The Woman’s Club Held
Final Meeting of Year
The Woman's Club held its final
meeting of the year at the home of
Mrs. E. A. Russell, Wednesday after
noon. There was no business of
importance except to pay a few
small bills and receive a few delin
quent dues. The executive board
will begin at once to plan the work
for next year,and it is imperative
that all who intend to renew their
membership do so at once.
The study course of last year was
much enjoyed by those who followed
it, and the special entertainments
provided by the club at different
times were much enjoyed.
Many thanks are due the presi
dent for her faithful efforts in behalf
of the club for the past two years,
and a unanimous vote of thanks
was given Mrs. Russell for the gen
erous use of her home for the club
meetings the past year.
At the close of the meeting the
club adjourned to the Blue and Gray
Park where they were met by nearly
eighty little folks who enjoyed the
games and refreshments provided.
The “Children's Fete” closed the
program for the year. Much has
been accomplished in the way of
civic work, and the "Rest Room,”
which is now ready for use will be a
great convenience to those spending
a few hours in town who do not care
to go to a hotel.
The first Wednesday in October
the new officers will assume charge
of the meetings.
The following commiitees have
been selected by the Prsident for
the year 1912-13. The committee

Sea Burial. i
Ley him not in the earth with whom
earth
Has dealt so harshly; there no peace
found,
Where tree-roots blindly pushing in the
ground
Would clasp his coffin in their moving
girth;
Or where the soil, in labor at the birth
Of some fierce city, would molest the
mound
Of his low tenement, or muffled sound
Of tunneling mole trouble the dreamless
dearth
Of sleep eternal. Rather lay him deep
In that low grave undigged of any spade,
—Where never sable mourner comes to
weep
And tend with pious hand the flowers
that fade,—
'*he many-peopled grave down in the
free
Untrodden cemeteries of the sea. ¢
—Martin D. Armstrong, in the Atlantic.

And Then You Shall Know.
What does it matter to you and to me
That the earth is fair and that life is
free,
That things are just as they ought to be,
If we know it not?
What do we care that the rising sun
Tllumines our blessings one by one,
Revealing the wonderful work to be done,
If we see it not?
Hdw can we know of :the glory of God,
Of His loving touch from the star to the
sod,
Of His gracious power which lightens
the rod,
If we are asleep?
Ay, children of ages and child of today
Awaken to truth; let it show you the way
To power, to health and to God’s love
alway,
And then vou shall know.
—Grace M. Brown in Nautilus.
The Discouraged Brother.
You say the world is old and cold, that
men seek riches blindly; g
You say their only god is gold, that not a
heart beats kindly;
You say that greed is everywhere, that
goodness is forsaken;
That hope is gone and honor dead,
That Virtue, scoffed at, hangs her head,
That all is wicked and unfair—but, broth
er, you're mistaken.
You say the world grows worse and
. . worse, that clouds are forming o'er
us;
That on us God has put a curse, that
terror lies before us;
You say that faith is shatéered by the
sinners who pursue it;
You sit and sing a doleful song,
But I repeat that you are wrong,
For I have work to do and I possess the
strength to do it.
—B. E. Kiser in Chicago Record-Herald.
Music.
In childhod’'s days so rosy
Within the farmhouse prosy,
The caves hung low and cosy.
Of simple life a proof.
I loved to hear the batter, :
I loved to bear the chatter,
I loved to hear the patter
Of rain upon the roof.
The simple life may moulder,
Luxurious and older
I listen to them bolder
Perform their light massage;
I love to hear the spatter,
I love to hear the clatter,
I love to hear the matter
Of rain on the garage.
—McLaughlin Wilson in New York Sun.
The War Hawk.
Let earth born armies crawl below
And navies swim the deep,
Above them in the boundless blue
From cloud to cloud I sweep.
The wind is harnessed to my planes,
My lighthouse is the sun,
I soar and circle out of reach
Of hostile sword or gun.
My freight it is the deadly bomb,
I drop it as I go,
At will destroying whole brigades
Or squadrons of the foe.
I swoop and smite the helpless world
That far beneath me swings,
And bind the bleeding doves of peace
In triumph to my wings. g
—Minna Irving in New York Sun.

