Those in the City Not Popular With
 Others in the State.
 New York city club women are not very popular with the members of Wo- mems clubs in the western and middle parts of the state," said club woman the other day. They say of us that we only go to the federations because of the politics and that we all have an of flee in view. There was tremendous op- position to our plan of having the new manual training school for girls in the vicinity of New York city. The up- state women claimed we wanted to reap all the benefits and expected them to pay for it. This was not true, of course, but probably we do have an eye to business in some instances,
 II recall once when we were on the verge of losing resolution we were trying to get through the federation. As we lacked only one vote to pass the resolution we held an important eau GUS and decided that the only thing to do was to organize another club and enter it at once. We held the meeting out in the lobby and while the meeting took a recess for our caucus, an Audu- bon club was created, delegates ap- pointed and everything all fixed up. Just as we were about to re-enter the meeting room a woman happened to discover that the delegate we had se- lected to represent the Audubon club had bird on her that. Of course that would never do. We looked at each other in dismay. No woman dared to change hats with the delegate, for some one would be sure to notice it, and call us down about it. If she wore the hat with the bird on it she would sure- ly get into trouble. tell you women have no mercy. Sometimes they ride over each other roughshod.
 However, one ingenious woman saved the day. Taking penknife from her purse, that tell-tale bird on the hat of the delegate of the Audubon club was ripped off the delegates hat, and was replaced by tule chou which the

" At Ottawa, Kansas, smart preacher delivered sermon to children on "The Bread of Life" He had three loaves of bread in the pulpit, which he cut and passed around. One was coated with sugar and candy, but it's interior was filled with stones. Another was fair to look upon, but it's inside was bitter as gall. The third was an ordi- nary looking loaf, but it was fresh and sweet throughout. The lesson did not turn out just as the preacher expected. The boys ate the coating and candy off on the fresh bread.

A number of Parisians who were in the siege have decided to erect monu- nent to the memory of the pigeons that carried the dispatches which kept up communication with the outside world. It will consist of a pedestal surmounted by bronze vase, on which will be cast a group Of the birds that proved of such utility to the French. The com rnittee includes the names of many well known literary and scientific people. The gratitude comes somewhat late, for after the war the pigeons in question were sold by auction and commemorat- ed in pigeon pies.

nounced the conduct Of the case as a
remarkable proceeding, devoid Of
honesty, decency, shameful spectacle
whose base and sordid motive was to
vote the contestant $4,000 In salary"
He declared that it was an act Of
theft and said they would not tamely
submit to this larceny

dressing the Republican side, "remem-
