FRANCIS P. McKEoN.

bury street school, was introduced to
respond for "The United States" He
said this theme was not brought in as
a mere sentiment, something to con-
jure few minutes entertainment. 1t
is something serious, and in times like
the present men should stop to con-
slider what 1t means. We should not
think of war, but should go back to a
study of our constitution, which seeks
to accomplish great things by peace in
stead of war. When we boast of the
United States, we do not speak simply
of vast domains, populous cities, bust
ling hamlets and sovereign states, but
we speak of the civil polity and policy
of our noble country, which we should
strive to preserve so that our posterity
may enjoy the liberty we are now en-
joying.
Our Union does not depend on walls of
but it does rely, and is kept together be-
yond all by the dependency on the hearts
of the people. The most important lesson
we can learn is the lesson of unity of man
with man, citizen with citizen, so that in
the future no man nor no set OF men Will
dare to say one word that will break up
the fraternal spirit which, If we hold to,
We will be able to transmit to our posterity
and thus let them enjoy the privileges we
now enjoy.

course before breaking ups until Washing

wAsH1NeroN's BIRTHDAY FErE

Fully 1000 persons attended the Wash
ington's birthday fete given by Mrs.
Bowens pupils in Horticultural hall,
Tuesday evening, under the direction of
Mrs. w. E. Bowen, Miss Elizabeth T.
Weir and Miss Effie G. Adams.
The program consisted of songs dam
ces, marches and recitations calculated
to represent nearly all of the countries
which are to be found in the four quar-
ters of the globe.
When America was reached, patriot
ism seemed to thrill the audience. A
tall, finely-formed young woman took
the part of the Goddess of Liberty to
perfection; but the greatest hit of the
evening was the recitation, de Leader
OF Company b. by Miss Mamie A.
Parsons, and the song, Alabama Coon, -
by Lizzie Wilson.
The dancing of little Miss Dorothy
Liberty was, as usual good. Master
Ralph Stone added another to his all
ready long list of local triumphs. Mrs.
Bowen is to be congratulated that her
SO carefully-prepared entertainment
passed off so well.

Eugene A. O'Connor's magnificent
baritone voice in "The flag of the free, -
stirred the party as nothing else did
during the evening; and, as his voice
died away in the final strain, every

THE CARE OF THE HAIR.

Once a week in summer and once a
month in winter is, according to a
hairdresser, often enough to wash the
hair. For frequent washings weaken

afterwards. The hair should be
trimmed about once a month to prevent
it from falling out. Occasionally, its
condition becomes poor, just as the gen
eral system gets run down. 1t then

but otherwise hair dressings are gem
orally to be avoided. Brush thoroughly

In referring to his subject, he said the
essence of good citizenship is the observ-
