I postponed until last Monday,
when the Club met with Mrs

being good. Each member pres
ent contributed 81 to the club
honse fund.
The Clubs year book did not
provide a program for the meet
ing, but every member was ex'
pected to take some part, and as
each part was to be in a sense
original and out of the usual, the
impromptu program contained
just enough humor to make it one
of the most thoroughly enjoyed
sessions ever held by them.

Edward B P6lre.

The Memphis Commercial Ap
peal of last week, speaking of lh'
four high officials whose deaths
were caused by the recent dis
tressing accident, has this to SAY
of Mr.. Peirce.
Edward B. Peirce was scarely
older than Maj. Wright. His earI5
life WAS a struggle. His father
died when he was n mere child
\ good mother made il possible
for him to attend the University
at Oxford, in Mississippi. There
graduated and then went to Van
Buren,.
"A railroad attorney heard him
one day in court presenting the
facts of a lawsuit. The strength
of the young man determined the
railroad officer TO secure his ser-
vice. He accepted subordinate
position with q road that is now
part of the Rock Island system.
Promotion rapidly followed and
a; the time of his death Mr.. Peirce
was assumed TO be one of the
great lawyers in his particular
line of work.
"a general attorney for one of
the great railroad said that he
had the rare ability Of bringing
litigaDts into "a compromising
frame Of mind.
"a worried railroad official who
went to Mr.. Pelrce for advice al.
ways left him strengthened aud
encouraged.
"Recently Mr.. Peirce specializ-
ed in a branch of law which is the
outgrowth Of railroad rate legis.
lation and IN this new field he was
second to no lawyer in the coun-
try"

He'd multiply, too, and again he'd d.

Again he went at II, he took It apart
And put It together with all of his art !;
He figured. he ciphered, he totaled and

While crossing out all OF the sums on
the page.
"At first 1t seemed just mathematical
chaff-
But what is the half of half and a
half?"
He got into action once more with a
vim
BE hanged II the problem was too much
for him.
He called up each method. recalled every
rule.
Applied every system he learned while
In school

and said:

And then forgot it 1t gives me the

He cried. why. l figured out How old

And never was sure that he had IT work
