York fad for the winter is going to be
pr"g' essive conyersation. The limit Is
six tables. Four persons sit at each.
A daintilv decorated card bearing on

twelve questions, is laid on each table.
Four minutes discussion of each ques.

every question will have been discussed

ANA now having Aourished our war
club, we begin scolding by asking what
is the matter with Mechanicstown -: 1t
is eith~r Ietried or hypnotized, which?
1t was alive once upon a time % years ago.
Wake up, Rip Van Winkle, do some
thug say something. build something!
take your paper! read it help your ed

your opinion upon some matter, send
him in contribution don 60 to sleep;
If you haven any ideas write him that
much at least it will be a satisfaction
for han TO know you are even alive.
No wonder he gets disheartened, grows
haggard and pale The more wonder
that he doesn't like Elijah of old, sit
himself down and despair. Nov. o
Lord let me de, for my work has come
to naught." y"
If you can't do anything nobler, get
up a row about nothing. That will
convince the nelehborng towns that
you are alive. Do something to prove
that if Meohanicstown is one hundred

With our heading, it seems almost
unnecessary to state that our "Men and
Women" believe in the equality of sex
in home, church and State, and 1t is
partly for the advocacy Of just such
cranky ideas, that their column was
started so it would be incomplete with
no recognition of that issue.
We give space to the following signl.
ficant words of General Clarkson in a
speech before the Republican League
convention ut Buffalo,:
Thus it is true today that the father
has come to be the trustee of the vote Of
his family. The woman has appeared
IN American politics, and the home has
become the unit OF American politics.
Conservative people may scoif at it, old
fashioned men may dcride it, but the
power of the home Is going to be more
and more potential in American affairs
Very soon there will arise some great
woman, or association of women, who
will orgarize in this great republic u
political league that will become speed
lily one of the first class powers in po|it-
ical America
That is true prophecy. The Frances
Cleveland Influence Clubs, the Wom-
ans Republican Association Of u. S.,
the Peoples party aud the Prohibition
party women, the tull suffrage OF wom-
en- in Wyoming, MunlcIpal Suffrage for
women in Kansas, School Suffrage in
twenty-five states, all indicate the com.
ing OF women into politics-not to or
ganize new party, but to be sought
after by that one Of the ruling parties
sagaclous enough to see the value OF
courting its favor
Mr.. Sewal, used to say : Woman
Suffrage may come at any moment. A
very little thing will BRING it. The air
is full of it; all it needs is the match to
set it off.
When that time comes says the Wom.
ans Journal, it will not be as Gen.
Clarkson says 1T is now, that "the faith
er is the trastec of the family vote"
Each woman will have her vote as each
,nan has his, and that will be IN accord
ance with the principles of "the consent
of the governed

Senator Stanford's wealth is figured
at thirty million dollars. According
to his own estimate, it will be trebled
in three years. He has made it all and
his lite is approaching the end Of Its
activity. When asked by reporter,
the question Does wealth give happi
ness" he replied mo. Great wealth
involves immense care. 1t is care that
kills If wealth is ,ntelligently used,
there may come certain happiness from
its bestowal.
Then why this incessant rush after
wealth ?" asked the interviewer.

airy stimulus to labor. Afterwards men

"Why are successful Americans SCI

replied: .
"Activity has become habit. They
are accustomed to living faster than

To eur Readers.

With this issue of THE CLARION, we
begin the publication Of a weekly col
ump devoted to the interests OF men
and women. We come with no pre-
tence of honors conferred or contribu-
tions solicited. On the contrary, we
asked for space that we might be allow
ed to speak on all matters of local or
general interest as occasion warrants
and conscience dictates. If our head
ing leads you to expect weekly budget
of gossip, 1t is misleading, as nothing is
farther from our thought. Our column
is rather intended for a running com =
ment on people and happenings the
world over. Cosmopolitan in our sym
pathles, there is not WRONG in the re-
hottest earth that does not arouse oui
Indignation, not a heroic deed that does
not excite our admiration.
So Men and Women" intends TO
strike here and there as occasion may
warrant, commencing every good deed,
every truthful utterance and denonn
cling every wrong. every injustice, both
at home and abroad. There are wrongs
to he rlghted everywhere, and our local
community is not exempt; and it it ls
necessary once in while. to throw a
miniature bombshell We feel equal to
the emergency.
Nor does our title intend to exclude
the children for We regard them as
men and women in embryo, and beIlev,
ing firmly in their rights Men and
Women hopes as OCCASION demands, to
strike the little folks.
With this general outline of its aims,
"Men and Women" asks the sympathy,
encouragement and moral support of its
readers. If we make mistakes, if We
do injustice to any person or party, we
are open to correction I'm Iove). IT,
on the other hand, we say good thing,
don't be chary Of your appreciation.
Thus with good will toward all, malice
to none. we greet you.

THE HoRsE2fAN DREW REIN BESIDE HIM.
With Characteristic ardor, George showed
his devotion, and even spoke TO his mother
about proposing 70 Dora, but as she knew
the secret Of Frank, her firstborn, she pre-
vailed on him to wait for year or two, or
until his foster sister had had time to see
with matUrer judgment the inclinations Of
her own heart.
'tThere'u be trouble between them two
boys some day on account Of that GIRL"
is what the older and more observant
neighbour said, but the trouble came in
another way.
Frank voted for Douglas-it was his first
,vote-tn 1880. and If George had bad the
same right no would have exercised il in
the same way.
Then came secession and the battles in
1861, and on the north bank Of the Ohio
men could be seen drilling, while every
hour steamers sped mp or down the river
crowded with blue clad men. The con-
servatives Of Kentucky advised neutrality,
but the governor, while seeming TO fall ia
with this idea, was secretly helping the
cause Of the Confederacy; and the young
men. Disguised with the cowardly attitude
Of the state, shouldered their rifles and
rode south TO join Zollicoffer and john
ston, or made their way across the Ohio
and took service under the banner that

Here is good illustration of the fact
that the boys didn't put off their kind
ly human nature when they put on Uncle
Sans warlil6e blue:
One evening toward the close of the war,
while Union soldiers lay in camp on a hill
side near the Staunton river, Virginia, the
cry of Halt who goes there?" from a SEN
tinel startled every lounger to his feet, and
several of the more curious ran TO the
guard line to find out what the trouble
was. A minute later all knew that the
night visitor who had been challenged was
no enemy. a little girl about ten years of
age, holding white kitten in her arms,
came forward into the light of the fires,
conducted by two soldiers who had told the
guard to pass her in, and who looked as
proud as if they were escorting a queen.
The whole regiment Notwithstanding
the colonel himself-to look at the child
and hear her tell her story. A very short
story it was, scarcely a paragraph, but
there was matter enough in it for a full
chapter. She lived near by with her father,
who was sick and poor, and they were

IN America has SO many attractions for the

the central point from which all the or
dcrs for putting down the great rebellion
issued, and many of the most important
battles were fought within a short distance
of the capital. Probably one-half OF all
the soldiers enlisted in the Union army
either campcd in the vicinity or at some
time passed through it's wide streets.
On the 23d day of May, 1865, the Army OF

Meade, and the day following the portion
Of the western army that had marched
from Atlanta 20 the sea, commanded by
General Sherman, not less than 10000

of Washington. Twenty years have

TO be the greatest gathering of the soldiers
