1t was thought best to drop foot
ball on account of the season being
too warm, and horse races, except
perhaps slow race and other funny
races, on account of the rules COM
pelling everything to be held in GEN.
ter of town. It was thought best to
offer prizes for best calithumpian
turnout, and fancy illuminated BIZ
cycle, costume and trimming, the lat
ter to be pulled off after supper just
before the fireworks. The subject of
Offering a prize for best decorated
business and dwelling house, was left
till later meeting. Arches across
the street were talked of also.
A discussion as to how much mon.
ey should be raised to make a cred
ible showing, for town the size of
Worthington, with her push and en-
terprise, arose, and it was thought bv
many that $1,000 was the least, but
being put to vote, it was decided that
$500 must be raised and the first
amount if possible, as some of these
committees would probably need
more. Others who were not repre-.
sented would need some, and many
extra expenses which no one can
possibly foresee will arise.
Grotesque representations for the
calithumpian parade are already be-
ing considered.
Another meeting sviIl be called the
firs: of next week. ....

FAMILY OF LORD ROBERTS.

England's Great Military Hero's
Devotion to His Wife and Pride for
His Son.
Here is a new story, fresh from the
other side, which shows to a remarka-
BILE degree the picture Of England's
greatest military hero in the light OF
husband and father. 1t seems that the
most perfect sympathy has existed be-
tween Lord and Lady Roberts since
they were married, forty-one years ago,
and Lady Roberts, herself the daughter
of soldier. has always been able to as
sociate herself with the chief interest
in life Of her husband. Her work in
India, in the cause of the soldiers
wives. will long be remembered by the
English. and among her own sex she is
as much beloved as Lord Roberts is by
his men.
The death of their son at Colenso
Lady Roberts. as they were singular
ly affectionate and united family. The
greatest affection existd between the
distinguished father and his promising
son. Lord Roberts was most anxious
that his son should achieve distinction
in some profession, and his valuable
experience and sympathy were always
at his sons service. "Bobs'' was very
proud of his sons prowess in the sad
die. At a race meeting, some time ago
in Ireland, Lieut.. Roberts rode clean
away from the field and won by a doz-
en- lengths. my son must not be en-
coura ged to ride: a soldier has to keep
all his abilities for the service said
Lord Roberts; and then, with a burst
of paternal pride, ''but in all my life
never saw anyone ride better race

The Statesman and the Late Miss
Kingsley.

There is an interesting incident
which Ralph 3. Benson describes in a
recent number OF the London Spectat-
or, in connection with the late Miss
Mary kingsley. In February last Miss
Kingsley gave lecture at the Imperial
institute. Among the audience was a
great statesman and administrators,
still happily with US. though long since
rude donatus. Not knowing that he
was present. Miss Kingsley has occa-
sion to refer in terms of glowing eulo-
gy to his noble work In a great prov
ince of the far East. At the conclusion
of the lecture this gentleman sent UP
his card, and advanced to speak to
Miss Kingsley.
"Hullo." she said, "I thought you
were dead"
NO" he replied, "but I thought I
was forgotten"

These were the words written on
slip Of paper which Harvey Barclay
dextrously pressed into Helen Rey-

their memory the first to recur to her
as she opened her eyes to the new day.
Fortune and her own wit favored
her. She was alone in the library

hand on his sleeve. "Why?"
He turned TO her face from which
the smiling mask had fallen, and
which looked gray and haggard in the
dim light.
do I not always wish to see you?"
he responded, covering her hand with
his. "Oh, Helen! such moments as
these are rare moments, when can
