NJ .thodist Sunday School Banquet.

Last Friday evening there assembled
one of the jolliest crowds ever brought
together at the church. A committee
of the Sunday school, the Ladies Aid,
the Dorcas Society and the Brother
hood combined to furnish banquet to
all the members of the Sabbath school,
except the primary and home depart
ments. Two hundred and forty places
were set, each class and its teacher
being located by neat place cards. In
addition to the guests large number
of ladies served and the Sunday school
rooms were taxed to take care Of so
many.
The school assembled in the audi
forum at 6. p. m. and the superinten-
dent called each class separately; con-
siderable enthusiasm was manifested
as the larger classes marched down to
the banquet room, the largest being
the mems and Miss Jacobs class. The
Boy Scouts also came in for their
share of the applause. After all had
found their places the company sang
the Doxology and then followed one of
the finest feasts ever set before the
Sunday school. To say that all en-
joyed the occasion is to tell but part
of the real truth; it was an occasion
long to be remembered and will go
down in the history of the school The
talk is to make a like occasion an an
ual affair.
After the supper Mr.. S. c. Nauman
acted as POSTMASTER and the following
responded: Mr.. Jas. Hutchinson, "Our
Sunday School Miss Velma Weston,
"Our Boys" Rev. Barnes, "a New
Gymnasium and Mr.. Z. Y. Hutchi-
son, "A Stump Speech" which resulted
in telling fish stories with B. Rey-
nold's assistance.
Miss Weston sang a beautiful solo
and Miss Temperance knight had
charge of the community music, which
was entered into with vifa and enjoy
ment.
The superintendent then took charge
and each class gave some stunt, the
selection Of which was left to the class
These consisted of recitations, songs
dialogues, Indian club swinging, yaude
| vile and negro minstrelsy. An origina
poem was given by Miss Osborne'i
class and read by Miss Daisy Holmes
Again the community music came il
for a popular share Of the enjoymen
of the evening.
II All went away saying that they hat
enjoyed one Of the best times Of thei
{ lives. Much credit is due TO the com

The Servant in the House"

On May nth. the great drama, THE
Servant in the House, will be present
ed at the Municipal Theatre, under aus
pieces of Trinity church choir. BY many
competent critics this play has been
considered one of the greatest of mod
ern dramas, and should rank as a mas
terpiece of literature. 1t played for
over year in New York City and for
six months in Chicago. Boston and Phil
adelphia, and since 1908 has been played
almost continuously up to the present
time throughout the United States. 1t

Paris and Berlin. Rehearsals for the
local production have been in progress

given the church approximately Sll, 600

full Of love and loyalty and nothing too
ardous to be undertaken If only the
church was benefited. Surely from
such viii come the Masters well

NUMBER Is
AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENTS.
Aged Citizen and Little Boy are Victims.
Neither Fatally Injured.

The first auto accident n this city
wherein humanity was involved, oc-
CURED last Thuraday, and then there
were two, both happening in the latter
part of the day.
Between hours of 4 and O'Clock as
our aged and respected townsman, John
2, Prisk. was crossing the street dag
onally at the intersection Of High and
Chestnut streets, an auto .oming slowly
down High, which Mr.. prisk failed to
observe. gently bumped into him and
Knocked him down, but fortunately
and through his presence OF mind TO
roll over in the right direction he was
not run over. Mr.. Prisk sustained a
fractured rib. blackened eye and,
bruises. Ills grit has enabled him TO
get out and circulate among us every
day since This is remarkable, consid-
ering Mr.. Prisk is vergirg onto 80
years of age.
The other accident happened about
z o'clock in the evening in the south
eastern section of the city. Some little
boys were playing "hocky" in the
street. This game requires some large
stones. An auto passing that way and
driven by Roy Staber, slowed up al
most TO a stand still to avoid IA collision
with one of the boys. While in the act
of working a lever TO start the ma
chine up again a front wheel struck
against one of the large stones which
the boys had placed in the roadway.
This caused the auto TO skid and so
quickly that il caught little Willie
Hartley, aged 10 and son OF Geo. Hart
ley. AS a result one of the little fell
lows legs was broken just above the
knee. Other sorenesses go with the
accident, but he is doing well under the
circumstances.
Happily, no one is to blame in par
ticular in either case. There's every
proof that the auto drivers were eau
tious.

Swat the Fly.

Kill the wintered over fly. One win.
tered over fly produces 5, 59S, 720, 600, coo
flies in one season. Laid end to end,
they would reach $50 times around the
world.
Ninety per cent of flies breed in horse
manure. Haul manure away at least
once a week. Keep filth and garbage
cans covered until removed.
One fly may deposit so fly specks in
hour; l fly speck from fly fed on con-
sumptives SPECTRUM contains 8. 900 germs
of tuberculosis.
The fly travels directly from manure
pile, slop pail, spittoon, privy vault and
the sick to our food, to the unprotected
infant, to our dining rooms.
Flies spread typhoid fever Typhoid
is greatest in fly season. The number
of germs in milk double every 10 min
utes. Keep milk covered.
All breeding places for flies, such as
manure piles and garbage should be
sprinkled with pyroligneous acid in pro-
portion of l gal. to 10 gal. Of water,
and vaults should have copperas thrown
in them.

The LaSalle (Chicago) Musical Stock
company which has been holding forth
in this city this week is unreservedy
stamped as very entertaining and tai
ented.
Monday was presented THE Time,
The Place and The Girl. This proved
one continual round of classic pleasan-
try. The play was interviewer with
charming song and graceful footwork.
Tuesday evening the play, Miss No
body from Starland'' was mastery
rendered. 1t, too, was interspersed
with charming songs, etc.
Wednesday, for their thlfd and last
performance. was presented, 'The
Girl Question. This is one of the com
panies masterpieces, but The Tribune
is printed too early for any opportunity
to comment. 1t was likely the best
all. That means much.
Such splendid entertainments reflect
credit on the spirit OF our new theatre g
management The attendance has been
large, but only deservedly so.

Why Not a Bird Part lise7

The splendid idea OF making our Gem
eteries bird sanctuaries' suggests the
still better one that all Mineral Point
might be made one big haven for our
birds. Blue birds, wrens, chicadees,
and others look for ready made homes
which they finish themselves. These
are moving days for the birds and
though the city is suffering from
dearth Of houses and apartments for
mans hahtation, there is no reason
why hundreds Of permanent accom-
modations should not be put up for the
feathery fellows thereby tempting
them to become residents of our town.
