TWO THOUSAND Chill DREN
Visit the DOId Booth and Eat Hot
Weinerwursts.

Yesterday was ''Children's Day. at the
Dold pavilion, and the youth OF the city
will long remember the good time they
had at that booth, and the free open
hearted courtesiss which were extended
20 them. The vast crowds which hourly
swarmed about the Dold booth ali the
week made it impossible to entertain
the young folks, along with the rest. and
SO it was arranged by the management to
make a children's day, and Saturday was
appointed for the purpose. The young
folks, both resident in the city, and those
coming from out of town, were all given
the same treatment which was extended
TO the public generally. From 2:S0 TO 40

crowded I'D to the spacious booth and
two policemen were there 10 direct them

made for them, and the Dold packing
house had literally provided the lunch.

with the best that the house affords, and
this mean, tse ssst that is made up any
where. It was estimated according to the
supply arranged for this affair, that from
o.o0O to 12.oO0 children were fed by the
corps of caterers at the booth. Mr.. Fred
Burdette. assisted by Mr.. Tom Mallory,
looked after the sandwich end of the
serving while the four young ladies at
tended to the cooking department, and
the result was every one OF the children
present was served. and they went away
well pleased In the evening the usual
free lunch was served to ALL and for a
long time to come the visitors here will
remember the Dold display and recall
their liberal and open house treatment.

EARRINGS IN FAVOR.
History of the Pretty Baubles Since

There are indications that earrings are
about 70 cDme into favor once more as
articles Of feminine ad0rnment.
Periodically the susceptibilities Of our
nrim pnblic opinion in this country are
sorely shocked al the vulgarity and brti-
talty OF wearing Jewelry in the ear. Yet
the practice is OF great antiquity. and
recuTs with quite remarkable regularity.
It's manifestations generally illustrating
the dominant artistic note OF the day.
Jacob gave Rachel an earring OF half a
shekel or nearly half an ounce In weight.
and In the days of the prophet Isaiah ear
rings were a prominent characteristic of
feminine ornamentation. Among many
Eastern nations earrings were worn BY
men as well as women. and IN our own
land the ornament was the common char
aCteristiC OF both sexes IN EliZabethau
times. and even later VI. SalZmann dis
covered PhOeniCian earrings In the ruins
OF Camyrus. on the island Of Rhodes.

The Egyptians. history tells us. used
jewels primarily as symbols Of spiritual
things and the richer classes used gold

skill OF Birmingham.'
In its gradual evolution the earring
