have been too large for the narrow
limits of our town. Several Of his
former friends were on hand from
Algiers and elsewhere, and all were
there for the same purpose of helping
worthy cause and promoting the
welfare of a man who will return the
favors shown him by a devotedness
to their interest that is seldom equal
ed. The Knights of Columbus of Al
giers and some from the city are going
up next Sunday, with an appetite for
roasted sucking pig, which will be
satisfied with the most succulent
species of that quadruped ever seen on
a table. OF course it will have the
proper dressing. However, all going
up next Sunday are fairly warned to
remember that we are at war and
that Uncle Sam has no use for Ger
man spies.
By following this advice the parties
concerned will avoid the embarrassing
situation facing a six shooter, and
resting for a little while behind the
bars and not at the bar. You know
it does not look well to swing off the
rear end of a dummy engine at dark
into a government reservation, with
heavy grip plastered with hotel tags
from across the ocean. One gentleman
with all kinds of Paternity badges hung
on him, besides a gripful OF cards,
and recommendation tried this last
Saturday; well amongst the things
that happened to him, he had a nice
little walk braced by young cannon
pointing at him, and indicating the
route to be followed, spent few
hours resting in one of those country
rest houses with couple of attendants
to wait on him, besides missing his
lunch and generally annoying his
friends who were waiting for him for
several hours. 1t was the first time
the gentleman in question had been
arrested but such is life. Others going
up Sunday please take the Y. & M. v.
railroad, and do not go to Pauline via
Creamery on a swith engine, for you
are liable to lose some time, your roll,
and probably your temper. Father
Cassagne is waiting for you with
smile, a hearty hand shake and
generous invitation to make yourselves
at home.

LOCAL CHAPTER TO GIVE
TOWELS.

Merchants and housewives are be-
ing urged to contribute articles to
the Red Cross in the linen drive
which opened September 80 and
closes October 7, in a campaign to
collect 27,500 towels and 1000
sheets for the equipment of hospitals
in France. Restrictions as to the
dimensions of the sheets and towels
have been withdrawn, the only re-
quirements being that the cloth
should be in good condition and
clean.
The members of the local chapter
A. r. G. have decided to each give
the price of towel and then a COM
mittee composed of Messrs R. F.
Whitmore and Mrs. ]. p Nolan, will
purchase same. This will insure a
uniform size and quality. Anyone
desiring to contribute to this fund
will please send money to Mrs. Ella
Mills in Bermuda st.

1t looked as though our special SER
vice on Thursday evening, September
26. would have to be postponed, for
shortly before the appointed time the
electric lights went out But it was
only for short time that we were
without lights.
The sermon for this special service
was based on Mark 9-4l. The pastor
showed that the support of the Army
and Navy Board is a good work be-
cause l it is godpleasing and God
promises a reward for such work. Miss
|. Reagan sang a beautiful selection
after the sermon
On Sunday another special collec-
ton was taken for the Army and
Navy Board. The Sunday School also
appropriated its Sundays collection
for this purpose.
Our confirmation class now numbers
16 scholars. If there are any more
who should attend these classes we
hereby invite them most earnestly to
DO so at once.
Quite a number of Fourth Liberty
Bonds have been subscribed to by
members of our Trinity All those
who buy Liberty Bond are requested
to give their names to the pastor.
Tuesday night the Trinity Young
Peoples Socity gave a Picayune Party
on the church lawn. II was a success
in every way. The program was rem
dered very nicely and all the refresh
ments were sold out. We wish to
thank all those who participated and
all those who assisted us so splendidly.
The good will and help was sincerely
appreciated. This party was given
to gain funds for the raising of flag
pole and service flag. In due time we
should have flag raising on the
church lawn.

RED CROSS NOTES.

