sUNsHINE CLUE CREED.

From Mrs. Clara B. Burdette, Member
 of Advisory Board of California State
 Sunshine.
 T believe in the Golden Rule for Club women: Do right unto others. regardless of what others do to you.'
 T believe in the afternoon club Kfe for
 T believe in evening club life for men and women together when it does not rob the home of father and mother.
 T believe that woman has no right to undertake any work whatsoever outside of the home. along the lines of philan- throphy, church, temperance or club life, that does not emanate from the home and in Its final and best results return to the home. Home must always be the cen- te, but not the limit of woman's life.
 'I believe in equal rights in the family for father and mother in intelligence, af- lection and filial respect. These the club should foster.
 'I believe in nine-tenths of the club members doing the work ,and one-tenth the crtticising, instead of the reverse.
 T believe in individual responsibility for every interest of the club, mutual sympathy and appreciation of results. "I believe no woman has a right to &C., cept a place on any committee unless she serve faithfully, promptly, intelligently. and Is willing to stand by the results of n6R An0iVluuaI acton. 'T believe that women should have a moral responsibility regarding financial
 matters in the prompt payment of dues | and pledges. and a comprehension that | as no other phase of life can be carried | on without money. neither can the en- l larged club life
 T believe in the value of a minute, and ! that thievery of time on the part of one | late member from those in waiting is re- | prehensible. Railroad trains do not wait \ why should immortal souls? "I believe, out of consideration for oth. ! CTS, in removing the hat in all public as semblies."
 l believe in occupying the seat farth | to come. and for same reason, occupying front seats first
 I l believe that club members should re strain themselves from whispering or thu
 rustling of skirts or papers during clul sessions. believe no woman should seek or us official position for self-aggrandizement or club affiliations for stepping stone | only, hut that she should utilize her op portunities for the altruisms of life. I believe the character and good nam of each individual member of the cly should be as sacredly guarded by al other mAmbeGs as are those of the fam
 fly. and that the use of dishonorable DO
 liticaI methods in club life for womel
 will beSths death-knell of pure, womanl, organizations.

Reid, the organizer. although a shut in. has infused so much enthusiasm into this band of little workers that it is the wonder of the community in which they live. It is the aim of Mrs. Reid to work principally among children. although the aged are remembered also. Many little ones who had been unable to go to Sun day school have been clothed. The little workers are on the alert for ways to raise money for their work. Peep shows | at a penny a peep are common.

two older children almost gave me nervous prostration, for theirs were the worst cases of the cough ever saw. One was left with asthma--as is sometimes the result in whooping cough.
 mentioned my own experience and the New Orleans practice afterwards to some charming physicians in North mer-how often physicians are charming and some of them said very witty and amusing things on the subject. One of them. and must say he was the most delightful of them all, made a note of my "foolishness' and declared he'd get up e corner on whooping cough" Having taken my name and address too, I SUD- pose, or, possibly remembering it. he sent me about six years afterwards several New York papers with accounts of the convention of a Medical Associa- ton Git may have been the National As- sociation) to which were reported cases of cure of whooping cough by vaccination.
 Grandmother.
 When Zola was invited to address the Club women of Paris. he did so and said to them: Stop being parasites and Do Something!' This does not apply to our club women, for they do Do Something, but it could be made to read Do some thing wise. pfactlcaI-tangible.'
 When one reads Dr. Lyman's letter on the subject of the young girl who asks for some way to get an education, 1t makes one feel that this is the one ever present way to Do Something for the well fare and happiness of growing woman.
 This comes next to relieving the press ing wants of older grown women who per haps have not in their youth had oppor- tunities, of either mental or physical de- velopment
 The blindness of ignorance can be re- ieved. and there is no more pitifui cry than one pleading for sight through the sealed windows of the dark soul prison to which ignorance condemns one.
 The ignorance which has the wisdom to recognize itself Is not hopeless. It de- notes lack of opportunity. not of under standing or capacity.

three sermons preached recently on the beauties of scattering sunshine One of them was from Rev. Mr. Perry of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, who closed by saying: Take heed lest the of pleasure or the dreams of idle indif- ference rob your life of its richest and noblest results. These are lost when ever you do not scatter sunshine all along your way" In the course of his sermon Mir. Perry quoted this bit of truth:
 Its curious what a sight O good a little
 thing will do: How ye can stop the fiercest storm when
 1t begins to brew, An take the sting from what commenced
 to rankle when twas spoke. By keepin' still an treatin' 1t as if it wuz joke; Yen find that ye can fill place with smiles instead O tears. An keep the sunshine gleamin' through
 the shadows O the years
 By jes' laughin'. Folks sometimes fail to note the possi-
 bilities that lie Tn the way yer mouth is curvin' an the
 twinkle in yer eye; It aint so much the doin' es the way
 thing is did; An many a homes kep happy an con-
 tented day by day, An like as not a kingdom has been res
 cued in a day
 By jes' laughin'.''

OIL CARS EXPLODE.
Terrible Disaster mt OIenH, y. ~, I'm
which over a score Are
burned to Death.

Clean, n. V, March 10.--Over a score
OF persons were burned TO death in
the railway yards here while watching
a fire in a string of oil tank cars that
had been wrecked and some Of which
were on fire. An immense crowd had
been attracted by the blaze and both
sides of the yards were thronged
when one of the big tanks exploded,
throwing great showers of the burn
ing liquid over the spectators. A wild
panic resulted and those showered
by the oil ran toward the more for
tunate and stampeded them in every
direction. Dozens Of persons started
to run with their clothes in flames and
had barely started when rivulets Of
burning oil carried the flames TO the
tank cars still intact. A third explo-
sion followed, still repeating the hor-
rors of the others and adding new
victims TO those already screaming in
agony.
At one o'clock this morning % bod
les have been recovered from the
wreckage. Some Of them are burned
beyond recognition, only the trunks
and skulls remaining. AS nearly as
can he estimated As are seriously in
jured, and il Is feared many OF them
will die. Scores who were badly
burned were able TO go TO their homes
and are not counted in this estimate.
The trouble was started by spe-
cial freight train on the Erie, which
was made up principally Of oil cars.
The train broke in two, and in trying
TO get them together the entire train
was wrecked.
