Youth prown to manhood may not often stop to think how great is the indebtedness to the school teacher, the personal force that gives effect to the operation of our educational system. Reminded of that impressive obligation, the institution of the Providence Teachers' Retirement Fund opens a way to the men and women of the community to repay it in some measure with material benefits. That the Fund should receive cordial support is, it seems to me, a matter of course. Governor of Rhode Island. I am glad that the teachers are to have another Bazar for the benefit of the Retirement Fund, not only because the object is a most worthy one which must appeal to every thoughtful citizen, but also be- cause I believe that it is a most successful way of interesting people generally in the teachers and making them realize that teachers are human beings and not machines placed in school buildings. If the people of our City only knew that the teachers of our public schools are a band of men and women giving themselves with never ceasing energy and always fresh ambition to a work which they love, I am sure the Retirement Fund would not be long in amounting to fiftv thousand dollars. >€./^. Mavor of Providence. The Providence Teachers' Retirement Fund, now in the beginning of its fifth year of actual accumulation, had its origin nearly fourteen years ago. The urgent demand for such cooperation as would secure for instructors in the Providence pub- lic schools, when they desired to retire, a larger income than could be secured from the average inadequate salary, led to many of the city teachers gathering together for the discussion, which usually precedes the formation of any society banded for common welfare. In June of 1896 hundreds of city teachers signed a petition asking the school board to frame a bill which should create a fund for retiring teachers. This petition was presented by Governor Elisha Dyer at the last meeting of the school committee for that scholastic year. A sub-committee was appointed, consisting of Governor Elisha Dyer, Gen. Hunter C. White and Mr. Alfred Metcalf, to formulate some scheme for carrying out the desires of the teachers. Data were collected by Governor Dyer from every possible point upon similar acts framed either by foreign countries, by the states or by the teachers themselves. On Labor Day, Septem- ber 7, the bill was framed, and later, when submitted to the teachers, was endorsed by nearly five hun- dred. It became a law by act of legislature in May of 1897, and the first voluntary payment of one per cent of the monthly salary was made in October, 1897. The law provides that each city teacher joining the association in October of 1897 shall have de- ducted one per cent of his monthly salary until he desires to retire. It is a requirement that all persons admitted to the teaching force after the first assess- ment was made shall l)e assessed for the fund. The tax upon no teacher shall be more than twelve dol- lars per year. The act provides that, in order to be retired on half pay up to the limit of a twelve hundred dollar yearly salary, a retiring teacher, if a woman, shall have taught thirty years ; if a man, thirty-five years, and that twenty years of said teaching shall preceding retirement have been in the Providence schools. The fund at present amounts to about thirty thousand dollars, invested by the city treasurer, who is treasurer of the fund, in Providence city bonds. With the interest accruing this year and the pav- ment of one per cent from salaries the fund will amount to about thirty-five thousand dollars. In order to pay first retiring annuitants in October, 1902, fifty thousand dollars is required, and the present Bazaar is beintr held to complete the deficit of fifteen thousand dollars.

With full acknowledgment of the value to tlic community of the home influences that make for -ood and' a perfect consciousness of the home intlu- ences that make for evil the teacher stands unique and alone, strengthening the one. weakening the other. ... Never was there required greater vigilance to pio- tect and to preserve our institutions than to-day. \t the crime of last September the nation still shnd- flers Not bv drastic acts of Congress, nor oy preaching of the Word, can the foul spirits of An- archy and Crime be met and overthrown, but by the education of the children, in the school rooms ot the people, with the teachers of the children, as cap- tains of the hosts. Surely if anv calling has a right to expect recog- nition of its unmeasured services, and consideration for its invaluable labor, it is the calling of the teacher. Inirthermore. there is no profession among the many that so taxes the nervous energy, tries the disposition, or is so exacting in a hundred ways as that of teaching. And this is most forcibly brought out by the fact'' that in none of the other professions is there so large a percentage of those who are early incapacitated for further service in the work. \'ery few persons in the busy, tireless community in which we live have the remo'test idea of the stren- uous life recmired of the teachers of the ptiblic schools. Then again, there is probably no profes- sion so generally underpaid as that of teaching. When one takes' into consideration the exhausting nature of the work, the high standard of efficiency and knowledge required of the teachers of to-day to enable them' to keep abreast of the marvelous progress in education, the salaries of the male teach- ers seem modest, while the absurdly small salaries of the female teachers are not at all in proportion to the services rendered. According to the reports of the U. S. Bureau ot Education for iSyS-gg the average annual salary paid to teachers and supervising officers in the City of Boston was $i,o65.77- I" the City of Providence tor similar services the sum was $664.46. lO npholcl the dignity and proper standing of her profession a teacher must live well, dress well, and devote not only time, but means, to outside studies. How can she then, out of her meager earnings lay anvthmg aside for the time when she, by reason of infirmity or old age, can no longer teach ? \nother fact which I have not yet stated, is one which should appeal to us more deeply than any. and xet, strange to say, very few in the community realize it at all. A very large percentage of the teachers of our public schools are the only bread winners of their families. They are cheer ully and quietly bearing heavy burdens of which the world will never know. r ■ w- 1 ^ ^ -u What, then, can be done tor these faithtul teach- ers who are doing so much for the youth of this community? In what way can we show them that their high' calling and great responsibilities are ap- preciated?

When we are studying children we know the joy of continual discovery. Human nature is inexhaust- ible, and as we gaze into the mind of a pupil we may say, as did Kepler when he gazed into the star-lit sky: "T think Thy thoughts after Thee, O God!" Each new power developed is as interesting as the flashing of a new star into the heavens. We feel that we are constantly in the presence of the infinite. We are amazed at the restless activity, the ceaseless play of energy on the part of the pupil, and all our study begins in wonder. And this wonder soon passes into the sense of solemn responsibility, as we realize that the mark we make on the child's nature endures forever. The dent we make on iron or steel can be removed, the scar of solid shot on armor plate can be beaten out, but our imprint on mind and heart is eternal. The "hand that rounded Peter's dome" had slight responsibility compared with the hand that rounded Peter himself, or that left him unrounded and un- balanced ; and to "groin the aisles of ancient Rome" is an easy task compared with the moulding of a generation of students. Joy and responsibility — these are the two poles of our task. If we do not feel a daily and ever deep- ening joy in our work, we have not learned how to do it. If we are not at times oppressed by our responsibility, we do not yet see our work as it is. But, steadied by responsibility and strengthened by the joy of noble work, we may make our life full of service to our age and our nation. President of Brown University. SANTA SOPHIA. mosques give rliythmic accent to the seven-hilled city, whose swelling mass is echoed on the right by Sku- tari, and again and again, softly and more softly by the islands of the Princess, fading away into the mys- tic east. The warm cream color of the houses with their red-orange tiles, the ivory palace and mosques, intermingled with the rich green foliage of acacias and cypresses, give to the city a beauty such as few capitals can boast. It seems impossible to imagine anything on earth more lovely than the superb pano- rama of this cit\- of the Sultan. The approach to \'enice is not finer than the ap- proach to Constantinople from the sea of Marmora. The citv is first a fluttering ribbon of gray, with one pale pearl upon it. As we approach, the ripples of ribbon become hills and the pearl becomes the mosque of ]\Iuhammed II. Drifting masses of cloud dapple the landscape with purple shadows. The city is vio- let one moment except the Stamboul tower ; the next, the Mosque of Ahmed is the only glowing object : now the Seraglio point and Santa Sophia glitter in green and gold and rose color ; now they are dark emerald and purple.

