The Alpha Literary circle has nearly
completed the eighth year Of its course
Of study. The cirlce is composed Of IA
ladies, who organized their society
eight years ago this spring. 1t was the
first literary club organized in Laramie
and still retains its original member
ship. Each year the president has Sc
lected a course Of reading and study for
the year and in this way has gone over
the history. manners, customs and re-
ligion OF the leading nations Of the
world, az we'll as a study OF the character
and works OF the ancient and modern
philosophers, statesmen, poets, etc.
During the year just closing they have
been studying the history Of our own
nation. its leading events, discoveries,
early settlements, wars. etc, giving par
ticular attention to the different ma
tionalities, which have contributed to
the homogeneous mass, which con-
stitutes u population. In the course
of it's reading, the society, Individually
and collectively, has accumulated quite
a number Of valuable books bearing up
on different subjects. which it has been
studying. At a meeting of the society
two weeks ago a resolution was unani-
monsly passed donating these volumes
to the public library of the city. They
will be a very valuable addition and the
public will doubtless feel grateful for
the opportunity thus afforded them to
secure access to these choice works. The
society does not propose to disband or
discontinue its course OF study. but after
a brief summer vacation will arrange
and enter upon another years work.

Here's to my wife's Easter bonnet
Lots Of pluntes and gewgaws on it.
My old hat is bunged and dirty;
my wife's bonnet cost just thirty.
Here's to my wife's Easter bonnet,
Fresh and fair as the red rose on it.
Each one neat and sweet to e is;
Neither one Is as sweet as she Is.
Here's to my wife's Easter bonnet;
