A woRKiNG GIRLS CLUE.

The girls employed in cotton fac
tory at Waltham, Mass, have organ
lied a working girls club, the first to
be organized by the girls themselves.
1t is the custom in many of the North
crn and Eastern states, especially in
the manufacturing districts, for the
adde's interested in these associations
to go out in the factory towns in the
outlying districts and TO organize clubs
among the factory girls. This par
ticular Waltham factory must have
been passed by, and the girls have or
gained a club among themselves.
Some one girl started the talk about a
club, few others gladly accepted the
idea, and they drummed up their
friends among the girls until twenty
were gathered together as members of
the new club, which they have chris
tened the "Rivcrview Cub" The
initiation fee has been fixed at twenty
five cents, the monthly dues the same.
The girls have engaged club room
at a rental of ten dollars a month.
New members will be brought in, and
the rooms furnished and bcautficd by
contributions from the girls until the
clubs finances will warrant an outlay
for such purposes. r New Orleans

rule of the mansion is that while one

attended one of these dinners and talked
without break through the whole re-
past. Toward the end of the dinner a
guest was heard to commence a SEN

After they had left the table she told
the extinguished man that he might

Breaking it GENTLY.

In the province of Holstein, noted
for its superior breed of cattle, the
country people are not only very thrifty
but exceedingly fond of their cows, as
may be gathered from the following
characteristic story.
Farmer Jan was walking sadly down

"Why so sad, Farmer JAM" said the
pastor.
"Ah, | have a very sad errand,