The Seraglio gardens, about the ancient acropolis of Byzantium, hiding and revealing the historic struc- tures which stand where stood the fortresses and pal- aces, the temples and baths of those old Greeks from Megara, two thousand years ago, the domes of the churches of the Byzantine Empire, the Imperial Palaces, the modern military buildings, the hurry- ing flood from the Golden Horn, the calm sky benil- ing down behind the city, but form a setting for that priceless jewel of the east, San Sophia. But the approach to the oKl church through the city ! The dogs ! the filth ! the desolation I Yes : but how magnificently Ijarbaric, how captivatingly picturesque here and there ! The old city is incon- gruouslv constructed, shamefully neglected, and scandalouslv populated. Everything is literally "go- ing to the dogs" — and snch dogs ! Never mind. The unspeakable Turk shall be shaken out of it some day, and now let us be thank- ful that it is possible for us to pass safely through his city — if there are men in our party — and we have Souvenir Book — Providence Teachers^ Basaar. a guide — and it is day! for there is the great heap of the church before us, and we came here to see that. SANTA SOPHIA. The first impression of the building is disappoint- ing, even to one famihar with its photographs. It is dull in color, it looks unclean, and the incrustations of Moslem ugliness, the hideous excrescences which have appeared during the thirteen hundred three score and nine years of its existence, have obscured and obliterated the original lines of the building. The men who could build the church of The Savior and that of St. Irene, so admirably pro- portioned, so simple and restful in line, so chaste in detail, could not have built Santa Sophia as it now appears. From beneath these monstrous modifica- tions the old church, whose plan was laid down by an angel and perfected by one hundred architects working as one man, now cries out to England and America for help. "O Lord, help Theophilus, O Mother of God. help Theodora Augusta : O Christ, help Michael."* O ye Christians, help Santa Sophia! The interior, too, has suflfered irreparably, espe- cially above the cornice. The King's daughter was all glorious within ; her garments were of wrought gold, but now she is covered with sack cloth and sits in ashes — until this abomination of desolation be over-passed. The gold mosaics have been cov- ered with plaster ; the lily crosses in relief upon the marble slabs have been chiseled away ; the great figures of apostles and prophets have been eclipsed by immense green shields scrawled over with the * The three lines are inscribed upon the hronze gate at the south end of the narthe.K. names of Mohammed's generals. The church was oriented, of course, but not meccared (if I may coin a word for the occasion). Mecca lies about east- southeast, evidently, for the mirhab is about two points off the center of the apse, and the mini bar, the dais, and all the prayer rugs are slued accordingly, producing a peculiarly unpleasant effect, more irre- ligious and heretical, esthetically, than two points variation from Mecca could possibly have been. But notwithstanding all these desecrations the old church itself is there yet, and beneath the hands of a Tiffany it would come forth as gold from the furnace. To attempt a description of this interior would be to attempt the impossible. No words can adequately embody the spirit of the place. The nave is so large, so well proportioned, so wondrously lighted, that its true dimensions cannot readily be grasped by the mind. A walk of half an hour through the aisles and galleries will help to an appreciation of the vast span of the central dome and the immense area en- closed within the walls. The nave is a grand hall two hundred and fifty feet in length, one hundred feet wide, and one hundred and eighty feet high. "The eye wanders upwards from the large arcades of the ground-floor to the smaller arches of the galleries and thence to the small seini-domes. These lead the eye on to the larger, and the whole culminates in the great central roof, a dome one hundred and seven feet across," says Ferguson. "Nothing, probably, so artistic has been done on the same scale, before or since." An idea of what the color eft'ect of the entire inte- rior must have been may be best obtained from the eso-narthex, the spacious vestibule, which has suf- fered less because there was less to suffer. Verd antique and porphyry, creamy marble and alabaster, weathered bronze and gold mosaic, combine with sculptured moldings and jeweled glass to produce a complex harmony of astonishing beauty. Nor is the coloring of the walls their only glor\-. The mar- ble panels are composed of thin slabs framed together so that their veins make bilateral and balanced pat- terns of quaint erratic curves, or in the cornices, run- ning patterns of waving lines. Near the floor the circumscribing moldings are plain bands, the borders of the lower panels have a geometric counterchang- ing pattern, in the upper panels tracery appears, and along the cornice foliated ornament of greatest deli- cacv. The sculiitured details of the capitals are ex- quisite in drawing and in modeling. The under- cutting is so deep, in many cases, that the ornament forms a network of channeled stems and plaited leaflets entirely free from the body of the block, save here and there where little pegs of tnarble have been left to keep the precious veil in place. Every detail is cut so carefully and finished so perfectly, one is forced to believe that here, for once, not "Love and Terror laid the tiles." but Love only. The chancel especially, like Mary's alabaster box of ointment, is very precious.

The glitter of the gold was broken into minute particles of light by the innumerable facets of the mosaics far away in the vaulted ceilings, and fell through the great spaces of the church like the dim glory of the stars. INTERIOR OF SANTA SOPHIA. The church was a perfect embodiment of the gos- pel in its purity, — all-embracing, chaste, temperate, beautiful. Of the most precious material, of the most happy design, of masterly workmanship, of exquisite color, it stands to-day, though disfigured by the Turk, the grandest monument on earth to the Church of the Fathers, and one of the wonders of the world. Sitting near the central entrance, as the light wanes in the west, with the full effect of the vast temple flooding the mind, one seems to be in the presence of a queenly woman with whitened hair, clad in silver gray with old rose and violet and pale emerald embroidery of silk, with necklace of pearls and jewels of opal. There is about her a repose, like that of one who, purified by suffering, awaits with hope her long lost love. The peace of God that passes understanding is upon her blessed face. Karnak is brutal, the Parthenon heartless, Cologne thoughtless, when compared with Sophia, the Queen of the East. X^ «T1^^.

IS A The Teachers' Retirement Eund thus far has been obtained by the teachers' own efforts, while in otlier I cities such a fund has been augmented b)- gifts and ' bequests. That the teachers have been wilHng to work for this cause so hard proves their apprecia- tion, of what such a fund means to them. The in- come that an\' one can receive when she retires from teaching will be small; still, that added to any sav- ings she may have would enable the recipient to live in comparative comfort. It is often asserted that women teachers have larger pay than any other class of working women. While this may be true, it is also true that their expenses are greater from the character of their work. The number of hours which they are occupied far exceeds the school sessions. Never have the requirements for teachers been so exacting as at present. They are required to remain after school closes to attend teachers' meetings, courses of study are prejjared for them to pursue, scholars' work has to be examined and corrected — all of which demand time which it is assumed the teachers are devoting to rest. Little leisure is left for them to do their own sewing, even if they had the physical strength after the exhausting work of a day, so they are compelled to hire their sewing done. Again, a teacher should be dressed so neatlv and tastefuU}- that she is a model of good taste; if she is that, her dress cannot be as inexpensive as if she were in some other employment. Another class of expenses arises frcim the necessity of buying books and magazines to kee]5 abreast of the progress of the times. No matter how thorough the education of the teacher may have been, she can- not hope to fill properly any position if she does not continue her studies. She must have reference books at her hand, where at any moment they can be consulted, or she will not be in touch with the political, the literary, and the sociological conditions of the day. Whoever fails to do this will not be an inspiration to a pu]Ml. Teaching is especially a men- tally exhausting work because the teacher is con- stantly giving her vitality in order to arouse and stimulate the listless or indifferent pupil. In return she does not receive the inspiration that comes from the contact of mature minds with each other. To be able to do the best for scholars as far as possible the mind of the teacher should be free from anxietv. If, then, teachers know that when they honorably retire from teaching they are assured of a small pension, one cause of anxiety is removed, giving calmness of mind that will make better instructors. Every citizen must realize that whatever relieves the nervous strain incidental to teaching increases the efficiency of the teachers and makes the school better for his children. In justice to the teachers it should be stated that one per cent of their salaries is yearly added to the Retirement Eund. It is hoped that when the fund is raised to fifty thousand (lollars, this contribution from the salaries and voluntary gifts will prevent the necessity of public appeals, which are as distasteful to the teachers as to those to whom they appeal. en!r Book — Providence Teachers'' Bazaar. prises that are to-day so supreme in educational progress. Until professional spirit and intensity can face the problems of books, heat, ventilation, seating, and architecture, we shall all rejoice that commercial enterprise will lead us heroically. Schools can be well taught in a mechanical way by very ordinary women, who go about their work as the typewriter sits at her machine and develops greater speed week by week, and this is what teach- ing will mean unless teachers solve educational problems instead of performing school room ex- amples.

