A MOST TALENTED READER
Mrs. Turner Of Pasadena Delights The Ladies
Of the Shakespeare and Friday Clubs.

Those who had the pleasure of at
tending the readings given by Mrs.
Turner of Pasadena given at the as
sembly room of the Carnegie library
on last Saturday evening were charm
ed indeed. One hears so often ANA
tours who have few selections of q
certain style committed to memory,
that to listen to a woman of true
literary ability, capable of under
standing and presenting the full
meaning of authors along many lines.
was indeed refreshing. After giving
three selections from Shakespeare in
a highly satisfactory manner, the tai
ented reader took up literature of q
lighter vein and soon again had her
hearers amused and deeply interested.
Mrs. Turner. finding her audience ap-
preciative. continued her program for
nearly two hours. She was eulogisti
ly introduced by Miss Edith Gilmor
on behalf of the Friday club and Mrs.
Geo. Richardson rendered thanks in
closing. speaking for the Shakespeare
club. In the early part Of the even
ing Mrs. Lou Martin and Mrs. Chas.
McWilliams gave a pleasing duet.
At the CONCLUSION many stepped for
ward to be introduced to Mrs. Turner
and to congratulate on the delightful
evening she had given her friends.

BISHOP MORRISON LEFT AT VAIL
The Car Porter Had Him Leave the Train Sat-
urday Night at Wrong Station.

One of those incidents of travel
which are indeed vexatious occurred
to Bishop Morrison on coming to
Denison Saturday night for the serv-
ices on the following Sunday. He
was on the train which should reach
here from the east at 9:22 p. m.
On the arrival of the train at Vail,
the next station east. the car por-
ter called "Denison and directed
the distinguished churchman to alight.
The train was off before the mistake
was recognized. There was nothing
to do but hire livery and make
the remainder of the journey by team.
AS the Bishop is not in ROBUST
health the trip in the night air was
most trying to him. He arrived
here at about eleven and was glad
to reach such accommodation as
were given him at the Hotel Deni-
son.

Gun Discharged By Centrifugal Force.

An English inventor living in New
York devised a powderless rapid
fire gun which resembles a cylindri-
cal pencil sharpener or a meat chop
per more than it does a weapon of
warfare. All there is to it is a big
wheel with crank revolving it. In
the 10-in. model shown in the illus
tration this can be turned by hand.
Balls of lead or st.el are poured into
the machine, the operator revolves the
wheel. the bullets are drawn in by a
vacuum and pour out in steady
stream. The idea was formulated
after seeing wheel burst and noting
the force with which its parts were
thrown. From illustrated article,

BISHOP MORRISON AT DENlSoN|
This Distinguished Head Of the Episcopal
Church in Iowa Visited Denison Last
Sunday.

In the course of his duties as head
of the church in Iowa Rt. Rev. Theo-
dore N. Morrison visited Denison
last Sunday. Rev. Corbitt. the faith
full rector in charge and his assistants
had arranged the details for the SER
vice with much care. At the proper
time the choir. altar boys. and candi-
dates for confirmation made pro-
cessional down the church aisle, all in
white vestments singing the opening
hymn. 1t made a most pleasing
scene. The regular morning service
for the day was carried out, Rev.
Corbitt leading. At the conclusion
of this service three young ladies.
Winifred Wright. Alma Wright and
Lucy Drake presented themselves be-
fore the altar and kneel,ng were con-
firmed az members of the Episcopal
church. On these being seated the
Bishop advanced to a chair in front
and seating himself gave the sermon
of the day. lie is not in the best of
physical health and thus sat until the
concluding sentences of his talk.
Bishop Morrison is most able man
and his words on this occasion were
worthy of his Office and scholarly
abilities. He explained what it was
to be Christian defining it to be
"Christlike.
There was clear marking out of
the physical and sensual from the
spiritual. and an urgent persuasive
appeal for growth in the spiritual
which was eternal. Those privileged
to De present heard a sermon which
they will not soon forget, if they
gave attention. Under the rectorship
of Rev. Corbitt, Trinity church is not
only holding its own, but gaining in
it's influence in this city.

