Mrs. Martin stepped out Of the store
room door on to the clay porch at he
end of the long grass house and locke d
the door securely behind her. For it
was down on the Congo river, in Africa,
and she knew by experience that ev-

lock and key.

For part of the way there was bare

caught sight of piece of brown paper
I folded and sticking in one of The palm

. the back side.
II wonder what that can be?' she
mused. who could have put it there?

She took it down and unfolded It,
and found. to her great surprise. a lit
tie lump Of butter inside. Now, butter
costs GO cents a pound in the Congo,
and missionaries usually make little
Of it 60 as far as possible. Mrs. Martin
tried, as rule. not to use more than
one pound month.
But even while The stealing of the
butter was n grave offensc, il looked so
funny there in the paper that Mrs. Mar
tin smiled.

bright though, struck her. ~ know

Then She turned the corner and APP
pearcd on the back-end porch, where
the tea table was already spread, and
her quest waiting for her. But there
were no boys in sight.
She laid he greasy paper down in the
center of the table, took her place,
asked a blessing and began to eat chat

Not long after the little cook came

into the house.

Mrs. Martin had noticed him. and
knew that he had never seen the paper
before.
Soon the ,iackwash came along the
front porch. looking very d'gnitied and
the soul of innocence. She kept on
chatting. and at the same time
watched him closely. He, too. glanced
at the table and saw the butter, and
the swift expression which passed over
his face showed that he at least knew
the paper aud The butter. and had seen
them before. But he passed on and
into the house for few minutes. and
then came ON again ard looked at he
butter, and then at Mrs. Martin, and
back AT he butter. The expression on
his face had grown 50 funny that Mrs.
Martin could not help but smile and
say:

away.

Ida Grove, Jan. 23.-Our Civics Club
has inaugurated a new movement and
proposes to give the town a genuine
club room that will suit all ages and
conditions. The Civics Club first Sc
lected a board of seven directors as fol-
lows: Mrs. Heilman, Mrs. Stakemiller.
Mrs. Wilcox, Mrs. Moorehead, j. w.
Reed, Fred Breasted and William Ander-
Son. This board has the general man
agement of the room, which is called the
Ruskin Club. The purpose of the club.
as stated in the articles of Incorporation,
is the moral, intellectual. physical and
ethical advancement of it's members.
Under the general management are Or
geniZed different departments, which are
independent in their management, but
must supply their own needs. The man
agement will be very liberal and expect
TO furnish occupation as we'll as amuse-
ment to its membership. The directors
have rented the fine bank room formerly
occupied by the Anderson-LiptonC Com
pany, and will be permanently located
room. A. present there is a membership
OF about seventy. Funds are to be pro-
vided by annual dues Of 81 for adults
and so cents for children and contribu-
lions from those friendly to the move
rent. So far the movement is meeting
with general favor.
