window making faces at him. He could
not resist the temptation to hit the fellow
with Il SNOWFALL. The window was open
and the SNOWFALL went through into the
school room.
Then it was Conly's turn. He said a big
numbering fellow made signs by bringing
the fingers of his right hand at an angle
with his nose. and he fired bunch of
snow after him, just TO show his disap-

A Device which VIII lie Valuable &c
shippers of Farm Products.

]. G. Meem of this city has patented an
improved portable chicken COOP, which
will be very handy in transporting fowls
from one place TO another, AT glance
one would suppose the device to be an or
binary wire cage; that is wire stretched
on light frame work. Il is so made, how
ever, that it can all be taken apart and in
the return shipment will take up but little
more space than the bottom oil The coop
itself. The cage can be put together iii
very short order and is as solid fer hand
ling about as II it were not intended to be
taken apart.
Mr.. Meem says the same device can be
used as well for tine transportation of
fruits and other farm products He is now
negotiating with a manufacturer to take
the patent in hand and put the coop on the
market

LADr SON ERsEr HERE.
She Addresses the Club Members and
W. C. 4. U. Unions at the New-Century

W. C. I. U. Unions at the New-Century
Club.
Thursday afternoon Lady Henry Somer-
set, the great advocate of temperance, was
escorted to the stage in the New-Century
Club auditorium by Miss MargaretS 5, Hilles
and Mrs. Abbie w, Miller amid the clap
ping OF hands and the waving of handker-
chiefs of an enthusiastic audience. Miss
Willard, who was expected to be present,
was detained in Philadelphia and her
place was voluntarily taken by Lady
Somerset In her preliminary remarks
Lady Somerset regretted her inability to
meet her engagement here last Monday
night. She also spoke of the great good
done by the woman's club movement.
Different woman's movements, municipal
reform, woman suffrage and social ques-
tions were then discussed.
The fanatics of to.day's reform she said
are to-moTrows heroes. To-day the pages
of history are filled with the names of men
who were called fanatics. They are called
heroes. The same will be the future of
the temperance cause. That which is
holding down the laburing classes is strong
drink. Temperance is not the only ques-
ton. Look at the human beings forced to
live in dens and made to labor in sweat
shops. The home should be made more
homelike. There should no longer be seen
women with pale faces caused by everlast-
ing labor. Only when we get the deep
sense of sisterhood shall we receive the
divine enthusiasm. Sn long as we sit con
tented while human beings are star wing
and the saloon door is open, SO long we
have not fulfilled our obligations. Another
question is that of social purity. Man
should be made pure. When marriage
is no longer u profession for women, then
it will be placed ON a higher level Man
should be held in deep regard, but man in
the past has not held such a high regard
for women as we want. Persons have
looked out and believed that there was
another class of women made for the
| pleasure OF man. So long as such women
are believed to be necessity they have nc
right to be called degraded.
