The mud these days IS something
fierce. Yea, verify, it sticketh like
a poor relation, but we can stand
it, for the ground is receiving the
moisture so much is needed to pro-
duce good crop next season.
There is no frost in the ground,
and the thirsty earth is drinking
in the wet at a lively rate. This
soil makes road like an asphalt
street when it is dry, but when it
is soaked as it is at the present
time the roads are almost impass-
able. Midland Star.
Rev. Dickensheets and family
experienced what might have
proven a very serious accident last
Monday when their team became
frightened and ran away over
turning the buggy and throwing
its passengers to the ground. We
learn that Mrs. Dickensheets re-
ceived bruises on the head but
otherwise no damage was done ex-

April Club Meeting.

There was large attendance at the
April meeting of the Woman's Club and
the lecture by Mrs. Estelle Hurll of New
Bedford, Mass, on Portraits and Por-
trait Painting, proved delightful. Mrs.
Hurll is an easy, natural speaker, and
her enthusiastic interest in her subject
could not fail to enthuse others. She
began with the portrait painters of
Florence in the 18th century. The paint
ings of that time were practically all
designed for mural decorations but the
artists used their friends or famous
people for models and the paintings were
therefore portraits. Besides these por-
traits Mrs. Hurll showed a few in pro-
file and few taken from the medals of
the period. The 18th century was one
of development, the 10th one of achieve
ment in portrait painting. The great
painter was Leonardo da Vinci and Mrs.
Hurll dwelt particularly on his Mona
Lisa which is the first modern portrait,
and Leonardo the first artist who was
psychologist as we'll as portrait
painter. In Titan the power of idealiza-
tion is shown, in Holbein is manifested
exactly what he saw. The 18th century
was the golden age of portrait painting
and all the great artists lived north of
the Alps. Mrs. Hurl spoke of Ruebens
and Van Dyck, Rembrandt and Franz
Halls and showed typical examples of
their work. The numerous photographs
used helped greatly to fix all Mrs.
Hurll said in the minds of her hearers,
and all felt that they had been both en-
tertaned and benefited.
Mrs. Elizabeth J. Stanley, 1st vice
president, presided at the meeting in the
absence of the president Mrs. Mackin-
non, in Washington. Four new members
were admitted: Mrs. L. B. Hartshorn,
Mrs. c. F. Boynton, Mrs. Walter Eamer,
and Mrs. B. 6. Howe. Resolutions were
read by Mrs Adelaide N. Ely on the
death of Mrs. A. H. Mcleod and by
Mrs. Elizabeth ]. Carpenter on the death
OF. Mrs. c. M. Stone. A committee on
nominations for the annual meeting,
consisting of Mrs. Ruthy P. Fairbanks,
Mrs. Susan H. Smith and Miss Carrie
Underwood, was announced. Letters
from Mrs. Ashton. president of the
state federation and from Congressman
D. J. Foster were read. Mrs. Ashton
asked if some member of this club would
be willing to speak before other clubs,
and the president announced that Miss
Griffin will speak on nature work. After
the lecture Mrs Robert P. Clark played
a piano solo, To the Spring" by Grieg,
to the enjoyment of all.
Announcement was made of meeting
of the art class on April II, of the
current events class ON April 13, and of
the music class on April r..

leg and suffered other injuries. The case
was tried in 1908 at the April term of
Windham county court, and the plaintiff
was awarded verdict of $9OOO. At
that time the defendant made a motion
to have verdict set aside on the ground
that the amount was excessive. The
case was brought to Supreme court on
exceptions to the admission of certain
evidence and to the refusal of court to
set aside the verdict. The case was
argued for the plaintiff by e. W. Gibson

fell on a large wire, which was used to
bale hay, and drove the wire 2 inches
under the scalp, making very ugly

through the head, but when the doctor
arrived it was found to have only pierced

The Stork Is Kept BUSY.

Early yesterday morning the stork
Knocked at the window Of 514 Indiana
street and made william Noonan the
possessor Of a nine pound curly-head
blonde boy. The father was agree
ably surprised while at. his desk at
the American Steel company. The
neighbors, however. claimed that the
entire credit for this new arrival is
due to the continuous prayers of the
newly-created grandfather, the father
OF Mrs. Noonan, the well-known attor-
ney, William II. Sickman. who was
sitting in his office sin the First Ma
tional Bank building, all day, and when
a reporter attempted to interview him.
said: My dear boy, I feel so happy
that I wish to every one who arrives
at my age to be the possessor Of such
a great title as grandpa, and mind you,
If you please, grandpa of a nine-pound
boy" At this instant a tear dropped
from the eye of the grandpa, and he
