History of L. L. C.

Continued from Page One. together and the first subject drawn would be the one used lor the next week’s meeting. Then you would have to get busy if you were put on the debate for we only had one week to prepare our subjects in; but you seldom saw any failures. The founders of this club worked every way to make it worth while and from the beginning they displayed ability and and were amply able to push it through., We had several university graduates to start with. There was Mrs. Dr. Deming, now of California, a Swedish lady and highly educated in the schools of Sweden and when she came over to this, country she entered our schools and became proficient in our language. She was a woman of rare culture. Misses Julia and Elizabeth Smith were also women who were highly educated. There were several more who were worthy of mention. At the beginning of this club I don’t believe there was a woman in it who was over 45 years of age, excepting the honorary ones. We had three of them, Grandmother Dwiggins, Kannal and Shortridge. These old ladies came often. All the rest were active members. We met at the homes of the members until 1885 and then we concluded to rent a club room and we rented three or four rooms over Babcock’s office and Mollie Babcock was the custodian of our apartment., She lived _in the rooms and took care of them and we paid the rent. She had some fuij niture and with what we had donated our little place looked quite cozy and homelike. We occupied the front part and she had all the rest. He had a nice organ that belonged to the Temperance Union people. They had disbanded and they let us have it and we thought we were fixed. We had quite a few pieces of furniture given to us. I remember we had a book case, table, chairs and carpet, but we never had just what we wanted. During our stay tnere General Van Rensselaer, whose father lies buried in our Presbyterian church yard, .made frequent visits to this place and he seemed to take great interest in our club welfare and he was conceded to be quite wealthy. So one day when we were in need of furniture or money to buy it, there was a called meeting for the express purpose of us meeting the General. We had a hint that we were to receive something from him and every member was there and delighted for we thought our time f had come to have our room furnished in fine style or to receive an endowment of some kind. He was a little old fellow on the dudish yrder, wore nose glasses, button hole bouquets, carried a gold headed cane and wore burnside whiskers that were trimmed to a frazzle. At the meeting he arose with great dignity with a package in his hand; he complimented us on our work; he said he was proud of us and thought the town ought to be. He gave us such a complimentary spiel that we thought we were about to reach our goal—in fact—were ready to receive it. Instead, he proceeded to open the package anH there were thre or four dozen of his pictures which he proceeded to distribute. Everyone present got one whether we wanted it or not. We were so crestfallen and disappointed that we did not know what to do. But we were game. Miss Mollie Babcock arose and thanked him for his generous gift and made a motion that we make him an honorary member, which we quickly did. On the following week we had a paper for a part of our program and one of the girl contributors wrote a little zigzag and when she came to V she began like this—

V stands for Van Rensselaer, So spare and so thin, The only male member We could ever take in; He is an honorary, too, * But so deficient in flesh We scarcely expect him To get back to his place. One of the important offices of this society was the critic. It has been said that “poets are born, not made,” and that is the way with the critic. For years we had the same one and she delighted in filling that office. Criticism should be received in the spirit of kindness in which it was made, so our rules said, and most of us tried to abide by them. The president would appoint the critic at the opening of each meeting and with pencil in hand she was ready to criticize anything she saw or heard that was not corrects* Our manner of standing—if you happened to stand more on one foot than the other —she saw it. If there was a mispronounced word or an illy constructed sentence she was there to let you know where you were at fault, and I am sure this criticism did us a world of good and after she got through with us we never ijnade the same mistake twice. Miss jßabcock was a competent and fearless critic. It made no difference to her whether you liked to be criticized or not, you got it just the same if you deserved it. One day I happened to be appointed to that office when she was on the program. I thought now was my time to get even with her. She mispronounced the word “telegrapher.” I never forget that word, for she did not take the criticism like ahe wanted us to, but became quite angry and it took her a whole, week to convince herself that she was wrong. From the beginning we have celebrated our anniversary day and our meetings used to be the events of the year. Everybody had a new dress for the occasion. Our first one was held at the beautiful home of Mrs. R; S. Dwiggins. The house was crowded and we served refreshments. The program was a long one with plenty of good music. The second meeting was at Mrs. Alfred Thompson’s. She always opened her home for all of our open meetings if we had them at a private home. After a few yean we branched out a little and bad several anniversary meetings at the opera house. We would issue invitations and charge in admission fee and we always had i crowded house. Everybody would

