til two years before she had queened
it over the Glendale set both by virtue
of her husbands business and political
Importance and because of her own
skill as an entertainer. Then the new
pulp mill had been started at the upper
dam, and Renfew Bryan has brought
his family to live in Glendale.
From the first the two women had
crossed swords. Mrs. Bryan, who had
humbly followed other leaders in the
city. now asserted her right to the
title in the small town, and by the
brilliancy of her entertainments she

fore Mrs. Paulding had realized what
was going on.
Her own entertainments became
more ambitious, and for the last year
the advantage had lain first with one
and then the other. To have Fred fall
victim to Nancy Bryan was the
worst blow she had sustained, and
had she known that Nancy's mother
was as furious as she at the turn af-
fairs had taken she would have de-
rived small comfort from that fact In
blissful ignorance of Mrs. Bryan's
state of mind, she elected to believe it

To add to the discomfort Of the situa-

Mrs Bryan was to celebrate her re-
turn by garden party of unusual pre-
tentiousness.
A number of her city friends were
to make up a house party. and there
was to be dancing on the lawn to the
music of an orchestra famous through
out the state.
In her calmer moments Mrs. Pauld-
ing would have waited for revenge,
but Fred's admission of his love anger
ed her so that she lost her usual eau
ton and announced a party for the
same afternoon and evening. She en-
gagged a brass band for the promenade
music and arranged for a troupe of
Arabian acrobats to perform on the
lawn.
Glendale society was shaken to its
foundations, and as each move was
communicated to the other contestant

Story of Lincoln.

In connection with the discussion
regarding the omission of the motto
'tIn God We Trust" from the golden
eagles, q correspondent of the st.
Louis Post-Dispatch is reminded of
the story told of Lincoln at the time
the greepbacks were issued during
the Civil War. 1t was then proposed
by the secretary of the treasury and
others that some scriptural text
should be placed on the bills, and
the president was asked for sugges-
ton. He replied, proposing "Silver
and gold have L none, but such as l
have give l thee" 1t may we'll be
understood that this closed the dis
cussion. The story appears to be
even more apropos of the issue of
clearing house certificates.

To the Memory of w. J. Mailing

Gently over the purple hills
The yellow sunlight lay
Like a halo-it fell across the bier
OF our friend who slept in the calm
embrace
OF the second birth-free from every
care.
ASLEEP in Jesus, blessed sleep,
From which none awake to weep"
Slowly the night had drifted into
dawn,
The cleaning stars had ceased TO glow
And yet the watchers dreamed not
That unaware an angel Of light
With bis cycle Of death was there
Waiting for the spirit of Willis
Friend and husband
To enter the unseen barque for the
Fathers home
Beyond the sun-kissed dome.
Like unto tired child,
The white lids closed, and he whom
Ina loved with a wonderful love
Has passed from here to theclty above
To join the circle of kindred dear
Who were waiting just beyond
The pearly gates with happy song.
Then weep not Ina for Willis dear,
He is safely housed, never fear;
And just beyond the ether blue
He win watch the boatman
Cross the bar with you, his idol Of
EARTH
Ina-his jewel allotted him here.

The belle of the Ozark, Mary
| Slocum, is another one of the char
acters in "Old Arkansaw" that is
true to life. Fun bubbles from
every word, expression and action oI
this rural type. In fact "Old Man
Slocum's gal" furnishes more amuse.
ment than is usually seen in a whole
evening entertainment.
John Rogers, a true, generous
hearted old "Hill-Biily" and his
adopted daughter Sue, are strong
types that have never been portrayed
upon the stage except in "Old Ar
