$3.50 FOR BABES
This Amount Taken in at the

fantS' Home.

The first fair of the season is over.
And it is over with a great flourish of
trumpets and a sound like good thing.
The charity fair for the benefit of the
Infants Home on 1 street, undertaken by
the women of the EmeryHolmes and
given yesterday afternoon and evening,
was for the time il occupied, one of
the most successful ever gwen IN tne
city. Up till the time of closing last
evening, all through a wet and stormy
afternoon and an evening that was not
all that might be desired in the matter
of weather, the place was crowded with
purchasers, and when the last article
was sold and the place cleared out 1T
was estimated that about $3.50 had been
taken in. Since there was virtually no
expense. everything having been donat-
ed. this amount will go in bulk to the
Infants home.
The fair was under the direct manage
ment OF Mrs. Karl Eilers. 1t grew out OF
the plans OF some children. among them
the Eiers children. to do something TO
help the charitable organization which
has done so much for the suffering chill
dren of the town. The mothers were soon
interested and the affair began TO as
sumo large proportions. Mrs. Eilers had
able helpers i'm the general patroneses.

Scene Busy and Brilliant.
The large east dining room presented
a brilliant scene last evening when the
place was ablaZe with lights and the
bright gowns worn by the women were
in evidence. The first table within the
door was devoted TO the sale of cakes,
and here Mrs. G. L. Richards and Mrs.
Elbridge Thomas presided. During one
hour of the afternoon over SIC was taken
in on cakes alone, while the fancy work
table receipts were 500 in a little more
time. The candy table, i'm charge of Mrs
G. r. Pearsall and Miss Minette Baer.
was almost stripped of it's sweets at an
carly hour. and the fishing pond the
place sought by the children. was fished
almost dry.
Mrs. ID. c. Roberts had charge of the
doll table, and the men of the house
made capable assistants i'm the sale of
these staple articles. Miss May Kervin
was stationed among the flowers and
these were finding ready sale, while
Mrs NJ s. Woodward and her assist
ants at the fancy work table were having
hard work 70 find articles enough to
supply their customers
Refreshments Are Served.

The gecko belongs to family or
thick tongued lizards, which are wide
" distributed over the tropical and
subtropcal countries OF Europe and
Asia, and In all countries where he is
known he is thoroughly despised. Be
cause OF his repulsive appearance he
is called the father OF leprosy." Down
to times comparatively modern 1t was
firmly believed that contact either di-
rectly or indirectly with the little rep
tile was sure to communicate leprosy.
The investigations of modern zoolo-
gists have proved that the little animal
is undescrving of his name of father
of leprosy" and that he is indeed a
most harmless and useful creature,
Since the old belief In the ability OF
this reptile TO communicate leprosy 10
any human flesh which might come In
contact with his warty. sore looking
skin was exploded he has retained his
Objectionable name solely on account
of the bad appearance he makes. His
skin Is one mass OF scaly and tuber-
culous excrescences that cover his body
from the tip Of his tail to the end OF
his nose. Every quarter inch section
Of this repulsive looking body has
general resemblance TO the thickened
callous protuberances that appear on
the human body In cases Of leprosy
On this account and no other the harm
less little gecko was given the name OF
being the progenitor Of the worst form
of disease.
