The expression knocked into cock

perhaps it's origin is not SO generally
known. Cooked hat was n variety of
the game of bowls In which only three
pins were used, set up at the angles OF
a triangle. When, in bowling tenpins'
all were knocked down except the
three at the corners, the set was said
to be knocked into cooked hat, -
whence the popular expression for de

One of the most interesting of Sa-

should make a very strong appeal to
public sympathy, is the Day Nursery

was founded by the Kings Daughters
Union, by which it is conducted, and
through the efforts of which it is al
most entirely supported.
The union itself was formed Nov. Is,

Mrs. N. J. Alderman has returned
to the city, after a trip of several
weeks. During her visits to other
cities she has received most fiattering
compliments and notices wherever she

of her voice. Mrs. Alderman will con-

thirty plays and discussing the merits

This was given most successfully in
New York some years ago. The play is
by Arthur Pinero, one of the most sue
cessful of playwrights. 1t has fourteen
characters and each one is placed in
capable hands, it being the purpose of
the school to make this one of the
most successful local productions ever
given. The play is comedy drama and
