I which clubs base their claims Co life,
said Miss Harrison. Still, 1t is true
that women cannot go into a club
throw themselves into easy chairs, chat
with Whomever they happen to meet,
and enjoy the rest and recreation OF
such a club They must have q pur-
pose tackled to every club. They must
gather together lot Of women of di-
verse tastes and purposes, and then IL
follows that they bore one another
81 suppose women might abandon the
study club and have one simply for
rest and recreation" unused Mrs. Har-
mon. a. 5f4Hl
"That wouldn't do" Mrs. Dennison
declared. THE woman of today is so
constituted that she can't be happy If
! she sits down and does absolutely Moth
ing. She is afflicted with the great
American rush, and must keep busy
You see, we have all been talking and
yet we have each been busy in our own
fashion. Even we, who are congerliai
companions. are not satisfied to sit still
and enjoy one anothers company with
out something else to keep US busy.
The woman of today is problem; and, {
with or without her club, she can't
be- solved by herself or by others'
well, I'm off to see what is going on
at the tea to be givon by the women OF
the 'SS club" exclaimed Miss Harrison,
as she folded her needlework. IF this
was a club, I should thank you ladies'
for letting me have the floor SO often
during the session, and should ex-
pect you to say all sorts of nice things
about the way managed this discus
sion. After I'm gone, you may free
your consciences by telling the truth
about the matter" r2' Hfawl
"Oh, come; Florence don't get cynic-
all" exclaimed Mrs. Dennison.7 "You
know we are not deceitful / think we
have had very pleasant discussion,
and shall not join that club now.

1.-THE moment you make it club, my

| and I really thought she was going to
cry"
Yes" interrupted Mrs. Dennison, ST
know just how she felt, with those two
hundred and fifty women glazing at
her! Her knees were knocking to-
gether; her writing seemed all blurred;
her heart was in her throat, and she
was more miserable than she was when
her pet canary died. If she could have
thrown that paper at the president S
| head, slammed three or four doors and
gone off by herself for a good cry she
would have felt as If life was worth
| living again."
THAT would have given some of the
| advanced women an excellent text for
a sermon on childish tenIpers as dis
played by women" said Mrs Russell
1T seems to me that the most con-
temptible part of the whole business is
the fact that every woman there knew
how Mrs. Knight felt, and not one of
them would have helped her out. I've
read that women take fiendish de-
light in blackballing one another, and
that it furnishes half the enjoyment of
club life. I don't believe that but dc
believe they take wicked pleasure in
feasting their eyes on some timid wom-
ans confusion. They like to sit and
watch her paper tremble in her hands,
find sort Of excitement in wondering
If she will get through without faint
ing or having Mysteries
Mrs. Knight did neither" resumed
Miss Harrison; she read for an hour
steadily, throwing statistics at our
heads and repeating figures till her es-
say seemed as interesting as would be
the reading of half a dozen pages from
the dictionary. Nobody could remem-
Der half the facts she quoted, and her
listeners would have had no reason for
not going to sleep, If it had not been
for the excitement furnished by her
confusion"
And did they applaud her when she
finished?" asked Mrs. Harmon.
"Oh yes: they applauded in the kid
gloved, haTf -hearted fashion that women
usually applaud, and that simply brings
to lighe another evil that the WON = .
club is fostering Their deceit knows
no end After the session everybody
congratulated Mrs. Knight on the sue
cess OF her paper; told her how inter-
esting they found 1t, and how sweet it
was for her to look up so much valuable
information for the benefit of the club,
and all that sort Of thing. After she
wes gone they told one another that it
was dry, full of statistics, poorly writ
ten, wtetchedly given and that they had
been bored to death by It,"
And probably they couldn't have
done any better with the same theme"
said Mrs. Russell.
"Of course notl" exclaimed. Mrs. Dem
.nison. And I haven't d doubt that
Mrs. Knight spent lot Of time on the
paper"

COOL BEDROOM FLOORS.

Tlyre is now fad to have floors of
bedrooms treated with paint and
enamel finish of the color prevailing in
the furniture. The wall covering should
match the floor, and the woodwork
should be white. Sometimes the wall
has a. dado a mating or denim that
matches the floor in color. while the
upper part of the wall is covered with

There has never been political cam
paign that will equal in Importance
that of the one to be fought next year.
The republican party, backed by the
money power of this country and
Europe, is alert and aggressive. Flush.
ed with the victory of three years ago
it will seek by every means in its power
to maintain its supremacy.
Democrats must be up and doing.
They must wage an unceasing war up
on their enemies. In no better and
more effective way can this be done
than by the circulation of good, sound
democratic newspapers. The publisher
of the Chicago Dispatch, the great natl
onal democratic weekly, will send to
every new subscriber for three months
a copy of the Chicago Dispatch for ten
cents. If you are not already taking
the great political weekly, send in ten
cents at once. You should not only do
this yourself, but you should induce all
your friends to join with you. By
little effort you can easily raise club
of ten or twenty subscribers.

