for the employment of friendly Wis

| That this committee hold office for

at once to engage competent nurse

The following directors were then

| Mr.. Bliss.
The club has membership of seven
ty-fve on its rolls.
The following address was delivered
by Doctor Burdette:
| This dinner being set by club of
men on st. Valentine IS Day, and this
being land where every day is spring
time, and the year of spring being the
time when, Mr.. Tennyson says, young
mans fancy lightly turns to thoughts
of valentiens and all the appurtenances
thereunto appertaining, the subject of
this address naturally suggested itself.
But ! see around me some men who
could give ne aces and spades on this
subject and then whip-saw me; and |
see some men who are Just investigat-
ing the topic, and are rejoicing in that
sweet omniscience which possesses one
when he suddenly discovers that two
and two make four and tries to get a
copyright on it. And still others there
are whose hearts are as yet locked in
armor plat of proof, and disdain St.
Valentine as a little tin god with naught
but make-believe pretensions to omnip.
otence. These are the ones who will
have it the worst when they do get it.
The longer man puts it off, the higher
the fever runs, the more erratic the
pulse, and the more capricious the ap-
petite.
cit was said ages ago, by one wiser
and greater than st. Valentine that it
was not good for man to be alone.
Which is another way of saying that
man is hauling mighty close to the
rocks when his wife goes to the coun-
.. try. For man is not, and never was, a
wise creature when it came to taking
care of himself When you hold human
nature, especially masculine human nat
ure, up to the light it is full of thread
bare places and moth eaten patches.
"Man is born young, with many
, ready-made troubles and no teeth. And
sometimes it would be money in his
pocket if he had less of both and none
of either.
"For the troubles, he could, as he
: does, make them for himself as he
grows older.
} AS for teeth, when he has none, he
is happy, his food assimilates, his diges-
ton is perfect. But when he cuts the
first one, he has commissions, as fast as
he gets another one it begins to ache.
AS the last one comes in, the dentist
; is pulling the first one out. And when
he has become accustomed to them, and
they have grown to be vital necessity
J to his happiness and comfort, he loses
: them all. And the dentisS fixes up his
mouth with porcelain grin, and roof
J plate built to hold raspberry seeds, sc
! that the last state of that man j:
worse than the first. This also is vanity
