Soothing His Father.

The father of Sir Hubert Herkomer,
the great painter. was a poor man.
and the professor brought him from
his native land in Germany to live with
him in his beautiful house near Lon
don. The old man used to model in
clay in his early life, and now that he
had leisure he took to it again in his
old age But his hands trembIed, and
the work showed signs of imperfec-
ton. 1t was his one sorrow. At night
he went to bed early, and when he
had gone his son would go into the
studio. take his fathers poor work and
make it as beautiful as possible. When
the old man came down in the morn
ing he would look at the work and rub
his hands and say: "Ha. ] can do as
we'll as ever did"

IMPORTANT DECISION AFFECTING LEGAL,
 STANDING FOREIGN CORPORATIONS ALASKA

decision handed down by Judge Brown of Waldo, vos
 terday morning shall be affirmed by the Circuit Court of
 Appeals 1t IS highly probable that the Territorial Troas ury will profit by goody annually in the shane of Ii cense lees paid by foreign corporations that many panles in the states selling goods in Alaska will bas t comply with the territorial laws
 The case was that of w. Van Schuyver & Company a corporation organized in Oregon against O. Breedman for merry o Cordova and was brought to the price goods sold Freedman, through his attorney R. E Capers defended the ground that the plaintiff had not complied with the provisions of Chapter 23 of the Civil of Alaska n der the terms o that chapter foreign corporation doing mess Ill Alaska must file copy of its charter appoint resident agent for service of process and file statement showing It's assets capital etc., annually In the death or removal of the agent for sevce another agent be appointed The law provides that foreign corpora ton shall fail to comply with all these provisions cannot sue citizen of Alaska any contract made with the citizen while 1t is engaged in doing business in the territory.
 The plaintiff had filed its charter about 19OO and had ap pointed agent The agent died before goods were sod and no other appointed Further the plaintiff had not hed the annual statements required of it. The plaintiff admitted failure to comply with the laws but conended that It was not doing business Alaska only question to De decided was whether fact engaged in business here
 The goods were sold by travelling salesnen who sent the orders to Portland for filling Some evidence tended h show
 at ese orders were not binding until approved in Oraoon on the other hand it shown that the saesmen collected money TOT the corporation its trps often settled ac counts with customers This course of busnaso boa h ~ ing on for about fifteen years.
 Judge Brown dismissed the suit hold;np that +b +~o acons and methods of trade constituted doing business in AasKa' The argument advanced by the plaintiffs at orney that Chapter 2 insofar applied to contracts taken W statesmen subject to approval in another state coniced wnh the commerce clause of the constitution Most if +
 states nave laws very similar to the laws of Alaska and the supreme court has held that they are invalid SO far a & ply to transactions had through alesmen because m stt regulate interstate business But the defendant nroad nd Judge Brown hed that this is law of state bnt of Congress itself, which has the right to regulate commerce. ~

LAKELAND CHURCHES
TO OBSERVE co TO

DAY" TOMORROW

The churches of lakeland will
Apecially observe tomorrow as Cd
to Sunday School Day." it having
been so designated by Gov. PARK
Trammell in a proclamation urging
the people of the State to take part
in this movement The plan is in
terdenominational. and each person
is asked to attend Sunday school at
some church. Persons not AFFILIATED
with any church are urged to choose
some church and attend.
Churches and Sunday schools all
over the State are cooperating to
make the day a success, and churches
of Lakeland are not behindhand in
the work. Special services are being
planned at the various churches and
the pastors are cooperating in an
effort to get out a record-breaking
attendance. Circulars urging all per-
sons to attend some Sunday school
are being issued, and the movement
is otherwise being advertised.
The Florida Sunday School Assc-
citation has set the State attendance
goal for the State at 100, 900. This
means an increase of about 20,"rN
over the normal attendance. Those
III touch with Sunday school affairs
are hopeful. from all indications,
that an even greater number will
attend.

SUNBEAM BAND
GAVE INTERESTING
PROGRAM LAST NIGHT

last evening very beautiful and
F, interesting program was given by
the Sunbeam Band of the First Bap-
! fist church The church was decor
ated in the Sunbeam colors-purple
and gold. A large golden sunbeam
was encircled with letters OF pur-
pie, Sunbeam Band" Flowers of
l,purple and gold, the stately ,ster
and gorgeous golden rod added their
beauty to make an artistic setting
for the dainty little Sunbeam girls
marching down the loEe aisles
with banners flying-decked in their
sashes and hair ribbons of purple
this little band marched right into
the hearts of all present.
Seated with their leader as the
central figure, they showed in the
exercises that followed the beauti-
full thoughts that were being sown
in their little hearts. Miss Reed in
the model meeting of the Sunbeam
Band exemplified the fact of what
a little child can accomplish trained
by the hand of love, Sunbeam songs.
rally cry, prayer, questions asked
and answered, members received,
commandments, missionary informa-
ton. recitations. duets and solos,
composed this very interesting
meeting. A candle dialogue and
drill showing how the little lights
will grow dim and sometimes gut.
The Sunbeam song had a very live
chorus-a large Sunbeam opens his
golden beams and the bright little
face of Katherine Wear appears, who
sings the chorus alone. Ruby Wear
and Grace Halderman sang a duet
very sweetly with the chorus of Sun
beams. Rev Wear voiced the SEN
timents of all present when he said
all had been highly entertained and
had enjoyed every moment of the
program. He then paid beautiful
tribute to Miss Reed for her zeal in
this work, giving her time and tai
onts to train these little ones, who in
the years to come will be the future
w. M U. leaders and workers in
the Baptist church
The Sunbeams then invited their
guests to the Annex where they
s, Tved punch, cake and nuts. A table
in the shape of maltese cross with
conterpiece composed of purple and
yellow flowers, with dainty little
maids to serve will be picture we
will not soon forget and made one
feel that they had been treated to
a picture of child life that was beau
tiful in its freedom from anything
artificial, so spontaneous and full of
love in their service to others and
their JOY and love for their work as
Sunbeams. REPORTER
