In the pioneer days Of Victoria, Il. c..
a HIbernian drayman, whose property
abutted on 20 that OF merchant, was
very much Disguised to find that the
merchants chickens were constantly
In his little garden patch and would
root up his flowers and vegetables.
Appeals to the merchant, who was
a patron OF the drayman. were Of no
avail. 40 the following ruse was adopt
ed:
Our friend from the Emerald Isle
purchased some eggs and placed them
here and there In his garden. lie then
awaited the merchants wife, who
would call the chickens to feed them,
and In full view OF the lady picked up
the eggs and put them In his hat.
The lady asked Mike what he was
doing
"Oh, getting a few eggs for my
breakfast" said he.
"Well," said the lady. you have no
chickens. Tho eggs are mine"
"Oh. sure are they, mum. Then what
do they do In my garden? Anything
on my premises Is my bwn."
After this the fence was made chick
On proof and Mike had no more trou-

One often hears the question asked
To what purpose is all this work Of club
women? lie any real good accomplished
or it solely to give the women an ''out,
ing one afternoon each week?
Louisville. in Cass county, is a pretty
little village, boasting Of a population of
some seven hundred law-abiding citi-
zens. Something like a year since, the
Women-a few of them-in this little
town decided to organize a woman's
club.

ganizat,on was effected and today it is

nifty, and its members have answered
the question, ITO what purpose is all

Joined the state federation, the members
began to look about for come practical
work,
They decided to open free reading
room and sta.ta public library. Each
member OF the club pledged the SUN of
one dollar and a committee was ap.
pointed to canvass the town with a SUBJ
scription paper.
One hundred dollars was in their club
treasury as result of their efforts. and
early in the spring they opened their
little library room. Printed circulars
were distributed inviting everyone to at
tend the library opening.
The invitation was 80 unique that l

Lincoln Woman's Club.
Mrs. Bushnell, president.


There is vigorous movement among
the club circles, and those who were ap.
pointed on the different committees
have returned from their summer out
ings and are looking after that part of
the club work entrusted to their care.
The woman's club holds the first
meeting Of the year October 18th. and
it is hoped large membership will be
pr, sent to give their names for the new
year book that will be printed early in
the year.
Some OF the charter members who
have not been active for some time will
be with US, and an effort is being made
to secure all the charter members now
resident in the city as active menu ers,
with perhaps an honorary list of those
away.
The plans for the ensuing yer are
nearly complete, and review of the pro-
grams as they have been handed to the
president to be passed on to the year
book committee show a most careful
preparation on the part of the leaders
OF the several departments, and, particu-
larly from practical standpoint, merit
much approval. Few. perhaps, realize
the amount Of labor it requires on the
part of the leaders to prepare the years
program and see that it is properly exc
cuted. and they are deserving OF much
in the way Of more
helpers and more good listeners.
A few changes have been made, the

les combining to make the home depart.
ment, and the club is to be congratu-
lated that Mrs. A. j. Sawyer has con-
sented to take the leadership with Mrs.
Louisa Ricketts, as assistant.
The others leaders are: Current top
ice, Mrs. w. NJ. Morning; French, Mrs.
A. B. Prize with Mrs. Fling as teacher;
history, Mrs. Bracket; literature, Miss
Harriet Towne; parliamentary, Mrs.
Eli Plummer; music, Miss Nelly Lally;
srt, Miss Sara Hayden. Many Of the
nemrers have expressed a desire to
AXE advantage of the parliamentary
lrill, and instead Of having separate
ession, it was decided that fifteen min
ties at each open nesting be devoted to
drill, giving the entire club the advan-
age of parliamentary law.
