CLUB NOTES.

The WOman's Club met on Wedres-
day afternoon for the first literary
program. After a half hour spent in
discussing current events, LongfellOw
was taken up. Mrs. Edwards had
compiled most interesting bio
graphy and sketch OF his life, which
was listened to with great pleasure.
This was followed by a splendid pa
per on Poetry by Mrs. F. Dumont
Smith which was greatly enjoyed by
every one. Mrs. Smith has a charm
ing style and great facility of express
son in writing. Each member of the
club then read short poem from
Longfellow of whom It was fifty said
in the biography, that he touched nc
other life, except with gentleness. y
He was indeed poet who sung either
of the gentler sweeter things in life, or
lifted up his voice for those who were
oppressed.
A solo by Mrs. Smith ''The Rainy
Day." closed the program, after
| WHICH Jour Lew ulS1lDcIS were ISCSlN
into the club. We hope every woman
in Kinslsy and Edwards county will
consider herself specially invited to
| Join this club. 1t is hoped that ii
may be made of mutual interest and
| benefit to our women. Come and Wis
it anyway, and give theclub your good
wishes, if you cannot join. The expense
will be slight, as the initiation fee is
| only so cents, and the dues 10 cents
per month.
The club is adjourned for next We'd
| nesday, on account of the fair 20 be
| given by the ladies of the Congrega-
| tiOnal church. There are five We'd
| nesdays in this month, so that we will
still be enabled to carry out our pro-
gram for December.
The next meeting will be held at
3 p. M, Wednesday afternoon. De-
cember %. Please remember the date.
After discussion of current events.
the $40 chapters of Hiawathi will be

The Greatest Discovery Yet.

w. NJ. Repine, editor TiskiIwa, Ill.
"Chief." says: I'VE won't keep
house without DR.. Kings New Dis
covery for consumption, coughs and
colds. Experimental with many 9th
ers, but never found the true remedy
until We used DR.. Kings New Discov-
cry. No other remedy can take its
place in our home. as in it We have a
certain and sure cure for coughs,
colds, whooping cough, etc." 1t is
idle to experiment with other RENE
dies, even il they are urged on you as
just as good as DR.. Kings New Dis
covery. They are not as good for
this remedy has record OF cures and
besides is guaranteed. 1t never fails
to satisfy. Trial bottles free at Port

WANT

want to be farmer,
And till the virgin soil,
To labor in the sunshine,
To stew, sweat and boil;
Iwant to earn large acres,
Whereupon the rye to sow,
And watch the cOrnstalks waving.
And hear the mortgage grow:
want to be a farmer
And grow hubbard squash,
And pumpkins and potatoes,
And other stuff, by gosh:
I want to be a farmer,
do, upon my soul,
But l havn't got the the money
To buy a gopher knoll.

citizens who were waiting for him, and
last evening they caught him and ran
him out of town.

Hines house last Sunday morning.
His son Charles when he got up in the
morning. threw the bed clothes against
the stove pipe. After awhile they took
fire and the first information of it
received by the family was given by a
gentleman who came in and, after
apologizing for disturbing the family
said, The house is on fire. Prompt
action prevented a serious fire, and
the damage was only about S25.
Some miscreant undertook TO break
into Ed Tylers house Tuesday evening
during Eds absence. He came to the
window using the vilest language,
which SO frightened Mrs. Tyler and
the children that they screamed for
assistance and frightened the man
away. If it is discovered who the
ruffian is, it will be made exceedingly
the wives and children of the commun-
ity is one on which our people are
unit. regardless of race or color.
At Dawson City, in the Klondike,
where gold is the single standard of
value, wages for la Dor is SIS a day.
This is only an extreme Illustration of
the notorious fact, however, that the
only countries where labor is respected
and gets decent wages are coun-
tries that recognize the gold standard.
The above from the Topeka Daily
Capital is a, fair average of the gold
standard argument. The Capital neg
lects to state that the people are starv-
ing in that country "where labor is
respected and where it gets decent
wages" The chief attraction in hea-
ven for people of the Capitals stripe
will be that the streets are paved with
gold.

LOUIS PHILIPPE PLAYED "CRAPS."
The Game Was introduced to New Orleans So
ciety 100 Years Ago.
From ths. Savannah, (Ga) News.

From tbs. Savannah (Ga.) News.
If there is one game to which the Sa-
vannah negro is devoted above all others
1t is craps. City or country, it is all
alike. On Sunday the country negroes
gather in little groups in the shade of
the trees, out OF sight of the big house."
and playy all day long, or until the
wages they received on Saturday night
are gone. In the cities they gather on
the wharyes, in the corners of ware
houses, or any favorable spot out of
sight of the cop" and play for amy
amount they may possess. from coppers
to dollars.
The Savannah bootblacks and news
boys, like those of any other city, gam
BILE away their earnings, and many a
game is carried on in the lanes, the play
ers often becoming so interested that
they lose all thought of the policeman
until that worthy appears in their midst
and nabs a couple of the players. White
boys play the game, too, but negroes of
all ages and sizes shoot" craps. There
is only one other game which equals
craps in fascination for them, and that
is policy. and. as policy is more liable to
be interfered with by the police, craps
has all the advantage.
There are destinations about the game
peculiarly African. 1t is not without it's
miracles; tbs ordinary some seven,
come eleven plan of the game is simple
enough. but there is crowd around the
players. and there may be half dozen
interested in the game and dozen side
bets. How they manage to keep the run
of the game is a mystery to the 6rdi-
nary observer, but they do so with I'M
erring accuracy. Fights over crap