And my cheek is fanned by the breezes cool. Down to the curve of the old stone wall. Where a clump of sumacs flame and shine ; Past the broken bars where red and gold Blend fair in the tangled blackberry vine. On to the brook I lingering wade. Crossing the slippery stones below, Then up to the hill where chestnut burrs Green in their prickly armor show ; Resting awhile on the old flat rock For a taste from the well-filled dinner pail; Mocking with boyish skill and pride ; The clear-toned notes of the whistling quail. Watching the squirrel's nimble run On the top-most rail of the pasture fence; Hearing the droning honey-bee As he gathers the pollen his heart contents; Through the narrow palh where the goldenrod Nods and sways to the aster blue, Then over the wall to the dusty road Where the old gray school-house comes to view. Warped and twisted its windows and doors; Battered and cut each desk and seat; Dingy and gray its sagging floors Worn for years by the passing feet. Yet to many hearts is its memory dear. The old walls bathed in the sunset's glow, When our hearts were young and we drank life's wine In the dear dead days of the long ago. Instittition life of any sort is beset by dangers of its own. The institution in the beginning is actu- ated by a wholly beneficent purpose. The hospital, for example, was created purely to serve the sick and the miserable, to comfort and to heal. The patient was the prime consideration ; yet as the institution grows and the problems of organization increase, it often happens that the machinery of the institiUion overshadows the cotiifort and well-being of the individual patient. The beds must be made with square corners and smooth coverlids, and the ward must be put in complete order before the ar- rival of the visiting stafif. Thus zeal for the appear- ance of order sometimes outweighs concern for the comfort of the individual. Woe to the patient whose individuality is completely swallowed up in the "case." This illustration simply indicates the un- conscious trend of the institution. The evil comes about so gradually and unconsciously that its exist- ence is often unrecognized by those within the walls of the hospital or of the school. Looking earnestly toward certain ends, which in the institution life are very important, one easily comes to see things out of their normal proportions, to magnify the little, and to underestimate the great. The public school is not without its dangers in this regard. The public has, by tacit consent, left the management of the schools to the few people who are particularly concerned in education. The town elects the school committee, the committee selects the teachers and then the school runs itself. After a certaiti number of years of regular attend- ance upon the school sessions, the child comes back home with his diploma, certifying that he is "edu- cated," in the popular sense. The mother dismisses the child, sending him to school, as if her concern ended with his departure. He goes into school for the si.x hours of the school session and comes back into the actual world, as from another climate, at night. It sometimes happens, too, that the teacher, sheltered within the four walls of the school-room, and inheriting the mantle of school tradition, fails to keep in touch with the world outside. In her keen desire to enable her pupils to pass the required examinations and to win promotions from grade to grade, she loses sight of other results far more important, and afifecting the whole life of the child. This difficulty arises from insulation and from lack of perspective. If the teacher could see the whole life of the child, at school, at home, in church, in the neighborhood and community, school affairs would assume their right proportions and school requirements would become less artificial and abnormal. A superintendent in a Alassachusetts town re- cently visited one of his schools, in which he found 20 Souvenir Book — Providence Teachers' Bazaar. a young normal graduate teaching fifty little children of first grade. They had just come from home. Some of them had been taught a few months in the kindergarten. All of the chldren, except a group reciting to the teacher, were sitting with folded hands, in erect position, in the middle of their chairs, their feet upon the floor. "Why do you require the children to fold their hands?" asked the superintendent. "So that the school will look well if any one comes in," was the naive reply. It was a most natural one. The young girl doubtless remembered "taking position" as one of the school virtues of her childhood. She was des- perately an.Kious to succeed in teaching and to maintain her position as a teacher. If her school should be in order when visited by the committee or superintendent, all would be well. Broader vision and greater experience would lead her to consider the active life of the children. The five-year-old at home, or out of doors, skips from one object to another, moves constantly in his play, is ever active, ever inquisitive, is always learning something, always expressing something. If we compare the periods of natural silence with those required by the school, the hours of absolute quiet in the school-room with the complete freedom of the playground, \\& shall be able to realize the ten- sion and strain which must result from the enforced quiet of the primary school, and the long periods of attention to drill without variety or change. Think even what it would mean to grown up people to comply absolutely with the rules of the primary school-room, and then consider how much we are really exacting from the little ones, when we make a requirement like that which has just been de- scribed. The truly wise and well-trained teacher looks at her school from two points of view. She sees the institution side and the child's side. Many things are not permitted in school simply because many children are working together, and the freedom which might be allowed readily to one cannot be admitted for the many. There must be orderly action and such self-control and restraint as will admit of class exercises and other orderly move- ments. On the other hand, the school ceases to fulfill its function when the good of the individual is entirely yielded to the success of the institution. School order which is secured at the cost of tension and strain, of fear, or even dullness and indiiifer- ence, costs too much. Rules are made for the good of the school and the individual, as well. They must be tested by their effect upon the individual, and susnended when they thwart this development. The young teacher, straining every nerve to fix the multiplication table in the minds of her heed- less eis^ht-year-olds, affixes a penalty to every fail- ure. Every child who "misses" must stay after school at noon and "make up" the lesson. The di- rection is conscientious and well meaning; the teacher has her eye upon the school attainment ; but she does not realize that the power to master the multiplication table depends upon the health and buoyancy and vigor of the child's mind. The eight-year-old brain, having had three hours in school, sitting quietly at the desk, without particu- lar interest in the subject of instruction, it not stim- ulated to vigorous action by further detention at noon. The tardy little feet, let loose at half past twelve instead of twelve, rush home to the belated dinner and the impatient reprimand, and hurry back to avoid the doom of tardiness. Useless for us to pray that "Good digestion wait on appetite, and health on both," under such circumstances. The adult, bolting his dinner under such condi- tions, is warned by his physician of the inevitable results of indigestion and melancholy. Not even the school side of things is well guarded, under such administration. How indispensable that the teacher should have a broad vision and see the child side and the home side, as well as the school side of life. These illustrations might readily be turned about to show the virtue of the wider vision. "Good morning, Jane," says Miss Smith, with a smile, as the anxious face of ten-year-old Jane ap- pears at the school door at half past nine in the morning. "I wonder what happened to make you so late." Jane, comforted and emboldened by the teacher's tone, confides that the mother was sick and she had to get the breakfast, make the other children ready for school, and then do the dishes, before she could come to school. Miss Smith replies, "How glad I am that you can help your mother. She must be proud. I am glad you could come to school even for part of the morning. Children, Jane had to be late because her mother was sick and needed her. Aren't we glad that she came?" Helping mothers is always and forever a virtue, to be cultivated in school and out. Heaven sends us many a blessing in this earth life of ours, but only one mother, and if we have to choose between sacrificing the multiplication table or the loving