A JOLLY TRIP.
Baptist Young People Had Plenty of
Fun Going to Philadelphia.

AS before stated, Wednesday eve
ming was the time set for the Railway
Social at the Baptist church and it
proved to be one of the most unique
and enjoyable affairs they have ey'
had and everybody knows that me-
a great deal. II there is anything
new under the sun to be gotten up in
the way of Il church entertainment,
the Y. p, s. c. f., of the Baptist
church. are going TO have it. But
this time they succeeded in getting
up something as add as it was inter-
esting and they kept their audience
in roars of laughter. The trip wNs to
be taken to Philadelphia and as Ne
crowd gathered was a large o.e,
they could easily have filled several
more ears.
FIRST, | will describe the train. A
miniature engine was placed on a
large table and near it vas a scuttle
of coal and a shovel. The crew were
all railroad men and that made it
seem more real. The engineer was
Christopher Jones, the fireman Frank
Hause, the conductor Tracy Dill and
the brakeman Louis Dill. The train
was made up of two long rows Of
chairs. the same as in cars, with an
aisle between them. The fireman
had a whistle which was blown, and
the train, which was loaded with peo-
ple, was started. the engine going
back and forth on the table. But be-
fore starting there was a large tlme
with a number of passengers, some OF
whom were determined, in spite OF
the rules, to bring their baggage on
board instead of leaving it in the
baggage room.
One of the ladies. Miss Alva Comp
ton, carried a bird cage and they
tried to put her off of the train, Dut
she showed fight and an aged couple,
Miss Nettie McKenna and Howard
Dill, dressed in real country style,
started TO get aboard with a large
valise which was snatched away from
them and taken to the baggage room,
only to be brought back again by
the little old lady, who looked very
cute in her large poke bonnet, and
she too, showed fight when they
tried to get the valise again.
Umbrellas were used and they ran
through the car chasing each other
and the fun and merriment was
great. There were other comic char
acters and they all did we'll. Finally
they were off and tickets were punch
ed by the conductor, papers, maya
zines and candies were sold on the
train and Fireman Hause blew the
whistle and called out the stations
until they arrived at Hightstown,
where they stopped to take on a
bride and groom. | think Miss Bes-
sic Mundy and William Edwards was
the bridal couple. They We're show
cred with rice, corn, etc. They stop
ned there for luncheon, which was
served on the train-sandwiches and
coffee-after which the train pro-
ceeded to Philadelphia. There was
something amusing occurring all
along the route and it was the very
~iolliest entertainment possible. Ice
cream and cakes were sold and a
nice sum of twenty of more dollars
was realized from that and the ad-
mission fee of ten cents. h enter
tainment would bear repetition.

NOURISH

the body, don't dose it
with medicine. SCOTS
Emulsion is the best
nOurishment in existence.
1t is more than a food1
you may doubt it, but it
digests perfectly easy and
at the same time gets the
digestive functions in a
condition SO that ordinary
food can be easily di-
gested. Try it if you are
run down and your food
doesn't nourish'you.
