Champ Clark.

Champ Clark, one of the most con-
spicuous figures in American politics..
has made his exit from the stage.
Had he lived until today he would
have retired from public life, but not
from active participation in public af-
fairs, and it is probable that two years
hence, his health permitting, he would
have resumed his scat in the house of
representatives, where for 26 years he
served as national figure.
Rugged in frame and frank to the
point Of bluntness in his dealings with
men, Champ Clark won his spurs in the
house through sheer ability. When
congress came into the control of the
democrats, his election to the speaker
ship but the recognition of his
merit. He#was fighter of courage
and stamina, but his pugnacity did
not lose his friends in the opposition
ranks. "Uncle Joe" Cannon, whom he
succeeded as speaker, said Of him:
eve engaged in many contests on the
floor without alternating our friendship
or respect for each other. We did not
strike below the belt"
AS a lecturer and writer Champ
Clark won high reputation. He was

Mudgett Residence Burns.

Last Thursday evening the resi-
dence of Mrs. Daisie Mudgett was de-
,stroyed by fire. No one was occupy
ing the house although Foster Lowell
had rented it and on the day of the
fire had just moved in his furniture.
The fire was discovered about nine
o'clock and the neighbors, who were
quickly summoned, managed to save
the barn and other outbuildings but
the house and practically all its con-
tents, including the furniture of Fos-
ter Lowell and Mrs. Mudgett, were de-
stroyed. Mr.. Lowell's loss was part
ly covered by insurance as was Mrs.
Mudgett's also. The house was val
ued at $4,000 and carried an insurance
of $1,400, while the furniture valued
at $500 was insured for $4.OO.
Mrs. Mudgett wishes to thank her
friends and neighbors for the assis-
lance they rendered.

His loss of the democratic nomina-
ton for the presidency in 1912 would
have crushed a less courageous man

about the dancing class we have made
arrangements to start another class
at once. We will give a course of six
two-hour lessons for six dollars. This
class will be held once each week. All
those wishing to join this class can
make arrangements with Mrs. Ander-
son, who will be at the Merchants
hotel on Friday and Saturday Of this

made before the class starts, as no

started. 12-1c

SOCIAL EVENTS.

Tuesday evening the gentlemen of
the Friday evening dancing class en-
tertaincd the ladies at dancing par
ty in the Odd Fellows hall. About 40
couples were present and the music
was furnished by the three-piece
orchestra. Refreshments were served
with the color scheme of brown and
white. The gentlemen proved most
capable hosts, attending to all the;
preparations for the party without the
advice or counsel of any lady.
The Friday evening dancing club is
great success. Mr.. Lane, the dane
ing master, and his assistant, Mrs.
Anderson, are most capable instruc-
tors and very generous in the amount
of time they spend with the class. In
fact the dancing is proving so popu-
lar that second class is to be organ
lied.
Mrs. L. E. Bergman celebrated her
wedding anniversary last Monday
evening by entertaining eighteen of
her friends. All the guests present
were ladies except Ed. Nelson, who
was included for Mr.. Bcrgman's spe-
cial benefit. The evening was spent in
playing cards and refreshments were
served,
| Word has been received from Wash

It is reported that the gentleman is

or any other official of high rank he
has in Myra Dickey a lady who will
grace his position. All Princeton

to the bridal couple.

The word vaudeville is a corruption
of Vaue de Wire, the name of two PIC
turesque valleys In the Bocage of Nor

lating to some story Of the day. These
songs were first composed by Oliver
Basselin, fuller living In Wire. They
were popular and soon spread all over
France, and were called by the name
OF the place where Basselin composed
them, namely Vaux de Wire. AS the
origin of the term was lost sight of II

CALL FOR UNWRITTEN BOOKS
Public Libraries Give List of Works
Reading People Would Seem
to Appreciate.

The Publishers Weekly has collected
from public Libraries list of unwrit-
ten books that should be available
Included in this list is a book on cook
cry practice an illustrated monograph
on canoes or a history of Moslem art,
an up-to-date, comprehensive American
book on iron and steel metallurgy.
Histories of Armenia and Oregon
are alike demanded. A book on cob
blestone flrepIaces, with dimensions
and drawings, is wanted, and another
on European peasant costumes.
Enough is said on the lack of new
etiquette book when 1t is stated that
the latest good one Is dated 1913.
A work to prevent amateur garden
ers from pulling up a plant instead of
a weed" would be as useful as an In
dex to essays or a treatise on septic
tanks. The field In concordances Is
enormous.
Anyone with ten years to spare can
start Browning concordance at once.
"A history Of the novel from the very
beginning and In all countries" Is
rather more ambitious proposal, pre-
paratory reading for which might oc-
cupy few decades.
Balzacs phrase for books he
dreamed some day of writing, made IA
miliar by Stevenson, was enchanted
cigarettes" Here are enchanted ciga-
rettes by the gross for publishers. We
may hope that some Of the needed
books mentioned by the libraries will
be supplied.
Or will authors persist In writing
the books they want to write instead
of the books that are ded?-New

Deceived by Reflection.

The rumor that there was such a
place as Eel Dorado was so lnsistent
centuries ago that Humboldt, the ex-
plorer, made a special investigation,
and located the origin of the fable in
a territory between the Essequlbo and
Branco rivers In Guiana. Great
deposits Of mica-slate and tale so
fiecked the rocks surrounding a small
lake that the sun did indeed turn the
area into a vast golden mirror, but as
far as the value of the deposits we're
concerned there was nothing TO wish
for. The temples, houses and public
buildings of beaten gold were mere
ly the imagination Of those who had
glimpse the lake, but had bee npre-
vented by natives from reaching Il.
