nMal Report.

n1lAI Resort. has been notable one
.,.. in the history of the
Pierian circle, for in it we have reached
q high plane of thought and study. :.
The subject matter has been interesting.
and far above the average.
While it is true that in times past;
our membership has been larger, yet at
no time have we had all members as a
unit 80 interested in the work, and this
is more to be desired than large mem
bership and slight interest in the work.
The papers read before the circle dur
ing the year have embraced a wide
range Of subjects and have shown much
thought.
The musical part of our programs
deserves special mention. We are for
tunate in having members gifted in
this respect, and owe them our sincere,
thanks for their hearty cooperation in.
making this, the most enjoyable part
of our meetings, a success.
The circle owes to its president it's
thanks for his efforts to advance the
standing of the circle, and we are for
tunate that ne has seen tit to again as,
sumo the duties and obligations of the
chair. But neither the president or
the members could have done as much
without the hearty cooperation of
those in authority over us. To Warden
Wolfer we are deeply indebted for his
hearty and spontaneous support and
for his unqualified statement that we
would at all times find him ready and
willing to help us in every way. And
the same also applies to Deputy Warden
Glennon and Assistant Deputy Warden
COlligan.
Judging the future from the past
the Pierian circle will continue to adj
vance. 1t will possibly be the beacon
of hope to some fellow mortal in the,
future, and if we can in the remotest,
way help some one else to higher ideals.
or lOftier conceptions of life, shall we.
not give to the circle our best efforts ?
One year ago today we had 20 mem
bers; during the year we have enrolled
30 new members. \On this date we
have 30 members. Ninety-six papers
have been read before this circle during
the year, making an average of about
three reports for each member. The
average attendance has been 26L.
The Pierian circle is power for
good. Its members are bound to be-
better for belonging to it, and as thew
60 forth to face the world again. thew
can assuredly look back upon the time
spent in the meetings and in the study
required as not spent in vain. Let us
then strive during the coming year to
make the circle greater help ana
benefit than it has been before.

design Of its existence is lost sight q.
The cold critical analysis of work o.
art, be it statue, painting, or the SWELL
ing diapason of q musical masterpiece
is meaningless, until brought into con-
tact with the soul-satisfying ethics OF
emotion; that transcendency of feeling
which cannot be accounted for and
which bears no part in the domain
commonly termed reason.
Music appeals to the higher self; It
awakens the echoes of what is best I'D
man; its influence is exafting and en-
nobling; it reaches out and ministers to
those aspirations and moral qualities
inherently known as good. 1.-THE max

ton of harmonious language, COM

pleasure. Music is an educator in
itself; it interprets every human emo
ton, and embodies the inward feelings,
of which all other arts can but exhibit
the outward effects. !
That the Pierian circle is fully alive.
to the Importance of the foregoing is
evidenced by the musical interest dis
played throughout the long series of
meetings held since its organization
The hearty cooperation by its musical
members on any and all occasions
evinces the fact that the study for itself
alone is not the only potent factor to
be considered in its workings. A.
unanimity of sentiment in the work
tells of kindly feeling and all the attrib--
utes of good fellowship.
The rendition of the musical program
has invariably been met by an en-
thusiastic appreciation on the part of
its auditory members. Trivial errors,
have been overlooked; and adverse,
criticism relegated to the background
in view of the generally gUod work done.
by the glee club. Its concerted numbers
have been full of harmony, and the Sc
lections the very best obtainable. Much
of the success is due to the directress,.
Mrs. Colligan, who, with unfiagging zeal
and patience, has instructed and drilled
the various performers in their parts;;
and lending such assistance as would.
conduce toward symphonious whole.
The circle has been benefited thereby,
in that it has risen to more compre-
hensive appreciation of musical num-
bers and effects; thus fulfilling in part
the aim of it's existence-the acquisi-
ton of knowledge and higher stand
ard of thought.

Uniuue Venice.

Venice is unique and always as long
as she exists will be unique. The city
is built IN lit islands connected by be-
tween $50 and 400 bridges. There are
streets, all very narrow except in the
neighborhood of st. Marks, but the
gondola is the universal means OF
transportation. When you leave the
station, you find the salt waves Of the
Grand canal tapping against the mar
BILE steps and gondolas drawn up
against them like cabs and buses. If
you wish to keep all the illusions you
have cherished about Venice, enter it at
sunset, at the full of the San
Marcos night if the calendar permits
and depart before daybreak. Then you
will retain in your mind a picture of
the Venice of song, story and tradition
the ideal Venice.

