sam and jetsam as the room had once

the end of the street.
In one corner of the room, how
ever, a mattress, too dirty and torn to
fetch the price of even half a pint,
offered a resting place Of some sort to
the diseased body Of a little crippled
lad, who sat upon it hunched up. with
two brilliant eyes In n too white face
Perched next to him, somewhat in the
style Of an impudent sparrow, a boy
slightly older was busy in the con-
struction Of some implement of tor

bent twig or two.

Drink, blows, hunger, squalor, all that

used to them. But the workhouse he
had been led to believe held even

He crept closer to the boy who sat
beside him, Lucky, splendid friend
who could walk and run as he list
who could hold horses heads In the
streets and sell papers, who some
times had meat for dinner on Sunday,
and a father who hadn't merged into
the unknown: who best of all, had no
dreaded shadow OF the workhouse
lowering over him.
"Wot's 1t like. the work'us, 'Arry?"

George Ade's Zeal for His Old College

A few years age George AIDE, sit

letic club, read OF the activities at
his old college, Purdue, where the
boys were preparing for the staging
of the annual college play. This mere
incident OF Tehearsals was not the
thing that aroused Mr.. Ade. IT was
the fact that old Purdue was borrow
ing play that had been produced
the year before over at Cornell. Pur-
due borrowing a play from Cornell:
Indiana appealing to New York for
dramatic talent! Mr.. Ade stormed a
soliloquy and then proceeded to La
fayette, where Purdue University
earns its bread and butter.
There was large attendance Of
old alumni at the college play, ana
there was a meeting of the veterans
after the performance. What to do for
next year? was the question upper
most In the minds Of the college men.

Besides their own large attendance, Messrs. w. H. Parker, David Camp bell, l. B. English. Walter Tobin, Sam R. Tellez. Samuel Forbes, A. B. Wal lace, c. F. Roscoe, J. w. Horton, A. A. France, w. R.

 After the installation they adjourn ed to the hotel where a pleasant ban-

 taking of the refreshments they lis
 tened to very interesting talk by P

 the present standing and condition of

 interesting "reminiscences On His

 At the close of his remarks he pres ented Mr. D. A. Smith, the retiring x. G. with very beautiful combination regalia and jewel The following off cers were installed for the ensuing six months:

Fourth of July Celebration.

r ourtn or JuIy Ceieprdtion. Up to a week before the Fourth it l looked as if Morenci was going to spend Independence Day as she had done the past four years, asleep. But thanks to J. M. Lally and the progress i've spirit, which seems to not only taken hold of politicians, of a num- Der of other citizens, the Fourth was made most enjoyable and memorable Not since the celebration four years ago have the children of camp had a chance to enjoy themselves as this year. The committee all agreeing that with the exception of drilling and mucking contests, foot ball and base ball games the majority of the events should be for the children, special events were therefore in consisting of drawing for quarters in tub of water. bun eating contest, obstacle race, climbing greased pole, shoe race and other interesting events
 Owing to the short length of time allowed for training it was impossi- ble to get any boxers, so two boys, The Morenci Spider and Clifton Scoruion'' put on a bout. The Spid- er'' got left hook to the Scorpions jaw in the sixth round and put him to sleep, getting the decision and mon- ey.
 The catch-as-catch-can wrestling matches between Westerman and Kent, and Green and Lovett, both heavy weight events were very inter eSting The first match was won bT Kent after getting the first fall from WleSterman in 22 minutes. Owing to i sickness WeSterman was unable to continue the match, which was there fore awarded MT. Kent. In the Green Lovett match, green got the best two out of three falls and match throwing Lovett twice, the first fall being regis tered in ten minutes, and the second in twenty. Ernest Roscoe offered to wrestle any boy, American, his size in camp for the championship and had quite time getting any boy to wres- tie him, when he did get a taker he proceeded to show this right to chal- lenge any boy by taking two straight falls and the championship.
 It is impossible to mention the diff ferent events but the winners for the various sports were as follows: Fifty yard dash for boys between 10 and ), 1st race Fernando Chapetti, First: Jesus Medina. Second.
 Second race, Lewis Alvarez, First; Ienacio Hernandez, Second.
