MEDAL CONTEST
WAS INTERESTING
LARGE AUDIENCE ENJOYED THE
ENTERTAINMENT ON FRI
DAY NIGHT.

At the Methodist church on Friday
evening, when the Loyal Temperance
Legion children held their first medal
contest of the season, ample proof
we: given that Brunswick has some
very promising material in the di-
rection of elocution.
Five girls took part, and with keen
interest the audience listened to their
respective pieces, which ranged from
t, amusing to the pathetic. and
called for considerable skill in the
rendering
Madeleine Dickey recited first, her
reading being entitled 1.-TWO Little
Legioners." She did well, speaking
the lines with very creditable clear
ness, and she made a good impress
SIGN
Next came Winnie Courier, who
tcld the story of a certain Tom Jones
who was said to have robbed his
wife's rudy cheeks and used the
ccioring matter to redden the end of
his nose. Winnie's grasp of the
meaning of the poem was very ap-
parent, and her delightful manner of
conveying the significance Of the
lines proved very satisfactory.
Then the character of Seeding
Dame was cleverly shown in a piece
recited by Marie Anderson, and when
the end came, stating that the lady's
husband drank by mistake a bowl OF
starchy water, the audience laughed
heartily.
Thelma Courier followed with ar
inn ressive selection called "a Dream
ard What Became Of It," which was
recited in very pleasing way.
The last to recite was Lillian Isaac
whose selection was so nicely done
as to very favorably impress the au
dience. 1t dealt with the story of g
mother who was taught a valuable
lesson through the loss of her little
one.
The four judges, two ladies and
tNf gentlemen, retired to confer on
the merits of the various speakers
aid decide who should receive the
silver medal offered for the occasion
On their return Judge Krauss, the
chairman, announced that the winner
Was Miss Winnie Courier, and in a
neat little speech he presented the
mccall to her.

teapots just like our eighteen cent

FIRST PICTURE BOOK.
The Daring Idea That Was Carried Out
by Johann Comenius.

The Daring Idea That Was Carried Out
by Johann comenius.
Some 300 years ago a German savant
had wonderful vision. At that time
children were taught to read by force
Of arms, so to speak, through hard
ships and with bitter toll on the part
of teacher and Of child. 1t seems GU
rious that the first real step toward
tightening the labor of children as
they climb the ladder Of learning was
the product Of the Imagination not Of
some fond mother or gentlewoman
teacher, but of bewigged and beti-
tied university doctor.
1t was Johann Comenius, however.
who first conceived the daring idea
that children could be taught by the
aid Of the memory and the imagina-
ton working together, 'by means as
he quantity expressed it, "of sensuous
Impressions conveyed to the eye, so
that visual objects may be made the
medium Of expressing moral lessons to
Tie young luluu anu VI lHbptCSoluS
those lessons upon the memory" In
other words, the good herr doctor had
the bright idea that picture books
could be useful to children. Comenius
made his first picture book and called
1t the "Orbis Pictus." 1t contains rude
woodcuts representing objects In the
natural world, as trees and animals,
with little lessons about the pictures.
1t is quaint volume and one that
would cause the average modern child
not little astonishment were it placed
before him.
AS truly, however, as that term may
be applied to any other book that has
since been written, the "Orbis Plctus"
was an epoch making book. 1t is the
precursor of all childrens picture
books, and modren childhood has great
cause to bless the name Of Comenius.

SATURDAY. Night Fire.

The cottage occupied for some time
by j. NJ. Smith and family on Third
street. was totally destroyed by fire
Satui day night. The alarm was Turn
cd In about IL O'Clock and when the
department arrived the house was
ablaze all over. The Smith family
were away from home at the time
of the con1agration, having gone to
the valley several days before. How
the fire started is all conjecture. and
for the fact that high wind was
blowing. it is considered wonderful
that the flames did not spread to ad-
joining property. The same house
caught lire some months ago, but II
was saved with but little damage re-
sulting.

OREGON ORGANIZED
FOR ROOSEVELT.
NATIONAL PROGRESSIVE CLUB
LAUNCHED AT PORTLAND.
The Organization is Commit
ed T. r. for President-N Name
Republican" Omitted.

Followers of Roosevelt completed
the organization of the National Pro-
gressive Club of Oregon" at Portland
Tuesday night.
The word Republican" was re-
jected as part of the name, and the
word "bandana" was eliminated for
dignity's sake. The club was COM
mitted to Roosevelt for president, and
those who favored leaving the colonel
out of the bylaws were squelched.
Chairman Dan Kelliher was ao-
cused of using the ''steam roller" by
o. M. Hickey and Harry Yankwioh
in putting through the Roosevelt
plank.
Resolutions were adopted scoring
members Of the Oregon delegation at
Chicago who failed to vote for the
Roosevelt program" at the national
convention.
Besides all this, the club shouted
its approval when Levi W. Myers,
grizzled veteran of the party, declared
that both old parties are corrupt be-
yond redemption. Bylaws were adop-
ted. election of permanent officers
postponed until the next meeting next
Monday night, and committee was
authorized to report on the question
of an electoral ticket for the third
party in Oregon.
f. W. Mulkey. prospective progress
sive candidate for United States sen
ator declared for constitutional change
to deprive courts Of power to- declare
a law unconstitutional.
Mulkey was called upon and said
he is for Roosevelt because the colonel
is in accord with his views. He paid
his respects to the fraudulent" work
at Chicago. He said he bases the
need for the new party chiefly to the
''equivooal, sscolorless and wobbly plat
form of the Republican party and the
very dangerous platform of the DEM
oorati9 party" He conceded that
the Democrats have nominated a
splendid man." but said the oandi-
date is bound down to platform that
would tring the country "almost to
