HAD ENJOYABLE TIME.
Industrial School Boys Not Over
looked on Christmas.

To the Editor of the State Journal.
The boys, officers, and employees of
the Boys Industrial school enjoyed
very happy Christmas time this year,
and want to tell their folks all over
the state about it through your paper
which goes everywhere. Superintend-
ent Charles and his good wife, the mat
ron, constantly study to help in every
possible way their large family of boys
who are away from hone-the children
OF the state, and that the boys appre-
ciate their kindly efforts is evident to
all. For several weeks work has been
going on to make this Christmas the
most pleasant possible, and they sue
ceeded. That the parents appreciate
all this was shown recently by an
Austrian mother who came up from
Kansas City to see her boy. After look
ing over the school she said: "I feel
so bad all the while I just cry and
cry till most dead for my boy but
now l go home and cry no more for
see how beautiful is this place and how
kind they all are to him. I go home
and cry no more Other mothers will
dry their tears when they next hear
from their boys.
The chapel was never so handsomely
decorated, thanks to our florist, Mr..
Ferguson, who was so well supported
by Mr.. Bacon as stage carpenter, Miss
TORY who designed the motto, Miss
expert ladder climber, wreath twister,
and broom swinger. Two large ever
green trees bore Christmas fruit for all,
and a large bell hung over the plat
form to herald the glad tidings." A
picked company of boys gave 1.-THE
Court of the Children under direction
of the chaplain, Rev. Mr.. MeKirahan,
assisted by Miss Christian and Miss
Downey. The costumes were prepared
by Mrs. Christian and Mrs. ROmeger.
Mr.. Romeger presided at the piano,
while Margaret Charles, Mrs. Drum
mond, Miss Mauks and others did their
part to make the occasion most pleas
ant. A. G. Jones, the steward, had his
hands full for week collecting the
good things to please a boys appetite,
assisted by Mr.. Smith, teanster, who
did a large business in freight, and ex-
press.
Mr. and Mrs. Charles received hand
some silver tea set from B Family, Mr..
Sherwood's. besides other gifts from
employees and friends. Mr.. Jones and
the chaplain were not forgotten. Santa
Claus was represented by one of the
large boys, Rolla Wells, and was as
sisted by two little brownies, Huber
Dodge of Wichita and Ora Gallagher OF
Atchison. A feast was provided the
boys on Christmas day. This occasion
will be long remembered. M.

Seventy-six.

Paris, Dec 26.-Mme. HENRIETTA De
Perron. one of the best Known char
acters of this city. is dead, aged 76.
Every day during the past thirty-six
years she sold newspapers and maya
zines in a kiosk at the corner of the

She was the especial protege of the
Americans who patronized the hotel,
and thousands of them sought her ad-
vice on all subjects.
The old woman's funeral promises to
be one of the most notable Paris has
seen for some time. Members of the

tend in a body. This club for many
years sent carriage nightly to the
