IMPRESSIVE SCENE WITNESSED
Was the Regular Annual Picnic OF the
Orphans of the Home.
MANY VISITORS WE'RE PRESENT

Ground was broken Friday last for
the rescue home to be erected on the
grounds Of tho Methodist orphans
home in Decatur 1t was the occasion OF
the annual picnic Of the orphans ana q large
number Of Atlantans and Decaturites and
many ministers of the Methodist church
were present
Two programmes were rendered, one in
the morning ana the other in the afternoon
Speeches were made by some Of the promi-
nent workers in the Fpworth League and
for the orphans, and many special features
were added to entertain the visitors and
amuse the children. II was most enjoya-
bic day for all those present and many
kind things We're said Of the hospitality of
Mr.. Howard Crumey. agent for the home,
and of Mr.. and Mrs. Taylor, who are the
efficient superintendent.
The visitors went from Atlanta by trolley
cars and were met at the cars by vehicles,
which carried them to the home. The iir%t
programme was rendered in The morning
and commenced about II o'clock Mr. +.
NJ. Cocker presided ANA introduced the speak
crs and the SPECIAL numbers. Inc chlldrcn
of the home sang d number of songs at the
beginning that showed the careful training
that is being given ana their childish voices
singing the sweet hymns greatly pleased
the visitors
The children then repeated the seventeenth
chapter of the gospel of st. John. Pray
er was offered by Mr. Cocker, IN which he
asked the blessing of God on the home and
those who foster it. Florence Morgan, one
of the little orphans, made a short address
of welcome to those present and was heart

A song was sung and Mr.. Luther was IN
troduced He spoke of the work the Ep-

Besides, he thought that If he snou'd take

The Little Prince mounted Cyrus end rode
to the castle. When he got there thcy gave
him some rooms upstairs, where u e win
dows were SO high from the ground that
if anybody jumped out of them he would
be killed by the fan. The castle ard every
thing around 1t was very fine and beautiful
and for several days the prince was as hap
~ as any boy could be. After !hat the
great men who had come with MIN went
away and he WAS left in the care of the
wicked doctor and servants.
One morning the Little Prince found the
doors of his room fastened so that he could
not run out and play as he had done be-
fore. The doctor came and said lie was

Among all the varied summer fabrics
there is nothing prettier and more practi-
cal than pique of soft fnsh and artistic
coloring. A very stylish and useful mod
ell for renovating last years gown is of
plaid pique with white ground and
stripes of coral, helotrope and pale yell
low. The FIVE gored skirt is finished with
a white circular founce, slightly undula-
ting, sufficient to produce graceful flare
at the foot, where it measures four yards
The founce, which is deepest in width
directly in front, is attached by narrow
bias band, stitched on both edges. The
corsage. which has box-pleat on either
side of the front, opens to show plain
white chemisette and collar, and the
square collarette is bordered with a ruff1e
OF embroidered pique f1aring over the
shoulders in place of epaulettes.

The cylinder Of the monograph that

dictation, was picked up among the debris
of the ruined building. 1t was the only
thing not completely shattered by the ter
rible explosion that wrecked the once
magnificent home of Scribbler's Magazine.
When placed upon perfect machine, it
ground out this tale.
Whether the editor in his joy forgot the
admonition of the visitor and threw him

The back of the waist is plain, and the
smallest of coat sleeves has little EN-
broi iered ruff1e over the hand.
The hat of coarse white straw, covered
high with thick mass of muslin folds,
has jetted white quilts at the front, while
under the brin, resting upon the hair,
are bouquets of deep yellow marigolds,
which. with the pale gold stick of the
pique parasol, give the only touches OF
color to the costume other than the deli
cate lines in the plaid.
The proper cut of this gown can be OBJ
tanned only from the cut paper patterns

Demonstration of Statistics Showing the
Possible RhythmicaI Combinations That
Stunned the sanctum's Inhabitant-Then
Some Original Verses That Ended Him.
He had drifted in SO noiselessly that he
stood before the editor some seconds before
that supposedly most unapproachable of
all unapproaohables realized that be was
not alone. 1t was growing late, and the
editor was busily engaged in examining
rejected rawlings Of the muse into his Ca
paoious waste paper baskets.
The editor fixed his always before with
ering gaze upon the visitor, but in place
of whitening, as per usual programme, he
seemed to swell into inagnifed proper
tions. The visitor began:
Don't novel Don't speak! Don't
breathe hard You are in the presence
of genius! You are also in the presence of
something less than half ton of nitro
glycerin. In each of my poalzets-I have
% of them-is stick of dynamite. I am
of an extremely sensitive nature. The ex-
plosive is also very sensitive. The slight
est jar Is apt to cause the evaporation of
everything within a radius of half a mile

nerves as the same result Is sure to follow.
AS I entered / noticed that you were
engaged in attempting to rid yourself of
those pestiferous germs of that contagioAs
disease Known as 'poetical inspiration.
Sir, I do not wonder at the oareworn ex-
preston upon your face. I know with
what joy you would hail the advent of
something really meritorious in the line
of poetry, something absolutely original
and unique. know with what SORROW
full hearts you and your brother editors
have been forced to publish the same old
poems, rehashed and reseasoned, year aft
er year, decade after decade, century after
century.
81 know as well as you that there is
nothing new under the sun in the line of
poetical thought. This terrible realiza-
ton came to me years ago, and was in
despair until suddenly 1t dawned upon me
that a remedy might be found in new and
unused rhymes. then set about gather.
ing afew statistics A thorough study OF
all the rhylning dictionaries, now in con-
slant use by our rising and falling poets,
brought the following facts to light:
There are and have been since the
muse first foil from her high place tril-
lion 999,999 billion 999, 900 million &c.,
999 possible rhythmical combinations.
Since the muse first changed her boarding
place there have been supposed and sup
posing poets aggregating number OF
such great magnitude that l will not even
mention it, as 1t is far beyond the compre-
hension of even those most subtle experts
on figures, the habitues of tho front row
at the connie opera. Each of these rhyme.
STEERS has turned out-and in the majority
of cases had turned down-on an average
of 500 poems averaging 90 lines each.
With these figures at my command, ]
found that the total combinations OF
rhymes were exhausted some time between
the years 90 and B. G.
Now, sir, having demonstrated my
point, take pleasure In bringing to your
notice the result of years of arduous labor,
which, am sure, will find no one to dis
