The first literary session of the Cen
trail Study club occurred last evening
In the lecture room of the Peoples

j. M. Hawthorne presided. The first
solo by Mrs. E. A. Warren, after which
Prof. G. l.. Wells, of the state univer-
sity. gave talk on the methods of
historical study as applied to Greece
Prof. Wells dWelt on the necessity of
following the logical as well as the
chronological sequence Of events as that
was the only possible way of under
standing the forces that are making
history. The next number was a
reading by Miss Zulema Fuller, her
selection being "a scene in an amphi-
theater, arranged from the son of Is
sachar." Miss Fuller responded to an
encore, giving in very pleasing man
ner the humorous selection entitled,
''The Railroad Crossing" 1.-The Yoe-
ingly rendered by Mr.. M R. Geddes.
Greek geography does not sound like a
particularly interesting subject but
with the Skillful treatment which Miss
Doherty gave it, 1t certainly was both
interesting and instructive. The popu-
lar number of the evening was the
humorous trio by Messrs. ]. c. Myron,
W. F. Myron and Mccartney. In a
very dramatic and earnest way they
argued in song as to the merits of a
tall wife, a short wife, or no wife at
all, and each thought his farm would
be best titled and his house better fill
ed by his own particular choice. At
