| Sunday schools of the city who have
given their time to the work, the confer
ence promises to be an epoch making
event in Sunday school work here.
In conversation with Miss Easley and
Ferguson concerning the conference 1
was told some interesting facts regarding
the movement a few days ago.
The city wide conference which has its
premiere tomorrow morning at 10 O'Clock
at the First Methodist church," I was in
formed, us part of a continent wide
movement. The conference which is to
be held here under the direction of the
Birmingham Sunday School association
will be the first conference of the KIND
ever held in the south. 1t is the second 10
be held in the world. The first convened
at st. Louis in April and was commented
upon all over the Sunday school world.
or course other cities will follow the
idea
What is the purpose Of the conference,
specifcally?" l asked.
ITO utilize the energy, the enthusiasm
and the ability of the girls in promoting
Sunday school and church progress, and
also TO develop leaders-something We
need more than nearly anything else in
Sunday school work"
"Just how is the conference to be ar
ranged?" I inquired-'the basis of repre-
sentation?"
1.-The conference will be delegated
body, each Sunday school of every de-
nomination being entitled to six dele
gates.
How are these delegates selected?' l
questioned.
"They are elected by the girls classes
of the different Sunday schools and ap-
proved by the Sunday school superintend-
ents," was the reply.
How is the work organized?" I asked
Besides the two associate superintend-
ents, Miss Easley and Miss Fergerson
there are district superintendents from
each of the 10 districts, and these in turn
have had the services of q chairman
chosen from among the young women
workers in the Sunday schools" l was
told. These district superintendents and
their secretaries are, for Birmingham,

THE TOY-STREWN HOUSE.

Give me the house where the toys
are strewn,
Where the dolls are asleep in the
chairs,
Where the building blocks and the
toy balloon,
And the soldiers guard the stairs
Let me step in house where the
tiny cart
With it's horses rules the floor,
And rest comes into my weary
heart
For l am at home once more.
Give me the house with the toys
about,
With the battered old train oil
cars,
The box of paints and the books
left out
And the ship with her broker
spars;
Let me step in a house at the
close of day
That is Uttered with children's
toys,
And dwell once more in the haunt.
of play
With the echoes OF bygone noise
Give me the house where the toys
are seen,
The house where the children
romp,
rnd I'll happier be than man ha
been N-
Meath the gilded dome of pomp
Let me see the litter of bright-eyeC
play
Strewn over the parlor floor,
And the joys / knew in a far of
day
Will gladden. my heart once more
Whoever has lived in toy-strewr
home,
Though feeble he be and gray,
VIII yearn, no matter how far he
roam,
For the glorious disarray
OF the little home with the Uttered
floor
That was his in the bygone days
And his heart will throb as il
throbbed before
When he rests where baby
plays.

Fought and Paid For" Leading
Metropolitan Attr: ction Coming
TO DEBORAH January 10th.

TIE patrons Of the Grand opera
house will have the pleasure on jan
uary 10th of witnessing one of the
greatest metropolitan attrac tons OF
the 1894 season, Bought and
Paid For" When we tell you it is
VIM. A. Brady's own production 1T is
a sufficient guarantee that the play
is high class and will be one of the
greatest productions seen here in
many a day Bought and Paid For
should, and we feel, will be greeted
by packed house. The following
from the dramatic columns of the
Chicago News tells about this great
play and characters:
SOLID
ITO the Olympic theater has come
George H. Broadhurst's Bought and
Paid For with cast familiar and
partly new. 1t will tarry over the
holidays, offering good entertain
ment to all who may buy their way
into it's presence. This comedy was
acted for six months in this city to
the delight of a great many people.
The programme at the Olympic does
not recall it's former engagement
here, but remarks upon the long New
York run and gives assurance that
the play is now given as it was given
there. The programme should be
amended to say also that it is given
as it was given here, and it has been
given in many ether places by many
other companies, for it is the play
rather than the acting of it that
counts.
Bought and Paid For" has been
incorrectly described in many places
as a drama of ultra-seriOus drift; II
lis, in fact, bright comedy of char
acter with serious interest. That
interest hangs about and upon the
titular statement, and out of that
interest comes TIE plays big surge
But 1t is upon its well-nigh continu
Gus flow of comedy that the piece
has floated into such widespread
popularity. 1t presents, with the
reasonable and required exaggera
ton of the theater, an EXCEPTIONAL!
accurate and amusing study of &
harmless young parasite. This char
acter never could be acted again a!
Frank Craven acted it here in the
plays first engagement, but the char
acter would make itself known il
any acting. In William Harrigan il
has, however, a capital actor who
misses none of its values The emo
tional contents of the play, centerins
in the wooing and winning, the loss
and recovery of fine young woman
by an honest, adventurous and ami
NAL millionaire, now find treatment
by Charles Richman, wearing the
halo of achievement in our princi
pal seaport, and Kathleen MacDon
mel, who was of the first Chicago
company. In the part that Heller
Lackaye played here in the earlier
engagementSwe now find Marie Gord

