WOMEN ADOPT A BOY.
LIQUID VOICES OF THE SOUTH
A writer in the Rome Tribune,
speaking of "the soft, low voice,
that most excellent thing in wo
man,” says: “We have heard
voices of Savannah and Brunswick
ladies that were as soothing and
delightful to the ear as we imag
ine those of angels would be.
Travel the broad world over and
you will never hear voices so sweet
and musical as those on the Geor
gia and South Carolina coasts.”
F. Hopkinson Smith, in Scrib
ner’s for September, amplifies the
same thought. He met an elderly
lady from the South at the Nash
ville exposition. After describing
her work and her appearance, he

For The Cracker.
The old church bell, as it swung
backward and forward in the
crazy, tottering steeple and sent
its deep toned voice echoing and'
re-echoing throughout the moun
tains and vales caused me to look
up from my dusty books and pam
pers and pause and retrospect.
For those searching, penetrating,
sometimes solemn, sometimes
harsh tones crept way down tcT
the corners of my room and into
the innermost recesses of my
heart; and bounding back, threw
their shadows on the wall. Back
into the almost forgotten past
went my memory and painted
among those “shadows” the
scenes so dear in days of “Auld
Lang Syne.”
In the first “shadow” I saw my
self—a little thoughtless child—
walking beside my mother in the
church yard, and the tones of the
old bell sending out its invitations
to “come, come, come,” and I with
childish innocence was doing what
to me was then a considered duty
—and I was pleased.
I saw the sober.

ANOTHER KLONDIKE,
S : beria is coming to the front

A recent number of the United
States consular reports contains
an interesting description of the
gold fields in Siberia. It is stated
on the authority of a distinguished
French engineer that nowhere else
in the world are there such vast
stores of gold and spread over so
large a surface. Eastern Siberia
at present produces bet ween 135,-
000.000 and 150.000.000 of gold
—$27,000,000 to $80.000,000—

which is clandestinely «xpurted.

a Connecticut woman who had allowed
her property to be sold for taxes as a
protest against taxation without repre
sentation. Mr. Lawrence wrote:
Mv Deab Madam—Your action will be high

Since those cruel davs there had

The greater part of Siberia was
until a comparatively recent period
regarded as a barren waste. Re
cent investigations, though pa r -
tial, have shown that this is one
of the richest regions in the world
both in the quantity and variety
of its mineral stores. Tne devel
opment of this natural wealth is
sure to follow fast upon the con
struction of the Trans-Siberian
railway. Russia knew what she
was about when she undertook
this great scheme, and it will
probably prove a very valuable
investment from a strictly finan
cial point of view, though the main
object of its construction was to
strengthen Russia’s scheme for
increased power in the east.

be attended with the dangers and
hardships which are found in

Orange, Woman’s Club.
The Woman’s club of Orange, N. J.,
held a most interesting session on March
24, when its annual election occurred.
This marked the quarter century of the
club’s existence: It is one of the oldest
clubs for women in the country. There
were but four others in existence at the
rime of its founding. It organized with
15 members; now it has a membership
| of 800 and a long waiting list. The club
has become a department club, and the
: recording secretary, Mrs. Stanley, read
a brief review of the year’s work, which
was followed by reports from, the chair
men of each department. Each depart-'
ment in turn furnishes the club pro
gramme for general meetings. The de-:
partment of education furnished a pro
gramme upon coeducation, also one up
on the education of the Indians.
The election of officers for the coming
year gave the presidency to Mrs. Cush
man, who has filled the place in a most
able manner during the, last'year. ' The
other officers were re-elected with the
exception of Mrs. Stanley; who was not J
eligible for recording secretary, having
held the place for the limit allowed by
the club.
