as a report of the national conven-
ton recently held at Buffalo, N. Y,
was given by Mrs. S. H. Iendt, who
attended.
She gave splendid word picture
of the sights in and around Buffalo
and of the convention. Her report of
the progress made by this society of
the church, which is composed Of
women only, is wonderful and great
enthusiasm and encouragement was
instilled in the local auxiliary.
The other numbers on the program
were much enjoyed. Mrs. E. K.White
conducted the program, the subject
of which was &c. w. B. NJ. Day and
It's Place Among the Special Days of
the Church" Mrs. E. X. Taylor gave
an interesting talk on the subject.
One feature of the meeting was the
plans and announcement made for the
picnic dinner which is an annual af-
fair of this society, to be held at the
home of Mrs. Geo. Gilchrist, east of
town, on next Wednesday, and Of the
lecture of C. c. Smith, of Cincinnati,

And he who wears it worthily may
challenge the world for a more hon.

exalted of men have not deemed it a
trifle to wear the bronze button.
Alongside of us and working with
us has been the Woman's Relief
Corps, IN which all loyal women may
have part. Acting as an auxiliary
they have done much to comfort those
whom misfortune has assailed, and in
the sick room of the comrade and his
family the representatives of the Re
lief Corps are found as angels of mer-
cy. Many homes have been thus
blest by their presence.
So also in harmony with the objects
of the post the organization of the
Ladies Of the G. A. r. are contribut-
ing to the relief and comfort of the
soldiers and sailors and bestowing
blessings upon their families. How
often has the story been told that the
soldiers of the civil war returned from
that fearful strife only to go back to
the several ayocations in which they
Iabored prior to the war, not a set Oh
demoralized men, but worthy citizens
of the great nation they helped to
save, and the members of this post
are no exception to the rule. 1t has
always been so with the American
soldier.

Bryant's Fine Memory.

Bryant had a wonderful memory.
His familiarity with the English poets
was such that when at sea, where he
was always too i'll to read much, he
would beguile the time by reciting
page after page from favorite poems.
He said that, however long the Voy-
age, he had never exhausted his re-
sources, He was scarcely less famil.
lar with the languages and literatures
of Germany, France and Spain, Greece
and Rome. He spoke several living
languages easily and correctly.