go, for they knew the money was going to be given to a good cause. We gave over a hundred dollars to have our cemetery improved, for it was sadly neglected them. Some;, times it would go to the poof untT we were sure is went to the right place. When we had our club room,, we had, of course, to look out for the rent, as our membership fee was not sufficient to pay it and our open meetings helped us out. Our club never came so near dying a natural -death as it did when we rented our rooms. It went down to a small membership and we were compelled to move out a and go back to the homes for our meetings and our interest was revived and we got back to where we started. If it had not been for the energy of a few of the older members in keeping it together, I would not be here today trying to tell a forty years history. One noticeable feature about our early membership was that we had several grandmothers with their daughters and granddaughters that were members at the same time. One of our honorary members, Grandmother Dwiggins, had her daughter, Lydia, two granddaughters, Mrs. Willis Imes and Mrs. Lyda Kimball, and one daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zimri Dwiggins. Mrs. Purcupile had her two daughters, Mrs. Sears and Strawbridge, and her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Henry Purcupile; and there were several more. The club work seemed to interest the young ladies as well as it did the older ones.

In looking-over a list of our former members it gives me pleasure to know that some of them have gained fame and success. When I think of Margaret Hill McCarter, Mrs. Letherock, Celia Wilkins and Mary Washburn, I feel proud to know that at one time they were a part of us. Mrs. McCarter’s fame as a writer is broadcast over this land and had Grace Letherock lived she too would have succeeded in her chosen work. Our poet, Miss Wilkinson, was ”a teacher in the public school here. She deserves much praise for the beautiful poems she wrote. She also wrote many magazine articles for our leading journals and papers. She wrote under the name of Sand Burr and we were a long time finding out who Sand Burr was, as she was so modest and unpretentious about her writing. Many beautiful things could be said about our former members, for they were deserving, and their good works do follow them. Mary Washburn has gained for a name that we all can be proud of. She is and has been an earnest student and her efforts have been crowned with success.

As I said in the "Beginning, the Narrow Gauge R. R. was not completed when we began this society and it was the subject of much talk and comment. At our first anniversary meeting we remembered it enough to put it on our program. This was the program: Toast Response—Narrow Gauge R. R., Mrs. M. L. Spitler. Rensselaer, Mrs. R. S. Dwiggins. The Republican Paper of Rensselaer, Major Bitters. Hero Worship—-M. L. Spitler. Paper, Editors—Celia Wilkinson and Melle Wright. Milroy Park should be a lasting tribute to the memory of Mrs. A. Thompson, the mother of this club. She was the starter of the movement and through her untiring efforts the old home of Gen. Milroy was bought for the purpose of perpetuating the fame of this noted general and to furnish Rensselaer with a beautiful park. She lived to see her drams realized and today we look upon it with pride, for it is .adorned with a statue of the general who at One time lived upon the spot. This manument stands as a memorial to the soldiers and sailors of this county who gave their lives for a noble cause. Our club was instrumental in raising $1,014.50 for this monument. We did what we could and should be proud of it. In connection with this memorial we must not forget to speak of Mary Washburn’s part in it. She was the little sculptress who made the miniature statue of Gen. Milroy. • It was a perfect piece of mechanism. To the life of this club today we owe it all to the faithful Mrs. Thompson, Mrs. Dwiggins and Mrs. Purcupile. They deserve all credit for they never tired in doing the work of keeping this thing together. They have all passed to their reward. As I said in the beginning, when this club was organized I was young, with the greater part of my life and ambitions before me. In looking backward I see and find the greater part of them behind me and the only regret I have it that I did not improve my time and talent in a more earnest way. I have always enjoyed the work of the club and have been grteatly benefited by it in every way. In my closing thought to you today, I will say that I could wish you nothing better than to live 40 years more in this club and that you will get as much pleasure and benefit as I have had.

