Mrs. Jarley's Wax work show
was presented on Friday evening
in the college Chapel to a good
sized audience that was enthusi-
astic in appreciation of the en-
tertainment. The company
which was made up entirely of
local talent was a splendid one
throughout. The principal char-
acter. Mrs. Jarley, "proprietor
an<l owner of the wax works,"
was taken by Miss Lilian Wells
who was fascinating in this part
both as to costume and exquisite
humor. In fact musicandmirth,
was written all over the program
which was most artistically pre-
sented. Not least among the
pleasures of the evening were the
songs by the quartette, Messrs
L H Hubbard, John D. Robinson,
Ferdinand Kreisle, Hosea Robin-
son. Mrs. John Bloomer also
rendered valuable assistance as
pianist. The Wednesday club
under whose ausoices the show
was given will use the proceeds
to buy new books for the Public
Library.
Each year the Woman's Wednes-
day Club delights to entertain with
a reception in honor of their mo-
thers and their mother's friends.
On Wednesday afternoon, March
25 from four to six o'clock in the
parlors of Baylor College, this
happy event occurred. The re-
ception suite was fragrant with the
odor of spring blossoms, the "blue-
bonnet," the State flower and other
simple flowers of the Texas prai-
ries were conspicuous in the decora-
tions. The guests, ranging in age
from 60 to 91 years, were met by
the president. Miss Junia Oster-
hout, and Mrs. W. A. Wilson, the
entire membership of the Club
greeting with an answering smile,
the faces set in frames of shining
silver hair. The special feature of
the evening was a program con-
tributed to by the honorees them-
selves. Piano solos were rendered
by Mesdames M. V. Smith, W. J.
Cooper and Jane Morton Ware.
Mrs. Vic Bradford Rather read the
flag presentation speech made by
her in 1861 when the "boys ja
gray" company H, 6th Texas Cav-
alry left Belton for the battle .field.
The response that was made by
Martin L. Walker, a step.brother
of Mrs. L. V. Burford was read by
Mrs. Burford. Mrs. Eva Hughes
re-read an essay written by her
some forty years ago when she was
a student at Salads College. The
program closed w*th an original
poem written fctf the occasion by
Mrs. Mortimer' Smith of Temple
and read by lj£r at this time. Many
mementoes,.-of their girlhood were
brought by the guests and were in-
teresting "in the extreme. Miss Mea
chum, fine of the club members ad-
ded pteasure to the afternoon by
singing a number of the songs of
long-ago and the guests joined with
her in these sweet melodies. Hap-
py days gone by were recalled
while a salad course with hot cof-
fee, followed by ice cream and
cake was served by the club. The

Mrs. Mortimer Smith of Temple
read the following beautiful trib
ute at the "Old Ladies Party" given
by the Wednesday Club in honor of
their elderly friends:
To My Friends.
One year has passed since last we
we came.
With hurying feet to this hall of
fame,
By maidens called of great renown
Beauty and wit of this Texas town.
They've welcomed us with winning
smiles
To rest 'mid classic scenes awhile,
Here to forget life's fret and pain,
And live in them our youth again.
We came with brows deep traced
by care,
With snowdrifts in once sunlit hair,
Our step's uncertain, dimmed our
ken,
Cheeks paled, where roses once
have been.
Each face tells of the flight of
years.
Of desert ways oft dimmed by
tears;
Defeated plans for which we've
striven
To gain a life of toil was given.
Yet I would not, were it my power,
With tales of change dim this glad
hour.
Bring tears to aged comrades here.
Bring tears to aged comrades dear,
To cloud their royal welcome here.
I'd blessings ask for these young
friends
The brightest, best, that God e'er
sends,
Who year by year like this glad
day
Have strewn fresh blossoms on our
way.
Well breathe their fragrance as
we go
On down the western hillside's
glow,
Bearing the perfume yearly given
Close to the pearly gates of Heaven
And when again the summons
sweet,
Falls on our ears, for faltering
feet.
To hasten to this trysting place
May there not be one missing face.
But each be here. Matron and Maid
And when the last farewell's said,
May all to that great gathering
come
Beyond the stars where life is won.
—Mrs. Mortimer Smith,
March 25th, 1908.

' The combat deepens" as the
session's work draws nearer to

citals tread upon each other's
heels "so fast they follow."
"Maybe there were more than
four entertainments last week,
but that's all I remember," was
a statement in one weekly home
budget.
A holiday, and the annual
open session of the Historical
Society in the evening, gave sur-
cease of regular school work on
Thursday. Songs given in cos-
tumes, a pretty drill by some
"fetching" looking milk-maids,
were the principal features of
the first part of the program;
but "the play was the thing."

