Club Notes

The Woman's club met with Mrs.
Hine Wednesday afternoon. Mrs.
John Wire gave report of the State
Federation meeting at Emporia.
which was supplemented by Mrs. F.
C Blanchard. Among the best things
on the program at Emporia was
"Music and Myth of the American In
dian" by Mrs. F. P. Strong and Miss
Josephine Hills, who carried off hou-
ors for the Woman's club and the
Fortnightly Reading Circle. The En-
poria Gazette said of this number:
''Mrs. Frank Strong, of Kinsley, gave
an EXCELLENT paper on 'Music and
Myth of the American Indian and
her subject was illustrated by Miss
Josephine Hills, of Kinsley, on the
piano. This was exceedingly inter-
esting, and was given the closest at
tention. Miss Hills illustrations
were all good but perhaps the most
effective were The Approach of the
Thunder 6 od,' and combination of
AN Old Mans Love Song and
DAWN :"
Mrs. Hines part of the ''Symposi-
um on Kansas Club Work" was full
of suggestions for work, and more
careful consideration of the business
side of club affairs.
No town of It's size had so large a
delegation at Emporia as Kinsley.
The Woman's club delegation only
lacked one ct being full, Mesdames
Hine, Strong and Blanchard being
the delegates, and Mrs. Wire repre-
senting her club as president; Mrs.
Tatum and Miss Hills were delegates
from the Fortnightly club, and with
the state president, made seven club
women present at the Federation. The
next state meeting is in Topeka.
The Woman's club friuged the Kan
asas badges for the Biennial at St.
Louis Wednesday afternoon and the
executive board is under many obli-
cations for this help.
The paper Wednesday afternoon
was given by Mrs. E. N. B. Hobbs,
her subject being Modern French
Literature" It was exceedingly in
teresting, and many excerpts from
critics were read. She said no one
was considered as cultured in France
unless they had read certain classics.
This gives q good foundation for con.
versation among the French, rs al
have knowledge of the same books.
| The next meeting is at Mrs. 81. L
Schnatterly's.

two great parties.

hand, the opposition is mer

pleadings to convict them Of
imbecility and insincerety. In
painting his opponents in
such dark and forbidling roI

Senator Vest on the Dog.
Milwaukee Wisconsin.

milwaukee, WISCONSIN,.
As a brief example OF t h,
facinatIng horid eIoqusnre OF
the late Senator Vest it would
be difficult to find a passage
more likely to livp in the
memory OF those who read it
than the following. 1t was
the pproration OF his famous
address to the jury in a suit
involving a dog.
Gentlemen OF the jury, the
best friend a man has in the
world may turn against him
and become his enemy. His
sou or daughter NAV prove
ungrateful. Those who are
nearest and dearest to us.
those whom we trust with
our happiness a d good
name, may become traitors
to their faith. The money
that a man has he may love.
1t flies away from perhaps
when he needs 1t most. A
mans reputation may he
sacrificed in a moment OF i'll
considered action. The peO
pie who are prone to fall OH
their knees to do us honor
when prosperity ia with us
may be the first to throw
the stone CT malice when fail
ure settles its cloud upon our
heads.
1.-THE one absolutely unset
fish friend that n man can
have in, this selfish worlI, the
one that never proves ,un
grateful or treacherous, il his
dog. A mans dog stands by
him in prosperity and in poy
erty. in health and in sick
ness. He will sleep on the
cold ground where the wintry
winds blow and the s snow "
driving tiercely, if only he
may be near his masters
side, He will kiss the hand
that has no food to offer. H.
will lirk the wounds a n d
sores that ca me in encounter
with the roughness of t h q
world. He guards the sheep
of his pauper master as il be
we're a prince. When all otner
friends Il e eser t he remains.
When riches take wings and
reputat ton falls to pieces he
is as constant in his loye as
the suninitsj ourney through
the hpa vens. If fortune drives
the master forth an out"ast
in the world, friendless and
homeless, the faithful dog
asks no higher privilege than
that of accompanying him.
to fight against his enemies.
when the last scene OF all
comes, and when death takes
the master in it's embrace.
and his body is laid away in
the cold ground, no matter
il all other friends pursue
their way, there brside his
grave will the noble dog be
found, his head between his
paws. his eyes sad. hat open
in alert watchfnlnpss faithful
and true even in death"

 -Z IS BAcKr.s BY 0DELL Platt s,s Woodruff Have Not
 ASandoned Fight. Declare They VIII Carry the Contest to the Floor of the Convention-
 A Preliminary Session

Saratoga, N. Y. Sept. 13.-Unless the forces behind the candidacy of Lieu tenant Governor Frank W. Higgins change position before a vote Is taken, there Is every indication of his nomi- nation by the Republican convention to head the State ticket as candidate for Governor.
 sBut one name is mentioned in op- position, that of former Lieutenant Governor Woodruff. All talk of a third candidate has. been abandoned, and tonight the contest lies between these two men.
 Governor odell and his friends are outspoken in their advocacy of MT. Higgins and tonight claim to have 7os votes assured in his favor. The con- vention's total vote Is e74.
 United States Senator Platt and Mir. woodruff's advocates do not by any means admit this situation and state most emphatically that they will carry the fight to the floor of the convention.
 Higgins Nomination Probable.
 Many believe, however. that MT Higgins will be the unanimous nomi- nee of the convention.
 The convention will hold a-prelimi- nary session tomorrow. so that there are at least. thirty-six hours during which an agreement may be reached. Governor 'Odell, chairman of the Re- publican State Committee. said tonight:
 "The sentiment of the convention seems to be In favor of the nomination of Lieutenant Governor Higgins. for Governor. and think he will be 'nomi- mated. I believe the majority of the delegates are for him."
