excellent wisdom OF him that built

townsmen gave consent thereto.
Following are four verses from the
poem:

The older we grow in years
and the more experience we
have in our contact with men
and women. the more impressed
are we with the tremendous
fact that the best and most use
full life, the life that counts for
most in two worlds is the life of
service. Jesus emphasized this,
not only in all His teaching, but
also in His life. One OF the
sweetest and most appealing
characteristics in the earthly life
OF our blessed Savior. was the
tenderness and sympathy shown
BY Him to others. His every
thought was OF others-their
comfort, their happiness. their
salvation. The day for Him was
never too busy. His own burdens
and cares we're never too heavy,
to make Him lose sight OF this
dominant feeling in His great
heart of love.

HAPPY HOGAN
BEAR ON PARADE

Cute. cunning, frisky, mischievous
and winsome-if all these appellations
could, with propriety, be applied to
one of the bear family then all would
have to be applied to "Teny," the
tricky grown bear of Happy Hogan's,
which is scheduled to perform at the
Carnival Associations Mack Wild
West Ball tonight.
"Teny" frisked about on the streets
yesterday as if he were glad of the
opportunity to be party free once
more, and glad to show his cunning
to the crowds of children who throng-
ed the street after him.
One little fellow, more fearless
than the rest, actually trod upon
'Teny's" back; the ladies present ut
tered chorus of shrieks that could
have been heard for the distance of a
block, and they covered their eyes
to cover the gruesome sight of watch
ing harmless kid masticated by a
big, ferocious brute. To every ones

Except Happy Hogan, who led his
pet playfully with a small rope)t
''Teny" proceeded to roll the little fel
low over with his muzzle and to push
him about playfully as if he had sud-
denly come into possession of his be-
loved rubber ball, and was carried
away with the thought, that he was
to be allowed to amuse himself with
his favorite means of amusement
Having discovered the difference be-
tween boy and rubber, ''Teny" harm

PENSACOLIANS SHOULD
SHOW PATRIOTISM.

On the occasion of a large banquet
in Pensacola several years ago
woman who was visiting here at the
time made some enemies because of
her very frank criticism of the lack
of patriotism shown by those who
made up the personnel of the gather
ing, when they gave voice to their en-
thusiasm when Tipperary, then the
marching song in a foreign country,
was played and showed no such en-
thusiasm when the band struck up
the national hymn.
At recent large public gathering
1T was matter of comment when, as
the opening bars of America" were
played, two women in the audience
rose to Their feet, and stood, slowly
others following their example, until
nearly everyone in the hall had risen
showing openly the patriotism which
glows in the heart of every true
American, but which, in some way
they find it hard to express.
It is to give expression to this
patriotism that everyone in Pensa-
cola should take more than a casual
interest in the entertainment for the
benefit of the Army Relief Society, tc
be given on the afternoon of Febru-
airy 18th at Harbourview.
For many years the army post ha:
been of vast Importance to Pensa-
cola. The officers and their wive:
have been charming addition to the
social life, and the men of the serv-
ice, too, have been large part Of
the life of the city.
Every constructive movement hal
had the support of the army and the
officers and men have lent their IN
fluence to much that has stood fol
the city's growth. Not only as a per
sonal appreciation, but as an evidenc'

Cleo Madison in "Black Orchids"
Bluebird photoplays believe in Pre-

beyond the mere opportunity for an
evenings entertainment and to this
end offers at the Isis theater or Fri
day, "Black Orchids as warning
to girls and more mature females who
seem to delight in flirtations. who
imagine a mans love is something to
be lightly considered. Sometimes
these fair and flirtatious ladies sue
coed in making men unhappy with
out serious consequences to them
selves. but Zoraida, the beautiful
heroine of "Black Orchids" was not
so fortunate. Not alone did she bring
misery and unhappiness to the men
she fascinated and then Tilted, but she
finished with an ignominious and dis
tressing death as her punishment fol
wrongdoing. Cleo Madison plays the
intensely emotional role of Zoraida
