Tales of the Town.

He was standing looking at the
magazines in store-window. The
sparrow was trying to take a wisp
of straw to help build it's nest on
the top of the building. The wind
caught the straw and waited it out
from the little sparrow's mouth,
down onto the side of the face of the
boy studying what Terrible Dick"
was doing. He said a few bits of
choace words expressly prohibited
by the Bible, brushed off the straw
wisp and walked away. The little
sparrow picked up the refuse and
again began it's weary trip to the
top of the building with it's nest
material. -

Woman's Club at Austin's.

The hospitable home of Mrs. Edwin
Austin, east of town, Was the scene of
the last and banner meeting of the
Lancaster Woman's club. On Mon
day afternoon bus load and several
other vehicles-some two dozen ladies'
were welcomed by our hostess, the club
treasurer.
An interesting program on SOME of
the landmarks of the state was carried
out as follows:
The Mound Builders. ..... Miss
............-...... Emma Schreiner
The Mounds Of Waukesha Co.. Mrs.
1880. ard
Sinsinawa Md. and Geo. w. Jones' :.

James Gates Percival. Mrs. A. Knapp
Potosi, Beetown and Wyalusing. Mrs.
Observation-Disclosures. RI. B. Showalter
Blackhouse Branch of Little Platte.
......---.....-...M Mrs. 2. L.. Scanlan
The papers and comments brought
out much local history and involved
incidents and traditions upon which
the press has thrown little or NO light.
Not secondary indeed was the in
tellectual feast to the ~Viclet Tea"
which Mrs. Austin SO daintily spread
before her guests. The tables, decor
ated in violet trimmed covers, with
violet favors, we're loaded with SO
many good things, and everything
served with such grace and plenty that
the town members all want to board
at Austin's for the summer. SO s
The quaint old farmhouse, with its
large orchard and barnyards, its spac-
ious flower covered lawns was ia itself
pleasure to the guest and add to this
such model entertainers as Mr.. and
Mrs. Austin, on beautiful sunny May
afternoon, surrounded by their little
ones. and their twenty to thirty guests
and you have picture which those
present will long remember.
The club whose interesting, and pro-
fitable meetings have been held for
the past year at the homes of it's men,
bers, will hold it's next meeting in
Sept. after the summer vacation. Our
able president, Miss Walker, retires
after two years of faithful service and
Mrs. A. Knapp, one of our active men,
bers, succeeds to the Office. Consider
ing it's present fourishing condition,
and with the new members, which
every year .ushers in, the club has
ample prospects for busy and pro-
fitable future.
Meanwhile we owe to Mrs. Austin
the plaaSure Of our worry hoct roootino
this year and the cordial thanks of
the Lancaster Woman's Club, whose
open doors invite every woman who is
interested in the integrity and ad-
vancement of home and town, state
and nation. A MEMBER.

The latest discovery made by the
scientific world is an anti-toxine for
laziness. The finer workings Of the
new dope have not been made pub
lie as yet, but they claim that the
laziest man in a community can be
given a hypodermic injection of the
stuff and he is immediately imbued
with an overwhelming; desire to
work. 1t is expected that tramps and
buns may be treated with the new
discovery and they will Immediately
commence to look for a job. It can
also be taken internally so that if a
man has lazy wife he can sneak a
little into her coffee in the morning
and by the time breakfast is over
she will have free the hired girl,
got her sleeves rolled up, and be
performing miracles of labor. Men
should be careful not to administer
too large a dose to. their better
halves, however, as it is said that
one girl whom it was tried on could
lift twice as much after taking it as
she could before. If the woman of
the house got too strong it might
prove an inconvenience rather than
a benefit. School teachers with
fractions scholars will find the new
medicine a great boon. In fact the
possibilities of the new remedy are
almost without number.

High School Notes.

