In general good time.
The children left for Chicago this
morning In charge of two representa-
tives OF the Chicago association. In
connection with their departure there
We're many touching scenes, as some
OF the children could hardly be per-
suaded to leave those who had enter
tanned them during their stay Some
of the little ones were so determined
not to leave that 1t was necessary for
those at whose houses the children had
been to slip away unobserved.
The Riddles surely have had the
time OF their young lives, and will not
soon forget their visit to this city and
kindness Of those who took them into
their homes and did their best to make
them happy. In addition to the good
time which they have had. the children
were given new clothing. and Will re-
turn home so changed In appearance
that they will be hardly recognized.
The two men who came to accompany
them home made the statement that
no party Of children ever sent out were
ever so thoroughly entertained and
cared for as were those who came to
this city, and expressed In warmest
terms their appreciation of their treat
ment.
A bountiful supply OF good things to
eat was placed In the car with the chill
dren, consisting of goodly number
OF big lunch boxes, a bunch of bananas
and these things that go to make glad
the heart OF young childhood.
The Y. w. c. A. is especially thank
full to all those who helped to make
the occasion the success 1t was.

Legends Of the Palm.

OF the many legends symbolizing the
palm, possibly that In which 1t Is emf
ployed as the sign Of victory Is the
most universal. Among the ancients
the victorious hosts announced their
successes to their home cities by run
ners bearing leaves Of palm. And
when these hosts returned to their
towns they were received with palms
borne by people of oil ages. The palm
Is frequently mentioned in the Bible
as "This thy statue is like to palm
tree" Song II, and Jericho Is called
the "city of palm trees" Deut. 54-3.
