An Amusing Experience Meeting held
Last Night.
The Women's Christian Temperance
Union some time ago hit upon novel
plan for raising funds for the state and
local societies. 1t was decided that
each member should contribute 81 TO
the fund, the money to be earned.
Last night an experience meeting was
held at the residence of Mrs. Schotield,
No. 115 Fifteenth street, and each
member told how her dollar had been
earned. Some of the methods of earn
ing the money were quite amusing.
One lady got dollar for whitewashing,
another for sewing, third for keeping
quiet for certain time, and still an
other for being q real nice old maid"
When all had related :heir export
ences, Dr. Harriet Jones, the president,
gave an interesting talk.
