fairs and each is inclOSed in a very heavy,
massive gilt frame. Both are rural scenes

blooded horses and the other a half dozen
fine cattle in a pasture drOwSy sum-
mer afternoon. The pictures were painted
originally from life near Topeka and are
valued at 81 200 each.
When E. Bennett erected his mansion
at Eighth and Buchanan streets several
wears ago. the house which is now the
kansas executive mansion, he was max
ing money out of dealing in fine horses
He imported a great many of the finest
horses ever brought west of the Mlssls-
sippi river. He wished to have paintings
of some of them and of some of his fine
cattle for his new home. An artist was
brought to Topeka and two pictures were
painted from life in miniature-compan-
ion pieces. The miniatures were then
taken to. Paris, and painted on large
in the Paris salon for a time These are

exhibited in Paris for a time they were
brought to Topeka and hung in the Ben
nett mansion and remained there until
the residence was sold to the state, when

Griggs "smalIpox" Case Still Under
Quarantine.

The "smallpox" case in the family of
P. w. Griggs still continues with una
bated fury, according to the board of
health. The board keeps two guards at
the house, one day and one night, and
maintains a strict quarantine.
A. Griggs, VINO is charged with hav-
ing smallpox, has been entirely well for
two weeks. He was released from
quarantine once two weeks ago, and
then put back again, by order of the
board of health. DR.. Hamilton, who
has been attending the case, insists that
there is nothing the matter with the pa
tient, and that he has not had small
pox, nor anything like it. Apparently
City Physician Judd was of the same
opinion at first.
Mr.. Griggs is very indignant at the
action of the board of health in forcing
him to maintain a quarantine when
every indication is that there is no con-
ia giOuS disease.

The Junes.' You helped us start the
society, you know, and We want you to
tell about it, All right" said Brown,
I'm yours to command, and if you
women will get your program ready
will print them for you with my COM
pliments." 20, will you?" cried both
women at once Il think Mrs. Brown
has very nice husband" said Mrs.
Holland. Il believe We will have to
give you the title of Godfather of the
Junes." Mr.. Brown laughed, bid the
ladies good afternoon, and with his
thumbs in the armholes of his vest
started for his Office, with the mental
remark that women were nice little
things. AS he passed small artificial
pond that he had made for the chill
dren in the corner of his garden he
stopped moment to watch a brood of
fluffy goslings swim round and round
in the little circle and with the same
feeling in his breast that he had had
towards his wife and her friend, he
thought-"Goslings are nice little
things"-and went on.
The banquet was an event in the his
tory of Willowton. The Opera house
was beautifully decorated. The long
tables were elegant with snowy linen,
silver and flowers.
Well groomed men and prettily
gowned women laughed and chatted
in the large room. The menu was Just
what hearty, healthy, active inhabi-
tants of Nebraska with wholesome
lives and good digestion required.
When the program began, Mrs.
Brown, as president, made a short.
beautifully worded speech of welcome
and when she sat down Brown glowed
with pride that she was his wife. He
never realized how bright she was be-
fore. Mrs. Holland was toastmistress
and introduced Mr.. Brown as God
father to THE Junes," to which toast
he would respond. When Mr.. Brown
arose to his feet and looked over the
long tables, the feeling that he used
to have at his old alumni banuuets
came over him, and seeing all were
provided with water, he caught up his
own glass and holding it up to the
light, said: Let us drink in this clear
element, typical in it's purity of nv
subject, success and prosperity to The
Junes,'" the crowd caught the spirit
of the occasion and glasses were
clinked and drained. Then Mr.. Brown
launched forth. He never did any,
thing by halves: he told how he drew
the constitution to start this society.
how he had watched it's growth with
interest and love; how successful II
had become, how it had brought the
college to the home. 1t was the busy
housewives postgraduate course Ir
was the common school to that woman
whose early education had been neg

women who have something to saw to
come and say it, and for women who
have nothing to say to come and learn
something to say and how to saw II
1t was purely educational and to that
woman whose life had been one con-
slant doing for others it was a change
a rest, a place to gather new Thoughts
