ARE HAPPY, ANYWAY

No Acoidents Mar Day's Outing, and Rain Storm Took Away None of the Joy.

According to Capt. B. E. Stahl, of the Light House mission, the por kida' picnic Thursday was a success in ever^ way and the children had one of the best times of their lives. There were v" no accidents to mar the outin,j and the fact that a few of the youngsters got soaked on the way home, by the rain of Thursday evening, was regarded as a trifle.

Captain Stahl feels sure that the mission will come out all light finangsfe daily, but Is not able to make a com|?^plete report of the affair, as a number of the people who ware selling 5?' tickets have not settled with iiim yet.

The kids ran at large all day and .fe. spent most of the time eating or playlng ball, while the older people sat around in the shade and made v:he most of the chance to keep cool. About twenty-five of the men interested in the work took care of the crowd while they were running wild and a number of women issued the lunch boxes.

Nothing daunted by the rain of the early evening about 300 of the kids attended the vaudeville performance at Young's summer theatre in the evening as the guests of Manager Sam $£ Young. The little fellows were given the best .seats in the house and were very enthusiastic over the entertainI ment.
