"Blix" went along. and an old sailor
told them a story and "Blix" recOgniz-

they had lunch in Chinese restaur-
ant, and "Landy" because he was
newspaper man and it was the end of
the week. didn't have any change
about his clothes, and Blk" had to
pay the bill. And it was in that
green old tea house that ''Landy"
read BLK" one of his fayorite yarns
by Kipling, and she i'm a calm, Off
handed way, recognized one of the fine.
technical points in it. and "Landy"
almost went to pieces for joy Of her
doing it. That scene in the Chinese
restaurant is one Of the prettiest bits
of color you'll find to rest your eyes
upon, and mighty good writing it is.
i wonder. though if when Mr.. Norris
adrOitly mentioned the ''clack and
snarl'' Of the banjo "Landy" played.

dy." and got interested in his work,
and she broke him of wearing red
neckties and playing poker. and she
made him work, she did, for she grew
to realize how much that meant to
him. and she lacked him up when he
didn't work, and she suggested an
ending for one Of his stories that was
better than his own; just this big,
splendid girl, who had never gone to
college to learn how to write novels.
And so how. in the name Of goodness,
could he help loving her? So one
morning down by the Pacific, with
"Blix" and 1.-The Seven Seas" it all
came over "Landy," that ''living was
better than reading and life was bet

sings through ones head when one
puts the book away.

IDLE HANDS AND SILENT
TONGUE.

Why art thy hands thus idle?
Why art thou silent, pray?
: When on every hand, in every land,
here, there, and far away.
Thou seest the work that is yet undone,
awaiting faithf,d toueh,
And on every air is borne the prayer,
Of hearts that need 50 much.
Hearts that are bruised and bleeding,
that mourn the vacant place,
That long in vain for the sight again
of dear familiar face.
Shall it not be thine to find those fields,
and thine to break the soil,
Toplant and sow,that flowers may grow,
and fruit may follow toiR
Might thy tongue not find message,
that, softly bling borne
Would soothe to rest each aching breast,
with sorrow overworn?
Not always have stood thus apart
from earth's uneeasing round,
With signs for Life and its restless strife,
but lips that bfea'he no SOUND
With strong hands resting idle,
while weaker ones than mine
Lose Craze and youth, that love and truth
in the wales of life may shine.
Ihave erieved when sorrow
entered homes, strange, unweleome guest.
Ny hands have wrought and my bps
have sought to calm each troubled breast
But now, o, let me Hnger behind
the eager throng,
For that Guest has come to my silent
home, and have no valiant song.
think of the hands that loved their work,
of the voice that sang Tor me
And wonder then If IN know them
when cross the tideless sea!
dts o, for the toueh Of vanished hand,
the sound Of a voice that Is stin."
And unbried Lie the hopes that die
like blossoms heath winters chill

and we ask that as soon as their plans
are formulated that they will announce
them to the clubs through the columns
OF the official organ. / know that the
bondage OF habit is strong. In the past
the president and chairmen OF commit
tees have been obliged to send out per-
sOnal notification 10 each club; but now
you have a medium-a servant-to do
this work for you. Is the force Of habit
30 strong that you must do your own
cooking after you have duly estab-
lished cook in the kitchen? Every new
club that is organized, every new de-
parture in work. every plan OF study de-
veloped by the household economics or
any other committee should first reach
the club women of Nebraska through
their official organ. else the name is
sounding hrsss and tinkliug cymbsl.
One paper to club means one glass OF
water for ever twelve or fifteen persons;
how much refreshment do you think
they can get individually? Then
again. are the club women OF Nebraska
80 poor that they cannot afford to pay
less than two cents a week for the club
paper which comes to their homes every
week, filled with news and reports of
what their sister club women are doing
throughout the state? Several club
women have written me how eagerly
they watch for it's appearance each Sat-
urdsy evening, but the support it now
receives would not warrant it's continu-
ance on business principles. Every club
woman in Nebraska should have it. or
il that is too expensive. every three or
four should club together. that they
may feel a personal touch OF interest
in this work. All report and announce
ments should be made through it's col
umns. You cannot make a club paper
without the support Of the club women
any more than you can make bricks
without straw"

