n driving storm kent away so many
OF the faithful that the customary
quorum failed to show I'D, That the
dozen present, however, must have EN-
braced some pretty good material,
feel sure, for as l look back, remem'
Der that they included future United
States senator, two or three able law
yers, one or two future successful
newspaper and literary men, and one
man who has since held half do2ea
prominent positions In his state.
Naturally with such n gathering,
even a mo quorum" meeting couldn't
prove tame. And though the regular
program was out of the question:
discussion of Shakespeare's intention
concerning the character of lngo was

mously voted to devote the evening to
story telling.
After various yarn-splnnlngs--wh
subjects don't matter here-some ona
turned to Mr. Spencer with a raaHesi
for one of his famous tales.

rest of us were eoually anxious for n
story from him He benon.
