girl, with the blue eyes, would be his
wife. And then, If the party needed
good man to share the honors Ia the
Senate, or on the bench, it might be he
could venture little into politics. But
nothing small for him, nothing small.
He was young Man now. All, but
wait few years. Then
He was known as successful Man.
He smiled strangely as he read the
morning paper. Yes. there we're the
headlines, containing the name In large
letters, referring to him as the Well
known Counsellor Of Gold Brick & Son,
the Eminent Jurist, ETC., and an article
concerning his coming entrance upon
Senatorial duties. Well, he had made q
hard fight. For months he had thought
OF nothing else, and worked for nothing
else, He had won. But his head whirl.
ed His brain was weary. He glanced
on down the newspaper column, to read
there brief history Of bis life. HE
birth place was given, and the date
what, sixty years and more since he was
bornY Yes, he was weary, and worn,
and growing gray. He closed his tired
eyes and his thoughts sped back through
the years to the time when he was a
Boy, healthy, care-free and happy. 1t
rested him 70 think OF it.. The familiar
scenes Hoated through his mind like the
breath of morning. There was the old
school.house, in the center OF the spsc-
ious, shady play ground. Many time
had he climbed that big maple. close to
the door, and peeked in through the
transom at the envious scholars. More
than once had the teacher trounced
him for it. He could look In now
through the wide old.fsshioned win
dows, and see the seat that used to be
his, and the one close by, where the blne
eyed maiden sat. He remembered, too:
how in the long summer afternoons he
used to wish he could get out and run
down the hill to the creek he could sea
from his desk. He could hear the
blackbirds singing their shrill, croaking
chorus from the trees. Down by that
broad elm, with the vines creeping over
it, was the swimming hole. What fun
to make slippery place on the muddy
bank, and then all slide in a string into
the water. Life was no problem then.
But he was Boy no longer.
Once he had been Lover, That was
in the days OF early struggle in his pro-
fession. He was then little more than Q
Boy. He had laughed at his poverty,
and the world laughed with him. He
had been but q sight.seer In q world
that was new and wide. He had been
10 his youth, with all his work before
him. He had been keen Tor tire strug.
gle. for--he loved the girl. He was
strong and buoysnt. and hoped that he
was loved. He gained footing In law.
Then he began to climb. He had ap-
preached his idol. He wooed her.--and
won her. What joy to he living. Then
The successful Man opened his eyes.
There were the headlines Of the paper.
There were bis gray hairs. He was no
longer Boy. He was no longer .
Lover. He was just Successful Man.

pated, were Events Leading to the

The Civil War;" by Mrs. Kennedy, both
OF which brought to the minds OF those
who lived it history which young,y

iniscences of those days Of secession and
dishonor, Of the days which tried mems
souls and made women rise in their
power and loyalty-to lend helping

Mrs. Flora Ashman, former member
of the club, having returned to Weeping
Water after an absence OF several years,
was reinstated by unanimous vote.
Music for the day was furnished by Mrs.
Teegarden.
November 18-Club met with Mrs.
Hungate. A paper on "Keconstruction
Day." by Mrs. Hay, was read by Mrs.
Yates. This being one Of the days fer
parliamentary practice There are two
during the year,, the leaders, Mesdames
Huugate and Race presented the rules
of organization according to Roberts and
applied them to the organization Of q
woman's club.
Follow ing this, for relaxation and va.
riety, another organization was at.
tempted by some Of the most distin-
guished women of the land. With Mrs.
Apperson. president Of the N. F. w. c.,
and Mrs. Poynter by her side acting as
secretary, the noted women, assembled
for the occasion, proceeded to organize
political party for the purifying Of the
nation and OF political parties. Mrs.
Mark Hanna and Mrs. Bryan sat side by
side, while the two rival candidates for
the presidency we're not backward IN
preser ting their claims and making
promises. By all this turmoil modest
Clara Barton, Ella Wheeler Wilcox and
Mrs. Stoutenborough were almost oh.
scured. AS most women will be heard
when they are in the spirit Of it, all
managed to have their say about some
thing, sometimes to the point and some
times not. From beginning to end the
spirit OF fun pervaded the atmosphere
OF this usually sedate and serious
minded club.
Two vocal solos were given by Miss
Sackett, with Mrs. Teegarden at the
piano. M. L. WooDFoRD.
An enthusiastic few of the Town and
Country Club Of York met last Friday
10 the new club rooms for the purpose
Of organizing for the winters work. As
there were not enough members present
to take any action, the meeting was post

Note the change in the time Of meeting.
The chief object OF this club is to get
the country ladies interested, and it is
thought that Saturday would be bet
ter day for the ladies out Of town than

from Friday to Saturday. Pleasant
