DR.. Sperry's Lecture,

DR.. Lyman B. Sperry delighted an
audience well filling Association hall
last evening with his lecture ON
'.Gumption and Grit" The lecture
was the third in the Young Mems
Christian association series. DR..
Sperry mastered his subject in a
convincing yet entertai ming manner.
He illustrated what could be accom-
plished through gumption and grit.
which essentials were necessary
in that they mean knowledge and
nerve to the individual desiring to
acquit himself as creditably in any
walk OF life as his brother in this age
of hustle and hustle. But DR.. Sperry
commended that these traits accounted
for nought without the character
which all must possess to honorably
succeed in any undertaking. The
speaker referred to the many posi-.
bilities lying before the young man
or woman, but said to conquer them
brain work and perseverance we're
the principal requisites. His dis
course was much enjoyed.

Deputy Sheriff Ransom says
clothes-line robbers are operating in
his neighborhood. The other eve-
ming Mrs. Ransom happened in the
back yard of their residence at 1420
Fourth avenue shortly after O'Clock
and was surprised on discovering
two colored women invoicing the
white goods hanging out to dry.
The intruders lodged behind the
woodshed on seeing Mrs. Ransom,
who also became frightened and re-
turned hastily to the house. the
colored pair had plenty of nerve and
remained. evidently thinking that
they had not been discovered and
intended carrying out their job when
the coast was again clear. Presently
Mrs. Ransom appeared in the yard in
time to see their chaiky eyes spark
ling in the moonlight as they peered
around the woodshed corner. When
she started toward them they beat a
hesty retreat up the alleyway. No
clothes were stolen and whether any
other people are minus in that
neighborhood the police have not
been informed.
