The Logan Mandolin Club

The Logan Mandolin Club is
fast gaining a reputation that
many a musical organization
will be envious of. The club
has for the past four or five
weeks, that is the Saturdays Of
of each week, been called upon
to furnish music at some place
where a crowd was desired.
They started in at the Heter-
lex sale, and from there went
to Woodbinc, then to Denison,
and played Woodbine a second
time, until now they have their
reputation we'll established.
There is no use talking, when
they get down to playing, the
air is full of music. Logan

A Mistaken Idea

The way we figure it the
town of Missouri Valley is in a
predicament. Two years ago
they secured licenses to sell
whisky independent of the
county by having over 5000 in
habitants. Since that time a
number of the shop men have
left there and they are a little
short. Persia Globe.
From the above we see that
Bro. Stewart has made the
same mistake that several other
of the Harrison county editors
have made. The question of
consent for the saloons in this
city was secured by the sigma
ture Of over 80 per cent of the
voters. The law is that if a
town has 5000 inhabita nts the
saloon petition has to be signed
by only so per cent Of the vot-
ers. If the town has over $500
inhabitants the consent can be
secured by 80 per cent of the
voters signing the petition of
consent. That is what happen
ed in this city. Mo. Valley
claimed over $500 inhabitants
consequently the saloons had
to get over 80 per cent of the
names of the voters to the
petition, which they did, by
getting almost 83 per cent.
Our newspaper brethren are
mista6enas to the 5000 inhabi-
tants question.
Fire from an engine on the

the meadow on Mrs. c. C. Lah-
mans farm east of town and
destroyed two stacks of hay
and burned over a part of the
meadow doing considerable
damage.

We are willing to bet four

The supper given at the
Presbyterian church yesterday
evening by the ladies of the
Fourth Division was a success
in every particular. A large
number of our people enjoyed
the elegant supper prepared by
the ladies. The receipts from
the supper was over $40. The
only objection we can see to
these church suppers is that
they don't come often enough.

AT New Theatre, March 81.

Of the singing of Miss De-
Bold, Prima Donna of the Irma
Opera Co., the Peroia Herald
said:
"Music Hall, at the Women's
Club, held the largest audience
of all the season last night, and
every person left the hall at
the conclusion of the program
me convinced that what has
been claimed for Miss De Bold,
namely, that she is a musical
genius, a sweet and accom-
plished singer, was fully YER
flied. The test was a severe
one, but she was equal to it and
sang the most difficult COM
positions with perfect ease, her
ability being especially notice
able in the execution of the
higher notes and trills. She
showed a remarkable memory
and French, German and Ital-
ian were equally we'll rendered"

Listening is not merely making use
of the two ears with which nature en-
dowed human beings The woman who
has truly learned the art listens with
her eyes. her mouth, her hands, her
whole attitude is that of listening, of
being interested in every word OF the
conversation.
Even a little child is attracted to the
woman who listens to what 1t has to
say. The woman who asks a small girl
what she is doing in school, what sort
of game she likes to play, where she
goes, and what she does, and listens to
her childish way of telling it, always
seeming to understand, is the woman
whom the child loves. She IS sympa-
thetic. and, intuitively, the little one
knows it.

is an extravaganza that is considered
quite the smart thing to indulge in.
The shops this year are showing
gowns and goods that are enough to
tempt any woman's mind at least a lit
tie bit from her religious duties.
Plaids are quite the smartest design
for spring dresses. Shepherd plaids,
broken plaids, large plaids. small
plaids, plaids with Pompadour figures,
plaids with polka-dots and plaids in
every color and plaids in many colors.
Bright colors and light colors are
very popular, and never before have
there been seen such bright blues,
greens, browns and reds as are going
to be worn this spring.
Bright colors are dangerous things,
generally speaking-that is. unless a
woman has an unusually large ward
robe. I heard some women discussing
the bright shades. and this is the ad-
vice the tall, well-dressed woman gave
her friend:
81 would not buy that bright blue, -
she said. I looked at her gown; it
was a soft gray and she wore a violet
hat.
There are many times when wear
ing too bright a gown is in exceeding
ly bad taste, besides which, constantly
wearing the same gown of a con-
spicuous color is not satisfactory

the skirt and waist shall be of the

even though there may be a coat or
wrap worn with it,

shades in gray and tan. made up in
light cloth. in soft silk. and in yelling

Hats to match costumes are still tn e

contrast of color. which is certainly
effective in many cases. when all one

the lines of thought, and she does not
sigh as if relieved when it comes to an
end; rather, she seems sorry.
A man likes a woman with a limited
perspicacity; he likes to feel that he IS
telling her something she does not al
ready know. Therefore, the clever wo-
man of today essays the role of pupil
many times when, were she less tactful,
she would assert herself and give IN
formation rather than receive it.
Men, women and children are prone
to fattery-the subtle fattery doled out
by a tactful woman-and the art OF
listening is but f1attery disguised Every
human being likes to feel that some one
is interested in what he has to say. and
when he finds a person who will listen,
and seemingly enjoy listening, he seeks
her out again.
A brilliant conversationallst IS an
addition to a dinner party, but What
would the hostess do if every guest was
possessed of that art? They would cut
each others throats, metaphor1cally,
and her dinner would be a failure So
the tactfuI hostess chooses good listen
ers for her guests, as well as brilliant
takers; each is necessary to her sue
cess.
To listen alone is an insufficient art.
It must be spractised in conjunction with
a knowledge of tactful questions whlch
will start the Conversations ball roll
ing along the right channel.
