PICNIC IS BEING HELD ANYWAY
Who sa(d the grocers' and butch

That Is the person the promoters
of this big annual affair are now
looking for.
The grocers and butchers have
once more come Into their own. For
years they held the undisputed title
of being the best little rainmakers In
these parts. Then the honor was
taken away from them.
They lost their prestige and for sev
eral years It did not rain on their festal
day. But things have changed, and Just
as the crowds were starting for Krtig
park the rain god shook a fw o; Ms
best little clouds and rain began to fall.
But that did not stop the picnic.
Ths undaunted grocers and bd'ehers
are going right ahead with the aifatr.
rain or shine. The promoters said that
there was plenty of covering at Krug
park to accommodate all and that the
vrrltd program would be carried out.

of Public Schools
Dr. Albert Boss Hill, president of the
University of Missouri, Is outspoken in
favor of medical inspection in pubtto
schools. He maintains that thero are
physical deterrents which impede . the
progress of children Who could be started
in the right direction by occasional ex-
.untnatlon. He aays many oases of fall
tires in school night be traoed to obscure
jhyslcal causes.
The doctor came bare to deliver aa ad
dress last evening to the graduating
las of Central High school at Brattdela
theater.
From 1897 to 1903 ha was identified with
the University of Nebraska as professor
of philosophy and director of tha
peycUo logical laboratories.
The Missouri educator declined to ex
press himself on International affairs or
the recent action of w. J. Bryan.

Those "Gold rxiet twins" from Indiana,
whose nsmes In private life are Just

They sold The Bee, on the front page

geniality and Jollity.
Their "stand" was In and about the
Fontenelle hotel.
"Here y'are! . Textra' Textra! Great
est paper in the world. Full account of
the famous, celebrated Gold Dust twins,
the handsome twins. Here y'are!"
The proverbial "hot cakes" nevr sold
half as fast as the twins' papers. Tha
twin who weighs 280 had sold sixty-nine
within five mlnutea The twin who weighs
2S1 was a close second, with sixty-three.
He Increased his efforts to overtake his
double. '
'Buy of the handsome twin! Here I
am! The Bee! The Bee: wuy it now!
Souvenir picture of him and Tne, the
Gold Dlst twins, goes with esch and
overy copy. Only one cent."
The customers clamored around the big
newsboys and salee rapidly climbed till
both had passed the hundred maik. And
they only stopped when their voices had
become so hoarse they oould scarcely
speak above a whisper. Then they dis
tributed their profits among a bunch of
real newsboys, who gave them three
cheers and a tlgor with a will.