CHIC KENS TO CALIFORNIA.
W. c. inner Shipped Two Puliets
and Cockrel to Willow, Calf.
BIZ lis Via Prizes There.

DEBORAH Chief ems are getting a
world wide reputation. A short
time ago w. c. Timer shipped two
pullets and a cockrel to Willows,
Calf, to parry there who was de-
sirous of getting hold of some real
fancy chickens TO add to his flock
Just to show how good they were,
the party entered them in the poul-
try show exhibition held at Willows,
and the cockrel beat the bird that
took first prize at the state fair at
Sacramento, Calf, this year Since
then Mr.. Ulmar has had quite a
number of Inquiries from California
concerning his chickens.
When residents of far-away Cali
fornia send to DEBORAH after fancy
chickens, it is evidence enough that
DEBORAH chicken fanciers must have
birds second to lone in the country.
The coming poultry show to be held
at Marsh's hall Jan. 9Th to 9th will
give our people the opportunity of
seeing these fine birds.
Blooded chickens and their eggs
command falcy price nowadays.
On the other hand we don't sup
pose the eggs taste any better, when
they are served "straight-up' or
scrambled, than those produced by
the humbliest biddies, who never
entered the glare of a prize show
exhibition. Christmas presents of
eggs set la ''tiff-henny" will be be-
coming popular some day.

SCHOOL HEAD LIABLE.
Ruling by Judge HObsOn at West
Union UphOlds Teachers Mini
mum Wage Law.

Judge A. n. Hobson, of the dis
trict court, upheld the constitutions
atty of the teachers minimum
wage law, in case tried at West
Union last week Judge Hobson
ruled that a criminal prosecution
properly could be brought under the
law
The defendant in the case was
Michael N. Bopp, of Hawkeye, pres
ident of the Windsor township
school board. The prosecution was
started by County Attorney c. B.
Hughes, who alleged that Miss
Madge Gilmer was paid only $40,
whereas her certificate, under the
minimum wage law, entitled her to
$4290.
The case was carried from the
justice court to the district court on
the plea that the law was unconsti-
tutional, and that a criminal prose-
cution properly could not be brought
Under Judge Hobson's decision
Bopp is remanded to the custody OF
the sheriff. He has given bond, and
an appeal to the district court has
been taken.
Mr.. Bopp has the backing of his
school district, and before the action
was begun he notified the county SUI
perintendent that he was willing to
furnish a test case of the law.

Another Pleased Audience.

The third number Of the Deccrah
lyceum course was given at the
Grand opera house Thursday eve
ming. 1t proved one of the best
numbers yet. Montraville Wood. as
sisted by his daughter, in demonstra-
tons OF the gyIoscope, monorail car
ultra violet rays, and other things
along electrical lines, was the mum
Der. The audience was one of the
most enthusiastic and delightful
ones that has appeared at the grand
in long time The demonstrations
given by Mr.. Wood, while very in
teresting. were highly educational
also. All three of the lyceum attrac-
tions given so far this season have
been a decided success, and we wager
that every purchaser of season tic
ket feel that they have had their
moneys worth already, and still
there are more good things to come.
