ORPHANS.

There were not any happier children
in Pensacola Saturday afternoon than
the inmates Of the Pearl Eagan Home
who were the guests Of the Pastime
Theatre to see Richards the Wizard
perform his marvellous tricks. The
inclemency of the weather did not
dampen their enthusiasm wee bit.
It was treat for them. something
they had never seen before and some
thing to talk about for a long time
to come. On entering the theatre each
child was presented with a big bag
of candy and a bag of nuts. After the
performance they became the guests
of the Pastime Fountain and each
child given bumper dish of delicious
ice cream, for while they certainly
were a dazed excited happy bunch of
children. When they were led away
to the autos to be taken back to the
Home by Mrs. Eldridge the worthy
matron, they were given in addition
a big bag Of apples, another of or
anges and a bunch of bananas. AS
before stated Mr.. Hobgood, the genial
manager of the Pastime donated the
entire proceeds of the Matinee per-
formance to the Home, and in addi-
ton to this there is a box at the
entrance to the Theatre wherein those
who are charitably inclined may drop
a coin or two for the benefit of the
children to help gladden. their hearts
at Xmas. Don't forget it, theatre go
er. Give of yours to those who have
none, in the spirit of Yuletime giving
The children's heartfelt thanks go
forth to the following for donations
made: Manager D. p. Hobgood, Pal

They say faint heart ne'er won fair
lady, but Bryant washburn In The

all such adages are susceptible to re-

part of devout lover. lacking those
striking picturesque qualities that ap-
peal sometimes to the heart Of a maid.
But he has sterling qualities. not
the least OF which is his fidelity. He
tries proposals of various sorts, but in
each instance he fails to move the
heart OF the girl who thinks she is ro-

monplace and conventional.
There enters a young vagabond OF
the Irish temperament, who almost

However, marriage is hardly in his

altar which would literally be a hal
tar to his rowing disposition. Then
he rides away-and the faithful swain

living with r. Hudson who claims
Tennessee as his home. since she
came to Pensacola from Mobile two
weeks ago. The police were attempt
ing to get in touch with the Depart
ment OF Justice operatives here last

she knew she had been doing wrong
by leaving her husband and living

divorced from his wife. Giving as
her excuse for running away, Mrs.
Brewton said that she had been badly
mistreated by her husband, when he
had found her walking on the streets

she believed he had come here with
another woman, and after failing to
find him, is said to have gone to their
