LIVING PICTURES.
An Open Letter to the Children.
Dear Young Friends:--

Dear Young Friends
You may have noticed that when the
school committeeman visits you i'll school
or kindergarten or the superintendent of
your Sabbath school makes little speech
to you about the Christmas tree, Easter
services, or summer picnic, they all use
these same words, ''My Dear Young
Friends" That is one reason why we use
the phrase But another reason is because
we have something interesting to say to
you, which we hope you will read aloud
to your dear mothers, and to your busy
fathers, if they are not too sleepy when
they have finished reading the newspapers.
The story is very short, because we
cannot illustrate it with pictures. If we
should try to do so, the pictures would
more than fill the whole newspaper But we
have another plan by which we can show
you living pictures of yourselves that will
delight you and everybody else This is a
true story, and now we come to the inter-
esting part:
Next Wednesday morning, Sept. 18th,
and continuing through Thursday and Fri
day. shall give an exhibition in the bows
and children's department. Of our store,
of hundreds Of the newest, prettiest Suits
for the little fellows and their bigger broth
ers, ever made in Worcester. No such dis
play of handsome and sensible school suits,
Sunday suits, and dress suits for parties,
was ever made in a Worcester store The
Jackets and trousers, vests and overcoats,
are made of nice cloth, in all sorts of col
ors, with the handsomest and most stylish
facings and trimmings we have ever seen,
and we have been selling clothing for half
century.
We invite every one of you to
come to the exhibition next Wednes
day, or as soon after as you can, and bring
with you your parents, and see what d liv-
Ing picture you will make when you try
on one of our new, nobby and warranted
to-wear fall suits You might whisper to
your mother that we shall have a great
many more kinds and sizes, and prettier
styles than they ever found in any store or
travelling assortment of boys and child
ren's clothing shown in Worcester
AS we said before, this is a true story,
and we know you will like the living pic
lures when you come to see them, as we
hope you will
Sincerely, Your Old Friends,

WHEN MEN MISS SUCCESS.
IdIeness and IncOpDctency Keep the

Walter I. Phillips, the founder of the
M ional newspaper corporation known
as the United Press and the inventor
of Phillips tclo"raphic code. Il typical,
energetic American. who has put many
young men in the news gathering buSi-
ness, believes that the cause of failure
everywhere among young business be-
Einners lies in Incompetence.
Nine-tenths of the young men who
are struggling for a name and place in
the world are untitled for the callingS
they have picked out for themselves. Be
sides an unlimited supply of energy
and whole heartedness in the work be
fore him, the successful man of the
future must know his business from
A to Il.
The next great drawback to success
is idleness. Nothing worth while is
accomplished without work. and plenty
of it. Things do not happen without
a cause. and behind every great life
there are years of concentrated energy
and tireless industry. Idleness viii

work will land any man among the
successful. 1t is all so simple and so
lrite that one hesitates to put the fact
down in cold blood, and yet how few
men recognize, or, recognizing. live up

Idleness and the consciousness of in

The National Festival,

The preparations for the National Festival
to be given in Robbins hall Friday evening
are nearly completed. The young ladies who
will wait on the tables haYe their parapher-
MALTA ready. The refreshments will also be
ready at the proper time and sufficient to
satisfy large crowd. But aside from the
refreshments there will be musical program
sufficiently varied to please all who may
be present The instrumental music
consisting of three numbers will be
rendered by the Riley concert orchestra
under the direction of Prof. w. j.
Portz. The very fact that the Riley or
chestra will be there will draw a large crowd
even if they should not plav a note; but,
when the following program is taken into
consideration no one can afford to miss it,
The first number by the orchestra march,
is America Forever" This will be followed
by a selection by quartette, The Soldiers
FAREWELL" selection, comic medley, "The
Chicken Brigade" by the orchestra;
Polly Wolly Doodle by the quar-
tette Waltzes "Nelida," by the orchestra
followed by Now Lay Me Down to Sleep"
by the quartette There is no doubt that this
program can be doubled if the audience so
expresses itself, but if all this should fail to
satisfy, be sure and go fishing at the fishing
pond, and you will certainly go away salts
fed. There are other features in the festival
which must be seen to be appreciated The
admission is 10 cents, and your ticket entities
you to a cup of coffee and sandwich.
