Pumpkins and Pies.

On Friday evening the big tent in
which the exhibition was held during

appearance.
Late in the afternoon the displays
were removed and seats put in The
tables were trimmed and prepared for

Immediately arose to the occasion and
held social.
From & till 10 crowd of hungry
people streamed in and out of the
tent The band was on duty most
of the time and played soothing Sc

and the pies disappeared. The proof
of the pie was in the eating. and like
wise the proof of the pumpkins. Dear
me, 1t was wonderful how those peo-

President Roosevelt Went to Church
and Spent Quiet Day.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-Presi.
dent Roosevelt spent his first Sun
day in Washington as chief executive
of the nation in very quiet and unc.
ventful manner. In the morning he
attended religious services with his
brother-in-law, Douglas Robinson, of
New York. and in the afternoon he
went out in an automobile with Gov
ernor General Wood, of Cuba. They
rode in the machine to the outskirts
of the city. where they left II and
took "A stroll of about six miles in
Rock Creek park. They talked the
Cuban situation over. and upon their
return Governor Wood said that he
thought the government OF Cuba
would be turned over to the Cubans
by the first OF next May. He said
President Roosevelt would carry out
the policy of President Mckinley to
the letter. Governor Wood departed
last night for Havana.

The Chicken Pulling.

| Did you ever see so.called Chick

wildly snatching at the coveted sack
as they rode by. To ride full tilt
and pull up the sack. firmly bedded as

In very short time one of the

demands.
In the Evening.

The committee in charge of the
amusenonts evidently considered tina,
many of the visitors were followers
of Terpischore since they arranged
for dances each evening.
That they were not mistaken was
evidenced by the numbers in attend
ance. Although the crowd varied as
to individuals each evening, there was
little difference in its size.
The dances were held in large pa.
Wilton. with canvas roof and sides. a
condition which made it all the more
pleasant for dancing.
In spite of the enormous crowd in
attendance, there was always plenty
of room on the floor. The gentlemen
all had numbers, and as only so many
couples were allowed to dance at a
time. the dances We're duplicated.
On Wednesday evening four quadrilles
and then four waltzes, etc, were call
ed. to accommodate all the men.
1t seemed n trifie odd for the superi-
or sex to dance only every fourth
dance. while some of the women took
the programme in order straight
through. But while it limited indi-
viduals in quantity certainly the ar
rangement provided room to dance
comfortably.
The committee deserves TO be con
graduated on the success OF this part
of the weeks programme.
The arrangements for the visitors
pleasure were perfect, while the floor
committee paid special attention to
the strangers

"Hick'ry Farm"

one of the entertainments provided
each evening for the benefit of the Wis
itors was the presentation of the cam
edy drama, "Hick'ry Farm.
The play belongs to the same class
and is somewhat on the order of the
odd Homestead Such plays when
staged at all creditably usually prove
popular with the average audience.
"Hick'ry Farm" was no exception to
this general rule. 1t was received
with undoubted favor and in certain
scenes applause was loud and pro
longed
1t is impossible to give resume of
the play at this writing, brief refer
ence to the characters only being per-
missible.
Jessie" the star part of the play,
was taken by Miss Kittie McJunkin.
This was undoubtedly the most diff
cult character to portray, on account
of the tense yet changeable character
of the emotions. The young lady
certainly shows evidence of histri-
onic ability. and had she had a strong
er support would have given splen-
did performance. We should like to
see her in a part not quite so heavy.
There are very strong indications
that in such she would excel.
AS priscilla the much married,
Mrs. j. c. Bero did some excellent
work. The by-play and finesse ex-
hibited by the lady in question were
wonderful The character as inter
preted by Mrs. Bero is full of exag-
gerations and borders at times on the
shrew, But lovable, for all that.
The scenes with Alderman O'Kee-

Gymnasium work in general, is
health restnrer. and many people who

A man should take an hour of such
exercise daily. or at least three times
a week. This would build him up more
