PRESENTATION EXERCISES.
Portrait Of Miss Willard for Business
High School.

81 count it a privilege to speak upon this
most delightful theme" said Rev. Dr.
Frederick d. Power, in the principal ad-
dress before large gathering in the audi
tOrium of the Business High School this
afternoon. The occasion was the oresenta-
ton of a picture Of Miss Frances E. Will
lard to the school by the members of the
Central Y branch of the District w. c.
T. U.
The theme of Rev. DR.. Powers address
was 1.-The Life and Character of Frances
E. Willard and during me course of his
remarks he said: 81 have priced the as
ISOLATION of many great men and wom-
en-. but none have seemed greater to me
than Miss Willard. She spoke often from
my pulpit and to my mind she was our
uncrowned queen.
There are those who have a right to
reign. and she was truly one OF those. She
was a great woman, and as we contemplate
her life we see her greatness. She saw
broadly, wisely and a great distance. Her
childhood was beautiful and in her later
life she was a woman who watched her
opportunities and seized them. At twenty
years of age she was graduate of North
western University. and later teacher.
How well she lived is shown in the fact
that nine years ago. when she passed away,
she was mourned from the Atlantic to the
Pacific. The public press pays tribute to
her life and declares that she was one OF
the greatest women Of the country. She
was. in my estimation. the most eloquent
woman of her time and radiant with the
thoughts of the pure soul. She organized
the most matchless organization in the
world in the w. c. 7. U. Millions will
always speak of her praises, and great
Illinois has placed in the capital of the
country a statue declaring Miss Willard to
be her greatest daughter. but her greatest
work was the Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union. the greatest of all sisterhoods
gathered about the cross of Christ"
The meeting was called to order shortly
after 1 o'clock. when Mrs. Clayton E Emig
introduced Mrs. Ellen Spencer Mussey as
chairman of the meeting. and after the
Canadian Boat Song had been sung by
the assemblage Rev. DR.. Power was pre-
scented.
Seated upon the platform were Mrs. 1lin-
ton Smith, president of the District w. c.
7. u; Rev. DR.. Power. Mrs. Emig and
Chaplain Henry Couden of the House of
Representatives. At the close of DR.. Powers
address Mrs. George Otis Smith delivered
the presentation address and unveiled the
picture which was draped with two large
American flags.
Mr. Allan Davis. principal of the Busi-
ness High School, In a neat address ac-
cepted the picture on behalf of the school. !
Mrs. Ralph Barnard sang IF Were a
Voice." and Chaplain Coudeh brought the
exercises to a close with prayer.

lake at the departing steamboat, but
her tears had dried. There was some
thing so comforting about Guy Blanch-
ard. He was so big and strong and
so kind to little folks. He would do
something; he said he would.
Presently she heard soft coughing
sound, and then came Blanchard,s
voice in CHEEKY hail. She slipped from
her perch and peered over the edge Of

There, just below her, was Blanchard

slipped through the water so easily
that Kitty did not realize how fast

it was rapidly dwindling.
