A Splendid Rain.

A good rain fell here Friday night,
and again Sunday, in all amounting to
probably nearly 11s inches. II came
steadily but slowly most of the time
and was q great benefit to the wheat.
Hardly any rain had fallen for SO days
prior to this and the wheat was in need

Mrs. E. NJ. Syfert, retiring presi-

Numerically opposite to those OF
Mrs. Hall.
Il was especially grateful to the
Omaha club for sending me to the BIZ
ennial at the beginning of my admin
istration, for much of the inspiration
had for carrying on the club work
was received there. Such far-reach-
ing movements as the baby health

Club WomenDe Whether Benefits
Are Derived from General Federation

Cars. kings and kaisers on their
lettering thrones, the spirit of one
kind of lese majestic that breathes
through this thoroughly democratic
age may have something to do with
the situation in the Lincoln Woman's
club, the president of which, Mrs.
F. NJ. Hall, last week urged the dis
solution of the tie that binds the
Lincoln club TO the General Fedora
ton OF Women's Clubs. Mrs. Hall
deems it unwise to any longer pay the
dues necessary to belong to the gen.
eral federation on account of the
meager benefits received in return
for the money, according to her judg-
ment. 49,
The motion did not carry, but it
precipitated the liveliest discussion
the Lincoln club ever heard.
The time has come when the in.
efficiency of the methods OF the gen.
eral federation to minister to the
needs of individual clubs is a much
discussed topic among clubwomen,
especially where the membership fee
is small and the membership large"
said Mrs, Hall.
The Lincoln club is the largest in
the state, with membership of
,584. The membership fee is 81 and
the per capita tax l0scents.
Il am frank to confess that I do
not feel brought back $50 worth of
ideas received at the last biennial
which could be applied to the work
of the club. ] know Of no programs

CHIVALRY NOT YET DEAD.
A Cripple's Tribute to the Man Who
Would Have Fought for
Him

Always there is something which
shows the innate kindness OF the
American man of the street" and
sends me home with a glow about
my heart. (The writer is lame man,
| have collected a great store OF
examples OF this kindness, but !
shall give only one, first, because it
is peculiarly typical, and, next, be-
cause it shows how completely the
spirit of chivalry survives in every
day life.
was coming down from a base
ball match at the Polo grounds in
New York one summer afternoon, and
about OILS landed on the corner OF
Sixth avenue and Fourteenth street at
the moment when the large shops in
the neighborhood were pouring forth
their swarms Of employees, most of
whom were quite clearly of alien birth.
| wanted to take a street car, but as
| stood by the track one after an
other came up, only to be filled by
scrambling mob which paid no
slightest attention to the man on
crutches waiting to find a place, till
| turned in despair back to the side
walk to wait till the rush should pass.
Suddenly there stepped up to me
two young men, most evidently Amer
lean to the soles of their shoes, one
Of them so angry that I thought l
must have done something to en-
rage. What to get on carr" he
almost snarled. "Yes," said | in my
most conciliatory tone, hoping to turn
aside the wrath to come. You don't
stand much chance here" oh" said
|, that doesn't matter; I'm in no
hurry. III wait till the crowd has
passed" "Wel., if you are in hurry,
I'll punch some of these people in the
eye and put you on"
That was absolutely the purest
spirit of thivalry. Lancelot or Gala
had, when they went about redressing
the wrongs of distressed maidens, did
no more than that young man offered
to do. Sir Thomas Mallory has en-
dowed them with stately language,
as against the East Side vernacular
