HICKS STORY

1t was in lS41 that Hicks. the Cornish
wit. first made n county name as a wit
~ raconteur. In that year Sir Samuel
Spry. who had been member for Bod
min since the great reform bill. lost his
seat. ana in petulant mood took legal
proceedings against Hicks. on the
ground that he had abused his official
position to influence voters at the polls.
says the Cornhil. In the course of the
trlal Hicks was called upon to state
what he had to say in his defense. In
the course Of his statement he asked
leave Of the court To illustrate his po-
sition by story. His request being
assented To he related how a few days
previously he had been 10 see a lad

Federated Clubs and What They Stand For.

And after all the hurry and furry or
nervous women and anxious men.
what has been accomplished? There
are many tired. worn faces with the
keen. intelligent ones in every assem-
bly,. There are very few reposeful
ones. II mamma has been TO her art
club and her committee on hospitals,
and looked in al her free kindergartens,
and reported on her social-settlemeat
sewing society, she is likely to have a
nervous headache in the evening.
There are some ge-improvemen
societies that have made order out OF
chaos. and ugliness blossom into
beauty. But how few clubs stand for
anything in the great purposes of the
world, The equal suffrage association
stands Tor more than equal suffrage,
and the Womans Christian Temper
ance Union for more than temperance,
in the higher education. No one has
any doubt about the object Of these
organizations. The great sociological
problems of this age of unrest press
upon thoughtful minds, and while
women fritter away afternoons over
original papers on everything artistic
and esthetic, society goes on manufac-
turing its criminals and paupers.
'All your little societies for slum
work" again says the great pioneer of
reform. for philanthropy. for temper
ance. for social purity. are like empty
ing the ocean with a teaspoon. Social
conditions must be changed" If the
club women and the cluh-men are not
10 be a large factor in this change.
what has club life accomplished? What
is the use of a higher education, 4
keener insight and intelligence. unless
these generate a broader thought and
unity of purpose for right living and
high thinking?
When federated clubs stand for
something more than the culture that
too often means individual selfshness:
when the great pulse beat of humanity
throbs through their life purpose they
will mean more than social factors.
While the bondsmen of poverty pray
and plead: while the unemployed ask
for work: while the hungry cry for
bread: while the saloon stands with
open doors to tempt the weak and dis
couraged. and is the business that rules
municipal corruption: while the
tyranny of boodleism frets the Ameri-
can who vaunts of liberty, and appalls
the foreign thinking man with Ameri-
can patience or inertnesS; while vice
naunts in our streets, and crime hides
in our alleys, there is plenty of work
for club men and women to expend en-
ergy upon, instead of wasting it upon
the moldering legends of antiquity.
When our daughters have left col
lege they will not require the culture
of the present club life. They will
stand equipped for the conflict of the
hours need.
club life can unite and stand for
public as we'll as private good and
against The wrongs which should not
be condoned by patience. Francis
Peabody says that if every two we'll
to-do families would look after one
family in want the sociological prob
lem would be settled everywhere, even
in pauperiZed London. and human
hearts would be full of the sympathy
of brotherly loye.-Emma Seabury in
