LITTLE FOLKS MINsTRELs

AGAIN SCORED GREAT SUCCESS.
Under the capable direction Of Mr..
julius Menko, the Little Folks Min
strels" again scored a big success on
Wednesday night, the beautiful little
entertainment having been given al
the Orpheum under the auspices of
the Ladies' Benevolent Society OF
Temple BETHEL, the proceeds to go
for charitable purposes. The same lit
tie people who. covered themselves
with so much glory at the Progress
club last month delighted two large
audiences, the theatre being packed
ut both performances. In the absence
OF Miss Jacoby. who is ill, Miss Ethel
Friedman served as accompanies,
her work having won many compli-
ments. Little Miss Vivian Levy, in
the difhcult role of interlocUter, was
especially fine, there having been no
hitch whatever in the entire proceed
ing. Those who had the pleasure of
hearing and seeing the young artists
were surprised at the perfect results
received from Mr. Menko's training,
and the young actors were called upon
to respond to more than one encore.
The ladies are much pleased with the
financial success Of the venture, and
will Immediately turn over the pro-
ceeds to the charity fund.

INDIAN RETURNS THE MONEY
Conscience Kept Him Awake All
Night So That He Could Not
Sleep, So Gave Up Coin.

An Indian once asked his neighbor
for some tobacco. The neighbor put
his hand in his pocket and gave him
handful. The next morning the In
dian came again, and brought a quar-
ter-dollar which he had found be-
tween the tobacco. The neighbor was
surprised at such honesty, and asked
the Indian why he had not kept the
money.
1T is just like this" he answered,
in my heart have a good man and a
bad man. The good man said: The
money does not belong to you; give
1t back to its owner The bad man
said: 1T has been given to you; it;
belongs to you The good man re-
piled: That is not true, and such con-
duct Is evil; the tobacco belongs to
you, but the money belongs to him
who has given it away by mistake;
you must give it back again. The
bad man answered.: Think no more
about it and do not let such a trifle
disturb you. Keep the money I was
In doubt as to which voice of my
heart I should listen to. At last lay
down in bed, but the good man and
the bad man quarreled so all the
night in my heart that I had no
peace, so felt obliged to bring you
back your money"

feeding process. These accidents, Of
course, are liable to occur in any bust
ness, but the market for finished beef
cattle lying in the control of few and
catered to by many makes the risk
really greater than it should be, and
places it on the basis of speculation
where few rather than the majority
wish to cater to It. This is. no doubt,
the reason why the farmer will tell
you that he Is feeding less cattle and
hogs than he ever has before.
Intensive Conditions Build Up Dairy
Farming.
Because of the intensiveness of the
conditions that tend towards success
full dairying. we find small farms more
largely run along dairy lines than
large farms.
This Is another reason that will
probably bring about dairying in the
future more than it has done in the
past. The great increase In the popu-
lation of this country such as we find
developing at this time, will render
conditions much more extensive and
naturally tend to divide up farms
either in their ownership or the man.
ner in which they are being worked.
1t may possibly come about that we
will have more extensive land owners
even than we have at the present time,
or, in other words, more capital gain
ing control Of the farms of our state.

Power Of Music.

A hard-headed business man went
year or so ago to hear Paderewski
play. The man is not a musician. He
spends his days trying to buy cotton
when it is low and sell it when it is
high. This is how he described his ex-
perience at the piano recital:
"You know, I'm not easily stirred
up, and I don't know anything about
music. I wouldn't know whether a
man was playing the piano extremely
we'll or just fairly we'll. But I do
know that Paderewski played one
thing that afternoon that stirred me
up, as I never was stirred in my life.
l don't remember what it was. I
couldn't have told whether he was
playing an hour or five minutes. All l
know is that it stirred up feelings
within me I had never felt before.
Great waves of emotion swept over
me- l wanted to shout and wanted
to cry, and when the last chord was
struck I found myself on my feet, wa
wing my umbrella and shouting like
wild Indian. went out of that
hall as weak as a rag and happier
than I'd been in years. I can't &C

explain it. Can you?"-A. E. Thomas

RAILROAD" IS JOLLY GAME
Each Youngster Represents Part Of
Train or Officiai-Breaks Up In
Merry Confusion.

