THE 8TREET. They pas me by like shadows crowds on crowds, Dim ghosts of men, that hover to and fro, Hugging their bodies around them, like thin shrouds Wherein their souls were burled long ago; They trampled on their youth, and faith, and love, They cast their hope of humankind away, With Heaven's clear messages they madly strove, And conquered and their spirits turned to clay; TjqI how they wander 'round the world, their grave, WhoBe ever-gaping maw by such is fed, Gibbering at living men, and idly rave, "We, only, truly live, but ye are dead." Alas! poor lools, the annolnted eye may traco A dead soul's epitaph in every face. James Russell Lowell. VAN ZANT-HAGEN. Maude Mabel Hagen, the younger daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin J.

He is a printer by trade, and employed in the advertising department of the Palladium, a daily paper published there.

Thomas at their home iu North C street. BAZAAR TUESDAY. The Ladies' Aid Society of the First Presbyterian church will hold itB annual bazaar Tuesday at the church. The affair will begin in the morning at eleven o'clock and continue throughout the day and until eight o'clock in the evening. Luncheon will be served at noon. This will be a good place for Christmas shoppers to get many pretty gifts as many of the articles which will be on sale are unusually pretty and attractive this year. ABOUT FEDERATED CLUBS. The following written by Grace Julian Clarke for the Indianapolis Sunday Star will interest club women in this city. Perhaps no work which the federation will undertake during the coming year will bear more fruitful results than that of the Country Life committee. The need for such work was first realized in 1908, when President Roosevelt recommended to congresst he creation of a country life commission, whose office should be to promote the social life of rural communities. That this commission was not created was due to the failure of congress to make an appropriation to cover the expenses thereof. The governors of a number of states, however, have created state commissions which are doing a splendid work. At the National Conservation congress, held In Kansas City the latter part of September, soil fertility and the conservation of our agricultural resources were in the last analysis declared to lie in promoting social life on the farm. While good roads, better transportation facilities, a more extensiv knowledge of fertilization, drainage and irrigation were all pronounced necessary adjuncts to successful farming, the secret of success still seemed to lie in the attitude of the women on the farms. Just in so far as the wife and mother is able to make home attractive will the efficency of the farmer -be Increased and his labor dignified. Statistics were presented showing the number of young men and women who yearly leave the farm for the attractions of city life. The number of farmers who remove to town after acquiring a competency was also shown. Throughout the discussions the necessity of promoting the social side of farm life was dwelt on as of' paramount importance if the nation Is to continue to produce the necessities of life for its people. State federations of women's clubs were therefore urged to appoint committees to.organize clubs among the women of rural communities, carrying to them suggestions as to the state, having been organized in 1889, and having sent two delegates to the first convention of the Indiana union at Richmond in the spring of 1890. These were Mrs. Virginia C. Meredith and Mrs. J. M. Marson, who are both active members today. The subjects this year are Holland, music and home economics. Under the latter head they consider the development of the home, design and decoration, the cost of living, beauty in dress, adulteration of textiles, etc. There are thirty members, meetings are held fortnightly and the president is Mrs. R. A. Hicks. MIbb Mary L. Matthews, chairman of the household economics committee of the Indiana federation, is a member of this club, and with Mrs. Meredith as chairman of a special club committee on federation work, one feels that interest in the state organization can not flag. RETURNED TO INDIANAPOLIS. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Mann Morgan who were recently married in Montclalr, New Jersey, spent the week-end here the guests of Mr. Morgan's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Morgan of North Tenth street. They were enroute to Indianapolis where they will take up a permanent residence. A DOLLAR 80CIAL.

Orchestra Concert Our citizens should respond heartily in support of the efforts of Richmond's famous Symphony orchestra. It is one of the institutions of the city that has given us fame abroad. Here are a number of people, who year in and year out, have given unselfishly of their time, without expectation of other reward save that which comes from a consciousness of paving contributed of their talent to the general uplift and culture of the community in which they live. The reputation this city hat throughout this country for culture along the lines of music, art and civic improvement has an undoubted commercial value. It has attracted a high grade of people to become citizens, and not only made it a safe and pros perous place in which to do business, so that it has become the "Panic Proof City," but it has made it a desirable place to build a home and educate the children. Our position in this respect has become the envy of every other city in the state. The orchestra should be the pride of every citizen as the character of their work is unequalled for a community of this size. The concert which they will be able to present to the public on next Wednesday evening is of as high quality as you will go to hear in Cincinnati or Chicago at several times the price, and the satisfaction

An old picture dealer gave this useful hint fur flattening out a picture or paper which has been rolled. Suppose j that a photograph has leen rolled with ! the face inside. Unroll and spread out m a flat surface with the face down. Vow, with one hand hold down firmly ne end of the picture and with the )ther draw the edge of a book or a ruler along the back of the photograph from the end you are holding to the jther. If necessary repeat the process until the sheet is perfectly flat. Watch and Wait. "You needn't go on a still or wild hunt for trouble, my son," says a Georgia philosopher. "You needn't ford streams nor climb mountains to find him. If you'll just stay where you are and let the world spin round without your assistance trouble will travel your way and draw up a chair and take the warmest corner at your fireplace."

Th Taitae to Blam. We must after all blame tbe tailor for the unnecessary clothes he has induced us to wear. Centuries ago. aa Sir Walter Scott tells us In "Ivanhoe." men wore on thickness of clothes, whether of wool, leather or velvet. The shirt was invented, but for a long time was worn only by the nobility and gentry. Then followed the waistcoat, breeches and later ou trousers. The overcoat, which succeeded the medieval cloak, was rare until the seventeenth century. So it is the tailor that has made man what h is. with his long catalogue of petty ailments that proceed from overdresins; his body. London Spectator.

Our Values Echo Throughout Richmond There is positively no getting around the facts, viz.: Value is King nowadays. We can truly sav that in every garment we sell at $10.00 and $15.00, in every seam is enclosed an honest stitch and upon every lapel, the badge of honesty shines. Come in, take a look. You are thoroughly and heartily welcome. XMAS PHOTOS AT PARSONS 714 Halo St Ptsae 221
