CHERR|AN HIGH I|NX

the day, the songs with the love ele
ment predominating, she walked a.
round the tables and singled out the
bald heads and the cold boys'' for at
tentlon, and as she stopped and put
her velvet cheek against the bronzed
and hardened face of Cherrian there
would come roars of applause, while
the lucky Cherrian would smile and
blush-or try to. Among those who
were given this special mark of atten-
ton were-guess it better not be said
anyhow, she was encored again and
again and she graeiously responded
She was one Of the stellar attractions
The event that caused King Bing
Lerchen more concern and worry of
the royal mind was the mechanical doll
that was sent from the Kingdom of
Bosnia by the Royal Family of Hooch,
Of which he was the lineal descendant.
This mechanical doll and the instruc-
tions that came with it provoked no
end of laughter Immediately follow
ing the announcement of the sending
of the doll it appeared, and was
brought in in box, placed on the
stage and opened Inside was an ex-
quisite life sized doll.
The Beautiful Doll''
Clasps of astonishment broke from
the jewellers and it was up to King
Bing to act. So he lifted the doll
from the box and stood it on the plat
form. But the puzzle was to find the
combination to work it. No one could
understand the code and the efforts 70
find the secret of the doll proved very
laughable. The part of the doll was
admirably taken by a Salem girl who
showed her cleverness in the act so
that she was not recognized. 1t was
only after close scrutiny that the
Cherrians perceived behind the flam-
Salem S popular dancer-Priscilla Flem
ing.
In between these big acts were
speeches by various Cherrians. Among
them was Mayor Walter Keyes, who
spoke on Opening Salem s Time
Lock, which he did and prophesied
in ten years from now Salem would
have a population Of 10000 people and
that there would be growing ons the
streets a million roses. He said then
there would be discovered winter
blooming flower, then viii Evans and
Will Lerchen will be sitting by their
own firesides with their own wives and
their own children.
DR.. Prince Byrd was called on for
a talk on "Ether or Either, and he
said in brief that the work of the Cher
rianS was to 'be commended and he
hoped it would be kept up. He said
the slogan was rome for all and all
for one