One of the pleasing things in con-
nection with the late missionary and
educational meetings at the Baptist
church was the reception given on
Friday evening at the home of Mrs.
Crippen near the Carnegie library.
The young ladies of the church had
the affair in charge. and served dainty
refreshments. Miss Porter. of the
oratorical department of the Normal
school gave number of readings in
a pleasing manner. 1t was time
for getting acquainted and much en-
joyed. President Osborn of the Des
Moines Baptist college took occasion
to meet some of the young people
who might want higher education in
the future.

CONDITION OF THE HEATHER
Prof. Laughidge Late Of India Speaks at the
Baptist Church.

On last Friday evening there was
a missionary meeting at the Baptist
church. which was addressed by Prof.
who was for many years
a missionary in India. He took for
his special theme the condition of
the "Child Widows of India. 1t is
the custom for girls even five years
old to be married. In the choice of
who her husband shall be the girl has
no voice After the marriage cere-
mony she often remains with her par
ents until at an age to become wife
to her husband. If at any time her
husband dies. she is said to be at
fault and for this she must live an
outcast the remainder of her life.
Her head is shaved. she cannot eat
with any other person except one
like herself. No man can legally,
or under sanction of the religious
leaders, marry a widow, and so the
lives of these poor girls and women
is most pitiful one. Some commit
suicide. others enter life of shame,
and some continue out miserable
existence until death releases them.
At the conclusion of the talk there
was q program participated in by q
number of the girls of the church.
What they said was designed to en-.

We thoroughly agree with Mr.. Allen
that there should be this proper school
environment, but we emphatically insist
that to put the truth concerning alcohol
and nicotine into the mind and heart of
child will do more for the molding OF
that child's character and for fitting
him to comply with the requirements of
the business world than simply to place
him in a proper environment while in
school. If it be true that "out of the
heart are the issues of life" then there
can be no broader motive for the teach
ing of physiology and hygiene than that
which actuated the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union in securing the
passage of the laws requiring this in
struction.
Again, Mr.. Allen quotes number of
foolish and ridiculous statements cleaned
from eight text books on physiology and
hygiene, and gives these as specimens
of the teaching required by law. The

so greatly benefited by this world-famed
food that she did not object to the So
briquet given her by friends. She
writes:
From over-work my health failed me

Nearly everyone [ knew had something
to recommend, and | tried them all with
out benefit
"a cousin, however, was persistent in
recommending GrapeNuts, because OF
the really wonderful good the food had
been to her Finally she sent me pack
age and to please her I commenced to
eat it.
almost from the very start my
strength began to improve, and soon
began to gain in weight. After about
five months eating Grape-Nuts for break
fast and supper daily, l became well
again
"My appearance improved so much
my friends wondered and asked the rea-
son. told them it was Grape-Nuts and
nothing else | have talked so much
about the benefits to be derived from
this food that they have nick-named me

least. This food has certainly proved
great blessing to me-" There's Rea-

test, inaugurated by this department, five
hundred thousand essays were written
by school children on 'The Value of

ent year the returns show that there
will be in the neighborhood of million
such essays. A systematic plan is
adopted in these essay contests; the
local union offers prize for the best
essay written in the high school or the
two higher grades; the schools of the
county or district compete for another
prize; the prize essays of the counties
or districts compete for the state prize;
and the states compete for the national
prize These prizes range in value from
one dollar to thirty-five dollars for local
prizes; the national prize, given by the
superintendent of scientific temperance
instruction for the best essay written by
a high school student, is an annual prize
of fifty dollars; and the Mary c. Upham
prize, given for the best essay written
in the grades, is an annual prize of
thirty dollars. To these has now been
added the Susan J. Steele prize" of one
