Over 1000 boys between the ages Of
six and twenty gathered in the First Pres
byterian church Friday afternoon to hear
the closing address by Col Ale1 t;aeT
convention. Along the north side of the
church were suspended on strings pictures
illustrating Mr.. Highlands themes. They
are not marvels artistically, in fact they
looked as tho they might have been drawn
by the orphans they intended to represent.
Mr. Hogeland told stories of boys who al
ways got up in the morning, and saved
their pennies and are now among the
richest men on earth. When anything
funny was said all the boys giggled, the
giggle starting at the first row and travel

verv restless and If the fire department
or patrol wagon had passed by the entire
audience would have made rush for the
DOORS He closed with prayer at which
every head bowed with the exception of a
few boys who feared neither God nor
man and made perseyering, Intellectual at

the room. When the signal to leave was
given there a wild stampede and even
Superintendent Bloss could not check the
mad onrush.
