This is decidedly a federation club
Much impetus Is given it from this
connection. Several members are al

there is not much tendency to change.

three years since.
The meetings, always delightfully."-
conducted, are held weekly. American
history and literature, Greek history
and literature also Roman, have been
studied consecutively. Current events
are discussed at each meeting, and
there are occasional hook reviews. The
members have acquired the habit of

Thus the club, as its name implies,
IS essentially literary and for the
growth of its individual members; but
it evinces a public spirit as well, for
which women's clubs are so generally
noted. The town has no library of it's
own. From the first the Woman's club
has interested itself in the subject
Through its efforts a movement was
set on foot to obtain an appropriation
for this object. Although it was de-
feated at the recent elections a little
persistence will ultimately attain the
desired end. The club freely offers it's
own volumes to such a library. These
are constantly increasing in number,
as books are purchased when needed
by the club.

it ought to be abandoned, but the spirit of

Colorado are looking forward with eagerness

Thus writes Mrs. John A. Logan to and Of
the women in the present crisis
1t Is not for women to take the initiative
IN preparations for war. But in all ages the
women OF tribes and nations have borne no

men to whom they look for protection and
support. In every age representatives of the

The American women are among the finest
types OF creation and have ever proven their
loyalty, Willingness and ability to share In
all the hardships, suffering and labors Incl

ROVerS.

The sailor man, when in deep water, can
not conceal the feeling of superiority with
which he regards the untarred land4nDber.
Some of the noncombatants who sailed the
gulf and the Caribbean during the war
learned to keep an eye on the mariners, and
others gained painful experience before they
got their sea legs.
An artist who boarded grimy tugboat
clad in white linen found his coat covered
with coal dust when he was day from port
and decided to wash it. He filled bucket
with sea water and fell to work. When he
had scrubbed the garment for 20 minutes he
was satisfied.
Then it occurred to him to starch the coat
pockets. He did SO, and pulled out-his gold
watch.
He was perturbed. The crew laughed and
be rebuked them. They bided their time.
Then one of them told the artist that the
proper way to restore the coat to it's normal
color was to tie line to it, heave it over
board and tow it for few hours. The artist
did so.
When he went below a deck hand hauled
the coat aboard, united the line and hiding
the. coat made fast ragged piece of white
duck and threw it overheard.

BEST TIME TO KICK A MAN.
Firs< Save His Life and Then You
May Apply Your Boot
with Impunity.

Perk and Quirk were walking along the
crowded street, feeling very kindly toward
themselves and the rest of humanity. Just
as they reached the middle of a crossing
one of those aggravating individuals who
walk one way and look another stepped di-
rectly in front of a cable car which was
rounding the corner. OF course the ca had
no fender on it. Nearly everybody in the
vicinity yelled, and naturally the Devil
dered man looked in the wrong direction.
Quirk didn't yell, though. He jumped to
the side of the track and grabbed the man
by the collar and yanked him clear of tie
tracks and almost out of his shoes. Then
he gave him another ferocious jerk to get
him out of the way of an express wagon,
and, getting him at proper range at the same
time, he gave the poor nan kick that must
have driven his spine up into his hat. And
With the kick Quirk reared:
"Confound you, keep your eyes open when
you are on the street,"
Quirk looked unutterably savage, but PerB
tottered to the curb, sat down and laughed
until the tears came Then he said:

earth to save a mans life and then kick
him for it.'-Chicago Times-Herald.

MACoMB, Mo-, Nov. 21.-The largest
and most destructive confagration that
has ever swept the Ozark mountains
since 1884, is now circumscribing this
town for miles and miles, north of and
parallel with the Memphis railroad.
The autumn heavy foliage has rapidly
fallen since frost and are supposed to
have been fred from sparks of freight
engines Sunday afternoon, scope
of country ID miles long is
in flames, miles of fences, orchards,
plantations, farms and dry pasture
fields, stocked with cattle and other
animals, and many old settlers homes
lie directly in the line of the
ravaging monster, while neighbor-
hoods are advancing to the scene, but
find themselves totally unable to
check the flames, their only remedy
is to hurriedly turn out stock ahead
of the flames and desert premises.
The altitude being 1,76O feet above the
sea and a terrible enthusiastically
wind prevailing, great destruction is
imminent. The town of MacOmb will
probably be destroyed.