kind- ness and tender service of the home, let us dismiss the multiplication table. It was well for Jane that she was not a member of Miss Brown's class, across the hall ; for Miss Brown, in her stern and steadfast pursuit of the school virtues and her earnest desire to secure an immaculate school register, would have repri- manded the small Jane for tardiness, making her late advent so fearsome that absence would have been the happy alternative. Miss Brown is so con- cerned with the school side of things that she never sees the other side. 21 Sovvoiir Book — Providence Teachers' Bazaar. The moral is an obvious one. "Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might" is a wise text for us all, but in school teaching it must be modified before it leads us to doing the "one thing," school teaching, to the exclusion of all other things. If I were to advise young teachers just entering upon their chosen calling, I should say to them, "Do not be satisfied with meagre attainment. Teach well, and better every day, but know that you are chosen to be, not a teacher of reading, or writ- ing, or arithmetic, or algebra, or geometry, but a teacher of children. To teach well you must under- stand child life, and your heart must be in sympathy with child life. You should carry vigor and buoy- ancy and sunshine into the school-room. Instead of correcting papers until midnight, marking every minutest error with blue pencil, that you may be esteemed a thorough teacher, go early to bed, stay much out of doors, walk in the woods, study flow- ers and birds and improve every opportunity of be- ing with the children, in their homes and at their play. Try to see how mothers and fathers, how business men and women, look upon life. Study to learn what life really requires of the children and so help your school to develop the higher virtues which will forever and forever be counted for good, whether in school or out. If you look at life from the side of the school alone, your work must in- evitably fail ; but if you judge your school out of a true understanding of the meaning of life, you will learn how to succeed."

Professor of Italian Literature, Brown University. Nothing 'is more indicative of the taste of a com- munity than the display in the great plate glass windows of the large shops. The successful mer- chant understands his public, and knows what sort of wares will please, and attract custom. His win- does show, not what he likes best, but what he thinks the people will like and buy. A walk through the shopping district of a city gives us a more com- plete description of the i'lhabitants than can be found in any guide book. It tells us whether their taste is for extraordinary bargains in gay and gaudy things, or whether they have reached that degree of culture which is better pleased with quiet simplicity ; whether their lives are passed in the struggle for a mere existence, or whether they are comfortable and prosperous ; or whether they are full of rest- lessness, and desire for display, and longing for excitement, or whether they care more for a simple, beautiful home life, with quiet leisure for mental refreshment and spiritual growth. Nothing has lately appeared in our shop windows which suggests more of comfort and good taste in the home than the new oak furniture. It is so sin- cere and dignified in its design. Its straight lines are a rest to the eye, so long wearied with the-mean- ingless curves and unaccountable angles of Iragile mahoganized and ebonized and varnished absurdities in furniture. Its ample pro]:)ortions are The cuts used to illustrate this article were kindly fur- nished by Messrs.

It is not only designed well, but it is well con- structed, too. Its appearance of strength is genuine. There are no ctits across the grain of the wood giving corners which will split off, and the joints are solidly mortised together. The material and its finish are quite in keeping with the character of the design. It is good wood, carefully selected and respectfully treated. It is not filled with var- nish, nor covered with paint or gilding, nor fretted with rude and flimsy machine carving, nor abused by any of those methods commonly em- ployed to conceal poor wood and inferior work- manship in cheap furniture. It is made smooth enough to take nicely the oil stain which is rubbed into it, and which brings out the natural beauty of the grain of the wood, while it tones it to a har- monious coloring and gives it a soft lustre that is very different from a varnished shine. It is truly artistic, in that each article, whether chair or table, is designed to fulfill the purpose of a chair or a table. Fitness to purpose is the first requisite of artistic design, as well as of good taste in selection, and nothing can be good if it is inappropriately used. Roast beef is an excellent article of diet, but it would hardly be appropriate to serve as light refreshment at an evening party. So, too, this substantial, comfortable furniture would be out of place in company with the satin walls and fine lace curtains which people like to have in their parlors, — the show rooms, where vis- itors are expected to come in their best clothes and not stay very long. But think how admirably it answers the require- ments of a family sitting room, a living room, as set forth by that great reformer in household fur- nishing, William Morris: — "Chairs which jou can sit in, a couch which you can lie upon, a table which will stand steadily while you write or work at it, a bookcase well filled with books." Contrast this with some of the rooms you know, so crowded with to- pling tables and cabinets of useless bric-a-brac that a journey through them is attended with infinite danger of mishaps, and the sweepings and dustings must be nightmares.

Much is said of the successful author in these days — particularly of the successful novelist. The prizes of literature are plentiful and are open to all. Mr. Hall Caine slays his thousands and Mr. Winston Churchill his tens of thousands. Yet to old- fashioned persons the gain to public taste and cul- ture is not always apparent. Is the exclusive devo- tion to "The Eternal City" and "The Crisis" likely to lead to an appreciation of the best in the art of fiction ? Is it calculated to stimulate a love of read- ing for reading's sake, to turn the attention of the young to poetry and criticism and history, to elevate the mind by the contemplation of the best that has 23 Sounenir Book — Providence Teachers" Bazaar. been done and said in the world ? To many excel- lent persons a book is a book. Just as, in Mr. Gil- bert's ballad, a king is a king to England, whether savage or civilized — "She does not push inquiry far To learn what kind of king you are," • — so to parents often, and perhaps to teacners some- times, the printed page seems to be in itself a guar antee of usefulness. The boys and girls may thus fill their minds with trash and no one need be the wiser. Nor is current criticism any real guide to modern literature. It is hardly an exaggeration to say that the worse a book is the more praise it gets. Think of the tons of slush ladled out and the ecstasies of professed judges as the process goes on! Authors advertise themselves as if they were new brands of soap. Genius springs up and flourishes everywhere. The old reticence is gone. An author who objects to taking the public into his confidence regarding the smallest details of his daily life is hopelessly behind the times. The interview is a deadly weapon. It can be made to serve any occasion. The assumption that the workings of a great mind are of surpassing interest may be justified — at least the appetite for this sort of stuff shows no signs of satiation. Never- theless a degree of cynical amusement may be de- rived from a contemplation of the tricks of the trade. Here is a fragment from one recent confession: "I first began to write," says this star in the literary heavens, "in my solitude in an old country house, when I was fourteen — exclusively metaphysics.'' The last touch is a crowning stroke. Most children of fourteen write nonsense, if they write at all. But genius can be content with nothing less than "meta- physics." It is a pity that none of these youthful effusions has been preserved. To think of Thackeray or Arnold setting down with such precious solemnity precocious incursions into the unknowable is an absolute impossibility. Posturing of that sort is antagonistic to that sim- plicity of mind which is usually characteristic of the highest intellects. Yet the blatant advertising authors of the day delude thousands into taking them at their own valuation. Few things can be more harmful to genuine taste in literature than acceptance by the young of the current favorites. There is an opportunity for those in a position of influence to take a stand for literary truth and righteousness, to teach the distinction between the sham and the real, to cultivate the mind in apprecia- tion of what is permanent and noble. Persons of middle age who like the Caines and Corellis are probably hopeless. But with the young the chance for improvement has not gone by. Let us hope that it will not be wholly neglected. ip» THE I!