The Maccabees gave a very
successful basket social in the
Odd Fellows hall last Friday
night which was attended by a
large crowd. Frank Besuchet
was unanimously elected auc-
tioneer and he hadn't been at it
very long before the crowd be-
came convinced that that was the
graft he ought to stick to. The
way he hypnotized those young
fellows was a fright and some of
the baskets cost the boys 50.
The total proceeds of the sale
was $45 and the auctioneer threw
in his commission. After the
social the crowd adjourned to the
fire hall and danced for a couple
of hours. The whole affair was
livery successful.

shrank from undue expression of her
feelings. Mrs. Vane respected her
reserve as she had encouraged her
confidence.
Don't be downhearted, my dear.
Go right on with your plans. Count
on me for the 10000 and more if the
plan develops as I think it will. And
meanwhile, if in your trips among
the working girls, you run across
anyone who can take Hilda's pace,

to find anybody yet. l would get
along without help. but Mr.. Vane will
not allow it, with all the company we
have. No, don't shake hands like
men. Kiss me, my dear"
So Barbara impulsively kissed her,
and went away much comforted. She
dreaded the thought that she might
meet the young minister, and half
hoped she might But for the next
three weeks Mr.. Morton was called
out of Crawford on a lecture tour
which the Marble Square church
granted him; and, when Barbara
learned that he was gone, she almost
felt relieved as she planned her work
with Mrs. Wards hearty cooperation
to see as many working girls as pos
sible for information, and to learn
from them the story of their choice
of life labor, and its relation to her
own purpose so far as helping solve
the servant question was concerned.
What Barbara learned during the
next three weeks would make vol
ume in itself. She did not know that
she had any particular talent for
winning condolences, but few days
experience taught her that she was
happily possessed Of rare talent for
making friends. She managed IN one
way and another to meet girls at

again Barbara looked up with a
blush, and Mrs. Ward could not help
admiring the girls pure, intelligent
face.
There was silence for a momeAt,
when Barbara went over her list OF
figures and memoranda.

west" Mr.. Ward suddenly exclaimed,
looking up from his paper. "The

BILE Square never did a wiser thing
than when it called him to its pulpit.
My only fear is that he may kill him
self with these lecture tours"
There was silence again, and Bar
bara bent her head little lower
over her work, which lay on the
table.
HE is certainly very promising
young man." Mrs. Ward said, and
just then the bell rang.
Shouldn't wonder if that was Nor
ton himself" Mr.. Ward exclaimed,
as he arose. 81 asked him to come
in and see us as soon as he came
back. I'll go to the door"
He went out into the hall and
opened the door, and Mrs. Ward and
Barbara could hear him greet Mr..
Morton, speaking his name heartily.
"Come right into the sitting-room,
Morton. We're there tonight. Mrs.
Ward will be delighted to see you"
Barbara rose and slipped out into
the kitchen as Mr.. Ward and Mr..
Morton reached the end of the hall.
She busted herself with something
there for half an hour. At the end
of that time she heard Mr.. Wards
hearty, strong voice saying good
night to Morton as he went out into
the hall with him.
After a few minutes Barbara came
back into the sitting-room, and TAX
ing her list of names and facts from
the table prepared to go up to her
room.
M. Ward was saying as she came
in: Morton seemed very dull for

A MEMORIAL Meeting
0hioans in Washington Paid Last
Tribute to McKinley's Memory.
Mr.. McKinley's Last Words Weres
"Nearer, My God, To Theej Zen
Tho 1t BE "a Cross, 1t Has Had
My Constant Prayer"

Washington, Oct. THE sons and
daughters of the late President Nc
Kinley's native state of Ohio, who
are now residents of Washington,
Sunday paid last public tribute to
the memory of their dead congress-
man, governor and president, in a
largely attended meeting at Chase's
opera house. The gathering was held
under the auspices of the Ohio Repub-
lican association, but was not confined
to Ohioans. About 5000 persons were
present. The decorations were appro-
pirate to the occasion. The marine
band furnished the music, and was
stationed on the stage directly under
large crayon protrait of President
Mckinley, which was draped in grace
full folds of black, the whole surround
ed by an immense American flag. The
meeting was presided over by Col.
j, II. Brigham, assistant secretary of
agriculture. Rev. DR.. j. H. Muir de-
livered the invocation, and addresses
were made by Rev. Frank NJ. Bristol,
the pastor of the Metropolitan church,
which the president attended while
in Washington; Judge Thomas H.
Anderson, Hon. Alphonso Hart, Hon.
ID. X. Watson, and Simon Wolf. of
Washington. The speeches were full
of expressions of love and honor for
the memory of Mr.. Mckinley, and
dwelt on the virtues and qualities
which had endeared him to the peo-
pie. Several of the speakers took oc-
casion to denounce the anarchist in
unmeasured terms, and advised that
drastic measures be taken against
them.
An interesting feature of the meet
ing was the reading of a letter from
DR.. NJ. d. Mann, one of the PRESIDENT
physicians, to Mr.. I. NJ. Sullivan, the
secretary of the association. 1t was
as follows:

Gods way. His will be done, not
ours" There was some further con
versation with his wife in the way OF
leave-taking, but this should not be
repeated. About an hour later, he
said to his wife, Nearer, my God. tc
