didn't hardly think Admiral Dewey
would get through, with all his calm dig

ulous episode. Now comes the step from
the sublime TO the ridiculous, he having
cut himself three times while shaving,
from looking at the picture OF an Illinois
girl, instead Of in his glass. No wonder

Again on last Sunday the Methodist
church was crowded TO see and hear the
program for Children's Day. The altar,
chancel and organ we're transformed in-
to bower of beauty by palms and
blooming flowers in jsrdinieres. The
little children looked lovely and did
well. The choir rendered a number Of
sweet numbers. Brother Litcbfsld ex-
planned the meaning of the day, and a
general collection followed. The ladies
who conducted the program deserve
high praise.

The Meade county Sunday School con-
vention was held last Thursday as adver-
tised and was perfect success in every
respect. At morning and afternoon sess-
ion the Methodist church which was
beautifully decorated in palms and pott-
ed plants, was crowded. The spread

below. There was an abundance and to

Rosa Bonheur, that famous animal
painter is no more. AS a creative artist
she was first among women. Victor
Hugo said she listened to God and not
to man and was true to self When
Monsieur Bill of Buffalo, was in Paris he
sent Bonheur some OF his bronehos
which she put on canvas. She wore
mems clothes to the day of her death.
In 1864 Princess Eugenia pinned to the

the Legion OF Honor, the first time such
distinction was ever conferred on a
woman.

Miss Eva Carrigan told us about the
National Sunday School Convention, at
Atlanta, Georgia, to which she was a
delegate. She said that we had no rep
resentatives from Cuba or Porto Rico,
but next year we expect to hear from
each, as well as from the Philippines.
The churches and Sunday schools that
are far reaching certainly have immense
fields before them for missionary work
in our newly acquired territory. Miss
Eva thinks, with others, from whom she
quoted, that when pocket books are en-

dawn. Discussions are in order

Speaking of Sunday School and its
good work, and OF methods of study now
pursued, reminds me OF how very differ
ent the line OF study now pursued re-
minds me of how very different the line
of study is conducted now and thirty
years ago. Mr.. Burton said Sunday ai-
ternoOn before the next Sunday is a good
time to study ones lesson. My mother
required us TO prepare our lessons inn
mediately after dinner on one Sabbath
for the next. But in those days we used
the scripture question books in which
were the questions with Bible references
for each answer. Again that did not
constitute the most important part OF
our lesson. We were required to men,
orize 30 many verses in the Bible for
each sabbath Mrs. Wilson, now OF Ill