()V WHO WAS ALWAYS LATE. Little boys and girls, the moral to this dreadful tale is, never be late for school. For if you are, it is dollars to doughnuts that, like Tommy, of whom I am going to tell, you will be late for everything ever and ever all through your life. I remember Tommy — away back ever so far — more's the pity that it is so far — and it was seldom, very seldom, that he was at his desk in school before the last bell stopped. I remember one day he was running along the street, his hat in one hand and his slate covered with examples in the other. It was about two minutes before nine and the last bell was tolling, tolling still more slowly. Tommy knew that he couldn't make the school before the bell stopped, but he was doing his level best, and as he ran he pondered over what new excuse he would have. His mind working over the excuse problem, evidently interfered with the other function which controlled the flying feet, for poor Tommy suddenly tripped over a curb-stone, and that was the end of it. The bell stopped about the same time. Tommy's shin was skinned, likewise his nose, and from the latter member the bright red youthful blood began to trickle. When Tommy saw the blood, it was all up with him. His already overstrained nerves slackened up and Tommy sat down on the sidewalk and wept. As he wiped his bleeding nose on his jacket sleeve, his glance fell on his slate, now shattered into about si.xteen pieces, each piece bearing sections of the examples over which he had labored the night before. Did his tears break out in larger volume? Not Tommy's; his tears were for more momentous events than the breaking of example-covered slates. To the con- trary, the overflowing fountain behind his eves 24 Souvcni?- Book — Providence Teachers' Bazaar dried up like magic. "Ha! ha!" he thought, "a good excuse!" And with great dehberation he gathered up the broken slate, and bloody nose and skinned shin forgotten, he marched confidently to school. "Surely," he thought, "my troubles will be a suiificient excuse to-day." But alas and alack, his evil genius still hovered over him, for as he opened the school-room door, the pieces of slate slipped to the floor with a dreadful clatter. The children snickered and through the din Tommy heard the voice of the teacher bidding him begone. That was a sorrowful day for Tommy. He was turned away without being heard. There was noth- ing to do but to go home, where he knew a whipping awaited him. Needless to say, Tommy got all that he expected at home, but sad to relate, the day's experiences did not effect a cure. Day after day Tommy could be seen running like mad across lots in a vain effort to crowd one minute into five, while the principal stood on the front steps of the school waving encourage- ment to the panting youngster who was earnestly striving to beat the bell, but whom the former knew he would soon have by the ear. I remember one day iommy nearly beat the bell. He got as far as the school-room door only to hear the call to prayer. Of course, he couldn't break in then and he waited patiently until the devotions were over, when he walked boldly in. "Late for prayers to-dav, Tommv," said the teacher. Next day Tommy's seat was again vacant. "See if Tommy is saying his prayers through the key- hole," ordered the teacher to the boy nearest the door. Sure enough, when the door was swung open, there was Tommy, hat in hand and out of breath, stooping over as though about to squint through the keyhole. Tommy evidently just couldn't help being late. He is now grown up and he is always late, just as he was in the days when he used to scoot across the fields to school. Does he ever wait quietly on the street comer for a car? Not Tommy. Instead he catches it on the fly. "Hi! Hi!" is his daily cry as "No'm," replied Tommy, "said them through the keyhole." he races down the street after the electric, and the motorman and conductor without turning their heads, smile as the car slows up and say, "Here comes Tommy — late as usual." Late, always late, is Tommy, such as he was in childhood, such is he to-day, and it is fully expected by his friends that he will have the same kind of a hustle to get inside the "Pearly Gates" that he had to get inside the school-yard gate in the days of his youth. He says himself, though, that if he has as good an excuse as he had on the dav he stubbed his toe and smashed his slate, he doesn't believe St. Peter will turn him down as the teacher did on that sorrowful day "lang syne." 2^ Sonvetiir Book — Providence Teachers' Bazaar. LITTLE NICKY ALL-RIGHT AND HIS FIRST THANKSGIVING IN AMERICA. Of course tliis was not his real name ! When he landed at Castle Garden after the long journey from Russia he was written down in the big- book by the big man with the brass buttons on his coat "Nicholas Pevolosky, Jr." He stood there looking so small but so very bright and determined for his eight years that the big man with the brass buttons instinctively addressed him as the head of the family. There was a "Nicholas Pevolosky, Sr.," oh, yes ! But he had suffered so much in Russia because he was a Jew, and because he loved liberty, and he had worked so hard to get the money to bring his family to America, and tlie crowd and the noise and the seasickness on the ship and the strange sights of the landing-place had so confused him, that he stood dazed, with his heavy fur cap pulled down to his bushy eyebrows, and knowing only that he must cling fast to his blind mother and murmur softly to her once in a while that she need not fear. And there was a "Mrs. Pevolosky," oh, yes ! But she had the tiny baby in her arms and the two-year-old baby clinging to her apron at the side, and the lame boy of four clinging to her dress be- hind, and she was using one hand to keep the twin girls of six near her in front, and how could she do more than this? So Nicholas, Jr., stepped out in front of the group and looked up in the face of the big man with brass buttons and smiled his most en- gaging smile as much as to say, "Deal with me, sir." The big man looked at the tiny boy with his cour- ageous air and had to smile back ; but he shook his head at the blind grandmother and said something to the next officer, and then they both shook their heads and called for a Russian interpreter. And that man who spoke their own language told them the officers feared that some of them would become a public charge and that they might have to send the blind grandmother back. And when that was said the father straightened himself up and said, "No, no, this is a free country, — I have a little money, — Leon Pimenoff told me to come." And then the face of the interpreter brightened, and he stepped to the telephone and spoke with Leon Pimenoff, and then turned to the big man with the brass buttons and said, in English ; "It's all right ; they are expected, and will be cared for until they get on their feet." And then the officer, who had been looking at the anxious faces of the group, smiled and said again, "All right ; if you'll vouch that Pimenoff will look out for them they may pass." Now little Nicholas had watched eagerlv for the words "All right," for he had learned them on ship- board and had found that they were magic words opening all sorts of doors. Had not the captain used them when the kind, funny ladv wanted to draw his picture and waved her hand toward the upper cabin, and he had been shown its delights? Had not the jolly sailor with the red face said "All right" when he showed him the great engine, and the engine-man said the same when he let him stay so long to hear the thump, thump, and see the slow up and down motion of the mighty arms? And did not the little girl who gave him the sweet grapes and the red apples say "All right" when he tried to thank her and couldn't? And now the man who could talk to them in their own tongue said "All right," and the man with the brass buttons said, too, "All right," and behold they were allowed to go with this new friend, who knew Leon Pimenoff, his father's friend. Surely they were magic words, indeed ! So he practiced them over to himself as they wedged their way through the crowd ; and at the door of Castle Garden, when he reached the last officer, little Nicholas looked up and smiled and gave the salute he had seen the sailors make to the captain and mate on the ship, and called out very loud "All right." And the man smiled back and called to the officer behind him, "Hullo, here's a line chap, — he knows United States already." As they stepped into the open streets of the great city Father Pevolosky's heart gave a throb, — "Here we are at last, free, and in the land of promise, America !" But how wild and dangerous that free- dom