A BEAUTY LESSON
OF ORNAMENTATI0N
How to Make Homes Beautiful
and Areas of Attractive
loneliness.

That was an excellent idea OF
the ladies of Natchitoches, In
holding a meeting of the children
of that town and distributing
flower seeds to them for planting
in the back yards of their homes,
and then offering prize for the
most beautiful corner or attrac-
tive plat. This is an educator In
more ways than one. 1t stimulates
industry, incites to taste and skill
in design and best of all, converts
unseemIy areas into attractive
beauty spots around the homes.
Such an idea carried out In
Winfield would add immeasur-
ably to the adornment OF the
grounds around it's cosy homes.
There is scarcely a residence In
this town but what has ample
yard room both in front and rear
that could be converted into
regular beauty areas that would
attract attention and commenda-
ton, outside of the charm which
they would lend to every home
stead.
Some one will say that it takes
too much time; it is too much
ltrouble. Is it? An hour a day
that is frittered away in idlenes'
or some unsatisfactory employ
ment would more than accomplish
this work. Then the satisfaction
and pleasure that would aris'
from such surroundings of thu
home would infinitely surpass nj
the outlay of time and trouble.
Nothing is accomplished in thi
life without the employment o
: time and the expenditure of NOR
or less industry. Their result
. are the fruits of attractions tina
are lasting and create favorabl
/ impressions. The surrounding
of the home are the true indice
! of the taste, painstaking. neatnes
|, and love of the beautiful of tn
!. inmates. The wayfarer and th
passerby will inevitably pause
: admire a well laid out plat G
, ground beautlfed with blossom
or carpeted with an emeral
sward. He will note the air c
] ueatness and thrift that pervade a
: its surroundings, and will retail
: the pleasant memory of such
picture of loneliness, the combine
/. effects of natures forces and th
i painstaking thrift of human il
e dustry. Beautlfy your home
!, and make them bowers of beaut
: prompted BY the love of a'lorl
ment aud the attractiveness

MOVING PICTURES
As AN AMUSEMENT
A Strong Plea for Attractions
that will Prove Beneficial
and Instructive.


TO The Sentinel.
Will you kindly grant space to
the following regarding the char
acter of certain kinds of moving
pictures for the amusement of
the public.
The writer has been an iterest-
ed observer of the extensive
patronage accorded the moving
picture shows in different cities,
including that of Alexandra.
He has been greatly impressed by
the large percentage of children
in every audience. from the little
.stot''. too young to wander
beyond the range of the material
eye, to those of from ten to
fifteen years of age, boys and
girls, the latter, in the majority
of cases being there by themselves
or in company of children no
older.
= Another class who make up
portion of each audience is COM
posed of ladies at both afternoon
and evening performances. Thus
ladies' and children furnish q
heavy proportion of the revenue
ohtained from the ticket sales 50
their patronage should be of con-
siderable importance to the pro-
prietors of this class of public
amusement.
But it is the children to whom
this article has particular ref
ersnce and the possible influence
on their morals of certain kinds
of pictures displayed. just as w

literature. The mind of the chile

This, of course, if carried out, will
be very disastrous to Denver and
other cities of the west next sum

on the regular tourist business of
the state and the entire Rocky noun

rect loss to Denver in the attendance

been arranged, So says the Denver
Republican.

ly $40 between Denver and Chicago
for the round trip. The special rate
last year was $50. and prior to that
an even lower rate was enjoyed.
This attitude of the eastern roads
is said to be a continuation of their
pfque because of railway rate legis-
lation by certain states of the mid
die west. For this reason, because
the 2-cent rate was fixed by the leg
islatures of various states. 1t is be-
ing sought to make it apply to long
distance travel, at what would be
large gain for the railroads, even
though it meant loss of tourist
traffic.
A prominent railroad man in Den
yer yesterday, when asked C ncern-
ing the matter of summer tourist
rates, said inquiries are already be-
ing made by people who desire to
arrange for trips next summer. Meet
ings have been held by members of
the Western Passenger Association
In Chicago, but no rates have been
announced
There is no question about the
eastern roads endeavoring to keen
the western roads from making spe-
cial rates. said this officer. "And
from present appearances it looks
as though they would be successful.
The. western roads are not anxious
for this. We like to have a large
tourist travel each year. as it means
a continuous growth If not inter-
fered with. At the same time the
eastern roads have certain rights
that must be considered, and the
west may find itself without any spe-
cia! rates either way this year"
Aside from the democratic nation
al convention, which is still waiting
to learn what will be done In the
matter OF rates, there are many 9TH
or smaller conventions scheduled for
Denver this summer. 1t is believed

For 81 years the Christian Home
for Incorporate Men" was managed
by a convert of Mr.. Moody who had
himself been saved from a life of in
ebriety At that time the home was at
Madison avenue and Eighty-sixth
street. Rev. George S. Avery was
called from the Central Presbyterian
church of New York to succeed the
man who had laid down the work,
and SO successful has he been in
charging the sphere of usefulness Of
the home that from an original mem
bership of IFS ten years ago the num-
Der of men admitted has grown to 427
in 1906
In the 81 years of its existence the
home has cared for men of practical
y every profession There have gath
cred actors, legislators, promoters,
miners, business ana professional men
and others. One Of the men converted
had been in an asylum for two and a
half years before spending eight or
ten weeks at Chester Crest Since
that time he has spent seven years in
doing effective evangelistic work in
New York. Two other converts of the
home are doing missionary service in
Siam; some are able officers and
trustees Of large churches; some are
efficient Bible teachers; others have
gone back to their usual avocations.
renewed in spirit as well as in mind
and body, and for years these men
have made habit of visiting the
place which has given them renewed
purpose in life, Of holding Saturday
night reunions there and of contribut.
ing to the support of the home as they
have been able Where medical insti-
tutions have failed to restore the in
ebriate to normal health the influences
of Chester Crest have often sue
ceeded.
One reason why we succeed" said
Rev Mr.. Avery, is because We throw
all the moral responsibility upon the
men. We do not teach them that they
are sufferers from an infirmity against
the ravages of which they are help
less. We make a man feel that he is
morally responsible for his acts, and
that he has only TO look to God for all
the strength he needs"
