The magazine, Fusil, gives the following very splendid definition of what a gentleman is: “A man that's clean inside and outside: who neither looks up to the rich or down to the poor; who can lose without squealing, and who can win without bragging; considerate to women, children and old people; who is too brave to lie, too generous to cheat and too sensible to loaf, and who takes his share of the world's goods and lets other people have theirs. 4 .. Christmas is drawing so awfully near that it makes a fellow shudder as he notices his dilapidated old pocket book and wonders if the end isn't about near. About ten days yet, and if yon have put off your shopping, do it at once. There will be plenty to do next week, without having this agony to go through. Merchants tell us that the before Christmas trade is not as large as usual for this time of the year, but this week opened like a live one, and probably will be the banner week of the Christmas year.

About eighteen members of the Ruth Circle of Loyal Daughters, the Christian Sunday school class taught by Mrs. A. D. Artman, with a fewguests held their fortnightly meeting with Jessie Magley on West Monroe street Monday evening. During the business period the young ladies decMed to give a chicken dinner some Friday in January, and a committee comprising Misses Dessie Beery and Vivian Dawson and Mrs. Artman was appointed to arrange for the menu, and the securing of a building. Following the business period, a Biblical contest, in which letters were to be transposed to form names of Biblical characters, was in order. There were nine ties for this, prizes finally being' awarded to Vivian Dawson and Maud Cowley. Then followed “Under the Daisies," fortune telling with riddles and charades and conversation to pass away the time. A luncheon in semi-buffet fashion was served, each member finding her plate which was marked by a slip of paper bearing her ’ initials, these initials being also those of adjectives descriptive of the one for whom the place was intended. The club will not meet again until after the holidays, when Miss Reba Quinn will be hostess. Guests other than class members were Miss Eola Genii s and Mrs. Martha Stevens. This meeting was also in the nature of a farewell for one of the members, Miss Lena Dickinson, who left this morning for Monroe, where she will visit with a Sister a few days before going to her home at IJsbon, Ohio, and then to Cleveland, Ohio, where she will enter the Glenville hospital nurses' training class for a three years’ course.

The St. Vincent de Paul society will not meet Wednesday of this week as erroneously announced, but on the

I last Wednesday of the month, when i Mrs. Joseph Knapke will be hostess.

MEMORIES OF PLEASANT MILLS. Poem Written by E. F. Gilpen of Indianapolis, Former Resident. “There’s no place like home," and Adams county is just as good as the ■ best. Such would seem the case, at . ' any rate, as the following poem on | ■ “Memories of Pleasant Mills,” written I i by E. F. Gilpen of Indianapolis, a for-, 1 mer resident of Pleasant Mills, and | j brother of Mrs. J. W. Merryman of, ■ this city, shows that he still thinks ' with loving tenderness of his old ' i home: A rambling child of nature wandered 1 deep into a wood, And stopped beside a clear and' crooked stream, To rest and flirt with nature, for a rest would do him good, And was lost to all surroundings in a dream. Time may steal our love for nature once stamped upon the heart; Should pain and sickness follow In its twain, But it can't erase from memory, nor from its sweetness, part; When once in youth ‘tie stamped upon the brain. And I saw the tittle village where I wandered to and fro, Where once my willing feet were running wil<j; Was caught and carried backward to the scenes of long ago. As tender as a mother lifts a child. Again along the river, I roamed its banks at will; Where once I sought the mussel and the clam; Where Luna chased the shadows of the trees, and flour mill, And lost them where the water leaped the dam. From the dam projects an apron, where the lazy currents meet; Where the elms in the evening breezes nod; Where the sunset kissed the water as it fell a silvery street, And flashed upon a stretch of golden rod. I stood where oft we gathered in the sunny days of June; Where boys could shout and frolic , as they please; Where we bather in crystal waters on a sultry afternoon, Or lounged upon the grass beneath the trees. I saw the careless swallow as he dipped the water’s edge; Where the lazy cattle sauntered tip the hill I stood again at twilight on the mystic wooden bridge. And listened to the snipe and whip-poor-will. Though thirty years had vanished since I left the little town, And yet I saw the happy boys and girls, For there was Laura Dailey, with hair of chestnut brown, And Sadie with her dainty golden eurls. I talked with Phoebe Murray on the • topic* of the day, ;; s*

! .Ezra Archbold In the store was i clerking yet • { I saw Belle Merris flirting with Al , Fristoe cross the way, t And scores of other friends I’ll not s forget. ’ I Both young and old looked just the ’ same as when I met them last; < And from the many friends with J whom I spoke, ’ I Came tender recollections of the dis- : tant happy past, : As clinging as the vine that clasps | the oak. And may the past to one and all new ’ resolutions bring; ( I Look up to Him who hears his chil- i dren pray; O! may He guide and teach us and ■ from Hia teachings spring A bower that will bloom another j day. j CARD OF THANKS.
