Orphanage Day.

Every growing organization,
enterprise or private home has de-
mands from time to time for an
outly of money extra of the
current expenses required to run
it. This is the natural consequence
of orphanage work. The history
of older orphanages than ours is
one building, two buildings and
on to thirteen, fourteen and to
greater numbers as the work grew.
To help to meet such expenses, all
older orphanages have instituted
and united on one day in the year
known as Orphanage Day, asking
the friends of the homeless and
helpless to give the earnings of
that day for the use of the Homes.
We have selected the first Satur-
day in October for Our Home.
We were very much gratifed at
the hearty responses to our appeal
last year. In other states where
this day has been observed for
years, it is among the happiest
DAVIS of the wear. Sunday Schools
and churches talk it and work it,
Many Schools in the country send
in twenty-five and thirty dollars.
The children plan for a days work
to earn something, from picking
cotton, selling fruit, milk, backing
shoes, fishing and various other
things, for which they have
planned and prayed that it may be
the biggest earnings of the year.
Professional men beforehand con-
secrate that days earnings to the
Lord for this object and trust Him
as they give big sums. Fathers
and mothers, with each member of
your family, pause for a moment
to look around you at the comforts
of your home, the happiness of the
sweetest earthly ties and source Of
the most sacred joys given us by
God, that of loved ones and home,
then think of the broken ties that
often were as sweet and dear as
yours, though may be causing
children to be fatherless, mother
less and homeless in poverty, then
from a sense of gratitude get your
consent to give this day s earnings,
or part of it, as you see fit, to
this great work. God will enlarge
your heart and soul that you may
enjoy the more the blessings of
your children and home. Your
children will be sweeter and
better from having earned some
thing from the labor of their own
hands, to give necessities and~com-
forts to the dear little boys and
girls here in our home totally de-
pendent on the love and mercy Of
the good people of our country.
One of the great blessing of tn.
Orphanage is, it develops that
beautiful spirit of unselfshuess in

Opera House.

In these days of theatrical advance
men, it is the doing of things on scale
of marked magnitude than brings
triumph, and the bigger and grander
the proportions and magnitude of a
stage Offering, the more keen the public
interest in it's welfare.
Acting upon this knowledge, Jed
Carlton has fashioned his attractions
for this season, with a view to the
largest expositions of Entertaining fea-
lures. "The Black Spider" which is bill
ed for hearing at Van Werden's opera
house on November furnishes con-
elusive proof of how far managerial grit
and audacity will go.
1t is learned upon ample authority
that this attraction is one entitled
to special distinction because of it's
strong endorsement of originality.
Mr.. Carlton has long been recognize
ed as one of the most daring of
theatrical plungers and it is therefore
not at all surprising to note with
what determination he has proceed
ed in a direction opposite to his tre-
mendous success, "Was She to Blame?"
and ellis Fathers SIM" The Black
Spider is entirely different in every
way, a better, stronger play of the high
er class. A picked cast has been engag-
ed, composed of actors and actresses
who have proved their right to the
title by successful engagements with
the best Of metropolitan stock compa-
MES and travelling organizations. A
full equipment of beautiful scenery is
only one of the many items which con-
stitutes the rightful claim this attrac-
tion has to public approval and support.

Ed Monroe's Barn Burned. /.

The big barn on the farm of Ed
Monroe, mile southeast of Garden
Grove, was destroyed by fire last Thurs
day evening, and five extra fine horses
were burned, together with 25 tons of
hay, harness and considerable other
property. Mr.. Monroe was at Lamont
at the time of the fire, which was dis
covered when Clarence Bartlett drove
along the road and he gave the alarm,
but the fire had gained such headway
that nothing could be saved. Mr..
Monroe's five head of horses were
worth at least $1,000, and he carried in
surance on them to the amount of $3.50.
The barn was one of the old time barns
with hewed frames and will be hard to
replace. The total loss is somewhere in
the neighborhood of $4,000, and the
total insurance about $1,100.

Sunday morning when the car was ex-
amined it was found that something
over four hundred chickens were dead,
having been smothered to death. The
coops were piled closely on top of each
other, and were loaded in close furni-
ture car, SO that there was not enough
air for all the chickens and they had to
die. The loss will be in the neighbor-
hood of hundred and fifty dollars.
