Somewhere In the United States is a young fellow between fifteen and twenty, who is making the most of! the small opportunities that come to I. jhim day by day, little thinking that* he will be president of the United' States thirty or forty years hence.

D„ clinical lecturer in three great medical colleges; “The Making of a Business Man,” by Theodore N. Vail, president of the Western Union Telegraph company.

TO BE IADSES’ DAY J ' Elks Passed Resolution Last ► Evening Giving Thursday to the Ladies. FOR THEIR SOCIALS Magnificant Club Rooms ! Will be Scene of Many Entertainments. Thursday of each week, day and evening, will be known as “Ladies’ Day” in the Decatur Elks' fine new club and . lodge rooms. At a meeting Friday evl ening a resolution, giving the use of these rooms to the ladies for any soiCial entertainment affair that they might wish, was unanimously adopted. The ruling is effective at once, and the rooms will be at the disposal lof the wives of the Elks and their I families, or to the friends of those , Elks who have no wives. I The club rooms, recently handsomely furnished at a great expense,

are said to be the finest of any city of this size, in this part of the state,. and will be a very fitting place for the entertainment of clubs and their friends, thus lessening the care and inconvenience that arise from entertaining at home. The club rooms are in charge of a custodian, who attends to every need of the suite of rooms, thus relieving the hostess from such as would be occasioned otherwise and fall to her supervision in her own home. C. C. Schafer, D. -.M. Hensley and Harry Fritzinger are members of the house committee, supervising the same. It will be suggested by one of the members that the ladies’ day be formally inaugurated by the Elks with a party of some kind in the future, and the ladies made to feel that the rooms are at their entire disposal. A visiting Elk from Huntington called at the home Friday and complimented the local order on their fine suite. It is expected that a class of twenty-five will be ready for initiation February 28th. Several new candidates’ names were submitted Friday evening. At Friday evening's meet the request of the Euterpeans for the use of the rooms for a musical for the purpose of raising the fifty-dollar pledge for the proposed new gymnasius was granted. - PUBLIC bALE.