Happy thoughts will ever linger, O’er the hours well spent with you; I can leave you to the future For I know much good you’ll do. Some of us will pass away \ To a fairer, brighter clime; j Leaving you to fill our places With the work we leave behind. May this little club of women Live for ages yet to come; And as one by one you cross the river Head the Master say, “Well done.” There are 19 living members who began at the beginning and 22 who are dead. The living are: Mrs. Lydia Moss, Mrs. ] Estella Strawbridge, Mrs. Arabel Sears, Mrs. Alice Dunlap, Mrs. Dr. Washburn, Mrs. Nell Purcupile, Mrs. M. L. Spitler, Miss Lola Moss Patton, Hallie Coen Ferguson, Mrs. S. P. Thompson, Mrs. Annie Jones, Miss Lydia Dwiggins, Lydia Paris Randall, Mrs. Louise Imes, Mrs. Annie Maloy, Mrs. Lee A. Cotton, Mrs. Mary Porter Mayhew, Mrs. E. P. Alter, Melle Wright Medicus.

Human Vibrations.

Who has not felt the Instinctive feeling of distrust that certain individuals create, though there is nothing outwardly to Indicate that anything 18 wrong? Who has not felt the tremendous vibrations that some orators and actors give forth as soon as they come before their audiences? The variety of examples is limitless because they all depend upon the character and tendencies of the people who create their vibrations, which combine with the others and are just as real and Important as the vibrations which are known to us as electricity, heat, music, light and color? —Exchange.

Novel Juvenile Reformatory.

In Dorsetshire, England, there has been established a “Republic," called the “Little Commonwealth,” which has Its own coinage and which is used as a reformatory for youngsters from two years of age upward. The experiment has proved a success. The children, sent down there from metropolitan police court to reform earned eight to nine cents an hour, out of which they paid $2.75 a week for board and lodgings. The Republic has been recognized by the home office as a certified reformatory.'

Nature’s Disinfectants.

Never forget the old reliable bleaches and disinfectants that Mother Nature and the primitive homemakers “of the race - have used for aeons —sunshine, fresh air, and boiling water. They are cheap, Inexhaustible in supply, and ready at band. Resort to them freely. Even hot water, cooled enough to be barely endurable, will serve to disinfect a fresh wound if nothing more vigorous Is at hand. Common salt is one of the most effective antiseptics.

How About Other Senses?

“The sense of direction is so strongly developed in the average man,” stated Prof. Pate, “that he can rise In the middle of the darkest night that ever was, unerringly find his way clear through the house to a burglarproof safe, work the combination without a light, take out a bottle of hair restorer and drink heartily of its contents by mistake for the cough remedy which stands on the little table beside his bed.” —Kansas City Star.

Man and Other Animals.

The essential difference between man and animals is well stated by Doctor Gasset, an eminent French biologist, quoted by Scientific American. He says the animal is predestined to obey the laws of its species, while man obeys them ,pnly if and when he will, A man may, if he wants to, sustain with energy the pretention that two and two make five, or he may commit suicide.

Lines to Be Remembered.

The sun illuminates the hills while it Is still below the horizon; and truth is discovered by the highest minds a little before It becomes manifest to the multitude. This is the extent of their superiority. They are the first to catch and reflect a light, which, with their assistance, must, in a short time, be visible to those who lie far beneath them. —Macauley.

Give You Three Guesses.

“What subjects are best adapted for beginners’ practice in mind reading?” asks the Inquisitive subscriber of Wharton. That sort of thing Is Sanskrit to us, but if you hear a girl ask her beau why he doesn’t save his money by Investing 'it In a bungalow you might see if you can make out what she Is thinking of.—Houston Post.

No Such Place.