seemed ! The man shrank in terror and pain, as rude boys, catching sight of his quaint blouse and cap and his unkempt beard and hair and his hesitating gait and stooped shoulders, called out, "Hey, there, old cove, when did you leave the ark?" He did not understand the words, but he knew the rough tone meant scorn and unfriendliness. He was a gentle scholar and knew more of books in his own tongue than they would ever know in any language, since idle boys of that sort rarelv learn much. But he was a broken man and sensitive to the knowledge that he looked unlike the men he met : and he answered not a word to their railing. Little Nicholas felt angry and his cheeks grew hot, but he tried to propitiate the scoffers and ran up quite close to them and smiled, and saluted, and said as loud as he could, "All right. All right." And then the biggest boy seemed to feel a bit ashamed and called out, "O, come off. Let 'em alone !" and led the gang down another street ; and then little Nicholas was certain that the magic words would protect them all. There is no time to tell how Leon Pimenoff put them in a tenement of one room and a closet bed- room and paid the rent for a month ; and how he took them to the wonderful school (founded by the noble Jew, Baron de Hirsch) where the father and 26 Souvenir Book — Providence Teachers' Bazaar. little Nicholas and even the twins began at once to learn the language of their new country ; and how the neighbors, all poor but none quite so poor as they, helped them often to a bite and a sup to eke out their scanty meals ; and how the Rabbi found them out and made them at home. And there is no time to tell how as soon as little Nicholas learned to reckon in our money and could speak a few words of English, which was very soon in- deed, he was made a newsboy and began to bring home earnings. Nor can we tell how when, later, Father Pevolosky could reckon and talk a little in our way, a neighbor who was a peddler of fruit and vegetables and was growing prosperous, bought himself a new push-cart and sent Nicholas, Sr., out with the old rickety one and the left-over second-day stock to sell "at halves." There is no time for all this interesting story : but the Pevolos- kys began to get on and grew more and more happy that they were in America. One thing, how- ever, made the Father sad, although he was too patient to talk about it. He could play the violin beautifully, and it had been his greatest delight, but when they sold all else to bring them to Ameri- ca the violin went, too. And now he might never have another! But little Nicholas had a secret plan to buy a violin for his father when he grew rich. It was in June when the Pevoloskys landed at Castle Garden ; and in October, as a bright-faced young lady, with a smile as sweet as that of little Nicholas himself, was crossing Brooklyn Bridge for the first time since her return to town, she accidentally dropped a parcel as the car stopped in the middle of the bridge for the next one to get further ahead. And little Nicholas picked up the parcel, smiled at the young lady, made his salute, and said, Papees, Papees. All right," — and of course slie was much interested. He had a big bag of papers and seemed to be selling them ; but he looked so tiny beside the fat policeman, who was always stationed at that point, that she thought he must be simply holding the place for a big brother or friend. But as she crossed, often, back and forth over the bridge, she came to know him as the reg- ular newsboy of that particular spot. And one day when the car had a longer wait than usual, she questioned the good-natured policeman and found him most enthusiastic about little Nicholas. "Why," said he, "that boy beats 'em all ! He sells more papers than any boy about the bridge. He pretty near supports his family and goes to school at the Jewish place beside." And then the policeman told of the many children and the slow. old father ; and how many women and even men waited for their papers to give little Nicky the trade. "When he first started out," said he, "Nickv didn't know the ropes, you know. Miss. — how every boy has his place ; and he tried to push into another feller's stand down there in the train- shed while he'd gone to dinner. When that boy got back he made it hot for the little shaver. I was going to the Station, on relief, and heard the row, and I see the little Jew was getting knocked out and 1 took a hand myself. I told 'em he didn't know any better and Pd give him a place of his own. So I took him up here with me, and 1 tell you there ain't no feller wants to meddle W'ith him when Pm round. And mebbe they wouldn't want to if I warn't here, for he's got a mighty taking way with him, that little feller has, and the boys tiiem- selves like him now first rate. They call him 'little Nicky All right,' he says it so much. And that's what he is, Aliss, he's all right." After this the young lady always smiled back at Nicky as she passed and waited to buy her papers of him, and made all the numerous young men whom she knew do the same, and so "little Nicky's" business grew apace. Then it was coming near Thanksgiving and the newsboys were to have a big dinner given them by the Young Men's Christian Association. And the voung lacly's best friend was to be Master of Ceremonies. So she begged a ticket for little Nicky, pinning the badge of invitation on his blouse with her own hands. And then she went to the Pevolosky home and carried the twins tickets for the "King's Daughters' Mother Goose Party," which was to follow the Newsboys' Dinner ;" and so she saw the pathetic face of the father and got acquainted with the sunny-tempered mother and all the babies. All the while the Father was learning not to be so nnich afraid, and he trudged about with his rickety push-cart and his second-day fruit and veg- etables where the poorest people lived ; and had sometimes as much as a half-dollar of profits to di- \ide with the proprietor of the business when the night came. But one thing the peddler friend who gave him the job forgot to tell Father Pevolosky, and that was that one must keep moving with a push-cart and not stop still for a long time and sell from a cozy corner or sheltered court. There is a law, that the grocers who pay rent for shops are very anxious should be well enforced, that forbids such stopping. For if the men with only push- carts and no rent to pay were allowed to stand all day in good spots and sell their goods lower than the shopkeepers could do, it would hurt the shopkeepers badly. It was strange that the peddler friend forgot to tell Father Pevolosky about that law, for he was getting on so fast himself that he hoped soon to have a shop of his own. and then he would be very eager to keep the push-carts going all the time and would not want them to stop at all. However, he did forc^et. and so Father Pevolosky got into a terrible difficulty. He had some shrewd- ness when he was not too fris-htened to use it, and when he found a quiet court where some very 27 Souvenir Book — Providence Teachers' Bazaar. poor people lived and no shop upon it he adopted it for his standing place, and instead of walking so many weary miles as he did at first, he would go to that court very early in the morning and stop there until nearly noon and sell to the women, who found it quite convenient to have him so near their homes. He was getting on very well indeed with the women, for he took pains each day to see, as he passed, what were the prices for fruit and veg- etables asked by the nearest grocer, around the corner from the court, and he would ask a little less. This went on for some time and the mother felt proud of "her man" when larger and larger profits came in, and he was yet not so tired at night but he could take lessons in English from the twins who went to school all day. But meanwhile the man who had the shop around the corner had learned why his sales were lessened and who it was that was underselling him in the court. And he was very angry. He did not know that Father Pevolosky was disobeying the law ignorantly, and perhaps he would not have cared if he had known. The grocer was so very angry that nothing could stop him and he was bent on ''getting even" with the "Jewish push-cart trader." The grocer knew a sour-faced and hard-natured policeman (a man as different as could be from the policeman of Brook- lyn Bridge), and to him he confided his scheme. They would lay in wait for the push-cart man, they would trade with him so as to get proof of his vio- lation of law, they would not let any one warn him of his danger, but they would pounce upon him when he was most unsuspecting with a warrant of arrest and take him off to the Police Court. Of course he could not get bail, an old grizzle-beard like him, and he couldn't pay the big fine, and so he would find himself in jail. And good enough for him, the thieving Jew, coming to take the trade of honest folks that paid good