Wouldn't You Smile?

Prof. Phil Memoll was seen strutting around the grounds last night with his chest swelled out and a smiling face. He looked for all the world like a man who had just received news of a wind fall, or that his first baby boy had just arrived.

It was compliment well deserved and certainly appreciated by MT. Mem oli and the members of his band.

For in as Much"

One of the most pleasing sights of the fair yesterday was the children of the Mercy Home. who attended as guests of the fair association. Arrived at the grounds, the directors and a few friends made up a purse for the chill dren. They were given supper, ride on the merry-go-round, taken to the side shows and other amusements. In regard to the midway shows, when Con Kennedy, the owner. heard the chill dren were on the grounds. he sent word that every amusement under his control was open free to the orphans T was left an orphan myself' said MT. Kennedy land it is always pleas ure for me to do anything I can for children similarly situated. They are welcome to every amusement I con troll"

George Blinn and George McCleery acted as escorts for chil- dren.

cast at the dinner given by Governor

be necessary to agree to disagree 1t
would be done good-naturedly.
Governor Pinkham, In welcoming
his guests, made get together" the
text of his very brief and cordial re-
marks. The speechmaking was not
extensive, but what there was of it

or at stated periods convenient to all
concerned to the. end that the house
through its chosen leaders of commit

the executive and the executive ac-
quainted with the aims Of the house.
This was especially gratifying to the
governor, who looks upon 1t as an i'm
