When the editor approaches the average citizen In his quest for news ! ] he is Invariably told that the citizen "doesn't know a thing," and that , answer is about as near the truth as the nations of Europe are to effecting a prompt settlement of their differences. Everybody knows something, and most people know a lot of somethings that are worth telling and would make breesy and newsy stories, but they Just bottle It up In , . the walls of their dome and forget that it is there. .Sometimes the editor is able to pry it loose word for word until he gets the story, when it would be the easiest and simplest thing In the world to let It all out In a rush. Pull the cork, brother, and let out the contents of your tntel- ( lectual bottle and we will pass it on to others who are thirsty for news.

Children of Sunday School Enjoy Movies and Refreshments. Yesterday afternoon the Sunday school of the First Baptist church enjoyed a picnic on the spacious lawn of the church. Assisted by the ladies, the superintendent and his tachers had made elaborate arrangements to receive the children and their parents. In the usual style of the First church the children were allowed to invite friends, and thus the crowd which attended was made up of other than Baptists. Long before the hour appointed the ladies had completed their arrangements. and soon the children began to arrive. It was a merry crowd that gathered. No time was wasted in preliminaries, and the boys and girls were soon at play. After thus enjoying themselves for awhile, they were called to refresh themselves with cake, ice cream and lemonade. At the hour of half-past six, the children were placed in line, and, as they marched to the Star Theatre, were each given a stick of chewing gum. By previous arrangement an excellent program had been secured at the moving picture show, and there the school was entertained for quite a while. The genial management of the theatre did everything to make the coming of the school a success, and it was greatly enjoyed. At the close of the show the chll dren went again to me ia\vn 01 me church, where more cream, cake and lemonade were served, and where they played for awhile before dispersing. The event was a great success, and one which will, no doubt, be made an annual occasion. JAMES H. THAYER. | A GERMAN SECRET.
