 ATHLETIC CLUES MUSICALE.

An event to which both the social and musical world is looking forward to with unusual interest is the valentine musical which will be given Tuesday evening at o'clock at the athletic club. The prom thence and popularity of those who will take part in the programme adds to the artistic interest, while the many friends of the athletic club are extending every effort to make the musicale a success financially.

 The programme will be finished in ann pie time for all who desire to attend the reception at the Country Club. The musi- eale will reveal an exquisite love story which was written by Mr. Dahm-Peterson and Is as follows:
 Far up in the mountains she is waiting for him, who gave her his heart. And she dreams of spring that shall bring him back to her. and longing takes hold of er,longing as only lonely heart knows, but her love for him is deep and true, and so she patiently waits relying on God to bring him back
 Far away he travels and he thinks of her and of the first time his eyes looked into hers; and though some one may have taken her away from him during his ab- sence, he feels that he still will love her till he dies.
 l. .-1.o of him, and he seems to her the noblest man. she ever met and she feels that though she might never possess him. his love would would uplift her and make her feel proud. Oh. how she remembers the moment when in the bright moonlight he held her In his arms how she did wish that lovely night might have stayed for ever
 But sad seems life to him, as he travels on, and hardly does it seem worth living, till suddenly he sees her lovely face again before him. Life takes on a dif- ferent color and he sees it's worth again. And returning home he fuhlls his promise to her and amid the merry sing ing of the bridal guests the wedding takes place.
 The programme follows:

As a famous writer has said it is difficult, if not impossible, to convey to others information which you do your self possess.

 It is costing the taxpayers of the city s35000 year to regulate and investigate this question of employment. and there are great volunteer organizations like the Woman's Municipal League assisting in the work, but thus far the most inn portant results achieved lie in the direc- tion of preventing fraud The genius who is to bring domestic order to the New York household has not yet appeared

They are agents for White House Coffee, the best on earth. They are also agents for the celebrated Gordon & Dilworth's table delicacies, which have a world.re- nowned reputation.

Touehs Not Wanted in the Army.

From the Kansas City Star.
 ''Toughs are not wanted in any branch of the United States army, for men of that class rarely make good soldiers, ' said J. R. Stanley a sergeant at the re- cruiting station at Eighth and Main streets today. "The public does not know that something more than physical fitness is required of a man who wants to enter the army. Of course the re- cruiting officers cannot investigate the moral character of every recruit. If however. recruit shows that he Is of low moral character and takes pride in being q tough, he is refused permission to enlist Whenever a father brings a son to our station and wants us to en- list him we always investigate closely. Usually we find that the son is incorrig- ible."

"AUDACITY AUDACITY AGAIN
and Audacity AlVayS!!"

This phrase, once used to describe the characters and methods
Of the men who directed the French Revolution, has been made into
a pretty well-ftting cap for the American business man. Europeans
give it as the creed of the American Captain of Industry.
Here, among ourselves, when a merchant raises a little trade,
commotion-when be turns a dull or normal season into a busy and
profitable one throngha squirt of enterprise, making an "over-stockr
of goods vanish in "jigtime,' all through a surprising and unex-
pected campaign of newspaper advertising, his competitors merely
remark that he's got his nerve with bim!" and begin to form quiet
plans for making his squirt look slow.
But they realize that "Audncity, y yoked always with Publicity,
must be their chief reliance that this pair of forces must pull all
enterprises out of the deep ruts-must make the bigger store in
evitable-bigger expenses a matter of course-bigger net profits
possible.
When he first tries to drive Publicity and Audacity as a team,
the merchant has his misgiviugs of a runaway. He has visions of
being picked up by the Sheriff, and of being sent to the Foolish
Hospital And, once in a thousand times, this happens-but not
much otener than that.
The merchant who has never taken the chance of doing things
which require nerve and courage will remain a small store
keeper as well as the keeper of small store-and these two
things are not quite the same, you must admit-untI he acquires
enough audacity to determine him TO break loose and start after
