WERNLE CHILDREN GUESTS SUNDAY Tho older children of the Wernle Orphan's Home had a treat Sunday, and, from what we hear, the hosts enjoyed the treat as much as the guests. Seventy-three children of Wernle wore guests of many families of the Triity Lutheran church

on that day. Often two children were invited to the same house, while some people had three and four guests. Mr. Tressell, minister of the Trinity Lutheran church, thinks that this may bo a monthly occurrence, which must be a very pleasant announcement, indeed, to all concerned. There are 92 child ren at present in Wernle Home, but the real young ones remained at the home. Rev, Herman Specht, superintendent of the school, has gone on a vacation, the first he has had in six years. Rev. Nicklas, of the St. John's Lutheran church, is taking charge of the school in Mr. Spocht's absence. The last day of school for the children of Wernle was Friday, June 25.

"FABIOLA" PRESENTED RY ST. ANDREWS

"Fabiola," a play of a different nature from most of the plays produced by grade and High school pupils, and difficult to present, was well presented before large crowds in the St. Andrew's school auditorium on Sunday and Tuesday' evenings. The costumes were handsome and all the parts were given with an insight into their character and the character of the times in which the action of this play is supposed to have taken place. The play represents the persecutions of the early Christians by the emperor and people in power in Rome in the days of the great Roman empire. In several scenes were shown the catacombs, the caves long and winding, in which the persecuted Christians were placed, sometimes alive, but usually this served as their burial place. , High dramatic effect was produced when the body of the little blind girl, Caecilia, was brought down to the Catacombs, and when Torquatus, the traitor, dies there, and also in the last act, when the Christian slave, Syra, dies from a wound inflicted by her brother, though he did not know it was his sister. In the fourth act two tableaux were given with beautiful effect. The cast of characters follows: Maximian Hercules, Emperor of Rome, Edward Zeyen; Fabiola, Daughter of Fabius, Lida Maag; Agnes, her cousin, Martha Habing; Graia, slave of Fabiola, Catherine Brucker; Afra, slave of Fabiola, Clara Bchnen; Syra, slave of Fabiola, Agnes Stein; Euphrosyno, her nurse, Dorothy Gegan; Irene Christian Roman matron, Hilda Taube; Caecilia, a blind maiden, Agnes Kutter; Fabius, a Roman nobleman, Richard Baumer; Pancratius, a Christian youth, Louis Jelly; Sebastian, a Roman tribune, Carl Huth; Quadratus, his centurion, Siegfried Ilolthouse; Fulvius, a Syrian spy, Dorothy Connor; Dionysius, a priest and physician, Myron Pardieck; Proculus, a Roman nobleman, Marguerite Rohe; Calpumius a Roman philosopher, Florence Muey; Torqoatua, a traitor, Agnes Sauer; Tertullus, prefect ol Rome, Richard Maddox; Corrinus,

T NOTES The Y Scout troop went on a hike Thursday evening. The plan was to take several out door tests when on the hike. A supper was cooked over a campfire and tests were taken in cooking, tracking, first aid, signaling and the use of the ax and the knife. A new Bible class will begin Saturday morning at 8:45 o'clock. The course will include the study of I six men of the New Testament. Assistant Boys' Secretary Webb will have charge of the class. An all-day hike for Saturday, June 26, was planned under the leadership of Mr. Webb. The boys were to start from the Y. M. C. A. at 10:30 o'clock and wore to go to some place rather near town, where they would spend the day, playing ball and other games. They were going to cook their dinner over a campfire. the prefect's son, Taul Cook; Eurotas, attendant to Fulvius, Ig. Bankowski; Decius, a jailer, Josoph Stolle; Cattulus a Roman officer, John Torbeck; Polonius, a Roman officer, Howard Ilolthouse; Arminus, a Dacian officer, Joseph Reis; Sarmatus, a soldier, Richard Hillman; Hypax, captain of the African bowmen, Raymond Wessel; Diogenes, Fosser of the catacombs, Joseph Hilterman; His son, Joseph Tardieek; Virgins, Beggars, Archers, Lictors, Acolytes, Pages, Dancing Girls. We wish especially to mention the two little train bearers of the emperor, who looked so solemn in their court costumes. Their names were Leonard Melle and James Stolle. The music which was played during the evening added much to the enjoyinennt of tho play, because it fitted in so well with the character of the action of the play. Before the play commenced, and between some of the acts, the schbol orchestra played. Its members are in the eighth grade and in High school. A Flower Song and dance was given after the first act by fifteen girls which was so much applauded by the audience that they gave it a second time. The violin solo, Berceuse from Jocclyn," l yuiu uj euiuc ui uuv uuuau, came down into the catacombs, was very beautiful and effective, as was the singing of "As Pants the Heart," in the funeral service of Caecilia. Piano solos were also played during the intermissions. After tho play the diplomas were given out to pupils who graduated from the Eighth grade of the school. School closed for the boys and girls of St. Andrews on Wed nosday, June 23. OF PUBLIC INTEREST The children were telling a visitor what they studied at school. "I," said the eldest, "get reading, spelling and definitions." "And what do vou get, my little man?" fiald the visitor, addressing the littlest one, who had listened in a bored way while the oUiws recited their lists. t "Oh, I detg read in', spell in' and i spankin'." Courier-Jouraal.

Tho school meets every Tuesday afternoon from 1:30 to 4 o'clock, and is under the direct supervision of Mrs. Propst. She is .assisted by several women and girls of t'ie city in the work. One class of little girls under 6 years of age are learning the different stitches when making handkerchiefs. As I soon as they learn the stitches thoy will make a pug puppy and stuff it.

These girls are also making stuffed animals now, but soon they will begin sewing simpler articles of clothing for themselves. Ail the children who make the stuffed animals will be given them to keep at the end of tho term. Another nice thing is in store for tho girls who come to every single meeting of tho school.

Oh, bring my mother back" eh plead, When comes the morning light,' The child was smiling Boftly, In her sleep, the moon said, And when the morning came. Her father found her dead.
