THE ADVERTISING CARNIVAL

The Advertising Carnival or
Trades Extravaganza that is be-
ing promoted by Mrs. Holli-

Baptist Aid Society, is progress
ing in a most satisfactory man
ner.
Nearly a half hundred firms
have consented to be advertised
and they will be represented by
Lafayette's best talent in a way
that each feature will seemingly
outrival the previous one.
Everything suggested by this
gOrgeously beautiful entertain
ment is unique, original. rare
or artistic, hence the au-
dience that greets this meritor-
iOus local production cannot
fail to be impressed with all the
advisors do or say for the benefit

accurately, keenly. His phySl'
cal and mental eye is open. DR..
Ellis gave a number of stories
and experiences to illustrate
his meaning, one illustration
being the life of one of his
schOolmates whose parents were
full of life and health and energy,
but this boy had not the will nor
energy to master his lessons
hardly to make his way to and
from school. He was a victim
of the cigarette and his eye was
dim, hearing dulled, his muscles
made inactive
Boys are made up Of grit.
core and am bition," said DR..
Ellis. ITO illustrate what l
mean by grit: The street car
was across the railroad track;
a long freight train was bearing
down upon the car full of people,
the people became frantic, all
rushed to the door, but all
crowding to the door no one got
out, as is always the case when
people become excited. The
mOtorman was furiously at work
trying to replace his trolley
wheel on the wire, but being
scared and trembling failed in
his frantic attempts. The
freight. unable to stop was
coming closer and closer, and
it seemed that all would be
killed. just at this moment
the street car slid off the rail
road track as if by magic. A
little newsboy had seen the
situation, comprehended the
danger, had dropped his papers,
hurriedly climbed a post, slid
off onto the car and replaced the
trolley just in time for the car
to escape with jerk that
brought the little fellow to the
ground, the train barely missing
him. This was a hero who, had he
been a commanding officer
would have won battles upon
the field and the plaudits of a
nation. Here was a genuine
hero. a boy of true grit.
A true boy has core. A little
Scotch boy seing a poor little
girl with tattered clothes and
bare feet standing on the cold
gray stones of a side walk in
Edinboro on a windy wintry
day looked in pity at her for a
moment, then took off his thick
woolen coat and said: Here ye
mon stand on that This
surpas ses any t h n g
that Raleigh, born and
reared a courtier. did. for he
could not have done differently
had he wished. {"
No one could hear DIR. Ellis
and not get a better understand
ing of the problem of edu eating
a boy or girl and get into appre-
ciative touch with the work the
teachers of to-day are attempting.
And it is to be regretted that
every parent in Lafayette could
not have heard him.