The baseball team met defeat again
at Fennimore Saturday by score Of
4 to 1. The game throughout was
close and a very interesting one to
watch. AS Eustice was laid up and
Hymer unable to 60, Thompson and
Taylor went with the team. Before
the game Fennimore said Taylor would
not be allowed to pitch as he was a
city man. Fennimore plays from two
to three city men in every game but as
we we're to play in Fennimore they
had us where we had to agree to any
thing. I'm the first inning Fennimore
was shut out and Lancaster got. their
only score. In the next inning Fenni-
more got their only earned run and in
the third an overthrow by Jacobs let
IN two more runs. Another wild throw
to first let in one more run making the
score 4 to 1. After this the game was
very exciting, neither side scoring.
Lancaster had men on third several
times but their only chances to get
home were so narrow that they were
all caught at the plate. Fennimore
had one man on third who was caught
at the plate on throw from the field,
In the fifth inning Theady, the Fenni-
more catcher got hit in the eye with
foul ball and broke two or three
blood vessels. He was taken down
town and Tomas, the Fennimore
marshal took his place. He probably
goes to High School. Our boys say
that they never played baseball or
football game in Fennimore yet but
this great big drayman-marshal shut
ted in." The boys however wished he
had played the whole game as he was
easy. The boys will probably have an
other game with Fennimore soon. In
the game Saturday Schmidt on first
and Pennock played fine game and
Weir batted better than he has at any
game this year leading the team with
the stick. In the outfield Weir got
one chance and Meyer two all of which
were caught. Taylor went in to pitch
after Tomas went in for Fennimore
and never gave Fennimore a chance to
score, keeping very close watch on
bases and also pitching star ball.
The baseball team will 60 to Cass-
vile Saturday TO play.
Ask Walt Duncalf what he thinks of
gay society.
The Physics class did some work
with light Monday with the laboratory |
darkened.
The boys hope to have a game for
commencement afternoon with Bloom
ington High School.
The Sophomore Latin class has fin
lshed the translation of Caesar and
will start Cicero.
The annual will DE ready for bind
ing the last of this week. 1t will have
about 100 pages and is very we'll
printed. The Board would like all
those in school who wish to buy books
to leave orders with Paul Howell.
Friday afternoon the school will
give patriotic program and all are
invited to attend.
For opening exercises we have been
singing patriotic songs lately.

Woodmsn Warned by Kirk.

William T.. Kirk, the humorist, has
left Milwaukee for New York,
where he expects to have a wider
field for his work. 81 have had
something up my sleeve to say to
the Modern Woodmen of America
when they came to Milwaukee, !"
said MIR. Kirk" but inasmuch as l
am not to be here when they ar
rive have appointed William E.
Hooker my press agent, and have
left in his charge little advice,
with instructions to spring it just
as soon as am out of town. 1t
will have plenty of time to sink
deeply into their souls, as it should. !"
This is Mr.. Kinks offering:
TO THE WOODMEN.
Woodmen, spare that beer!
Touch not single stein;
Perhaps you'll think it queer
That should make this whine
But have seen men pinched
For getting in a row;
From truth I never, flnched
~ And I must tell it now
Beneath the brewery's shade
] fingered as a child;
The brew that brewery made
Was fresh and undefled.
But children are not men
Behold my fu1rowed brow;
L was not poorly then
You ought to see me now.
So Woodmen, spare that beer!
Go easy on the mugs;
Don't go away from here
Like loaded human jugs.
My father, one of thee,
Left money to his frau;
In youth you sheltered me,
And I'll protect you now!

AN ODE TC AUTUMN.

ALIAS, The crimson glory that touched the forest trees is
but the hectic flush that pre>ages death. Autumn stands alone
upon the misty hills and silently watches the yelled splendor OF
the bref pageant rs summer ga theirs up her robes OF glory and
like II dream OF beauty glides away. and as TIE Old Man would
say:
The corn is cut and in the shock, the seed Is on the holly
hook, and the summer girl has changed her trock.
The housewife counts her cans OF fruit, the hunter salies
forth to shoot, the football fend begins to root and Legislatures
think to loot.
The buckwheat cakes will soon be here and sorghum lasses,
too, will cheer, and Ger the children's faces smear its sticky mess
from ear to ear.
The nuts are falling in the wood, the squirrels store their
winter food, the pumpkin pies are now SO good.
The possum's in the 'simmon tree the coon dog holds d
Jubilee, across the field the rabbits flee as coming danger now
they see.
The bird dog hunts the timid quail, but strikes the flight
ened rabbits trail; the burr's got in the horses tail and the
autumn wind begins to vail.
The apple butter stews and bies, the thrifty housewife
stirs and smiles as she reflects upon the piles of fruit she's
canned in different STYLES.
Nov put away our p~eek-a-boo, the open work we rubber
through, or autumn winds will charge on you and turn your
tander pdt all blue.
Farewell straw hats and open hose, farewell my gauzy un.
derclothes, the truth we're nearly froze.
Bring out the heavy winter wear, with moth balls nesting
here and there, polnting the surrounding air with smells to
make a preacher swear.
The warermeon's had its day. the ice cream freezer is put
away, the oyster stew is now at bay and all are ready for the
fray"
