The motto used for time. 1t is

stoical and teach endurance, but
something more is needed. That is
Hope, and Hope breathes in every

wise to occasionally laugh at them.

CHlUTAUQUA

The bi-weekly meeting of the Pr
erian Circle was held in the Chapel
Hall last Sunday afternoon. Roll
call disclosed the absence of two
members
Under the order of new business,
the President rose to speak. He
informed the members that with
this meeting the Circle would adj
journ for the mid summer vacation.
In few well chosen words, he re-
ferred to the profitable and enjoy
able season through which the Circle
had just passed. As seemed fitting,
he took occasion to extend to the
officials and particular Assistant
Deputy Warden Sullivan, his sim
cere thanks for the kind assistance
rendered the Pierians in the past,
and for the courteous consideration
the interests of the Circle received
at their hands. He further sug-
gested that as token of apprecia-
ton, today's meeting be adjourned
in order to allow Mr.. Sullivan to
enjoy the entire afternoon to him
self. Mr.. T. J. w. made a few brief
remarks that conformed with those
of the President. He concluded
with motion to the effect that after
the reading of one paper the Circle
would adjourn. The motion being
duly seconded, was carried unani-
mously.
5 Mr.. E. d.. better known as Erid,
Who has so ably filled the Office of
Secretary during tile past season,
rendered his resignation, the same
to take effect at once. In terminal
ing his fruitful efforts in the interest
of the Circle, Erid smilingly adj
mitted that only the prospect of
more cheerful surroundings which
an early release assures, prompted
his action. On motion of Mr.. w.
C. Van D., seconded by Mr.. G. c.
r., the duty of appointing a sue
cessor to the Office of Secretary, de-
veloped upon the President. Young
Steady received til e appointment
which was approved by the major
ity of the members present.
Mr.. ]. H. III. read the paper Sc
lected. which was entitled A Tray-.
cling Nuisance and described
specimen Of travelling salesman
whom all would concede was worth
the title of the paper. This was
Mr.. HIS initial paper, but was SO
entertainingly written and well de-
liyered that all will look forward
with pleasure to his future efforts
as entertainer Of the local Chautau-
quans. A brief discussion followed
the reading of this paper, which
concluded the program.
After a few remarks by the Presi-
dent, there was put and carried the
motion which adjourned the Circle
until after the summer vacation
the opening date to be decided later.
The remaining papers on today's
program were turned over to the
Secretary for publication in The
Mirror at some future date.
