A king couldn’t | | have. had it better than Blind Walter— | rest, comfort, kindness and everything he wonted to eat from sandwiches to ice cream and lemonade. Walter was only one of about i) who spent the day out at the park. They got | an early start so as to stay just as lons | as possible. It was but little after ¥ | o'clock in the morning when nine street cars arrived at Twelfth and Howard | sireets where the crowd was walting. | These cars were furnished free by the | Omaha & Council Bluffs Street Rallway company. Miss McGee was there with many vol- unteer assistants, including Mrs. (ieorge Toane, Charles F. Robel, Tom Iobel, ‘ohn Robel, Girace Robel and H. J. Stir- x: But when the crowd saw those the whole police force couldn’t have held them back. It looked llke storming | the trenches over in Burope. None of | those kiddnes was taking a chance on getting left out of the picnic, not after he had talked about it and dreamed about it for weeks. And Such a Nolse. And away went the cars, thé boys whistling and the girls shouting, little cripples holding thelr crutches and smil- “Ifke baskets of chips on the way a bontire.” Such & noise! My, it sounded like a uvenile riot on wheels. But it was the kind of riot you read about, “a riot of fun,” “a riot of joy.” And 'the police- men along the route didn't stop the rot. They just smiled. And all the people that saw the nine cars gliding along smiled, and everybody was glad that the folks were off for a good time. Miller park! Nobody needed to be told. The conductors nearly had heart failure keeping the kids from jumping off before the cars stopped. And then away scam- pered & thousand feet over the grass. Some of the boys had been there before and they assumed afrs of ' great im- portance, leading thelr comrades straight b4 to the lake, where, in & Jiffy, they were in the water. Are Enjoying the Outing. The girls were soon absorbed in the delights of “Ring Around a Rosy” and other girl games. The small bables were rolling in bliss on the grass, while their tired mothers just sat and enjoyed per- feet rest and the good fresh alr and the happiness of their little ones. A committes of small boys guided Blind Walter around the park and ex- plained everything to him. He had about fitty pairs of sharp eves to see things for him, and fifty babbling tongues to explain the beauties of the park. Then came ‘“‘the eats,” and the way the sandwiches and potato salad and dings disappeared was a caution. And tfhe ice cream! It surely didn't have a hance to melt. Several base ball games were hotly contested, particularly that between the “M. Bdosters” and “King Arthur's Boy: Epworth Leaguers Break Camp Monday ' The Omaha District Epworth League Mgtitute at Ralston, which opened Mon- i day, will close Sunday evening with the devotional services, which will be at- tended by a number ¢f Methodists of this city and vicinity, besides the Bp- worthians who have been in camp. Most of the Methodist churches in the city will hold no services Sunday evening, giving their congregations an oppor- tunity of visiting the institute on the closing evening. On Saturday night and Sunday morn- Ing the meetings will be addressed by Rev. W. F. Bheridan, Chicago, general secretary of the Epworth league. The institute, it is asserted, has been | a success.
