No lady should permit any ordinary obstacle to present her attendance, for they are sure to leave with some new ideas that will assist them in their busy lives, where hearts and hands are both full After being served with cake and lem onade, the ladies took their leave, 10 meet next week with Mrs. Luther.

Grating power from waterfalls ada

in railroading and the utilization Of
a resource of nature. Experts have
reported that the water power going

sufficient to run all the railways of
the world. Through countless years
this wealth of nature has gone un-
claimed.
This will not be the first applica-
ton of electricity to railroading. All
OF the New York Central's terminal
trains are so operated, and alectri-
cally driven engines are promised in
the Chicago terminals. A great por-
ton of the New Haven railroad is
operated by electricity. Between
San Francisco and Berkley, Oakland
and other points the Southern Pacific
employs motor engines. The Great

The Current of Life.

Don't look for flaws as you go
through life;
And even when you find them
1t Is wise and kind to be somewhat
blind
And look for the virtue behind them
For the Cloudiest night has hint OF
light
Somewhere in its shadows hiding;
1t is better by far to hunt for star
That the spots on the sun abiding.
The current OF life runs ever away
To the bosom of Gods great ocean.
Don't set your force 'gainst the riv-
er's course
And think to alter its motion.
Don't waste curse on the universe
Remember it lived before you,
Don't butt at the storm with your
puny form
But bend and let it go DER you.
The world will never adjust itself
To suit your whim to the letter.
Some things must go wrong your
whole life long,
And the sooner you know 1t the
better,
1t is folly to fight with the Infinite,
And go under at last In the wrestle
The wiser man shapes into Gods
plan
AS the water shapes into a vessel.
