Pbotus Phouts, Chillicothe. Mo.-Dear
Junior: AS u standpoint from which to
say few words, / select the eagerly
looked for headline, The Constitution,
Jr.," and all that it embraces. This Is
saying very much, coming from stranS-
er, but when We remember that we are
all cousins. and that We have just one
aunt, it is not saying so much as thought

very long, but l feel assured that l have

useful gems to be found in the writings OF

Antonio. Tex.-Dear Juniors: 1 am not a
little boy or a little girl. / will not toll
my age. but the figures of my years added
together make il. Now guess how old
/ am. But this is not what / want To- tell
you about. ON the 10th of this month
/ went up to Dallas and attended the larg
est Baptist convention ever held in the
world, and Buckner's great orphan home
Is six miles from the city, and this is
wha; l want to tell you about. On Sat
urday Dr. Buckner brought l92 of the
orphans TO the convention. They ranged
in age, l suppose from hVc 10 Hiteen
years G!d. There were ABOUT IUO SlflS, All
dressed in uniforms. Thcy marched in
double file down the aisleS ana formed IN
rank on the stand at the END OF the hail.
The orphan girls sang "On Jordan

mortal man ever listened to such soul
stirring music. 1t sounded ike one voice,
50 well trained were they. DIR. Buckner
tren invited all who would 10 go out on
an excursion that he had arranged. Sdmc-
thing over one thousand people visited the
home on Sunday. The nome consists OF
TWO large twO-story brick buildings, one
for the girls. the other for the boys. the
latter not entirely finished. Each building
has two wide nails crossing each other
above and below, which gives a Tree
circulation of air through the buildings.
The buildings are lighted by electricity
and heated ny steam. All the machinery
on the ground is owned by the home
= here ~ about 30 acres OF black land be-
longing to the home. There is an orchard
of some 1000 trees donated to the home
by fruit growers. They have about forty
head of cattle, some of them thorough
bred Jerseys and other grades. The prop
erty all amounts i'm value TO something
over 500. 600, with not one cent OF incum-
brance on It. on the ground is the old
original building in which the home was
first dedicated. 1t appears to be about
14Xl6 and would hardly be comfortable
stable now. | saw two little tots, one
about two years and the other only a few
months old whose parents lost their
lives in the flood on the Bra2os river last
spring.
Experience makes even fools wise.
