SUNDAY SCHOOLS IN

HOLD CONVENTION

Sunday schools from all over Es-
Gambia county sent representatives
Sunday TO the district convention,
which was held at Roberts, Fla,
about every school in the city having
from one to four accredited delegates
present. Various topics, looking to
the betterment of the schools, were
proposed and discussed; musical Sc
lections were rendered by accomplish
ed singers and instrumentalists, and
numerous subjects which were
brought up, were discussed generally,
the matters thus debated having in
almost every case a direct bearing
upon Sunday school work.
The next meeting, which will be
early in the new year, takes place at
the First Christian church, Pensacola.
Delegates from the city left in au-
tomobiles early in the morning, spend
ing the entire day at Roberts. A
sumptuous dinner was provided, and
it was reported that very few con-
ventions, which are held twice yearly
were more successful.

nous Casey at the Bat"
Casey at the Bat" the Triangle-De
Wolf Hopper comedy to be seen in the
Isis theater today, tells in pic
ture from the story of the famous
baseball poem which Hopper has re-
cited from countless stages and at in
Vulnerable social gatherings since it
first appeared, more than quarter
of a century ago.
The poem does not reveal what I'M
toward circumstance it was that
caused Casey to fall down so griev-
ously at a crucial moment. This
mystery the picture promises to clear
up.
Casey is the star hitter of Mud
ville's team. Besides his job and his
ball playing, he has two other inter
ests in life-he has a great affection
for his little niece, and he is in love
with a rich mans daughter. In the
latter affair he has two rivals, one
of them his employer, the other the
pitcher of the Frogtown team, Mud
ville's deadly rival. And out of al
this grows the story of the plot which
embodies the misfortunes that over,
take Casey and his ultimate down,
fall.
In Hopper's support appear sucF
well-known Triangle players as Mar
guerite Marsh, Frank Bennett, Kate
Toneray, Carl Stockdale and Ma!
Garcia.

The Gaelic A B c.

Every letter in the Gaelic alphabet is represented by a tree. The alphabet of today consists of eighteen letters in ancient Gaelic seventeen-and now, as of old, all the letters with the ex- ception of g, and U, which stand for ivy, furze and heather. are called after trees.
 The Gaelic A B c of today runs :: Ailn, bette, coll, dur, eagh, fearn, gath, huath, togh, luis, muin, nuin, oiv, petth, ruis, suil. teine, UT, which Is equivalent to saying elm, birch, hazel, oak, aspen, alder, ivy, whttethorn, lev, rowan or quicken, vine, ash, spindle tree, pine, elder, willow, furze, heath.
 Tn the ancient Gaelic alphabet the letter Ghe heath or whitethorn) does not exist. The alphabet is called the beth-luis-nuin, because b n and not a b are its first three letters.
