One OF the most interesting club meet
ings OF the year was held Saturday after
noon at Inn Wer with Mrs j. F. Whit
ney and Miss Whitney, who were in
charge OF the program. "Jean lngelow'

each member An interesting sketch OF
her life was given by Miss Whitney and
selections were read by Miss Lyman, Mrs.
Galusha, Mrs. Laird, Mrs. Whitney and
Mrs. Joiner.
A typewritten story OF Lawrence, y
cleverly arranged by Mrs Whitney, con-
tanned about fifty hidden titles of Miss

place. In a second contest, Miss Galusha
proved the winner, thus securing the real
story OF Lawrence in beautifully dec
GRATED cover.

Baseball in Chelsea

The talk Of organizing local baseball
league calls to mind the names Of those
Interested in the sport thirty or forty
years ago.
I'M 1855, an organization existed in
Nnelsea known as the Morrill, Baseball
s.ue, named, we believe, in honor Of
senator Morrill,. From the papers Of the

John A. Button of Royalton died sud
denly Sunday morning of heart disease, al
the age of GO years. He was attacked ter
DAYS before, and was relieved by his ply
stefan. Sunday morning he arose and
built fire. remarking to his wife that he
was feeling better, and took his bed until
the room was warm. As ne lay down, be
said that he would try to lie on his LETT
side, and died almost instantly.
Mr.. Button was a prominent business
man, having held many offices OF trust IN

reelected road commissioner, with in
structions to purchase two new road ma
chimes and run two gangs Of help.
He was born on the farm where he re-
sided, and rassed nearly all his life there.
His death was a great shock 10 the com
munity, especially those OF his most init
mate associates who best knew his worth
as a citizen and friend. Modesty, kind
ness and dignity were blended in his ma
ture in a remarkable way.

While men are to be our husbands we
must look up to them and depend on

They are more fitted to tight the

This is not a pessimistic view of the

Marriage as4 a. business .
~ <aM@~~~s Bu REV: MADISON C.pETERS>

in either case the slavery is the same.
Truly she who bar,ers youth and :ree-
dom for the gold OF age makes but a
poor bargain. one which she will sorely
regret the remaining years of life.
If she herself has thrown away these
blessings how hard indeed must be her
lot,
What can compensate their loss? Not
the love of age, II love It has to give
not the wealth of Croesus can atone
for ruined life
1t may be within the range of pos
sioility, but scarcely of probability, that
youth and age can unite In the bonds
OF love.
Some men lead such pure and honor
able lives that their evening OF earthly
existence reminds us OF beautiful
sunset over an unclouded landscape; it
attracts our attention and commands
our admiration
Such men are lovable characters:
they may and can excite love In tho
hearts OF noble minded women who
cherish not gold. but virtue and honor
But take the case OF the old libertine
the old roue, who has given the best
years OF his manhood To the service of
Mammon and the world and in whose
breast still fiercely flare the fires OF
passion like the last dying splutters of
burned-out candle,
He fondy imagines himself as In
the prime. not the sere and yellow leaf
of life, and with the fervor of a youth
full Adonis he lays Siege to the heart
OF his Inamorara. At first her womanly
instincts turn away in loathng from
ms hateful advances. but the dazzling
OF MS gold. like an ignls fatuus, leads
her on to her own destruction.
Women, young women! take timely
warning By the thousands, tens of
thousands OF your hapless sisters who
nave bowed before the golden calf
broken-hearted.
These are the lifebuoys on the sea
OF mismated matrimony to warn others
Oh the hidden, the unseen dangers.
Let them be your guides. let them en-
able you TO steer a safe course into
the haven OF earthly happiness-mar-
riase for love and worth alone-a holy
alliance which God will bless,