THE FIREMEN'S
BIG CARNIVAL.
Mr. A. A. Bowers, the special
representative of the Great Parker
Shows has just returned after a
visit to the shows and saw the
opening last Saturday, he states
that this year's show is far above
anything previous that Parker has
ever carried. The Animal Show
this year will astound the country,
it is incomparable and must be
seen to be appreciated.
The Sunflower Belles were in' re-
hersal and should be in fine shape
by next Monday. This attraction
is a musical comedy where pretty
girls predominate.
Hale's Tours of the World, is an
Electrical Show and hardly needs
an introduction as every large Park
in the country have at least one
touring car exhibition.
Then, there is the Old Plantation
Show, surely no Carnival aggrega-
tion would be complete without this
fun maker, there is no show that
will strike to the hearts of our
southern people like a genuine neg-
ro minstrel and the Parker Shows
strive to make this the best one
extant.
Other attractions of no lesser
light are: Electrical Theatre, The
Man Ape, $10,000.00 Carry-us-All,
Ferris Wheel, Steam Caliope, Elec-
tric Light Plant, the finest portable
electrical plant in the country.
The free attractions will be "Lis-
ette," the lady who leaps the Vol-
canic Gap and Mile. Spray the
World's highest lady diver.
Pharaoh's Daughter.
One of the beautiful shows with
the Great Parker shows which are
to play here for the big Carnival
week, is that of Pharaoh'sJDaughter
an illusion that is the invention and
the sole property of .Col. C. W.
Parker.
The scene of the illusion is laid
in one of the ancient temple of the
Egyptians and p 'statue is shown
standing on a pedestal. Slowly the
statute turns ro life and different
from the old illusion, it walks down
from its pedestal and comes out to
the footlights.
This statue is that of Lota, the
maiden who, as legend tells us, was
found free from sin and pure of
heart and who offered herself to be
sacrificed in order to stay the
plague. The Egyptians carved a
statue to her honor and placed it
in a Temple and this statue, turn-
ing to life, was adopted by Pharoah
and eventually found Moses in the
bullrushes.
The lecture in this beautiful pro-
duction is no small part of the en-
tertainment and throughout the
evening the story of the beautiful
legend is told the audience as the
statue of Lota is slowly turning to
life and comes down from its ped-
estal.
Hon. Cone Johnson Speaks.
Hon. Cone Johnson, of Tyler,
spoke here according to an-
nouncement on last Tuesday
night to a good sized crowd. The
speaking occurred in the district
court room, which was well filled.
In fact every seat was occupied
and quite a number were lined
along the wallsand in thejwindows
and doors of the room. He was
honored by the presence of a
great many ladies, who showed a
great deal of interest through-
out the evening. Mr. Johnson's
audience welcomed his speech
with much enthusiasm and ap-
plause. He is a very fluent
speaker, logical and forceful, and
handled Senator Bailey's trans-
actions with H. Clay Pierce, J. H.
Kirby et al without gloves. Mr.
Johnson's voice seemed to be
giving him some little trouble,
and was evidenlly not at his best,
however, he held his audience
throughout his speech wonder-
fully well. In' his opening re-
marks he said that he felt per-
fectly st home in Bell oounty,
and frit that he had mom than a

right to make a speech here by
virtue of his relationship to the
people, having chosen his part-
ner for life from among Bell
county's most excellent citizen-
ship. He said he came all the
way from dear old Georgia to the
banks of the beautiful Salou, for
his helpmate and had ever since
held that vicinity in adoration.
Petition from the Ladies.
Supplemental to the petition of
the clerks of the city, the ladies
have filed a petition with the mer-
chants, asking them to close
their places of business at six
o'clock.
A very limited number of mer-
chants were somewhat reluct-
ant in agreeing to accede to the
requests of the clerks on the
ground that it would not be satis-
factory to their patrons, but the
petition of the ladies which is
here given removes that barrier,
and it is now believed that all the
stores and other places of busi-
ness will uniformly close at six
o'clock. This is a splendid move
and it is hoped and believed that
it will be beneficial to both em-
ployer and employee.
To the Merchants of Belton:
Recognizing that our shopping
and ordering goods over the
phone after 6 p.m. is the cause of
the merchants having to keep
their stores open late, we hereby
pledge ourselves that we will not
buy or order goods from anyone
in Belton after the hour of six in
the afternoon nor will we order
goods expecting them to be de-
livered after that hour, from
April 1st to September 1st 1908.
We realize that a concert* of
action along this line will make it
possible for the merchants to
close their stores promptly at
six p. m, and thus give the clerks
and merchants a chance for some
recreation during the long sum-
mer days.
