A Wichlta,s Girl.s success,

Miss Katherine Eggleston was intro
duced yesterday afternoon as an inter-
prefer of classical and current litera-
ture." Not many so-called interpreters
so well deserve the name as Miss Eggle-
ston. Her delightfully."- natural manner
az once led the audience to hope, though
she was a new friend she was destined
to become an old one. Miss Eggleston is
a writer as well as a reader, and her
first selection had the added charm of
being written by the speaker, who left it
to the audience to decide whether it
should be placed under the head OF
classical or of current literature. This
was called The Tournament" and af-
fcrded her an excellent chance to display
her knowledge of negro dialect.
Her second selection was the two-act
play of Thos. Bailey Aldrch. called
Mercedes" In the rendition of this lit
tie drama Miss Eggleston displayed re-
markable histrionic talent, passing with
such swiftness from one part to another
that her auditors could scarcely realize
that they had not seen and heard a dozen
different actors. The drama is in the
fern of a tragedy and was listened to in
tently from start to finish.
In lighter vein, and again showing her
command of negro dialect. Miss Eggle-
ston recited one of Joe Chandler Har-
ris' Uncle Remus' stories of Bre'r Rab-
bit and the Fox. Equally al home in the
Irish brogue. she proved herself in the
little love story of Larry MCGEE.
Miss Carey's little poem. "Memory's

which Miss Eggleston thought should
find a place on every program. Mrs.
Burton Harrisons monologue. "A Young
Widow Alone in a Hotel" was most
captivating little character sketch. Miss
Eggleston here showed her rare power Of
facial expression also. 1t is pleasant to
announce that Miss Eggleston will be

THREE YEARS
HAVE PASSED
They Were Prosperous Ones
to the Boys League.
ANNUAL REPORT Is MADE
Showing What the League
Has Accomplished.

For three years the Boys League Of
this city has been quietly working among
the young men. Outwardly their work
has been little noticed by a great many
people Of this city, but those who have
friends who take an active part inthe work
have noticed many little item that goes
to show what these young men. with the
aid OF prominent business and profess
sional men OF Wichita, have been doing,
not alone in charity lines, but as an edu-
cational feature Of the city.
When the League was first organized
there was comparatively little interest
taken, but the promoters nave labored
hard sometimes under conditions that
would seem to battle any man or woman
but they have triumphed and today can
be found one Of the strongest Christian
charitable and educational organiza tions
in the state. Last night was the first
meeting OF the fourth year of the organ
ization and the secretary, Mr.. Harold
Sternberg, submitted the following re-
port: This report has also been mailed TO
a number of people throughout the city;
Dear Friend During the year that
closed yesterday-the third in its history
the Wichita Boys League received for
the first time, financial help from its
friends in the community. On this ac-
count brief reports of the progress of
the work have been sent to you. and
others, during that time. Now that the
year has closed We desire to submit a
final report covering the twelve months
We hope It will interest you. We believe
it will. The character of our work COM
mends itself, so also does its wide extent
and most of all its remote results that
only eternity can make known. You sec
daily the need Of such homely virutes
as honesty, truthfuness and industry
These the League seek among other
things to teach, and that broad human
sympathy that recognizes that every
man is his brothers keeper.
THE great question of the day is.
League pays. Our report shows the fact
and we want you to know it. OF neces-
sity the report deals with figures There
is no other way of communicating to you
what we are doing and what we have
done. Yet how inadequate mere figures
are in such a connection, moments
thought will show. How can they speak
of the poverty, the disease, the desolate-
ness, the despair for which, as you know,
so often they stand. The report for the
year is as follows:

Eating $50 worth OF chicken potpis
at one meal is an extravagant way Of
living, especially for a resident Of
West Manayunk, where millionaires
are scarce articles. A few years ago
there lived at Pencoyd a young man
who was just making his start in the
world, but has since become one OF
the moneyed men Of the country. In
his early career he became very fond
OF game chickens and invested $50 in
a gamecock Of the choicest fighting
strain. He turned the cock loose with
a lot of common hens. and in his idle
hours enjoyed many battles with birds
owned by neighbors. He came home
from a business trip one day and en-
joyed chicken dinner prepared by his
wife that he thought was the best
meal he had eaten for many days.
Mice chicken" he remarked. YES"
replied the wife; 81 got James to kill
a couple OF old roosters down at the
barn" He finished the meal, took a
stroll out to the barn and found his
pet had disappeared and that he had
eaten a $50 potpie.-Philadelphia Rec
