Boy in School.

He was about the worst boy In the
school and the teacher had punished
him again and again until she had be-
gun to consider him in the light Of
natural enemy, and she felt that the
boys feeling for her must be almost
one of hatred. So it was in the nature
sf a surprise when, in view Of the ap-
broaching holiday separation, other
bows of the school brought to her desk
little gifts of remembrance, to have the
bad boy approach with some hesitation
and place box of candy ON her desk.
But I don't think I can take 1t,
Tom" she said. "You have been too
bad a boy; you have seemed to do
everything you could to displease me-"
"Oh, please take It, Miss Blank, !"
said the bad boy In entreattng tones.
VI worked after school hours to get the
money to get It."
And someone felt tears coming very
near the surface then, for the bad boy
was q poor boy and had not so many
pleasures In life that he could be ex.
pected to sacrifice any Of them for any.
