visited Beverly in the summer time.

daughter, a year old. The distin- 
cuished family were at Beverly last 
summer.

Yesterday took place the annual 
sale and luncheon for the Episcopal 
City Mission at the parish house, 
Boston. Mrs. John H. Storer as- 
sisted at the household table and 
Mrs. A. W. Pollard at the candy ta- 
ble. Mrs. Frank B. Bemis and Mrs. 
W. II. Aspinwall were at the fruit 
and flower table. 
Meny of the most prominent peo- 
ple in Pittsburg were imeluded in 
the list of patrons and patronesses 
for the lecture by Gen. Sir Robert — 
Stevenson Smythe Baden-Powell in 
Carnegie Music hall last evening. 
Among them were Mrs. Grant 
Curry and Mrs. Herbert DuPuy. 
‘“No Bad News ’’ 
She was very old and very poor, 
And the postman, whistling gaily, 
But seldom stopped at her dingy 
door, 
Though his route led by it daily. 
And as I saw her face, one day 
At this door, I could not choose 
But pity her—till I heard her say, 
‘“‘Thank God for no bad news!’’ 
Life falls from us, as we pass along, 
By little and little, daily, 
But the sigh need never o’ercome 
the song, 
And the face can meet things 
gaily. 
And a ‘‘tender grace’’ has left the 
heart 
That can sullenly refuse— 
Though from Hfe’s glad rout it 
must walk apart— 
To give thanks for ‘‘no bad news.’ 
—Margaret Vandegrift..

morning are the more likely to rise

NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
Boston Theatre 
An event of supreme importance 
and paramount interest to theatre- 
goers of Boston is the forthcoming 
engagement of those sterling stars, 
Dustin Farnum and William Far- 
num, in Edward Peple’s master- 
piece of dramatic writing, ‘‘The 
Littlest Rebel.’’ 
The story of ‘‘The Littlest Rebel’’ 
is a simple and effective one. A 
father —scout in the Confederate 
cause—steals through the lines of 
the enemy to earry food to his child, 
a little miss of seven, who plays 
with her dollies in an old log-house, 
-and exists on acorn coffee and blue- 
father 
And it 
berries except when her 
comes with bread and meat. 
is while on one of these visits to his 
MARY MILES MINTER 
baby that the scout is traced and 
captured by a Northern officer, Col- 
onel Morrison. 
Touched by the child’s plea and 
the father’s pitiful condition and 
commendable purpose, the Colonel 
permits the scout to escape. This 
breach of war discipline is discov- 
ered by an envious brother officer, 
the Colonel’s act is betrayed and the 
two men involved taken prisoners 
and sentenced by  courtmartial. 
Again the ‘‘Littlest Rebel,’’ as the 
child is called, intervenes, and so 
impresses General Grant with her 
looks and her words that the pris- 
oners are released and sent their 
various ways with reprimands.
