through the gates on the first day
of the show.
This is grange day at the fair
and members of the different

were in evidence. The Roy band
greeted the visitors and eniiven-
ed the threngs of sightseers who

MEMBERSHIP FEAST
OF CLUB A SUCCESS

II there was any member OF
the Tacoma Commercial club
who attended last nights first
membership dinner without
clear idea of the obligations OF
citizenship. he left the banquet
table with a new understanding
of the subject.
Charles Richardson, one OF the
best after-dinner speakers In Ta-
coma, explained citizenship and
its obligations in one of the most
forceful and well-phresed adj
dresses ever heard in the big
banquet hall.
Non-hypocrisy of politician and
voter; goodwill toward fellow
men: loyalty to home aud
friends; individual responsibility
and honesty of thought; gener-
oslty, kindness and charity all
of these things comprise the OBJ
legations that go with citizenship.
and Richardson dwelt long and
enthusiastically on each subject.

the pair of married lovers were
over. The little one turned into
my son Rudolf'-ths sacred
center OF all my effort, hope and
love. In order to be one day a
good teacher for him. or rather
in order to follow his studies,
and be able TO become his intel
lectual companion, l wanted TO
acquire myself all the knowledge
that 1 could. and with this view
reading was the only amusement
allowed myself.
But when change was
wrought in me- G.. when my
Joy in life awoke again-then all

longer, then I saw all at once
that ethnography and anthropol-
ogy, comparative mythology, and
all the other 'ologies and 'gra-
phies were insufficient to set my
longings at rest, that for q young
woman in my position life had