During the past week the Surgical
Dressings Department of Branch No.
conducted a very successful drive
for clothing for the Belgians. We
wish. through this medium to thank
all those who contributed to this
success; the people who gave so gem
erously, the members of the Branch
who assisted in canvassing, collect
ing, asserting and packing. We es-
pecially thank Mrs f. d. McNair.
Miss Adriel LennoX and Miss Euge-
MIA Herbert. for the use of their au-
tOmoblleS, without which we could
never have collected so much cloth
ing, as many donors had no way of
sending their contributions to us.
We also wish to express our appre-
citation to several little boys. who
rendered us very valuable service,
and. judging by the enthusiasm and
energy they displayed in the work al.
lotted to them, they will make fine
soldiers for Uncle Sam.
An emergency order for operating
masks was received Saturday by the
Surgical Dressings Dept, which ne
cessitated beginning work Sunday
afternoon, and calling for large
number of extra workers. Every de-
partment of the Branch united in
turning out the large quota allotted
to our Branch, which is 5000. All
Sunday afternoon. from 1880 to 5.
and again from $50 TO 1890, our
workroom was transformed into a
veritable beehive, where not
single drOne could be found Work
| continued all day Monday. from 9
A. NJ. until 1890 u. NJ, where
one hundred and eight systematic
workers were present, and Tuesday
until the quota was completed.
! 1t was a beautiful sight indeed,
to see all those willing workers bust
ly engaged in measuring, cutting.
! folding and sewing gauze, all i'm
bued with the same noble sentiment,
that of patriotism.
We desire to also express our
gratitude to Algiers merchants for
! kindly bringing their auto trucks
into use Saturday evening, to convey
| four of our workers who were bring
ing home twelve 100 yard pieces of
gauze from the city. each one carry
] ing three pieces. These ladies are
deeply appreciatve.
Knitters will be busy again this
week. Our new work is socks. Hun
dreds of pairs must be made and
Branch No. will be ready for its
share. Knitters bring your needles
to the X. c. on Friday at o'clock.
Do not make any socks before get
ting instructions from headquarters.
Most of the socks that were returned
for remOdeling were faulty in the
heels and this must be avoided as
time and energy are now so valu-
able. The regular large crowd of
sock-makers is expected Friday.
Since our last report, sweaters
have been received from Misses Ave-
rill Altman and Burgis.
|. The appearance made by Red Cross
workers of Branch No. in the Lib
erty Loan parade last Saturday was
quite edifying. The large number
was the best demonstration of patri-
otism. Ladies of our branch are
taking an active part in the Liberty
Loan Drive.

Vallette, Phone, Algiers, 1873.
Last Sunday was a day of marked
interest in the church activities. This
was the anniversary of the destruction
of the church and the pastor and con-
gregation had planned to observe the
day in a manner that meant some
thing worth while. They attempted
to raise 100000 in War Saving Stamps
and Liberty Loan Bonds. The pastor
was to attempt to raise 100000 out of
town, while the committee were to
raise the same amount in town. The
reports were made at the night SER
vice. After a sermon by the pastor,
which was reinforced by some kind
words from Rev. r. NJ. Brown, a
former pastor, the committees made
reports of work done. The pastor
asked for further time in which to
finish his task. Several committees
asked for further time to finish their
canvass. There were only a little
more than $4,000 reported, but we
feel assured of victory or to use a
much-needed phrase that we will $50

Big Audience At
Mission Pageant

An audience Of over 200, filling the
Junior room at the First Methodist
church and with many standing,
enjoyed the mission pageant, Just
Plain Peter" Friday evening. It
was given under the direction Of the
Missionary committee Of the Sunday
school, Of which Miss Alice Moshier
is chairman, and the sum Of 1880
was thereby secured for an Easter
Offering.
The play, Just Plain Peter, with
Bertram Miller taking the title role
very satisfactorily, was both educa-
tional and inspirational. 1t en-
phasiEed the duty of Americans TO
foreigners, and the struggle OF the
latter to obtain recognition. These
same points were also brought out
in several recitations. The musical
numbers including a knitting song
by the Tau Sigma class, were all
good, and pretty pageant features
were the May Pole winding by IL
little girls in Italian peasant cos
tunes: and a National drill by eight
little boys.
Two quite elaborate garden scenes
were included in the setting for the
play, the arrangements for the
scenery having been in charge Of
Miss Gladys Reynolds. Those as
sisting Miss Moshier in the very eff
ficient training of the children were
