The adjourned meeting of the Lit erary society WAS held Monday evening. Miss Bragg read very interesting selection describing an interview of a party of Americans with MT Gladstone at an English rural inn. The debate on the resolution that rotation in office oonduces to the best results in 8 gover- ment like ours" was sharply contested and created at times much amusement. The result was victory for the dispu. tants on the negative side. Rev O. D. Milliken acted as critic and enlivened his useful suggestions to debaters with flashes of wit and humor. A great many people make mistake in not at tending these meetings. ..-

costing one of the young men who are

attempts to haul down the American

The clerk began to search for the
book, running over shelves of historical
volumes, cropping in dusty corners, and
turning over pages of war histories
that would be likely to contain a copy
of the order. Finally. after spending
half an hour in unavailing search, he
said to Mr.. Grady:
