Settled in Short order.

There once lived happy family Of three chill
dren all girls. One day was sitting in a
chair cutting little paper boat to sail ON the
water near which they lived. Very soon the other
two children in, and, seeing the other one
cutting boat. they wished to follow suit; but
they had but pair of scissors, and therefore
the children fell to quarreing over which should
have the scissors. On the scene appeared their
mother. young woman, who settled the dispute
ina very short time. She took the scissors
away, whipped them all, and sent them cut of
the hut, crying at the top of their voices. But
they enjoyed themselves even if they had had
quarrel. They went down to the water and
padded in it short time, and then went home
and lived happily ever afterwards

Like peaceful oil poured on the angry sea:
And most we honor of that noble band.
The pilgrim mothers of our native land.
Upon the rugged frontier. where by night
The hungry. barking wolf put sleep to flight
And all the day, cruel and pitiless.
The savage filed the lonely wilderness
With untold terror. there her daring heart
Took in the peril and the fear its part;
She there the struggling woodman stood be.,aa
Or nobly DER his mangled body died.
And thus her beauty masters the most strong.
And lives in warriors deeds and poets song

FROM THEORY TO WORK
NURSES GRADUATED FROM DEA-
CONFESS TRAINING SCHOOL.
raduatin Address Delivered by DR.
L. II. Dunning, Who Outlined n
Nurses Career.

The first commencement of the Protest
ant Deaconesses' Hospital Training School
for Nurses was held at the hospital last
night and l-lree graduates presented with
diplomas after their study in the three
year course of the school. The programme
of exercises consisted of piano solos by
Miss Grace Roberts, and Miss Estelle Goss,
a vocal solo by Miss Bess Carol and man
dolin and guitar music by Hal Stoddard
and Hal Coffle. The Rev. j. c. Peters, the
president Of the hospital and school, de-
livered the invocation and introduced DR..
L.. HI. Dunning, who made the graduating
address.
DR.. Dunning commended the three grad.
yates, Misses Cossetta Moon, Margaret
Fertig and Bessie Funk, on their earnest
study and successful graduation. He de-
scribed the career before them and said
that their success depended entirely on
their own efforts. He impressed on them
that to be competent and efficient nurses it
Is necessary for them first to be good wom-
en-. Their work as it progressed would
grow easier, and when they had had ex-
perience as nurses for several years they
would regard 1t as a labor worthy of the
sex. He spoke to the graduates on the
necessity for application to the principles
learned in the school. obedience to the in
structions of the physicians under whose
direction they may work. and frugality,
that in their older years they may be indie
pendent and capable of self-maintenance.
DR.. c. E. Ferguson, superintendent of the
school and a member of the faculty, pre-
sented the diplomas after a short talk to
the nurses. He said the idea held by most
women o. a nurse was that acquired from
the reading OF novels, wherein the army
nurse does nothing but smooth the achino
head of her patient, learn to love him and
after receiving letters from him as soon as
he leaves the hospital finds out she loves
MIN and Is married to live happily ever
after. Instead Of this sort of existence. DIR
Ferguson described some of the duties of
professional nurses and told several laugh
able experiences of misguided young women
who had secured positions in hospitals TO
find that they were not only compelled 10
make the beds of the patients, but to at
tend many undesirable patients.

A dramatization of Miss Mary Johnston's

PARIS, Nov. 26.-'"The Premier of Bac-
cheus,' a two-act ballet based on Nor
NETS poem of the same name, music by
Edmond Duvernoy, was given at the opera
house tonight. The scene of the ballet
is laid in India. King Dasartha is carous-
ing while his country is being invaded. A
priestess named Yadma repulses his love
and reproaches the king with his conduct
in pursuing pleasure instead of opposing
the enemy. For this reproach/ Yadma is
loaded with chains and thrown into a
dungeon, but a fakir called Mount recalls
the king to his duty and Yadma is in
trusted with a mission to influence and
then poison the invader. When the priest
ess enters tie tent of the sleeping con-
queror she recognizes him as Baccheus,
whose image has long haunted her dreams,
and finally she snatches the cup of poison
from his hand. She confesses her love for
him and the ballet ends with a gorgeous
festal in honor of love of wine and his
victory. which is given by Baccheus to
the Indian princes.
The work is staged and costumed with
all the splendor and perfection usual at
the Paris Opera House, and the pantomime
of the piece was effectively acted.
