 It was the first occasion since the erection of the handsome structure that the ladies had had the pleasing of be- ing present at an. entertainment and they were enthusiastic over the audi torium made more attractive by the addition of beautiful pot plants.
 Captain Hohson was introduced by Hon. A. E. Gamble in a felicitous manner.

Only a few present had heard him before and only these were prepared for the polished, logical, magnificent address To many he had been merely the hero of Santiago, but last night they realized that he ranks as crater. historian and patriot. All are indebted to the Woman's Club for the opportunity afforded them. Mrs. Charles Neumann has been very Ill since Monday and her sons.

Sud- denly the man he was leading slipped lurched forward out of his grasp, and fell to the ground full length. As he did so something jingled and two silver dollars rolled from his pocket and lay glistening in the darkness Quickly the tramp's right hand shot outward and grasped the money, his left hand quietly slipping into the pocket which a moment before had contained the coins. A little loose change and another silver dollar re- mained. Breathing heavily the drunk en man remained as he had fallen. For a moment the tramp knelt in sil- ence. He was hungry.

 Some one passed him and he looked up. The street was dark and un- familiar. He must inquire his way. The stranger who had passed was some distance ahead; he called to him, but the stranger did not slacken his pace
 What! did they think him SO low that he was not worty the considera- tion shown to a dog? But he would show the stranger-would overtake him and at least force him to answer a civil question.
