Another w. C. I. u. Surprise.


February 18th was red letter day
to the aged white ribboner, Mrs. VIM.
Mussey, the eldest of the clan. The
elements were out in one of the wild
est flurrys of the season, but not in
force enough to hinder fifteen warm
hearted sisters from gathering at the
pleasant home of Mrs. G. ID. Parker.
The balmy atmosphere Of her lovely
parlors caused all within to forget the
wildness of the storm, and only
casual glance from the window re-
vealed the fast drifting snow.
After a pleasant hour of social chat,
Mrs. w. p. Marshal in the following
words presented the dear old mother
a beautifully cushioned, white ribbon
bedecked rocking chair:
don't intend to make a speech,
Because can't-a very good reason.
wish might such glory reach,
and say the words that are in season;
only mean TO voice the rest,
To express our love and p leasure.
And Of my thought to make the most
give this in a Thyming measure.
The brightest thoughts we cherish most
Are on times in the utterance lost,
And TINS Is why we often keep
A golden Silence. full and deep.
Eighty Eight long years.-how time glides by,
How far away seems the land,
When sunny Hope and merry youth
stood lovingly hand in hand;
Some flowers are dead that strewed life's way
And some are poisoning sweetly to-day.
The poisoning flower of re-
mbrance brings US together to-day,
Love for the dear old mother who has
unwearingly kept step with us as we
have tried through many discourage
ments to sow the good seeds of
ter rance. How many times her
presence at our meetings has been an
inspiration let the heart of each one
of us witness. And tho we do not
see great results from our work, we
may take courage in remembering
the words of Whittier:
"Ours is the seed-time; God alone
BeholdS the end of what is sown;
Beyond our vision, weak and dim.
The harvest-tme is hid with him."
Then, let us toll on, The work we leave be-
Though incomplete. Gods hand will YET
Ans use in some way-and hope the Jews
will End us
In heaven above, and sweeten endless calm.
My Dear old Friend, IL behalf Of
the Union, of which you are a loved
and valued member, / present you
this chair, with it come many loving
thoughts. May it prove a comfort to
you, and may the cushions prove as
soft as are the hearts of the givers
toward you.
1t is not often one can voice the
presentation and the response as she
so efficiently did, but the wording was
most apt, for as she seated the sister
in the easy Chair the white face
quiyered, and only as each pre- ssed
upon her their congratulations, did
she utter her thanks, while another
re-read the quotation from Mrs.
Marshal's words
The brightest thoughts we cherish most
Are Oftlmes in the utterance, lost,
And this Is why we often keep
golden silence, full and deep"
Another surprise came in the form
of a dainty lunch prepared by loving
hands.
The afternoon will mark a pleasant
spot amidst the memories carried
over the mountains by one of the
old members of this band.

an expression of presidential
preferences was taken at our city
caucus last Saturday and resulted in
10 to l for Mckinley, the one dis
senter being for Reed. At the county
convention a similar expression re-
suited in 80 for Mckinley and 3 for
Reed. This is very likely an indica-
tion of the true sentiment OF this and
adjoining counties. And still there is
being an effort put forth TO send to
the St. Louis convention delegate
at large from this part of the state
whose first choice is Allison, but who
says that he will vote for Nc Kinley if
instructed. Better send some one
who needs no construction, but instruct
if there be any question.

The Superintendent of the Public
Schools, taking into consideration
the fact that the 22d of February was
the birthday Of George Washington,
concluded that it could not be more
fittingly celebrated than by calling
the salient features of the history of
the Father of his Country to the con-
temptation of the pupils. The men,
bers of the Grand Army Post were
present Friday afternoon TO give
fitting emphasis to the patriotic
occasion. A very interesting and in
structive program was rendered,
consisting of national songs, America,
The Star Spanglod Banner, and The
Red White and Blue; essays and recita-
tions by members of the High Scnool.
The essays showed that the pupils
had read considerable along the lines
of the earlier history Of the country
and succeeded in finding much of
interest in the domestic and private
life Of Washington which is not
generally known.
This new feature of public school
study of celebrating the birthday of
distinguished men by considering the
part they took in public life, in
literary work, or in war, is to be COM
lIended.

 in cash and an American record. aside
 from the glory which his feat will give
 him among racing enthusissts. But
 here is the story Gimm paid for the
 insignificant honors: Gimm's finish
 was one of the most pitiful sights thst
 was ever behsld on race track, says
 Chicago paper. The man seemed . physlcal wreck, his mind even not being clear. He was too weary to observs anything; his eyes were glassy and his ferm limp. He could not sit straight in the saddle. InvAin did Che crowd call to hin so bear up. The sntssatiss of the judsss to ride erect were directed to deaf ears. In face and figure he looked corpse.like, and, were it not for the mechanical move msnts oi his linbs, there was not . spectator in the vast cfowd whs would have pronounced him alive. Finally his slow ride ended. And not too soon e hs fell almost fsinting into the arms of his trainer nsar the tents. People have varied idess of she effects of such . terrific strain on . mans One man who sat near the judgee' stand said that ten ysars has been taken from Gimm he rested only thirty-ivs minutes during the entire twenty.four hours.
