Pomeroy & Stewart depart ment store went to work this morning with the satisfaction of knowing that they staged one of the most successful picnics and outings held at Hershey Park In a long time. Hundreds of guests acoompanied the picnickers. Wholly oblivious to the hot sun and warm air, sedate buyers, department managers and old members of the firm frolicked with the caahboys and sales -1 girls in a successful effort to keep things moving. Everyone agreed after ward that things did hum. The start was made from this city «ct 1.10 o'clock yesterday afternoon on ■board a special train. The return trip ■was made on the same special, so that It can truthfully be said that there ' was something doing every minute from the time they left the store and 'returned-to their homes late last night. Some Band, That The Periwinkle band, grotesquely attired —for hot weather—was easily the feature of the occasion. With per spiration streaming from under their wigs and false faces the musicians spread themselves to the limit and i produced classical and ragtime music that could be distinguished from 'boiler factory noise without a whole lot of trouble. Last evening it played a concert at 8 o'clock. This was the program Overture, "Gotterdamerung," by Gosh; "march of the Periwinkles." Ou Lawasaw; "Fudge in A Major," Huf perdinck; duet, "A Midwinter Night mare," Pechneikebluchen, double-bar reled hornpipe and four-cylinder bas soon; descriptive fantasia. "Trials and Troubles of an Army Worm" (Synop ; sis: The scene opens on a cold sum mer night. (No one knew it was open.) The golden sun has sunk into the sink. Leßoy, the Hero, has just retired, when out from the dark a voice is heard, exclaiming in accents loud and dreary, "Oui! Oui: Someone has turned off the gas." The Owl and Wunkus are.heard in the distance. Morning breaks, the little Gilly-lou Birds are heard at their breakfast, the hen chirps as she lays her cackle berry, the cows tune up their horns and play a cheerful ditty as they wend their way over the distant hills. But alas! somebody cut the grass and the poor A. W. has nothing to do but crawl home.); grand finale, "The Crowding of the Jitney," by Ford. Costumes, wigs and instruments not made in Germany. Boys Clean Up Their Elders As soon as the special pulled Into Hershey the cashboys and buyers plied off, hurriedly crawled into baseball and bathing suits and went after each other in an exciting game of baseball. The boys put It over their elders' by the score of 8 to 6 in a five-inning game and were given watermelons as prizes. For his speed In disposing of his Earl Shambaugh won a dozen handkerchiefs. He was not timed, but disinterested observers say he smashed all past records and established one that will stand for all time. "Midget'' Eby and Joe Fean starred for the boys. William Bennethum was the mainstay of the buyers' team and nearly played himself out covering up the errors of Zugg Spangler and Mil ler. The cashboys' Une-up Included such stars as Eby, Fean, Moser, Sham baugh, Blosser, Charles. Rodgers, Fornwald and Bird. The buyers were English, Spangler, Bickel, Bennethum, Harvey, Zugg, Cockran, Miller and Busbey. Prize Winners Immediately after the game the various sport events were started.

Hah: Eats! < Then after the various contestants floundered and splashed around in the blj swimming pool supper was served by the Hershey Park management. 1 The biggest eater, according to the program* was given a prize of a preat headache. After Chester R. Kirk had livened things up with some clever im personations a huge tug-of-war was started. Twenty men lined up on each side and after digging up the earth and starting the perspiration rolling again the side under Oscar Bickel was given a box of cigars. John Bushey's Bide was defeated. The first prize of a two-pound box of chocolates in the 15-mtnute dancing contest was won by Zuella Reed and Earl Felndt; second, one pound of chocolates, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Jones.

UK TO MANAGE WITH SSfOfiTIUSSEMI Pretty Miss Finn Won't Fuss With Court Over Few Hundred She Wanted For "Some Things" Because Judge yyjJjx }[l \ Henry will allow I—niony for a 'wed trousseau pret ty 19-year old Miss Marian Finn isn't I going to fuss with I'd BilrjaHHfwH the court about it, l*n*nfflfel 80 there she's 1 positive the sum won't nearly reach —but she'll try to manage. Miss Finn's inheritance amounts to about S9OO. She's to be married in the near future and she still needs a few things. So she's asked the court for S4OO. In judicial, but emphatic language Judge Henry, silting special ly for the Dauphin county court, just couldn't see that. That a pretty girl's —ah—v/edding things cost money. Judge Henry conceded. But to spend I S4OO for them! In equally emphatic I but still judicial language Judge j Henry intimated that he is from 'way up in the interior of Missouri. He cut I the sum in half. j Attorney Victor Braadock, counsel for Miss Finn pointed out that giris wedding things are most awfully cost ly and that he would have a statement ! prepared showing the court just what ' each —ah —article cost. To-day Mr. Braddoek said this will not be done. His pretty client ■will not argue further about the court's ruling. If some mere men folks just WILL be mean, why—let 'em. She'll take the S2OO. •John A. .tacobf* Registrar. John A. Jacobs, 28 North Summit street, has i been appointed registrar for the third precinct of the Ninth ward to succeed A. U. Zeiders. OPEN VOLCANOES WITH CAVES Sailing across the Bay of Naples, past the spot where the notable city of the present day is situated, a place which was then comparatively insig nificant, our travelers camo to Puteoli. or Pozzuolt. as it is now called, at present a decadent suburb of Naples. This miserable and dirty town of some 16,000 inhabitants, as it now is, is connected by trolley and steam rail way with Naples, and is often visited by the modern tourist who wishes to see the remains of the ancient temples and amphitheater and the mighty mole, which still tell of the ancient i glories of Puteoli. j Near by, too. is the volcanic field of Solfatara, not a mountain, "but a flat : plain, the crater of a low volcano, into which one can thrust his cane in many places and find smoke and sulphurous vapor issuing from the hole as he with draws it. Probably there are few more dreary or disreputable places in Italy than this modern suburb of Naples. It has not the ragged plcturesqueness which somewhat redeems the worst slums of Naples, but is a squalid, un wholesome town of the worst tyne.— The Chi-istiau Herald. ON' THE REVERSE SIDE OF . DUTIES 1 On the reverse side of evepy duty may be found a corresponding gift of grace. Every call of the' Lord has its complement in spiritual equipment. Every commandment is an inverted promise. All the demands of our God may be interpreted the terms of His love. The measure of the one Is the revcaler of the other. A great calling means an equal bounty. If his commandment is exceeding broad It is because His love is exceeding deep. "As thy day so shall thy strength be." Reckon the hardness of the mission as the index of the endowment. Turn the dutiea round and think of them as the invitations of grace. Is there a steep hill before me? Then what a spring there must be! Is there hard t ship before me? Then what inti macies of divlno frlendshp must be calling me? Is it to be a long, long road? Then what brooks I shall And 1 by the way!—J. H. Jowett, D. D., in the Christian Herald.