**Yez pay too high for the things we ate,” said Mulligan to his wife. “Can’t yez find a grocery where they sell things lower?” “No, Mike,” responded Mrs. Mulligan. “There do be some places that sell things higher than others, but there do be none where they sell them lower."—Boston Transcript

PASSION THAT MAKES THIEVES

Emerson's Peels ration —tJoncemtng BOOtr Coffsctefi Wourd "8«m io Have Been Amply Justified. Ralph Waldo Emerson once declared that book-collectors were all thieves. “The passion of classification masters the mind and makes rogues of honest men.” The case of a professor of theology in the University of Berlin, who had just been convicted of stealing books from the University, reminds a writer In the Boston Transcript of Emerson’s saying and of the following Incidents:— “W. S. Shaw, the founder of the Boston Athenaeum, used to steal from the private libraries of his frlendß any books he wanted to make his darling Athenaeum complete. Collectors of shells steal ‘oranglas’ from the Grlnnells’ mantelpiece and Mrs. Coffin’s house at Slnsconset. Melllsh Moore told me that the books stolen from the Boston Athenaeum are mostly from the theological department, so that they are forced to keep those locked up. BuOhe books most often taken are patent reports, by lawyers.” Professional and collecting morals must have improved since Emerson wrote those words in his Journal in the fifties; he goes on and adds: “But even In comparatively late days I have seen some queer Instances of collecting zeal —as, for example, this: A couple of respectable Boston business men, one of whom collected weapons, visited a very swell house in Rhode Island once In the absence of family; they were admitted by the aged caretaker; while in the drawing-room, one of these reputable gentlemen engaged the old custodian in conversation while the other slipped under his coat the authentic tomahawk of a noted Indian chief —ami got away with it. And the queerest part of the matter was that the collector used to boast of the achievement when exhibiting the tomahawk as an item of his treasures.’ ”

LIGHTENS BURDEN OF GRIEF

Hard to Overestimate the Influence pf a Smiling Face on Those In Suffering. It would be Impossible to deny that love and sympathy possess a great influence over the whole course of our lives. How many, let the reader ask himself or herself, are daily drifting astray for the want of these virtues? The thought of havlng_ntL-one to care for them, no one to listen to their plans with a word of encouragement or sympathy in their failures; no one to soothe or heal bodily sufferings, or to whisper a word of comfort when bowed down in sorrow, has caused many hearts to fin with darkness and despair. The road to promote love and sympathy is open to all, there are no barred gates to prevent an entry, no one ready to prosecute for trespassing; all are free to enter. Its best visible and Invisible advertisement is a smiling face and a kind heart. As the sunshine is to the flowers, so is the Influence of the face which meets you with a smile; as the rain moistens the parthed ground and brings forth the fruit of the earth, equally so is the burden of invisible grief lightened by the tyelp of a gentle heart.

For Lovers of Sardonix.

If you have an eye open for a good sardonix cameo you will be pretty sure, sooner or later, to come across one that wIH make you glad. There are many Imitations of sardonix and 1* ought to be part of your search to make sure that you know the real from imitation. Often you can come across a good piece in a collection of old jewelry that is being sold because the owners do not appreciate its intrinsic artistic value. Sometimes —especially if you travel in out-of-the-way corners of the globe—you may come across a good piece in a little pawn shop. Perhaps in your own family, stowed away in the bottom box or jewel case with various articles of adornment of another generation and another taste, you may be able to find the precious cameo in sardonix you are looking for. As a usual thing the old settings are the best, though if the cameo needs a new' setting any good jeweler will put the right sort of frame or setting on your piece.—Exchange.

What's the Answer?

A movie actress said at a Bar Harbor lea.: “A girl can’t dress in less than ninety minutes —and a ninety-minute toilet is only an ordinary one at that. A real toilet, which includes a hair-waving, manicuring, and massage, requires three hours. “The less a girl puts on the longer it takes her to do it. Girls never wore ks little as they do today, and never was it necessary to be as careful and thorough about one’s dressing. “Some men grumble because a girl takes so long to dress, but I say to them: “‘Would you rather wait for an attractive girl or have an unattractive girl wait for you?’ ”

Her Immediate Needs.

