talked about the oncentration OF

read poem, very gratefully received by
the members Of the society who after.
wards passed resolution Of thanks.
The poem follows:
THE WIDER SPHERE.
Awoman stood at her front-yard gate
Wringing her hands in grief,
For she looked in vain for paper scrap
Or the sign Of a fallen leaf,
her yard was as spie and span and clean
AS the floor Of dancing hall,
And she sighed as she glanced aroundin vain
She could find no dirt at all.
Her house was clean from cellar to roof.
The windows all shining and clear;
The carpets were busted, the furniture
cleansed,
The curtains all starched and sheer;
The woodwork scrubbed until II looked
And bright new paper upon the walls:
IN TACT, from basement to garnet high
No dust nor dirt appals.
But, alas, she stands disconsolate;
She has nothing on earth to do.
Her mop rag hangs in corner dim,
And her broom is now idle too.
She has secured and scrubbed and busted and
toiled,
And driven all dirt from her door.
And now she Is anxious (, conquer new
worlds
Since her battle with dirt is DER.
But, 10 and behold, neishbor soon CALI,
who belongs to club of renown.
ne purpose of which, so she hastens to ten.
Is to clean up the dirty old town,
And both grow as happy as birds in Nav
As they talk Of the battles they'll FIGHT

And seour things shining and bright.
SO they start at the work with h.,,,, ,;oh.

determined to do or to die.
No paper may blow on the walks O, n.

NO leaves on the lawn may lie;
NO men be allowed to spit in the cars.
Unless they will pay big fine;
NO garbage be left except in tin can.
All marshalled in shining line.
And thus the members of this famous GLIB

All the women members OF the Oak.

decided to dispense with corsets and all
restraining bands in the matter Of dress,
and adopt the Grecian costume. The
decision was reached the other afternoon
at regular meeting Of the club, after
Miss Armstrong read paper, in which
the evils resulting from tight lacing
we're set forth in detail. About fifty
women were present and the paper
created a lively discussion. at the close
OF which a resolution endorsing Miss
Armstrong; views was unanimously
adopted. The Oakland Good Health
club was organized about two years ago
by Mrs. Eleanor Hutchinson, who is an
advocate OF Ralstonism, the object Of
which is stated in the clubs prospectus
to be ''to teach people the importance OF
health while it remains and also to aid
those who are suffering to form an ALI.

hours for retiring. Some months ago q
few OF the more enthusiastic membere,

wheat had come TO represent full ban

dress reform. The women members OF
the club are sanguine Of success in es-
tablisl ing the costume advocated by
Miss Armstrong. No penalty is attach

BRADLEY IN JAIL.
He Is Accused of Taking $50 From Row
lands Pocket.

Peter Bradley is in Jail on the serious
charge of taking the sum of $50 from
the pockets of Hugh Rowlands. 1t is
charged that Bradley and ROwlands
were drinking together in Jerry Null
Inns saloon and that in due time and
form Rowlands got pretty full, and that
Bradley managed to get Rowlands back
into the rear of the saloon, where, it is
charged, he extracted the big roll from
the old mans inside pocket.
The matter was reported to Jerry
Murphy's detective bureau and search
for man and money begun. Detective
Ray struck Bradley's trail in the south
ern part of the city and headed off the
fugitive, who retraced his steps and fell
into Detective Murphy's hands The
robbery occurred about o'clock in the
morning and the arrest followed shortly
after. Bradley, when searched a the
station, had IS cents.
