In a study of the physiological as

been brought out that the character

some French scientists that some con-

made in Typography, working along
these lines. and that increased legibil-

received a practical application in
some European advertising signs.

summer to his Lake Erie fruit farm
at Cedar Springs. Ontario. Like
most amateur farmers, Mr.. Stringer
does not find his fruit raising a source

New century Club.

Last Mondays meeting, "Temper
ance and Education" was in charge of
Mrs. Atkins and Miss Davis, and a
programme of exceptional interest was
rendered. Mr.. HynsOn in his address
on Education" spoke in laudatory
terms of the public schools, and con-
trasted the work being done by them
with that of the private school. The
private school is going because Of the
excellence Of its rival, the public school.
The best equipped men who enter our
colleges come from the high schools.
The study Of the sciences shows the
broadening of modern educational prin'
ciples. Mr.. La Rue gave short talk
on ITEM perance" as national curse, in
which he suggested a reform by means
of love and sympathy rather than de-
pending upon legislation. True reform
can only come about with change OF
heart Train the children in self-re'
straint and self-control, and so make
them temperate in all things. Miss
Pauline ABBOTT in her inimitable man.
ner gave a piano solo which was fit
ting accompaniment TO the afternoons

BENEFIT PERFORMANCE
FOR FRISCO SUFFERERS.

Ope of the pleasing Incidents Of the
generous and general response of the
people of Milford to CalifOrnia's cry for
help, was the spontaneous pToffer of
talent for a public entertainment to as.
sist in the work of raising funds.
In ten minutes after the subject was
first mentioned, a program was ar
ranged. A few minutes later the use
the Armory had been given by Captain
Lank ColOuel Townsend donated all
printing, The Light and Water Board
agreed TO furnish light free, and the
merchants expressed eagerness to help
the good cause along.
Before the tickets were printed lots
Of $500 and $40 10 worth had been sold
and turned back to be Te.sOld, and all
the week the interest has grown.
There were generous proffers OF assis-
tance for the program from several
quarters, which were greatly appreci-
ated, but it was thought best to make
this a Milford offering, in talent and ia
every other way.
From all indications there will be one
of the largest audiences tonight that
ever gathered in the town of Milford.
The music will be given by Miss Maris
Causey, pianist; the Misses Holeomb
Little, Davis, and Barker vocaiists.
Mr.. George B. HynsOn, formerly in
structor in elccution at the University
of Pennsylvania, will recite number
of selections, concluding with "Poemi
Here at Home, " being series Of his owl
writings, some published, and other'
which will be given for the first time.
In addition, to assist in the gooc
work, Mrs. Hynson will recite two
numbers.
Aside from the noble cause, the pro
gram is a guarantee Of an entertain
ment equal to the price Of admission.

Our Billy Is Dead.

There was sadness deep and genuine
Thursday morning in the office of the
Chronicle, when the work of the day
commenced, and the fact was made
known that "Billy" had died during
the night previous. Too true, our
"Billy" was found lying on the floor
cold in death when the office was
opened; and. tender hands removed the
collar. laid the body into a tiny coffin
and deposited it in a grave. "Billy"
was we'll known to every merchant IN
South Milford, kind and affectiOnate,
industrious, but pugnaciOus in the ex'
treme toward all dogs which might
trespass on his domain. He was not
old, but from the time he first wan
dered into the Chronicle Office rooms, a
dilapidated specimen, he grew into
the affections of the employees, and
under the affects of good living, and
kind treatment, grew to be hand
some. But be paid the debt of nature,
and now "BiIiy" is but q memory Of a
fine speciment of the cat family.
