The ladies were little slow in gath
ering at Library hall Thursday after
noon to listen to the lecture by the
noted Thomas Emmett Dewey of Abilene,
on the Growth of Shakespeare's Mind
and Art. This was doubtless owing to
the extreme heat as nearly everyone
is interested in the subject on which
Mr.. Dewey spoke.
Thursday was the day for the regular
meeting of the federation and a short
business meeting preceded the lecture.
The minutes of the previous meeting
were read and approved and several
new members were taken into the fed
Grafton. A committee was appointed
to confer with the committees from
Washburn college and the high school
in regard to arranging a lecture course
for next winter. The business meeting
was followed by a delightful vocal
solo by Mrs. w. I. Miller, accompanied
by Miss Bundy.
The stage was prettily decorated with
roses and palms and large American
flags draped at either side and the
back.
Mr.. Dewey gave a complete outline
of Shakespeare's life and works which
he divided into four periods as follows:
First period, In the Workshop" sec
iod, "Out of the Depths;' fourth per
iod, ION the Heights He also gave
the works belonging to each period and
pointed out the benefits of a chrome
logical study of the works of any au-
thor.
Mr.. Dewey said that by his talk to
the federation he desired above all
things to inspire many to a more thor
ough study of this great author; that
many people give an excuse that they
have not time, but we can nearly al
ways find time to do the things we de-
sire to do and he wished to give us the
desire.
1t was a great treat to hear Mr..
Dewey and it is believed that much
benefit will be derived from his talk.

Tampa, Fla, June 3.-With the estab-

CHILD OF A FIGHTING SIRE.
General Joseph wheeIer's Daughter Go
ing to Cuba as n Nurse.


Evidently the blood of Fighting joe
Wheeler runs plentifully in the veins OF
his charming young daughter Annie. as
well as in those of his sons Tom ana
young Joe. Miss Annie is just twenty,
and shortly after her fathers appoint
ment as major general of the cavalry
division she announced her intention OF
going to Cuba as a nurse. The generafs
has always been the apple of
his eye, and he was much opposed 10
her aking chances of being carried OFF
by fever or other Cause on the battle
fields of a ~diSease-laden climate. Miss
Wheeler met his objections by remind
ing him that her brother Tom, three
years her junior. vas a midshipman on
the Columbia, and that brother Joe was
serving on his fathers staff. Why
shouldn't she be allowed to help? The
general knew his daughters determined
spirit. so he made a virtue of necessity
and yielded with the best of grace he
could command. Miss Wheeler was verJ
much in earnest. She a accompanied
her father to Tampa. and upon securing
his permission she lost no time in apply
ing to f. C.. Elwell. who Is in charge OF
the Red Cross arrangements Tor the
campaign, to become a nurse. Now she
Is & to be off to Cuba, and no one
chafes at the delay more tina this pref
ty and accomplished young girl.
The martial spirit OF the old veteran
is strikingly apparent in his children.
The general was a fire-eater in his day,
and the taste of the embers still fingers
In his mouth. His two SONS and his
daughter have inherited that taste.
Fighting joe Wheeler was a mere
boy when the civil war broke out, but he
| soon demonstrated that he had In him
the stuff hat great soldiers are made
of. He was one of the bravest, keenesi
and most daring officers in the Confed-
crate army, and withal one of the most
successful. 1t seems to be in the Wheel
err blood.

"This was before the rain storm"
said the Ameer of Silver Lake precinct
to a Standard reporter who met that
dignifed parsonage in front of a Main
street cafe. "a number of the lovers
of nature from this city made merry at
the AXE last week. Armed with brushes,
palette, easel, camp stool n sun UNI
brella, they went there to woo the ar
tistic muse in the aboriginal confines
of that famous summer outing spot.
The monster pines which make its sur
roundings so attractive bore hammocks
in their graceful branches, while the
grass beneath was dotted with groups
of young people who were content for
a day to simply look and drink in the
beauty of nature before getting out
their s%ketching materials and transfer
ring their impressions to canvas. The
scenery about the lake has never before
been so beautiful as II is this year" and
the captain, for by such title he is gen
orally known in this city, drew a long
sigh, and dejectedly remarked: But
the rain has come and the u folks
returned to the city, and I am lonely,
yea, sad. / will remain in the city I'M

sipated by the absorbent rays OF our