Modest Ambition.
I do not eare for wealth and fame,
Particularly fame,
1 wouldn’t give a fig to have
A great and honored name.
T'm rich enough if I but have
A luxury or two
And leisure time enough to de
The things I like to do.
Let others have the glory and
The joys of swollen wealth;
I'm satisfied if I but have
Enough, and time and health.
Others may tread ambition’s path
If it delights them to;
T only want a chance to do
.The things I like to do.
A
fmperial Mother!
Imperial Mother, from whose breasts
We drank as babes the pride whereby¥
We question ev’'n thine own behests,
And judge thee with no flinching eyei=
Oft slow to hear when thou dost eall,
Oft vext with a divided will,
When once a rival seeks thy fall, ;
We are thy soms and daughters stiil
The love that halts, the faith that veers,
Are then deep sunk as in the sea;
The sea where thou must brook no peers,
And halve with none thy sovereignty.
—William Watson.

“f Saw Eternity.”
I saw Eternity the other night
Like a great ring of pure and endless
light,
All calm, as it was bright—
And round beneath it Time, in hours,
days, years,
Driven by the spheres
Like a_ vast shadow moved; in which
the world
And all her train were hurled.
—H. Vaughan.

The Unseen Bridge.
There is a bridge whereof the span
Is rooted in the heart of man
And reaches, without pile or rod,
Unto the great white throne of God.
Its traffic is in human sighs
Fervently wafted to the skies;
'Tis the one pathway from Despalir
And it is called the bridge of prayer.
e,
Grudge Not the Throe.
Then, welcome each rebuff
That turns earth’s smoothness rough,
Each sting that bids nor sit nor stand,
but go!
Be our joys three parts pain!
Strive, and hold cheap the strain;
Learn, nor account the pang;
Dare, never grudge the throe.
~—Robert Browning.

FEMININE PHILOSOPHY
Men have crowed too loud and too
long.—Mrs, MacDougall.
The enemies of the new woman will
goon find themselves in the scrap bas
ket.—Gertrude Atherton. .
The healthy thing about suffragettes
is that they don’t care whether men
approve of them or not.—Mrs. Pank
hurst.
Nothing amuses a man more than a
woman's method of shopping. And
probably the converse holds good.—
M. Rittenburg.
The marriage veil that a mother
wraps round a beloved child becomes
a symbol of the shroud that is to fold
her from her.—Annie Sedgwick.
Mr. Darling often said stocks were
up and shares were down in a way
that would have made any woman re
spect him.—“ Peter and Wendy.” (J. M.
Barrie.) ‘
Wendy was one of the kind that
likes to grow up. In the end she
grew up of her own free will a day
quicker than other girls.—“ Peter and
Wendy.” (J. M. Barrie.)
At Sunday School.—Teacher—*“De
fine a friend to me.” Little girl—
“ Someone what knows yer, and still
likes yer. . .’—(Said to my sister, &
Sister of Mercy.)—Exchange.
Mrs. Darling, with her nice, cool
hands, tied his tie for him. . . Some
men would have resented her being
able to do it so easily, but Mr. Darling
was far too fine a nature for that.—
“Peter and Wendy.” (J. M. Barrie.)
RAM’S HORN BROWN.
Trials are not sent to crush us, but
to lift us.
The wider the Bible is opened the
harder it strikes at sin.
God makes some men strong in or
der that they may help the weak.
The young man who has no fixed
purpose in life will soon be “fixed.”
:Whether truth is handsome or not
depends upon who looks into its face.
You can find a dozen honest men to
where you can find one contented one.
You can generally tell how much
people love the lord by the company
they keep.
A rich man may give the lord tod
little, but a poor one can not give him
too much.
Every man wrongs the world who
does not do what he can for the public
good while he is in it. : :
It is not what we have, but what we
are doing with it that sometimes
makes the recording angel lay down
his pen and think.
One great difference between a wise
man and a fool is that the wise man
does his thinking today, while the fool
puts his off until day after tomorrow.

‘While all other articles of diet cost
a great deal more in London now than
they did in 1900, yet rice and pota
toes are a great deal cheaper than
they were then.

A girl of beauty is a joy forever. |
There is no pipe like an old pipe.
What is one loan without another’'s?
A girl by any other name would be
as sweet.
A little spooning now and then is
relished by the courting men.
