surprise Monday night by a large
delegation Of her Christian I'm.
deayor and church friends, the
occasion being her birthday. AT.

without notice or warning and
proceeded to take possession of
the home and have a general good
time. Her mother had been pre-
pairing for the occasion and when
the hour arrived a large birthday
cake was brought out, and each
guest took a generous slice hop

The Christian Science Lecture.

me ChFtSttAn Science Lecture
Judge VIM. G. Ewing, of Chi
cago, was greeted last Sunday
afternoon by a large and intelli-
gent audience of our best citizens
While we are not a critic yet we
know when anything suits
Us, and we are free to say that a
better, more consistent and logi-
cal discourse we never heard in
Rich Hill. The Judge, in our
opinion, maze more friends for
the cause he prOclaims than any
platform orator that has yet pre-
ceeded him. The evident SINGER
ity and earnestness of the man
made mis- address impressive up.
on his entire audience. No
Christian, from our standpoint,
could object to the doctrine he
taught, for it was simply the
acme of the teachings Of all the
churches. Judge Ewing him
self is a very pleasant, unassum.
ing gentleman Of genial manners
aud brim full OF the subject that
lies nearest his heart. He has
in the past and will in the future
do good wherever he goes. Ev.
eryone that heard him was well
pleased, even though they might
not agree with the doctrine
taught by his church.

Or climbing up on buildings high

Or resting themselves in Union Square,
Smoking pipes and free from care. r

But where they slept no one could say.

"That advertising pays" said he;
"I'll write the AID and then I'll see =

The Ad was written and here's the way
It read in print the following day:

But he owns dog, this terrier white;
He's Pete's companion day and night"
Said TEDDY-B, as the lad stepped up,
How much will you take for your terrier pup7"
But Pete replied, "Not much you don't;
Sell Cribs for chinkq Well, guess I won'tj
But Cribs and me will be your guides,
And shine 'em up, your shoes, besides"
"How old are youq'' said TEDDY-B,

"And my home is always on the street

The lad and dog were told to taks
A basket full Of fruit and cake
And wait around FOR an hour or TIVE
TIL every boy had an interview.
The next In turn was Homer West
In summer suit, the very best

And eyes SO clear he could look YOU thru
And following him came Bobbie Hoe,
The biggest boy In all the row.

And Charlie Smith and Tommy Gore,
And Edward Brown and hundreds more.

As he entered nine hundred and ninety-threey
"seven boys more and then we're thru;
But what In the world are we going to DO
With thousand guides and terrier pupf
The sum 3 too hardj I give 1t up.'
The boys were grouped around the tree
And lunch was served by TEDDY-G.
Then TEDDY-B spoke up and said,
The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1906-04-29
Who II work as hard as most boys play,

Who II work as hard as most boys playJ
And start the Job for dollar q day; @

And week vacation with each new moon,
And board thrown in and clothes as we'll,
And other things this Ad can't tell + !.
Call around tomorrow at half past nine
In Central Park where you III see sign
In the pasture lot If the day is fine,
On an old oak tree near the roadway there,
Written cardboard two feet square,
And signed below by Roosevelt Bear.n
TEDDY--B went up to the Park that night
And put up tho notice, square and white,
In the pasture lot on the old oak tree
Where every boy who came could see
The Bears next day took hanson ride
To Central Park to hire their guide.
They sent q wagon on ahead
With cakes and fruit and baker, bread,
And stools and table and camping tent,
And other things they got on rent.
). They reached the Park at haR-past eight,
The boys were entering by every gate,
And crowding towards the old oak tree
The written notice there to sec.
Some were dressed in their Sunday best
And came prepared for the hardest test;
While others with scarcely a thing to wear,
( And without a nickel to pay their fare,
And with hair uncombed and dirty face,
Had walked for miles to get the place.
For an hour the Bears rode up and down
Watching the lads from every town
Who had come by train and trolley car
And scores on foot from near and far
The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1906-04-29

The Bears put up at a good hotel,
But its name and place they wouldn't tell.
They came to New York, they said, to see
Its boys and girls and to be entirely free
From club engagements and street parade,
And fashion calls and speeches made
At midnight dinners, and other cares
Too bothersome for mountain bears.
They came East to learn, of course, they said,
But not to toll for their daily bread.
They spent some days in seeing the town:
Doing Fifth Avenue up and down,
Crossing the Park for morning run;
Or riding subway trains for fun;

And take a week each month for play.

