matter Of granting Mr.. Charles T. Davis
the right Of putting Stat cellar gratings in

Dr. Jud b. Wood spoke before the COM

be removed and replaced by something
less Objectionable.
Mr.. Tanner could not agree to refuse
Mr. Davis the privilege. nor could Mr..
Noble.
The grating had been placed in position
by Mr.. Davis under a misrepresentation,
he believing that the City Council had
given him permission.

next door TO the place agreed. on behalf
Of Mr.. Davis. TO have the Objectionable
Stats removed and other gratings plac-
ed in position.

THE NEWEST YET OLDEST CLUB,

Kansas women have certainly carried of
the palm for club development. The last,
and perhaps the most pleasing organization
for Kansas women is the Sunset club. The
qualifications for membership are somewhat
startling, since no woman under seventy years
can be enrolled. One cannot help but won
der how many applications there are and
what is the order of exercises. Yet the idea
embodied in the society is delightful, for
there is period in life after which men
and women think that they are useless and
sit down in a corner to wait more or less
mournfully for death. More people beyond
the age Of sixty die from lack of whole
some mental activity than from any other
cause" said DR.. Flemming Carrow, of Mich
igan university. 1.-The idea fixes itself upon
them that with the turn Of the sixtieth year
their abilities, physical and mental, sud-
denly grow feeble and they actually hypnotic
themselves into a decline" The members
of the Sunset club are brilliant exceptions to
this painfully well-grounded charge. What
a wealth Of experience they have to draw
upon! The youngest may tell Of the quaint
people and things of sixty years ago, and
the oldest may entertain the club with spin.
ning-wheel stories of 1S1S When they talk
Of the wonderful advancement of the last
half century, Of the marvelously superior ad-
vantages which the young people of today
have, there must be some shadows Of regret
thrown over the meetings lat the decline Of
that dear old-time courtesy and Difference
paid to the white crown Of 4years; some little
pain over the superior airs and the
'know-ft-all'' spirit Of young America. But
If so. no one ever knows IT, for the Sunset
club keeps its talks, its teas and leisurely
studies all to itself, and no doubt will do
SO until their sun is set.
