LitBe Mary's father called last Sunday
afternoon at tho Child Saving institute to

Omaha, left her at his brothers home and
then driftcd out into the tide of humanity
to return to Omaha a few weeks ago.
During tho absence Of the father sick

plication for adoption. All the love and at

were promised for Mary by this wealthy
family.
Mary's father was heartbroken when he
realized the true status of affairs. The
way he had deserted the child touched him
to the quick, He buried his head In his
hands and then kissed Marys cheek A

EMMANUEL BAPTIST GROWING
Reports of Officers show church Has
Mnde Gratifying Progress in
Past Year.

The services at Emmanuel Baptist church
Sunday morning were commemorative Of
the first anniversary OF the pastorate Of
Rev. p. II. Mcdowell, and the several
church officers submitted reports of the
church work during the last year. 1t was
shown by the report of the clerk that there
are at present 1870 members Of the church.
forty-three male and eighty-seven female.
There were thirty-nine acquisitions to the
church during the year OF this number
fourteen were by baptism, twenty three by
letter and two by experience. There were
fifteen dismissals during the year and two
deaths
The financial report of the church was
very encouraging, showing as it did a
material reduction of the church indebted
ness, and very few outstanding bills at
this time. Liberal payments have been
made on the church's new lots at Twenty
second and Pinckney streets, and It is ex-
pected that work on the new church build
ing will begin early the coming season.
Upon the conclusion of the reports of
officers, Rev. Mcdowell delivered short
informal address of appreciation to those
who had work to do and have done it. He
said:
Il believe that there is wave of right
eousness sweeping over this land The
holding of an office in the nation as well
as the church is a trust Our church Of
ficers have a keen sense of the obligation
they owe to the church and have served
the church faithfully and with loyal zeal
to the. cause of Christ. I want to thank
all who have helped in the upbuldina Of
this church in the last year. Especially
are our thanks due to the noble women
Of the church. While we are grateful for
the work of the last year let It stimulate
us to greater effort for the coming year.
Prayer, Bible study and personal work are
essential to this end. Let us aim to secure
100 now members by conversion; to a
greater interest in the worldwide worl,
for the Master, and, lastly, let us decide
to celebrate our next anniversary in our
new mccting house,

bower of beauty, containing booths pre-
sided over by the women of the different
organizations and containing all sorts of

BUILDING of Post Exchanges.
Lately the womens Christian Temper
ance union has been attacking General
Humphrey upon tho failure of the quar-
termastcr generals department TO erect
military post exchanges, which include the
library, reading lunch and amusement
rooms and gymnasium in place OF post
cantecns, which were by authority of con-
gress abandoned in 1902. In reply to these
attacks General Humphrey shows in his
report that out of the appropriation OF
$780, 900 made for tho fiscal year 1905 he has
expended $499, 266 in the erection and pur-
chase Of buildings to be used for post ex-
changes. Since tho abandonment of the
post Cantccn $l,5OOO0O has been spent for
tho purposes of military exchanges, the
buildings have been constructed with a
view Of meeting the requirements of the
soldiers along the lines which the post
cantcen furnished them before it's abandon
mcnt.
To the soldier who has had meritorious
service in the wars the service badge is one
of the exceedingly interesting subjects con-
nected with his army record. So many and
varied have been the badges recommended
by congress covering our military history
and so poor has been the workmanship on
.
simonious acts Of congress that many Of
the splendid services rendered by men in
trying conditions have gone for naught so
far as a distinguishing badge goes Gen
eral Humphrey In speaking of the subject
of merit aud campaign badges takes issue
with congress In calling for bids for their
manufacture. From the nature OF these
badges it was desirable that the matter of
quality a metal used artistic treatment OF
the design and beauty and durability of
hnish were wholly lost sight of by the
manufacturers bidding, whereas, he con-
| tends il the department could have pre-
pared the badge and have it properly made.
without being compelled TO call for bids.
much better results would have been Sc
cured.

It Is passing strange that congress in
