his life work. continued the writer, Ig-
natius Loyala was one of the greatest

very powerful and like a true soldier
he always led the way he wished his
followers To take inspiring them by his

courage and determination. Yet we
turn away from this majestic figure OF

the passing of generations.
supplementary to Mrs. Rich's paper

| the Home Literary club was held Tues
| day evening. November 3. at the home
| of Mrs. Walter Brown. Prospect street,
| Woonsocket. The subject Tor the even
| ing was Bismarck" Mrs. Nellie Shell
| don read a very interesting paper on
| the early life OF Bismarck. giving n
| detailed account of his early career and
| education up To the time of his mar
| riage. Mrs. Brown then read n de-
| tailed account of his political career
| from that time until 1890. Few men OF
! the century have served their. age with
| more vieor and distinction than has
| Germany's Iron chancellor II we eX-
| cept perhaps. Mr.. Gladstone, his one
| rival as a contemporary statesman OF
| the first rank. there is no man of the
| time whose career traverses such en-

, intruder with frank kindliness; and
! open to the day also was the purity and
| lovableness of his personal character
| and the sweet simplicity OF his domestic
life. In this sturdy patriot the German
nation loses the most illustrious OF her
sons. Nor will his compatriots i'm
| America be the least genuine of his
mourners, or he wanting in reverence