rent-monev ! This was the wav thev talked among themselves. And now came Thankssiiving morning! Mother Pevo- losky had hardly been in bed all night for she had little Nickv's trousers to mend and his blouse to wash and iron for the great dinner, and she had snent manv moments admiring- the bright red neck- tie which the father had purchased for the boy. It was a ereat extravagance, but who could help it when he was to be the sruest of the prettv lady who liad brought the tickets? And the twins had new dresses made from the cast-ofT eowns of two neigh- bors ; youne women who tcnrled in a lovelv shop and had many fine clothes. The father was up un- commonly early, even for him. for mif^ht not the women of the court where he had established his cart want somethine for the Thankseiving feast of which he had heafd? And little Nicholas, he was up earlv always and ofif for his papers and must do all he could for the first edition this morning when lie was to have such a grand time later. And of course the twins could not sleep late when they were to go to a "King's Daughters' Mother Goose Party," — whatever delightful mystery that might mean ! The good mother smiled to herself as she worked, thinking what a fine time her children were to have. The dinner was to be at eleven o'clock. You may think that early for a Thanksgiving feast. But there was a treat to come after, — nothing less than free entertainment at Keith's, and "in the body of the house", — not the upper gallery, — so the printed program said. And the dinner must be over for that, and that in turn for the late sale of papers. By ten o'clock a surging crovi'd of boys stood in front of the Young Men's Christian Association Building waiting for the doors to open, and snififing the tantalizing odors that came from the kitchen. Little Nicholas was almost the last of the .group, for larger boys were pushing to the front to get the first seats ; and he stood where he could look down the street and to the very cross alley that led to the court where he knew his father was standing with his push-cart. Suddenly his heart stood still with terror! He saw a crowd of angr}' people, and yes, it was his father in the midst. And, look, there was the cross policeman, that even the biggest newsboys feared, holding his father roughly by the arm. Little Nicky darted down the street and in a minute was at his father's side. The poor man looked at his boy as to his savior, and poured out a flood of words that only he could understand about the push-cart, and the grocer, and that he was accused of breaking a law, and was to be car- ried to prison! Ah, now, thought little Nicky, is the time for the magic words to rescue and help if ever. Somehow the smile didn't come as well as usual, but the little fellow stepped up to the cross policeman, saluted in his best style and cried out very loud, "Please, Mr. Cop, — mine father, — all right, all right." Alas ! the spell did not work. For the first time in his experience the words failed and the police- man answered savagely, "Shut up there, you little rat, or Pll pull you in too." Little Nicky then turned to the grocer. He was shaking his fist at Father Pevolosky and saying over and over again, "You want to steal my trade, do 3'ou. you old thief? Pll teach you." And Nicky could see behind him the boys of the court, who had no tickets to the dinner and were angry at sight of his badge of invitation, shoving the push-cart along and e.ating or destroying its contents. Oh, it was horrible ! His father began to look white and sick and Nicky feared he would drop and die. But all at once as they were dragged towards the Sta- tion Nicky thouffht of the pretty ladv and the peo- ple with her at the dinner and it flashed across his mind that she might help. Shouting to his father in their own tongue. "Courage, I go for friends," he ran back with all speed to the Young Men's Christian Association Building. Alas, the door 28 Souvenir Book — Providence Teacliers' Bazaar. was shut and all the boys and those who were to serve them had disappeared. He shouted, but no one heard ; and then in desperation he picked up a stone and beat upon the door. It opened a crack and a burly policeman said sternly, "None of that, youngster, — those that don't have tickets must keep outside and not make a disturbance." "But I have ticket,"said little Nicky, showing his badge. "All right," said the man and let the boy in. "It works here again," thought little Nicky and he dashed up stairs to the dining-room. His pretty lady was near the door, — O, good luck once more ! Nicky was almost breathless from his mad run and his terror, but he someway managed to let the lady know he was in trouble and wanted her to come with him to help his father. With a word of ex- cuse to the next helper the lady snatched up a cape and without waiting for her hat ran with the child she knew not whither. He pulled her impatiently along, his own feet hardly touching the stones, un- til they came to the nearest Police Court. Then the young lady saw that it w-as some trouble about the laws, and she would have done better to have brought help. But she marched bravely up to the first officer in charge and asked, "Has a Russian Jew been taken in here?" The officer looked a little surprised at seeing a hatless young lady, coming to such a place, but he answered respectfully, "Yes, Miss, a push-cart man that planted himself all day in one place and the nearest grocer had him arrested. Nothing to inter- est you. Miss." "But I am interested," she said. "It is this little boy's father, and he is a good man and I want to tell the Judge about it. Take me in to him at once." "Well, now. Miss, I wouldn't if I was you," said the officer, "the Judge is awful tempery and hot this morning. The lawyers is most afraid of him and they're putting ofif their cases till he's better natured." The young lady drew her head up and her blue eyes flashed and the butterfly bow that just matched her eyes stood up straight in her yellow iiair in the November wind, and she said, "Please take m.e in at once, sir, I am going to see the Judge, and this poor man must be let off." "All right. Miss, if you say so," said the officer, and he began to pass her on from marshal to marshal until the young lady and the little boy stood in the Court room, both making believe very hard that they were not frightened. Nicky had eyes only for his father, to whom he made motions that he had come with a friend. The young lady watched the Judge eagerly to see what man- ner of man he was. "Tempery and hot, I should think so," she thought, "and unjust and vulgar and everything hateful beside. What shall I do? Why didn't I telephone my father and let him come?" But it was too late now ; and when she saw a sleek little man move near the Judge and say something to the next man and point to Mr. Pevolosky she divined that it was the grocer's lawyer and she stepped forward quickly: — "Mr. Judge," she said, breathlessly, "Your Honor, I mean" (for she sud- denly remembered that she had read that was the way "to address the Court"), "Your Honor, I know about this man here, this Russian Jew and he is all right." Little Nicky looked anxiously to see if the magic words would work once more. "He is all right," she repeated earnestly, "but he is ig- norant of our laws. There are friends who will pay the fine and if you want money now I have some," and she held up her silver purse. "But you must please let him go now, for he has done no real wrong, I know, and he is a good man." The Judge looked up and said something im- patiently about too much trouble with these push- cart men, and the warrant was correct and the case must go on. "But you must not put him in jail, Mr. Judge, — Your Honor, I mean." she said. "My father is Mr. Robert Calloway and he will make this all right. Some one may telephone him and he will say so if I ask." "Young woman," said the Judge sternly, "this Court ain't in the habit of being told what it must do. And it don't care who your father is. If you've got money to bail you can take the man, but he must appear one week from this day." With that he waved her over to another officer and she did what she was told and emptied her purse and es- caped from the Court with her rescued push-cart man and little Nicky. How they rushed Mr. Pevolosky back to the scene of the boy's dinner! Miss Calloway, because she knew some one would be worried about her, and Nicky, because he was anxious for his dinner. Sure enough, the Master of Ceremonies was look- ing anxiously out of the door when they reached it and Miss Calloway had to tell all in a minute, where she had been, and what she had done. The boys had been momentarily subdued by the "turkey and fixin's," but the Irrepressible called out as they entered the room, "W'ho's that jay? Has he come to dinner?" The Master of Ceremo- nies jumped on the platform and cried, "Hush, boys, it's little Nicky All Right's father, — and he