CROWD OF 100 BABIES
A Hundred Babies Were Assembled
in the Methodist Church at a
Reception for Them.

The Cradle Roll in the Methodist
church is something of an Institution
in connection with the church. and
In the years to come it will be more
of an important factor than 1T is
today. There are 225 babies who are
members CT the Cradle Roll, which
is in charge Of Mrs. Lewis Shuster.
Saturday afternoon a reception vas
rendered to the members Of the
Cradle Roll In the basement of the
church and 1t was filled with the
babies and their mothers. Over 100
babies under three years old we're
present and the little ones were given
full freedom Of the large room, rum
ming hither and tEither and indulg.
ing in their baby amusements. 1t
would have done the heart OF Presi-
dent Roosevelt good to have wit
messed the collection Of babies In
the basement and it was indeed quite
a sight to see so many little ones
gathered irto one crowd. A program
of songs and recitations was given by
the little tots and it was highly
entertaining.
Refreshments we're served of
animal crackers, milk, ETC.. which
the little mes devoured with
voracious appeti5es. When the
mothers and their babies departed
the streets was lined with baby cabs
and little go-carts as they marchcq
on their homeward way. The oc-
casion was the first Of the kind ever
held in the city, and doubtless others
will follow at intervals.

were but given his o%ppoitunitv to
rise out OF the depths in which he
had been held since the days Of
slavery that he would carve out for
himself, with the help of the
nation, a place commanding in tue
eyes of his traducers of today. He
held that industrial independence was
the one thing which was TO elevate
the nergo to a higher plane of
civilization. MI. Dobson presented
his subject in a very thorough
manner and covered the doubtful
points we'll.
While the committee was out
making up the markings from the
decision OF the judges on thought
and style and delivery, Prof. Fullen-
wieder played several violin solos.
A hush fell over the audience
when Miss VIVA Baker appeared OH
the platform to announce the winner.
When the last number was given It
was conceded. that john. Dobson
would he the winner, and when Miss
Baker stated the same for a fact
bedlam was turned loose with all
the appliances which the students
had brought to the hall to celebrate
the victory. Mr.. Dobson made the
best showing in the markings that
he received from the judges Of any
orator who has appeared in the local
contests for a good many years. He
received three firsts on Thought and
style and two irsts and one second on
delivery, which made nearly a per-
feet record in his effort. Ernest
Washburn was awarded secont:place.
When Mr.. Dobson appears in the
state contest he will be prepared to
make a mighty strong fight for his
college, and the student body feels
that 1t has a winner In the. young
man. He has a splendid stage
appearance, speaks iluently, easily,
and with much sincerity Ia biz
tones. II John Dobson doesn't win
the first place for Mitchell this year
1t will be because some other college
has developed a mighty strong orator
in competition.
The judges on thought and style
were Rev. e. E. Jordan, Of Sioux
Falls, Mr.. q. +. Kuebnle, of Denl-
