AUTUMN

Today the peace of autumn pervades
the world.
In the radiant noon, silent and notion
less, the wide stiffness rests like tired
bird spreading over the deserted fields to
all horizons its wings of golden-green.
Today the thin thread of the river flows
without song, leaving no mark on its sandy
banks.
The many distant villages bask in the
sun with eyes closed in idle and languid
slumber.
In the stiffness hear in every blade of
grass, in every speck of DUST in every
part of my own body, in the visible and
invisible worlds, in the planets, the sun,
and the stars, the joyous dance of the
atoms through endless time-the myriad
murmuring waves of rhythm surrounding

ing was the serious object of my life."-

held over the several topics brought be-
fore the circle, but, he likewise touched
gently but firmly on few minor defects
he had noticed. To have faults and short
comings pointed out as adroitly and con-
siderately as Mr.. W. handles his criticisms
acts as stimulus to greater attainments.

A LIFE ON THE OCEAN WAVE

Henry Russell, an Englishman who had
transplanted himself to America and be-
come famous here as a composer-teacher
of the pianoforte, wanted some stirring
words to form the basis of new song.
He went to Epes Sargent, assistant editor
of the New York Mirror, and persuaded
him to write the lyric. The thing was not
done Immediately, of course; but the poet
placed himself in receptive mood and
waited.

CHAUTAUGUA CIRCLE

he regular bi-weekly meeting of the
Pierian Chautauqua Circle, was held in
the school room Sunday afternoon, Oct.
10th. The meeting was called to order
by Pres. o., eighteen members answering
to roll call, six of whom were new MEM
bers.
Before assigning the new members to
their respective classes Pres. o. gave a
short address of welcome to them, COM
bined with an explanation of tie aims
and aspirations of the circle. He cited
the cases of hundreds of men who had
been greatly benefited by membership in
the circle since its organization in 1890.
The value of systematic, persistant re-
search was brought out and the fact that
it depends upon each individual whether
he belongs to the drone or the industrious
class; whether useful knowledge is stored
up during the leisure hours or the time is
allowed to pass without profit.
Minutes of the Sept. 26th meeting were
read and approved after which library
books stationery and library slips were
distributed by class leaders.
A list of five applications for member
ship was approved by the circle and re-
ferred to the Deputy for approval.
1t was decided that the years work was
to be carried out along the same lines as
the past season, i. e., the Chair to assign
six or more subjects to each class from
which individual members may choose a
subject to write upon. AS this would re-
quire considerable thought and time the
giving out of subjects was deferred until
the next meeting, but, so each member
would have something to ponder over the
circle was divided into two parts, two
simple subjects assigned for a 500 word
essay from each member with prize for
the best explanations. Details of the con-
tests will be settled Oct oath and recorded
in the minutes of said date.
A vote of thanks was given to Mr.. F.
E. w., who left the institution since the
last meeting, for his gift of four desirable
volumes. These have been added to the
Chautauqua library and as they circulate
among the members many kind thoughts
and best wishes will be given to our for
mer Vice President.
A paper entitled "Vanity and Misdi-
rected Ambition" was read by Mr.. L. J.
w. For several years past Mr.. w. has
presented paper on the first call, always
being ready and willing to help things
get started. His papers show careful
study of the various subjects he writes
upon and he possesses the knack of narra-
ton.
Mr.. c. S. E. read paper entitled, "The
Art of Systematic Thinking" This be-
ing too broad subject to cover in a sim
gle short paper Mr.. E. explained that he
was touching only the salient points with
a view of showing that thinking should
be\ done Systematically to be productive of
the best results.
A general discussion by the members
was had after the reading of each of these
papers many different views being ex-
pressed. AS the subject was by no means