would have gone to jail for somethine he wasn't to blame for, only Miss Calloway and Nicky saved him. Don't you want him to have some dinner?" "You bet," shouted the bovs, "give him a full plate." Father Pevolosky couldn't eat ; he was too shaken. But little Nicky made good time in over- taking the rest of the boys, almost catching up when the ice-cream came on. Thev had music and speaking with the dessert Pnd when that palled, the Irrepressible shouted. "Where's little Nicky? Get him to talk United States." Nicky felt the 29 Som'cnir Book — Providence Teachers' Ba::aar. friendliness and desired to respond, and jumping on the high platform he pulled out of his blouse the tiny American flag which they had given him at the Baron de Hirsch school and repeated the '"salute" taught him there, "I pledge allegiance to the flag. I give my heart and my hand to my country, — one country, one language and one flag." And then, remembering what the magic words had wrought for him and his this day (despite the one mysterious failure with the cross policeman and the grocer) — he added solemnly, like a benediction, — "All right." "Three cheers for Little Nicky All Right," shouted the Irrepressible and all the boys roared their hurrahs. And then the unexpected happened ! Father Pe- volosky, hearing his little son so cheered, felt with- in him something of the old power by w^hich he had swayed multitudes in the past, and springing upon the platform as though he were young again, he seized ]\Iiss Calloway's violin that lay on the piano and drew the bow across the strings with a master's touch. The boys were fairly awed as he made the instrtiment sing and dance and weep at his will ; and at last he struck into a lilting march, full of glory and strife and the hero's power and victory, and as he ended with a piercing note of triumph the boys went fairly wild. At the first pause in the tumultuous clapping the Irrepressible called out "Wliat's the matter with old Nicky?" and the rest responded, "He's all right, too." Fortimately at that moment the bugle sounded the notes that told the boys that the man from Keith's was at hand to lead them to that promised treat. And the hall was cleared in a trice. Miss Calloway and the Master of Ceremonies looked at one another, and she said, "To think of that man pushing about a hand-cart full of stale veg- etables ! You must get him a place in an orches- tra right away." And the Master of Ceremonies nodded his assent. They both looked at the man, now shrinking back in timid fear that he had been too bold to take the violin ; but when little Nicky ex- plained that his father had none and was so glad to play once more, ]Miss Calloway put it back in his hand and said : "At Thanksgiving time, like our Christmas and New Years and birthdays, we give presents, Mr. Pevolosky, and I want you to have this violin for your own. And it will not be a present, either, for you must pay me by playing on it many times." The man, too overcome to speak, looked at Nicky to say for him what his heart felt and touched the loved instrument once more in a soft strain of grati- tude. So that was what happened to little Nicky All Right, and to his father, on their first Thanksgiving in America. ^^^^^^iix^^-^^cM ACKNOWLEDGMENTS. The artistic cover of this book is by Mr. Theodore Hanford Pond, Principal of the Department of Dec- orative Design, at the Rhode Island School of Design. The thanks of the Association are due to Mr. A. S. Heaney, Principal of the Rhode Island Commer- cial School, for the valuable help he gave to the heads of committees, by duplicating typewritten copies of the circulars they sent abroad. The editors of the Souvenir Book feel that they speak for the entire teaching force of Providence when they express their deep appreciation of the great kindness of those writers, who gave of their time and talent to make our book a success. Their prominence in the communities in which they are placed, causes them to have countless demands upon their time : and yet, each of them responded to the request for a contribution, in the same kindly spirit of that one who wrote that she was "glad to have the opportunity to 'lend a hand.' " The Souvenir Book Committee for itself and in behalf of the Retirement Fund Association desire to express their appreciation of the kindness of Mrs. Kate Douglas Wiggin Riggs in permitting the use of "Mistress Mary's Prayer" from her story, " Marm Lisa," in the form of a booklet, and to Houghton, Mifflin & Co., her publishers for the special ar- rangement with them by which the booklets were sold for the benefit of the association fund. The association would also extend its thanks to the FroN'idence Journal Company, The Evening Tele- g'am and The News for their kindly nodces and editorials and for their further courtesy in per- mitting the association the use of their colums to extend the interest of all matters connected with their bazaar. 30 Souvenir Book — Providence Teachers' Bacaar.

Near these mines is the Utica nine, which yields more than a million dollars annually and is known to be the largest gold producer in the state. All these mines are on the "great mother lode of California. The Sultana properties have a combined length on the vein of over 1,000 feet or about 350 feet more than the Utica as stated by a representative of the "United States Investor" who recently visited the camp. A well=known mining engineer fir. B. F. Hand, speaking of the property of the Sultana Hining Company says, "There is not in my knowledge another mine in California that has produced better results within such a small compass and at so little depth ; the amount of ore available with the present hoisting and pumping facilities can be safely figured at 50,000 tons on an average of not less than $6.00 per ton." The shares of the Sultana can be bought today at $1.00, now offered to investors for the purpose of equipping the mines and reducing many thousands of tons of ore now in sight. The low capitalization, the large developments and the advanced condition of the enterprise are all features of importance to investors. Do not delay. The price will soon advance.

That supei'riuuits liair can be successtully and fiermanently removed roni the faces, necks and arms of ladies by the use of Electrolysis is now an established fact. Moles, Warts. Birth- marks, Port Wine marks, and all facial blemishes are also re- moved by the electric needle and without pain or scar. This is strictly a scientific operation and is endorsed by all physicians as the only known method by which the root of the hair can be permanently de- stroyed. Dr. Hates has per- formed this operation in hundreds of cases and always with such re- markable success that he can unhesitatingly assure a cure without regard to the severity of the case. In each instance every notice- able liair on the face will be permanently removed. Patients have come to Dr. Hates from all parts of New England and in each case perfect satisfaction has always been given. If patients do not desire to enter the Sanitarium for work of this kind they may be treated at the office or Dr. Bates will visit them at their homes or other places in the city. After reading this notice no lady has any excuse for allowing her face to be marred by obnoxious growths of hair or other facial blemishes. For terms of tieatment address : DR. W.

BECAUSE its management is conservative and has always been energetic and unremitting. 2. BECAUSE it has large holdings of rich mineral lands, nearly i.ooo acres in fee simple and the mineral rights of over 4,000 acres. 3. BECAUSE its deposits of copper ore are pronounced by competent experts suf- ficient to furnish continuous and profitable production for genera- tions to come. 4. BECAUSE the location of its properties is nearer to the great markets of the world by the cheapest transportations than any other copper properties in America. 5. BECAUSE 6. BECAUSE 7. BECAUSE 8. BECAUSE 9. BECAUSE 10. BECAUSE II its books, its properties and its developments are open to the inspec- tion of investors. it has a handsome cash balance, nearly i,oco.ooo shares of Treasury stock for sale and has no debts. its largest shareholders have invested their money in the purchase of its stock without hesitation after a careful, personal inspection of its properties. its stock can now be purchased at a price which will advance in the early future. copper is now admitted to be one of the most useful metals, the consumption of which, must increase for many years to come. the development of its mines and the completion of its reduction works are well advanced, thus heralding the day when the Colonial Copper Company will be a bullion producer and a dividend payer. Whoever buys these shares now, will gain large profits, not only by their increased value but also by the dividends they will secure PRICE LIST. 10 Shares, . = . = $15.00 25 " . = = = 37.50 100 " = = . = 150.00 000 " = = . . = 1500.00 A.