The other day a lady was knocked down In Regent street by a horse, but happily escaped with a few scratches. A gentleman rescued her and said: “Can I get you anything?” She (much out of breath and gasping with excitement) —“Oh —oh—can you kindly get me— —” He —“Some brandy?” She—“ Nor-not drink —some safety pina. I feel Tm falling all to pieces.” —London Tit-Bits.

GREAT LAND IS ARGENTINA

People and Resources Place It In the Front Rank of South American Republics. The great landowners come to Buenos Aires and spend their money upon the glittering boulevards, aud tbis makes tbe city an abnormal one, and in a sense a false guide to the characteristics of tbe people and tbe country, says a writer in the Christian Herald. however, is slowly, but surely gathering to out of the polyglot nations of Europe, which compose her, a spirit and individuality of her own as free and unique as Is the air of her boundless prairies. At present she resembles more truly the Old World than does the United States, which has had much longer time to develop to-ft particular civilization all her own; yet you can hardly Insult an Argentino more readily than to suggest Buenos Aires as rnereiy a copy or tinseled imitation of a European capital. He sees iu it his own expression, and although he will tell you that to know the country correctly the Norths American must read the history of the United States 50 years agicb he is nevertheless deeply confident that Argentina has a future quite different from either the United States or a European nation, or any other South American state. The longer one remains in the country, the more surely he will be inclined to agree with the inhabitant of this great land, where are being gathered forces of population in an agricultural area nearly half as big as the United States, possessing resources in many senses more uniform and prolific than are to be found in any other one commonwealth on the face of the earth.

MAY BE CLUB-FOOTED RACE

Humanity Said to Be Tending Toward a Condition by No Means to f Be Desired.* 1 That the human race is slowly evolving toward a condition of clubfootedness is suggested by Dr. Truman Abbe of Washington in the Medical Record. Doctor Abbe points to the horse’s hoof and Its evolution from the five-toed foot of the prehistoric horses, by the dropping of one toe after another and the consolidation of the bones from the knee down. “When we look at the human skeleton and eompare the bone of the tibia and fibula and the digits beyond each of them,” he continues, “It does not take much lmaginafton to see suggested In the slender fibula and the diminutive little toes an early stage In the reduction process, which If carried further would lead to a diminution of the number of toes on man’s foot.” And he closes his article with these words: “We come thus to the suggestion of club-foot as a tendency toward the dropping of the post-axial digit group of the lower limb. And this dropping of a digit grout) would seem to be due to restricted development In the central nervous a factor that has been at work since before the days of the five-toed horse.”

“A Stone to His Memory."

That there is bound to be ambiguity in the terms of a will is almost as well known among lawyers of this city as is the way to the Hall df Records in Chambers street, where the wills are probated. But the queer kinks which some individuals with more guile than conscience put into the aforesaid testaments furnish fresh entertainment every day for the profession. Recently it was the executor of a small estate who entered the office of a lawyer to get an opinion. His friend bad died without close kin, he said, and had made him executor. In the terras of the will there had been provision made for a monument to be erected for the dead man at a cost not to exceed SSOO. “That’s what I wanted to see you about," confided the client. “You see, the will provided for a ‘stone to his memory.’ I’ve already gotten the stone and I want to see if you think the whole thing’s legal.” And turning his right hand over upon the table the executor flashed before the eyes of the lawyer the stone in question—a beautiful SSOO bluewhite diamond. —New York Herald.

London Coffee-House Founder Dead.

In the death of Sir Joseph Lyons there passes away the man who did more than anybody else to revolutionize the catering business of London. Before the time when he threw down the brush and easel in favor of a business career the “coffee-house” as now constituted was unknown In London. City workers had either to lunch at one of the numerous bars or pay tiie exorbitant prices charged at the hotels. To the thoufsands of women workers the establishment of the modern tea shop has come as a great boon, for before that time there was no accommodation for this class of society. In his later days Sir Joseph spent a good deal of his time at Brighton, andwas often to be seen on the front wearing the uniform of an honorary colonel of the Territorial force. —Dundee Advertiser.
