The Old and the New
In PRESBYTERIAN Settin1

An all.ronnd pleasing and very artistic
entertainment was given last Friday
evening at the Rocker opera house under
the auspices Of the Presby ytsrinn church.
The first and second parts II the prog.
rnm were divided into ''new" and ''old,"
represented in music and art. Part I
begun with the rendering Of "Annic Lan.
rio" by chorus Of fifteen voices, and il
closed with 'Auld Lang Syne" by the
anne performers. 1ntersperaed were
solos by Mrs. q NJ. Hall md Mr.. Lloyd
Pollock: n reading by Miss Edith Butter
uet," which wns done with physical
rrnce aud nm elocutionnry art TINT prob.
ably exccIle,l anything she has previous.
~ given us. Little Ruth Davenport and
little Jamie Hall. in character dress. did
the familiar dnet, "Reuben and Rachel
md did il with n charming naviette for
such youngsters.
The art pnrt Of this part consisted OF
n series Of pictures illustrating "'rhe
American Girl in Four Periods" The
Indian maiden wns well personnted by
Miss Sadie Service. the Puritan damsel
by Miss Edith Young. the Colonial by
Mrs. Q. +. Evans and the maiden Of to-
day by Miss Flossie Pollock, NIL of whom
mule very CnaFnlup pictures.
Mr.. G. i. Evans also posed in the

on this lier first appearance among us.
A disappointment was experienced
when it was announced TINT tho instrn-
mental performance by Mr.. Mcmillan
and Miss Barkley, on violin and piano,
had to be abandoned.
A series OF advertisement pictures rep
resen,ing some familiar mercantile
preparations, very fttingly represented
the "new" period. in it's mercantile spirit.
A very enjoyable program was concluded
by Mr.. aud Mrs. Davenport's rendering
OF vocal duet, "When Life is Bright
est"
The Ladies' Aid requests the Enterprise
to return their thanks to those who took

A Bad Accident.

An old man named Zwicker. we'll.
known about town as II wood sa Tyer and
a collector OF oifal, met with serious
accident last Monday by being thrown
from wagon load OF hay as his team
crossed the Rocky Ford ditch near the
sugar factory. Both bones OF the lower
left leg were broken just above the ankle
and broken with such force that they pro-
iected through the flesh and through the
clothing and made an impression on the
ground where he fell. DR.. Fenton. who
reduced the fracture, says 1t is doubtful
il the old man survives his injuries, being
both aged aud debilitated.

Mrs. John P. Robinson, daughter of the late Admiral Tompkins, U. $. N:-White satin yelled in silver spangled net; dia- monds.
 Such was the paragraph-the names being changed--which appeared in the list of costumes at the inaugural ball. Let us study 1t moment. These cos tune descriptions are written by the wearers, who also write their names on the cards distributed for that pur- pose by the journalistic Jenkinses who perform the duty technically known as doing society,"" Hence, it was Mrs. John P. Robinson herself who added the designation daughter of Admiral Tompkins" to her name. In other words, Mrs. Robinson prefers to be known as the daughter of her father rather than as the mere wife of her husband. The fact constitutes evidence of the growth of in this country of due appreciation of those ''nocial advant- ages" so highly prized by Rear Ad- miral William T. Sampson. Isn't it rather pitiful? Somewhere in the back ground there is a MT. John P. Robin son. Very likely he hasn't had any ''sc- clal advantages" at all. Probably he is in the wholesale grocery line-or in hides or soap or shoe findings. We can imagine John P. Robinson working hard and late that his wife may shine at the inaugural ball in white satin yelled in silver-spangle1 net; dia- monds." It Is safe to say that John r. Robinson, like most other Americans, is an honest, hearty, unaffected fellow, who loves and cherishes his wife and tries to make her happy. Yet when Jenkins comes around with his costume card to be filled out Mrs. John P. Rob inson is not content to appear in the society column as the mere wife of honest John-plebeian John, who has pinched himself to furnish forth the funds for the court costume. She must advise the reading public of her early "soclal advantages" John r. Robin son is very well as a person for every day use--as payer of bills and a pro- wider of pin money-but papa was an admiral. It is necessary that the world should know It. It Is proper that peo- pie should realize that. though she is married 10 a commoner, she is of the nobility. Unhappy Robinson!

GYPSIES ARE A NUISANCE.
Austro. Hungary Has Adopted Mea .
 for Their Suppression.

Austro. Hungary Has Adopted Mea .
 for Their Suppression.
 In every part of Europe bands of Hungarian gypsies are to be encounter ed. AS rule they travel in families, numbering from twenty-five to 100 souls and more, carrying along with them all their various and strange para phernalia and domestic necessities. In most countries of Europe laws have been passed according to which these vagabonds are allowed to stay only a couple of days or couple of hours in certain provinces or provincial districts, when they are escorted by "gens- darmes" over the border. Their princi- pal business transactions consist of for tune-telling, begging and stealing. They are especially clever in the latter branch of business and take everything from a pin and needle to a horse and car riage.
 The gypsies have been a real nuis- ance for Europe for centuries and the Austro- Hungarian government is now considering a plan to force this most peculiar vagabond race into settlement somewhere in the vast plains of Hun gary. Most characteristic of the gyp- sies is the fact that they never work This is one of their. first principles. For more than 600 years they have been roaming over Europe, and the up-to- date gypsy is by all means the cleverest thief in the wsrld. Where no cat gets through the little brown gypsy boy finds his way. They have no religion, no morals, no honor or no fatherland. But he is prouder, perhaps, than Span ish grandee. He lies to perfection and is the greatest story-teller in the world. Many other efforts have been made from time to time to confine the gyp- sies to certain territories in Hungary. but always without any success.

As he was writing Ruhe had once more advanced toward the desk. and seeing the form at tie counter. he strode eagerly forward. pcered into the face of the newcomer and. skipping him on the back. exclaimed: By gosh If 1t ain't Bill Smith at last..'
 The rest of the story was simple. Smith recognized Rube thanked him fer the loan. and immediately pulled out his purse and paid over the promis- ed fifty he had borrowed.
 The Memphis shark turned pale as Rube claimed the wager. but it had to go. Later the Memphis shark got It. tie note advising him that Rube thank ed him for the little donation, and ad- vised him to try the trick. on some or his fellow sharks and play for even.

 There Is not q remote corner of the world in which one may not run across wandering Yankee. Americans are a pervasive lot. From away up In Shan States, in North Burmah, comes a letter from a governm .nt telegraph operator to his brother, which says:
 When I wrote you last from Ran goon, a few months ago, l thought that in all probability it would be the last you would hear from me. I was then about to leave with the boundary com mission on a tour of 600 miles through the Shan States to the Chinese frontier-on horseback, on muleback, and on foot. Of the seven who composed the party three were killed in fight we had with the Wahs, one died of fever in the Chin hills, two returned to Mandalay, while I remain here in the government tele- graph office.
 Could have induced any one to ac- company me I should have pushed on into China and taken pot-luck in the crusade against the Boxers. Kentung was as far as got, however, and on re- turning to this village the option of re- maining here or returning to Rangoon was offered to me. So much for my re- cent experiences, which. though doubt less of no interest to you, recount for the information of the folks at home, to whom I trust you will be good enough to send this letter in the hope of mov- ing them to send letter of cheer to a wandering brother.
 ''If all goes we'll shall remain here two or three years. Living is expen- sive, but the pay is good, and the people, though wild and uncouth, are of a happy and peaceful tribe. The handful ow white men which we have here are all gentlemanly chaps. My address is Taunggyi, Shan States, Upper Bur- mah."
 What story this little letter outlines for Kipling!