William Jennings Bryan and other

Business Opportunities,

The b. G. r. N. Ry is constructing a
new line north and west from Worth
ington, Mimi, to the west line of the
state, which will be completed within
the year. The country through which
the line passes is the best in southwest
ern Minnesota, is practically all under
cultivation and thickly settled by we'll
TODD farmers who have been going fif-
teen and twenty miles to market. Ar
engagements have been made to lay out
towns at the most advantageous loca-
tions for business. These towns will
need stores and shops of all kinds and
merchants will find favorable openings
on this new line. Doctors and profess
sional men will also find good locations.
This company is also constructing q
line from Armstrong to Baskerville, Ia
There will be two new towns on this
line named Maple Hill and Irwin, and
investors will find splendid opportuni-
ties at either of these points.
The railway company will, as they
have always done, join with the business
men of their towns to build up centers
of trade.

any advice, my man. That made me
SO mad that didn't waste any more
time or breath on him. but lifted the
cover off my pit, jumped into it with
out stopping to use the ladder and
pulled the cover ON again.
"By this time the cyclone was max
ing itself heard. First there was a low,
rumbling sort of sound, like railroad
train makes when it is good way off.
1t grew louder and louder, till it got to
be kind of shrieking roar, like hun
dred big church organs mixed up with
a dozen or two steam whistles 1t was
as black as night in that pit, except
when the lightning flashed. for there is
always more or less lightning playing
around the funnel Of cyclone. 1t
seems as if no expense was spared in
making cyclone as various and enter
tanning as possible. just when the roar
ing was at its loudest there came an
awful crash that made the earth shake,
and then the sound began to weaken,
and in few minutes it had died away,
and the place was as still as mans
house when he comes back to it from
his wife's funeral.
So far, so goodr says to myself.
Now I'll Chamber out and see If there
is nything left of my house and the
mules and the Norwegian. But when
l tried to lift up the cover of the pit
could stir it only few inches, and that

derstand what this meant; but, being
smoker, of course had my matches
with me. So struck light and in
vestigated. l found that there was
sort of board flooring above the cover
of the pit which prevented me from
lifting it, and consequently knew that
the cyclone had dropped something just
over my head.
Luckily there was crowbar among
the tools standing in the corner of the
pit, and hunted it up and got to work
as well as could in the dark. 1t didn't
take me very long to burst hole in
the flooring that spoke of, and after /
had made an opening and let in the
light saw that there was a house on

crowbar, and presently was able to
climb out, and found myself in small
bedroom. l didn't stop to examine it,
but opened the first door came to, and
there I was in Captain Martins room,
face to face with the old man. The fur
niture was all upset, and the sides of
the house were slanting one way and
another, but there was no mistaking
that it was house. and that Captain
Martin was there. looking none the
worse for having been through cy-
clone.
So you've been and broke into my
house with crowbar, have your he
asked. Perhaps you don't know. my
man, that you've committed burglary,
and can have you arrested for it.

take it off mighty sudden there's a
prospect that there'll be more or less
shooting.
"'You don't know much about
law, says the captain. Il never put
my house on your land. 1t was done
by what the underwriters call "act of
God or public enemies" and if you
was sailor. you'd know that nobody
can be held responsible for such occur
rences

not care straw about it. / walked
straight to Lucullns, which the cyclone
hadn't touched, and hunted up Squire
Gibbs and laid the case before him. He
said that he couldn't see as Captain
Martin could be held liable for trespass-
ing, 30 long as he staid in his house
and didn't step outside on to my land.
You can't set his house afire or any
thing of that kind, said he, without
getting into trouble. No more can you
move it while he is in it, for that would
be an assault on him. But don't see
anything to hinder you from getting a
team of oxen and some rollers handy
and the first time he comes up to Luz
cullus to buy groceries you can move
his house back on to his own land and
he can't find any fault with you.
esquire Gibbs was first class law
yer, and knew I'd be fool if didn't
follow his advice after paying SIS for it.
So hired n tent that could sleep in
till such time as could run up another
house, and laid in provisions and a
yoke Of oxen and some rollers not for
getting a small hydraulic Jack. When
got back to my farm, I pitched the
tent right In front of Martins shanty,
so that could keep good watch on
him, and went to work with the help
Of a couple of men from Lucullus to
build me another house. You see, the
full force of the cyclone had passed over
just where my house had stood. while
only the outer edge Of 1t had struck the
captains premises. That accounts for
the fact that my house had been carried
clean away, while his had only been
picked up and carried few rods. As
for the mules and the Norwegian they
were scattered all over Minnesota. II
