AGENs CLUB.
It's Pleasant Reunion ON Saturday
Evening Last.

Evening Last.
1t is now some nine years since about
dozen ambitious young men-at that
time nearly all students of the Sacra-
mentO High School-conceived the very
excellent idea of forming a literary and
debating club for mutual improvement.
Thus sprang into being that organ
ization in. whose beloved name,
"Agens, has been the magic infiu-
ence which so often called forth flights
of oIatory in warmly contested forensic
battles, or even tapped the springs of
poetry in literary production Among
its loyal members there has been ce-
mented a bond of the closest fraternal
feeling and enduring friendship.
The "Agens Club maintained an ac-
tive and continuous existence for about
three years, after which, owing to its
members launching forth into. the vari-
! Gus activities of life, some going to
college and some into business, it was
deemed best to discontinue it's fort
nightly meetings. But the strong fra
ternal bond thus formed has made pos
sible many pleasant annual reunions,
which will ever stand out as red-letter
On Saturday evening the annual re-
union was held, taking the shape of a
banquet, given in honor of its most
prominent member politically, Hon
Morris Brooke of Oak Park, who en-
joys the distinction of having occupied
| a seat in the last Legislature.
That the city members might the
| more fully distend their lungs with the
invigorating ozone of the country, they
| met by invitation of Mr.. Brooke at
Strawberry Hall, near Oak Park. They
were prepared to do justice to the
viands and to crate on the sentiments
proposed.