A very jolly game which any child
will grasp readily if he or she is not
already familiar with it, is called
"The Railroad"
For this the children stand in a
ring and each receives the name of
some part Of the train or Of some Of
fetal. Thus one youngster becomes
the rails, another the whistle, another
the steam, another the conductor, and
so forth. Some older person then in
vents Cor reads aloud) little story,
into which all the different parts are
mentioned, one by one. As such child
hears his fictitious name mentioned
he rises and initiates the thing he
represents. For example, the whistle
toots, the steam puffs, the conductor
pulls the bell-rope and cries All
aboard" the wheels begin to revolve.
etc.
At the very end of the story, after
each part has been played a couple
CT times, there is a mention of ter
rible collision" Here all the chill
dren break ranks and rush together
in confusion and the game ends In q
merry uproar.

CONDUCTOR HAD WRONG IDEA
Thought He Was Going to Save q
Life, but Didn't Get the
Chance.

Here's another one about a woman.
She was one of the three or four pas
sengers scattered over a Shaker
Lakes car recently. Also she wore q
dark. spotted veil that gave an air of
mystery to her appearance.
The conductor, when he looked up
casually from his work of jotting
down the trip statistics on a heavy
MANILA card. saw her watching him
furtively, stealthily. From him she
would turn her glance toward the 9TH
er passengers to make sure she was
not observed. After he'd returned to
his bookkeeping the conductor. keep
Ing tab on her out of the tail of his
eye, saw her reach into little black
satchel and take something out. Then
her supple form became almost rigid
as she again cast searching glance
in his direction to ascertain If there
was danger of him seeing what she
was about to do.
He became really alarmed. Per
haps this woman was wrestling with q
great secret sorrow and was about
to commit suicide? Was it a small
dagger or a vial of poison that she
was taking from her satchel? He
went ahead jotting down figures on
his card, so that she wouldn't know
he had guessed her awful plan. but
he held himself in readiness to spring
upon her in time to prevent her deed
Of self-destruction. He had never had
suicide on his car.
She raised up the dark veil. fun
bled at something concealed in her
lap and started to lift her hand to her
face. The conductor rushed forward.
But he checked himself just as he
was about to detain her hand and
went on up as If to speak to the mo-
torman. For all the woman had been
fixing to do was to apply her powder
rag for moment to the shiny part of
her nose.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

GRANDEST OF GRAND ARMIES
School Population Of Country as
100000

Using the census of 1900 as a basis
of calculation, it is estimated that the
census of 1910 will show that the school
population of the United States num-
bers 100000 persons. The school
army ten years ago was 13,367.147. OF
that number 4,266,302 persons were
between the ages of five and nine, and
6,453,394 ranged from nine to fourteen
years old. About twelve per cent. of
the whole number were from Is to II
years Of age, and five per cent. were
18 or upward.
OF all the children between the
ages Of five and nine reported in the
census of 1900 only about one-half at
tended school; of those ranging from
nine to fourteen, four-flfths attended
and of those from fifteen to seventeen
little more than two-flfths. Upward
Of 90 per cent Of the entire number
were white. A school army of 14,O00,-
900 for 1910 will be a national asset
worth having, comments the New
York Mail. It will constitute a moro
convincing demonstration of the coun-
try's resources and strength than an
army of 100000 adults equipped
with rifles and cannon. There is rea,
son to believe that in addition to this
growth in numerical strength, the next
census will show that this army has
improved In quality.

But even though this be the case. the
farms will in time be divided up into
smaller farms and worked by tenanta
because 1t will be absolutely impos-
sible in the course of time for the
great amount of foods and clothing
which must be raised to supply the
oncoming population to be produced
on large farms by the reckless and
careless methods that we find In
vogue at the present time, but as the
farms become small, in order for each
farmer to make a greater profit and
pay for this investment, it will be
necessary to practise more intensive
and diversified conditions.

their milk or cream, as the case may
be, into butter to ship to the large

as these farmers cooperate and re-

creamery is assured. There are no
middlemen's profits to pay and 1t Is
a case of direct from the producer to
the consumer. The success of the
creamery, of course, rests largely with

There was time when one could
live In location where dairying would
not pay. AS a matter of fact, we have
seen the time when it was very doubt
1ul whether or not there were great
profits to be made in dairy farming
such as were at that time made out

those times milk and butter fat were
commanding less than half the price

agriculturists. Further than this,
creameries, condensaries and skim

was much greater expense than we