The Little Finger Nail.

Forty years ago in certain parts of
the United States it was the custom to
grow long nails. I well remember
some of the swells and buffers who
devoted more attention to their little
finger nails than they did to their
teeth, and often have l seen the fifth
digit with Il claw on it an inch and a
quarter in length. The uail was car
ried in a stall. and on occasion was
split after the ann of Il steel or
quill pen, 50 that its wearer could sign
his name to a check. with it, says a
writer in the New York Press. The
trimming of nails today is an art
which gives employment to many pref
ty women who style themselves mani
cures. Nearly every first class, up to
date barber shop has It's manicure,
who delights the man needing i shave
or hair cut with IN innocent Irritation.
She dresses &arishly and has a strut on
her that would arouse the envy of a
saddle astride fox chaseress.

A G~Iuttonc,us Boy.

A merchant died ut Ispahan in the
earlier part of last century who had
for many years denied himself and his
son every support except a crust of
coarse bread. On a certain occasion
he was ~overtempted to buy a piece of
cheese; but, reproducing himself with
extravaganza, he put the cheese into
a bottle and contented himself and
obliged the boy to do the same, with
rubbing the crust against the bottle.
enjoying the cheese in imagination.
One day, returning home later than
usual, the merchant found his son eat
ing his crust, which be constantly rub

what are you about, you fool?' was
his exclamation. cit is dinner time,
father. You have the key; so, as I
could not open the door, 1 was rub
bling my bread against it, as I could
not get to the BOTTLE" Cannot you go
without cheese n day, you luxurious
little rascal? You'll never be rich"
And the angry miser kicked the poor
boy for not having been able to deny
himself the ideal qualification.

Kind words Mean Much

Cultivate kindness of heart, think
well of your fellow men, look with
charity upon the shortcomings in their
lives. Do a good turn for them as
opportunity offers, and. finally, don't
forget the kind word at the right
time. How much a word of kindness,
encouragement or appreciation means
to others sometimes and how little it
costs us to give it!
We do not need to wait for some
special occasion. When calamity over
takes g friend. words of sympathy and
encouragement are offered sincerely
enough, yet in certain respects. as a
matter of course. Such an occasion
calls for expression on our part. and
we naturally respond. But why wait
for occasion? Why not speak the kind
word when there is no special occa-
sion?-Philadelphia Ledger.

SENATOR JONES MlSQUOTED.
Ae Never Said Cuba Would Go to
Pieces in TWO Years.

Senator James X Jones has noted
an editorial squib in the TeXarkanian
to which he pleads not guilty and
mildly suggests that We make the cor
rection. says the TeXarkanian, which
we do by publishing his letter. which
more fully explains what he thinks OF
the Cuban cOnundrum chan we can eX-
press in our way. AS to where we got
our information. it WAS through some
editorial news note. in just what pub
lication we cannot recall at this time.
We have no desire to do Senator
Jones an Injustice. as We have always
been and are now one of his most
staunch supporters. Here is his letter;

The TeXarkanian, TeXarkana. Ark.
-GentlemenZ l have this minute no.
ticed in your paper the following;
Senator J. X. Jones says the re-
public Of Cuba will go to pieces in two
years. The senator should not take
SO pessimistic Il view of the young re-
public If meddling American polite
ians will be kept off the island the re-
public will come out all right.
am utterly at Il loss to know how
you could have heard that I had made
any such statement. earnestly hope
that the Cuban republic may live for
ever. and am not by any means salts
fled that it will be a failure. While
| have no doubt that President Palma
has a great many shoals and quick
sands to deal with. and will have
great trouble in keeping his little
government straight on account of the
intermeddling of American politicians
and other interested persons in the
island. still | strongly hope that he
will succeed and am very much i'll
| cined to believe he Will
have not said that the republic oi
Cuba will go to pieces in two years,
nor do | believe it. The people who
have fought as earnestly for thift5
years for liberty as the people of Cuba
have who have been all this time, by
hundreds and thousands, ready to die
for it. are pretty likely to appreciate
the blessings of their new government
SO keenly that il Will be carefully
guarded.
| am sorry that any story should
nave been printed indicating that /
have no faith in the success of the
little republic. It does me a great iA-
Justice. as it does the Gubans. | nore
You will correct this misapprehension

no intention to do either me or the
cause of liberty in Cuba amy harm by
your publication. Respectfully.