The following extract from letter
from Miss Haskell, chairman OF the ed
ucational committee, will be OF interest
to others who are debating in their
minds the same question: Il have been
considering the question OF reorganias-
ton from all sides, and nov stand I'm
equivocally against reorganization in
representation. Reorganization is big
word TO use in this connection. and an
unfortunate one as we'll. 1t is unparal-
elled in the history OF organizations to
acknowledge weakness in strength, to
reason that because an organic ition is
large it is therefore unwieldy. and can
only be accounted for by supposing that
some Of our club sisters have lost their
bearings by the unprecedented growth
Of the club movement

One Of the most important events OF
the closing years Of this century is the
organization Of the colored women Of
the United States into an organization
similar to the National Federation Of
Women's Clubs, under the following
pledge: ave, the colored women Of
America stand before the country today
a united sisterhood pledged to promote
the welfare Of our race along all the lines
that tend to its development and ad =
vancemept." 1t may be that the con-
viction that union Of forces in their
own ranks would be great power came
to many colored women simultaneously,
but the three who gave 1t voice were
Mrs. Mccoy Of Michigan. Mrs. Cook of
Illinois and Mrs. Ruffin OF Massachu-
sets. BY agreement these women met
in Washington in 1892 to confer upon
the subject Of organization among col
ored women. As result they sent cir
culars broadcast among the colored VIC
men of the United Statee, urging COOP
Grafton, resulting in the formation OF
many leagues. The first convention OF
these was called to meet in Boston, July.
1895, resulting in the organization Of
the National Federation of the Afro
American Women, with Mrs. Booker T.
Washington as president. A year later
this association united with the national
league Of colored women and was chris
tened the N. A. c. W., with Mrs. Terrill
OF Washington as president. At the
first annual convention, which was held
at Nashville, September, 1897, they had
membership Of ten thousand. They
then decided to hold their conventions
biennially. The first biennial meeting
was held in Chicago last August and
was a marvel to all interested enough to
inform themselves in regard to it. There
were one hundred and forty five dele
gates, representing some thirty thousand
colored women organized for the one
purpose to uplift their race. The
topics discussed were OF an intensely
practical character. These women were
not there promoting hobbies or theories,
but were planning exactly how the un-

the value Of organized effort, il anything
is to be accomplished, We earnestly urge
those clubs which have DO department
devoted to child study to appoint at
once a committee on education, that
the schools in its vicinity may be visited
regularly, the patrons meetings may
be arranged for, that some form Of child
study may be pursued, that the growth
Of school libraries may be fostered and
encouraged and that every opportunity
may be improved to emphasize the fact
that the interests of the club, home and
school are closely allied. All federated
clubs are requested to send q report of
what has been done in these matters to
the chairman Of the state educational
committee at the end Of the club year
in May or June -that these reports may
be summarized for the annual meeting
Of the state federation in October.

tees wish to have reach the club women

the clubs desiring the course of art
study that they could secure it only
through the colun ns of The Courier,
with the result that clubs wishing to
take that course send in their subscrip-
tons for the paper. Miss Haskell,
chairman Of the educational committee,
sends in her official announcement, thus
saving the expense and trouble Of cir
cular letters. There were several other
unusually strong committees appointed

JAPANEsE THEATRE CLOSED.

If the admirers of Oriental drama de-
sire to view the plays of the Japanese
Bard of Avon they will no longer find
the troup at Makilli near the old base
ball grounds, where they held forth last
week. The company closed it's brief en-
gagement Saturday. 1t was not due to
any failure of the ghost to walk for the
show caught on from the start and
large crowds were the order every night
High Sheriff Brown took a hand in the
game however and it was owing to his
orders that the managers abbreviated
the length of the plays.
The license for the theater was issued
for one week only but it did not give the
managers the right to play into the wee
sma hours. The manager went on the
policy that he would make money while
the license lasted so he worked his
players harder than if they We're on a
continuous vaudeville circuit. The
show would begin about o'clock and
continue until 1870 and a. m. While
the extra hours rewarded the managers
with additional money they had a most
disquieting effect upon the people re-
siding in the vicinity of the play house
and when High Sheriff Brown heard
how late the play was being run he
served notice on the managers that
their performance would have to close
at 1880 p. m. The muse must be given
a rest declared the High Sheriff.
1t was decided to move the show as
soon as the license expired and 1t is
the intention to reopen some where in
Chinatown within the course of a few
days provided satisfactory arrange
ments can be made.
