Among the Clubs.
THE EUTERPEAN RECITAL.

On Thursday evening May Goth,
the first social entertainment of
the Euterpeans was given in the
Opera House, to the various clubs
of Logan and other friends.
The Euterpean club is compare
lively young one, this being the
second year of their organization.
1t is composed of twenty mem
bers, who comprise most of the
lady musical talent of our town.
The evidence of what they are
doing in their club life was shown
by their program of Thursday
evening. Logan has many clubs,
but none has the opportunity of
adding to the enjoyment and cul-
ture of our town more, than has
the Euterpean.
The opera house stage was beau
tiful with palms and other foliage
plants, and the room was filled
with an appreciative and interest
ed audience.
Miss Maud Cockins Of Colum-
bus, assisted the club in their pro-
gram, and her violin selections
were thoroughly enjoyed. Miss
Cocklns plays with fine interpre-
tation and full, sweet tone
Mr.. Robert Wright also assisted
1t is hoped the Euterpeans' club
life will be "a long one, and that
Logan will be privileged to spend
other evenings in listening to their
programs.

who live in the eastern part OF
J town, entertained the other mem
bers on Monday evening at the

"Women as Designers" being lee
| by Miss olivia Rochester.

The new enterprise. (Madison, Fla.) 1901-1908, 1903-12-10
when Philip Was Called Down.

The late Captain Philip was fond OF
relating an experience he once Ind
when he was stationed at the Cramps
shipyard in Philadelphia as inspector
of the cruiser New York, which was
then building there. One day, when
work was stopped for the noon hour
he saw a soldierly looking man come
aboard with some ladies, ard proceed
to show them about the ship with as
much authority as If he were the de-
signer and builder The soldierly man
stopped beside a couple Of ventilators
which were lying on deck ready to be
put in place, and, touching one of them
with his little cane, remarked, with an
air Of profound wisdom: "rhese are
the smokepipes," and approaching the
hammock MEETINGS and putting out his
gloved hand, he added; This is the
place where the heavy armor is put
on. This is to be one Of the armored
fighting ships, you know" This was
too much for Captain Philip, and so
he approached the party, and touched
his cap as he said: Excuse me, sir,
that is not the place for the armor'
That is hammock netting, where the
men stow away their hammocks dur
ing the day. And there are not smoke
pipes, but ventilators." The military
man drew himself up TO his greatest
height and surveyed the man in dunga'
rees with glacial dignity. Excuse me"
he said, with heavy emphasis on the
me, but am Captain Blank, of the
army, and think know a smokepipe
when l see one" Captain Philip de-
clared that it would have been almost
crime to take down a concelt Ike
that and he made no reply to the mil
itary man whatever; but turned and
went about his work, leaving Captain
Blank to finish explaining the intrica'
cies of the cruiser to his friends.-A

Leon Mignottes is known on the
boulevards for his ability to swallow
swords, bnyonets, poniards, arrows,
and things Of hard substance, carrying
on what he has made his profession"
in front Of the cafes, and making a
fairly good living. He is so proud Of
his feats that he often gives private
seances for the benefit Of his acquaint-
ances; and last night, after dining
with one of his friends, a dealer in
sponges, he took the knives from the
table one after another and passed
them down his throat. Then he said
he would cap the performance by
swallowing sponge, which he would
afterward extract from his stomach
with the end Of a knife. The sponge
was brought to him, he dipped it in
wine so that 1t would pass down cas-
lily, and then tried to fish it up with
the pointed knife, as he had prom
lsed. Unfortunately for him, however,
the sponge had swollen to very great
extent, and he was unable to extract
It. After some vain efforts, during

German Army Needs 'omcors.

Ihe German Army is badly in need
OF officers. This is due directly TO the
Increased cost Of living. officers need
more clothes and more expensive
equipment than they did formerly. ana
the number of high priced banouets
where expensive wines are drunk has
increased greatly. This, combined with
the decline Of agriculture, has kept out
OF the army many young men who
otherwise would have adopted that
profession. Moreover, officers are gen.
orally retired after twenty years SER

And they were not feet, they were little

Just step aside; but knew that wide
And terrified look, the day you died!

And cover from sight my care,
But when II is dark, in tears / tremble--

When the ghost moon steals down the

To. glide through my window bars,
wake and pray To be dead 10 follow
His stumbles between the stars.
