resident of Mt St. Mary's. Some years ago
he moved to Toledo with his family where
they soon found employment and were doing

The storm which passed over this section
last week was the severest known to many
old settlers. 1t played havoc among trees
and fences. In many places trees and limbs
had to be removed from the public roads
before teams could pass. Luckily In this
section no buildings were unroofed.

The Culture Club met at the home of Mrs.
E. A. Matthias last Friday evening. TWEEN
ty one persons were present The principal
current event was the ruin wrought by the
severe storm of October Goth and 30th.
The lesson for the evening was from "Ju-
Illus Caesar" Miss Margaret Osler gave us a
fine pen picture of "Portia" as depicted by
SHAKESPEARE in this tragedy. The members Of
the club agreed with the assertion that
Shskspere aimed to describe his conception
Of an ideal woman In his "Portia" in the
Merchant of Venice" and that Of a loving,
womanly woman in "Portia" Of "Julius Ce
sar." The readings were from Act III, Scene
/, and were well discussed after which half
hour was deyoted to a presentation Of the
republican, democratic and popullst national
platforms as regards the money question.
At the conclusion of the matter 1t seemed
quite evident that each and every one was
more firm ly convinced that the view they
held at first was the right one rs is usual
with all such discussions. The tariff question
will be presented next Friday evening after
the readings from the play now being studied.
This meeting was most enjoyable and instruc
tive and the unhagging interest of every
member from beginning to end was apparent
We trust similar interest may always be
manifested. One specially pleasing feature
was the presence of a number Of gentlemen
who added much to the interest of the meet
ing. 1t is hoped they may favor the club
every week.
Club meets with Mrs. f. A. Matthias next
Friday evening.
