THE BELFAST WOMAN'S CLUB.

"Tall oaks from little acorns grow" and that
epitomises the story of the Belfast Woman's s
Club, recently organized in this city. few
years ago a number of ladies began learning
the art of basketry under the instruction of
Mrs. E. R. Pierce at her home on High street.
Mrs. Pierce, it may be mentioned here, is an
artist in many directions, and her flower pieces
and landscapes in water colors are works of
merit and highly priced by their possessors
We do not understand that this club had any
formal organization, but from the nature of its
work it was known as The Squaws. Later
Miss Evelyn P. Morrison, who had graduated
from an art school in Chicago, taught leather
work and bookbinding. and Mrs. Pierce soon
after took up metal work. The interest grew
as these branches were added to the work OF
basket-making and at a meeting held in the
Pierce home one winter night it was suggested
that a real club be organized, that all who
wished might join. That night the Pierce res
idence was burned and the embryo Club was
homeless. Mrs. Charles H. Walden, one of its
interested workers. then offered room in her
home on Court street, and there the Arts and
Crafts society was organized. Later room
in the Marsh house on Church street was
leased, appropriately furnished for the use
Of the club and there its meetings have been
held, the various articles made by the men,
bers, including embroidery. bead work. bask.
cts, metal work, jewelry, hand wrought. loom.
woven rugs, ETC.. offered for sale, tea room
maintained during the summer months, and
sales of home-cooked food held twice week
and orders received for such cooking. About
a year ago literary department was added,
holding meetings semi-monthly at which re-
views of new books have been given and
papers of much interest read. The member
ship has steadily increased, has now passed
the hundred mark, and is still growing. Mrs
Pierce had been the president since its organi
zation, and it is due to her untiring work that
the club reached position that warranted 6
change of name and widening of its scope o1
activities The change of name to the Belfast
Women's Club and details of the organization
were published in The Journal of May 7th
The arts and crafts department, the domestic
science department and the literary depart
ment will be continued as before, and among
the new departments to be added will be one
on civics, in which much interest is manifested
and through which it is hoped to benefit the
community. Each department will have it,
chairman and committees for work, and with
SO experienced and capable a leader as Mrs
Amos Clement, the president. the progress
and prosperity of the Belfast Woman's Clut

There were informal meetings of the Read
ing and Civic departments at the club room
last Friday afternoon at which matters of in

KING VS., PAULEY
CASE SETTLED
JURY GIVES GRANDMOTHER
$3.50 FOR CARE OF
CHILD.

Keosauqua, Oct. 21.-The case of
King VS.. Pauley which has been in
court here for several days was
brought to a close Tuesday. In the
case Mrs. Sarah King of Milton, widow
of the late James King, brought suit
against Henry Pauley, her son-in-law
of Chicago, for the keep of his son,
her grandson, Bruce, who died year
ago in August, being II years and four
months old His mother, Lettie King
Pauley, died at his birth and gave
Mrs. King the care of the child all his
life.
James King left a will providing his
wife sole heir of the estate during her
life time, at her death the daughter,
Lettie Pauley was to become sole heir
and at her death her heirs were to be-
come sole heirs. Mrs. Pauley's heir,
Bruce Pauley, died before the grand
mother which would leave the son-in'
law sole heir of the King estate, hence
Mrs. King brought suit for the main
tenance of the grandson. The jury
rendered verdict of $3.50 in favor Of
the plaintiff.

hear Casper Schenk of Des Moines,
candidate for the Office of United

Clyde G. Sparks. who in his intro
ductory speech. outlined briefly the
policies of the party and gave a short
historical sketch Of it's origin. Mr..
White, who was the first speaker,
stated that the progressive party stood
more for principles than for any
office to be gained. He charged that
at the present time the successors to
Governor Clarke and Attorney Gen
eral Cosson, in two years from new,
had been chosen by the republican
party and that this was not popular

GRAPE VINE HAS
ITS SECOND CROP
NOT CONTENT WITH ONE HAIR
VEST, RAINBOW VINEYARD
DUPLICATES IT'S WORK.

One of the oddities of the present
season which in some parts of the
county produced the second crop of
pears on the same tree, has been de-
monstrated on grape vines in Ottum-
wa. The vines are those of Ross Rain
bow at sol Lillian street in South Of
tumwa. Mr. Rainbow had nice lot
of grapes which were picked at the
usual time and little attention was
given his vines since until week or
two ago when he discovered the sec
ond crop of the vinous fruit forming
on the vines. A cluster of these still
immature and green were brought to
the office of The Courier and are al
most fully developed although the col
oring is undergoing but slight
change thus far. Not caring to risk
their being spoiled by frost, Mr.. Rain
bow picked his second lot of grapes
and found that he had some forty
pounds suitable for jelly.
