had the children spell out the words Auditorium and Bulletin. which they did with a right good will.
 Uproarious Greeting.
 There was a cheer when Noodles made his first entrance, but at a mo- ton from him for silence the 5000 children stopped abruptly and from that time he held their attention. swayed them, sang to them and had them sing with him. showed them pie lures, entertaining and instructive, and in fact for the time was really and truly their leader right to the time when with three cheers for the man agement of the house. three cheers for The Bulletin. and three cheers that they added themselves for Noodles, they filed out and home to remember one of the best times they have ever had
 My Country Iris of Thee.
 Noodles diverted the thoughts and enthusiasm of the children into patri- otic channels. When he called for the singing of My Country Iris of Thee. the result was astonishing and impress sive. Although there were many chil- dren of foreign birth in the audience, they seemed almost without exception to know the words and music of this song, and they sang 1t with greater zest, even, than they had the catchy songs of the day which preceded it. Then Noodles told the children to hum the song 50 you can see,'' he explained, how your voices can be made to sound like great organ" This was novelty to most of the children, and the result was truly inn presSive.
 By this time the little guests of The Bulletin were filled with enthusiasm and Noodles then had them sing The Star Spangled Banner, the response forming a splendid climax to all that had gone before.

 Mir Pagan especially advised the boys against the use of cigarettes. telling of the great harm done by the nicotine, contained in them. He spoke especially of the harm that nicotine would do to the heart, and added: The boy who does not use cigarettes or alcohol will be able to answer such questions as an employer would ask him when seeking posi- tion, while the boy who does smoke. would be unable to answer the ques- tions in 6 manner that would do him credit. and therefore would not have the chance for the position that the boy Wf1o did not sEn oke had.
