PUPILS OF SALVATION ARMY
 NIGHT SCHOOL TO GO TO FAIR

Through the generosity of the fair officials. Captan Odom. of the Saliva tion Army announces that 100 children unable to see the exhibition with out passes, will be given the time of their life on Friday of this week. Not only will they see the fair. but they will see many of the side shows on the Curve, have a special car to take them to and from the grounds. and have big dinner at the grounds at midday.
 Not every child in West End will have this opportunity however, for Captain Odom announces that only those who attend the night school will be taken for the days outing. These children will number about 100 strong and they will be identified on the grounds by a badge of ribbon setting forth that they are pupils of the Sal walton Armys night school at West End.
 Captain odom announces that the special car will leave the appointed place af 9:30 o'clock, and that the re- turn to the city will be made at 6 o'clock. The reason assigned for the early return to the city is that the days rambling about the grounds. will tire the most eager sightseer and in addition the darkness is a time in which a child might possibly become separated from the crowd, causing anxiety on the part of the mother waiting at home and to the Salvation Army officials who will conduct the party
 But the day is to be one long re- membered by the little children who do attend, as those who went last year are still talking of the good time given them. and of the great dinner enjoyed on the grounds where not minute of excitement could be missed.

Many Languages of Mexico.

During the fiesta of Christmas or the
week Of All Souls and All Saints, when
the Indians swarm down from the
mountains with their holiday wares
for sale, visitors In the City of Mexico
may notice the strange language that
the vendors use In addressing each
other. Even when they iturn to serve
the purchaser their Spanish is neither
Castilian nor Mexican, but Is frequent.
~ broken by peculiar syllables and
accents. This is merely an illustra-
ton Of the fact that the Indian Ian
guages Of old Mexico have not been
entirely submerged by the conquering
Spanish, and In some Of the most re-
mote districts Of the republic various
and distinct languages handed down
from the pre-C Columbian era are still
spoken in their pristine purity by many
tribe members.---Mexican Herald.

DR.. Nachtigal. the celebrated African
explorer, was the guest Of a rich Ham
burg merchant. The merchants son, a
young man of a somewhat sentimental
temperament said among other things
that his dearest wish was to ride across
the desert on the back Of a camel. He
thought such ride must be very poet

'tMy dear young friend" replied the
explorer, II can tell you how you can
get a partial idea OF what riding a
camel on the deserts of Africa Is like

self on the stool and have It driven

to eat or drink for twenty four hours
and then you will get faint idea Of
how delightfully."- poetic it Is to ride or

daughter, Lady Clementine villiers. a

out in an antechamber. Among these
friends was Lord Brougham, then an