At half-past nine, said TEDDY-B,
E<Let pitch tent by the old oak tree
And line up the lads for an interview
And find out if they know their P and c."
cline up the lads!' said TEDDY-G,
Elbow many lads, do you think, have we?
The row would cross the Park at best
From north to south or east to west.
But I III go ahead and make line,
And then roll it up like ball Of twine'
TEDDY-B took his place beneath the tree,
While the names were called by TEDDY-G.
The first in line was Billy White;
To be in time he had stayed up all night
He hadn t hat or coat or shoe,
But the thing that counted was what he knew.
In reply to questions by TEDDY-B,
He said he had younger brothers three;
That his father died five years ago; ~.
But he wanted the Roosevelt Bears to know
That if he got the job he'd earn the pay
And show them round both night and day.
TEDDY-B wrote down what Billy said,
And asked him then to step ahead,
And have some lunch and wait around
Till he saw each boy upon the ground
The next in line was Andy Clark;
Like Billy White he had come at dark
And sat beside the old oak tree
With other boys since half-past three.
TEDDY-B put questions good and hard
And wrote the answers on card
His age and height and what he knew
Of baseball scores and the man who threw
The curviest ball and the swiftest too;
And how much a working boy should do
For full days pay, and what he thought
OF knocking off when the days were hot.
But Andy answered quick and smart:
"You can bet on me; I'll do.my part"
ssThis little lad,,,' said TEDDY-G,
As he introduced boy number three 4
"Hasn't home and never had
Father or mother, good or bad.
His name, he says, is Muddy Pete
And he makes his home upon the st.seet.
The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1906-04-29

"We'H think 1t over tonight in bed:
The boy we want and what to pay,
And the plan Of work for every day.
When we've decided which lad to hire,
Well send message to him by wire.
You'll hear before the night is thru
If the lucky guide we hire is you"
Then TEDDY-B each boys hands shook,
And said goodby and wished him luck;
While TEDDY-G right then and there
Gave needy boys their railway fare.
AS the Bears returned to their hotel
They heard Muddy Pete his terrier tell:,
"That job is ours; as good as done;
We beat 'em eating, two to one.
III bet you, Cribs, as sure's you IRE white
Well get that telegram tonight"

Beside these shirts, there are very
attractive little white flannel suits
which may be worn on any outing, for
tennis, or driving which consist of
shirt waist and skirt in simple de-
sign. White appears in everything with
black as a smart contrast. Black is
promised great prominence In the
early fall but 1t seems to have antict.
pated its popularity to such an extent
that It is gracing all smart costumes.
When a suit is of white the hat and
gloves are Of black as well as the foot
gear. Numerous black and white mall
inette ruches and boas are being worn
and look especially well on women, not
too young.
COOL AND DAINTY NEGLIGEES.
Many very attractive negligees for
house wear are quite simple to make
and require but small outlay to re-
alize. These are of lawn and dimity
which come in the most attractive de-
signs. One pretty pattern slips on
over the head. 1t has a square yoke
cut out in square neck. and the lower
portion hangs in full folds from to
| yoke. The sleeves are of elbow length
and these too hang free from any band
J at the lower edge. The advantages of
this are that it can be slipped on at
seconds notice and no buttons re-
main to be fastened when it is once on
Then, too, 1t is immensely becoming 10
any wearer. The sack ends at the hip
line. Others are of the loose flowing
variety edged down the front and about
the neck and sleeves with soft fllmy
ruffes These are of white lawn and
Swiss. Dotted Swiss makes up into
very attractive negligees as well as
! blouses for nice wear.

cool GARMENTS FOX COMFORT.
The Shirtwais the Leader-tAhite
the Coolest Color.
Bertha Browning.

The month of August means a good
many warm days and those who stay
at home as we'll as the more fortunate
individuals who enjoy the coolness Of
some resort need cool apparel. 1t has
always been true everywhere that
white proved much less warm beneath
scorching sun than darker tone
and the American woman has adopted
1t as her summer wardrobe this year.
Everything which can be of white will
be found much cooler and pleasanter
to look upon than other colors and
this means every article of dress. 1t
is scientific fact that white is the
coolest, as black is the warmest color.
The fashion makers have supplied
womankind with real summer dress
this year. No more hot collars and
fitted waists for summer wear but in
stead, neck wear of sheerest lace or
material and loose comfortable-lookin
blouses suitable for all ages. The
shirt waist is the real monarch of the
field for general wear and this takes
a very wide variety of forms, from
the dressy and fussy waist elaborately
| embroidered and inset with lace to the
real negligee shirt with its low collar
and half-sleeves. The latter is new
conner this season and is favored by
the girl who enjoys any sort of out.of
door sport. 1t is made of madras, lin
en-. lawn and silk and prettily trimmed
with flat collar. cuffs and tie Of the
same or contrasting color.
