Some time ago, three persons, away
below voting age, started Lyceum
for the benefit of our boys and girls
Concluding that it would need wiser
and older heads" to steer it, they intro
duced men and women. When the old
people got the reins in their hands they
promptly excluded boys and girls and
prevented the organization of one for
their benefit. Recently the men killed
the Lyceum to save it from inevitable
death. Now, the boys and girls are
perfecting a union of their own, from
which men and women are excluded
They meet in the Roller Rink on Mon
day evening. Doors will be open for
the admission Of the general public, on
payment of five cents, at Z o'clock sharp.
Their undertaking is in every way laud-
able and worthy the highest success,
which we cordially wish them.
