The Round Dozen Club and ST
Patrick's Day.

Reported for The Robesonia n.
On Saturday afternoon, March
19, the members Of the Round
Dozen Club were cordially well
coined by Miss Virginia Whit
Fl I'D, at her home on Elm street.
Soon after assembling the
guests were presented with dain-
ty St. Patrick's Day cards, to
which were attached a most
unique contest. All minds
were searched for possible and
impossible Pats" who might fill
the following conditions: What
Pat loves his country? What Pat
is your father? What Pat is sad?
What Pat did you play in the
nursery? What Pat did you OBJ
tain on an invention? What Pat
do you put on old garments?
What Pat teaches you to make a
new dress? What Pat conde-
scends? What Pat do you walk
in? What Pat does the rain make :?
Misses Davis and Gill cut for the
pink bow, and it happened to
fall to Miss Gill. During this
hunt all felt as if they had made
a trip to Ireland; but when Miss
Proctor sang so charmingly two
Irish songs, all indeed seemed
transported to the Emerald Isle.
St. Patrick was still kept most
pleasantly before everyone in the
use of Shamrock-leaf doilies
when serving the daintily green
tinted gelatine, whipped cream
and cake.
This was the first full meeting
Of the club and there was one
visitor, Miss Matte Mclean.
The light laughter and merry
talk during the afternoon testi-
fled to the real enjoyment of all
present.

BIG SPEAKERS FOR ST. PAUL.
Best in Country Picked for National
Conservation Convention.

Washington, May 25.-Plans are go.
ing forward in fine shape for the ma
tional conservation convention to be
held in st. Paul in September. The
fact that former President Roosevelt
is to attend and speak has aroused
unusual interest in the event. Most
of the plans for the convention, so
far as the national association is con-
cerned, will remain uncompleted un-
til after the return of Clifford Pinchot,
president of the organization who is
now en- route from Europe.
Secretary Shipp of the association
has prepared partial list of the
speakers, which includes, in addition
to Colonel Roosevelt and Mr.. Pinchot,
James R. Garfield, former secretary of
the interior; Frank G. Gowdy of Den
yer, chairman of the conservation
commission of that state; Newton G.
Blanchard, former governor of Louisi-
ana; DR.. Charles r. Van Hise, presi-
dent of the University of Wisconsin;
George G. Pardee, former governor of
California; Paris Gibson, former Unit
ed States senator from Montana; SEN
ator Newiands of Nevada, Representa-
tive Scott of Kansas and George F.
Swain of Harvard university.
Because of the many requests
throughout the country for speakers
on conservation, Secretary Shipp said
that this list will have to be doubled
before the summer is well advanced.

WITH summer at hand. the Supreme

of 19OS-long enough ago to nave per-

that Attorney General Wickersham

from permitting the cat jumping the
fence and visiting the department of

Clerks in the department are willing
to make affidavit as to the feline's ca
pacity to devour rubber bands, which
at the high price of that article, the
officials say, is something to be con,
sidered.

VIZ ASHINGTON.-The millionaires
w of the senate have been pleading
ly requested by young country girl
of Virginia to donate their aggregated
income for "a hours in order that she
may be enabled to acquire such an
education as will qualify her for the
profession Of teaching school. She
feels that this would not in the least
impoverish them, while it would en-
rich her beyond hopes desire.
The ambitious girl who has made
this unusual appeal resides at Volney,
Va. She rescribes herself as being
fifteen years old and earnestly seek
ing to better her condition and pro-
vide some means by which she can
become self-supporting. Her COM
munication is entirely frank and fear
less and the writer is apparently con-
vinced that favorable reply will
come along at no distant date.

dressed her letter: 1.-THE Senate

LINE DRAWN ON MALT.

Fergus Falls.-Following the opin-
ion by City Attorney N F. Field a few
days ago to the effect that malt sales
can be prohibited under the provisions
of the city charter, Mayor D. M.
Brown today issued proclamation
directing that after May 81 no malt
shall be sold in this city. This is
likely to close several establishments
here, nearly all of the former saloon
keepers having opened places in which
malt is the principal drink dispensed
The mayor says:
"The somewhat prevailing idea that
beverages containing not more than 2
per cent of alcohol may be sold with
out license is not the law. 1t must
have been clearly the intent of a ma
jority of the voters to dispense with
the saloons for at least one year. If

ID REPRESENTATIVE EZEKIEL SAM
N UEL GAMBLER of Mississippi is
one of the most retiring and unob-
trusive members of the lower house of
the national legislature. Representa-
tive Gambler is more generally known
as "Tombigbee" Gambler because once
more than a year ago, he begged the
house not to forget that majestic
stream, the Tombigbee river of Mis-
sissippi in it's river and harbor appro-
priation bill.
Mr.. Gambler, according to the con-
gressional directory, was for nine
years moderator of the Tishomingo
Baptist association of Mississippi.
Therefore, since his appearance in the
halls of congress in 1901 Mr.. Gambler
has eschewed the theater. That form
of amusement was against the tenets
of his faith. Mr.. Gambler. however, is
an exponent of the under-canvas
drama. He likes the circus.

sofa, was operated upon at the Cobb
hospital in St. Paul.
The operation is designed to correct
an abdominal disorder from which Mr..
Day has been suffering for two years.
How serious the trouble was probably
Mr.. Day did not realize himself.
1t was little less than a year ago
that Mr.. Day sent his chief, the late
Governor Johnson, to Rochester for an
| operation for trouble similar in char
acter. That operation was fatal
Realizing that he would be compel
| led to seek relief himself, through an
operation, Mr., Day went ahead quiet
ly making his preparations. Only a
few very intimate friends knew before
hand of his condition and intentions.
Saturday Mr.. Day closed up his bust
ness affairs and walked to the Cobb
hospital, which is near the home in
the Midway district. where he under.
went the operation.
After it was over, DR.. Sheridan G.
Cobb who, with the assistance of DR..
]. e. Moore of Minneapolis, performed
the operation, pronounced it success
full.
Mr.. Day is resting quietly and easily,
with every apparent chance for quick
recovery unless complications, always
to be feared in operations of this char
acter, should set in.
The operation was for what is
known in surgery as seriously devel-
oping hernia. Mr.. Day was on the
operating table thirty-five minutes.
Speaking of it's afterwards, DR.. Cobb
said: "The operation cannot be de-
scribed as major operation, although
operations of this character are always
more or less serious. Mr. Day came
out from under the influence of the
anesthetic nicely and is bright and
cheerful"
