Geraldine Kindis, LaVera Lee, Ethel Jacks and Rose Luers entertained the Saturday club at Geraldine Kindig’s home, Dec. 12. The literary program was quite brief as it was the first meeting, and most of the time was spent in dressing dolls to help Santa, Claus along. Captain James A. Burnham gave a very Interesting Speech Monday on the battle of Chattanooga, to the eighth grade and Senior U. S. History pupils. As he had been in the battle, he was able to describe it quite vividly,’.and all enjoyed it greatly. The R. H. S. History club held its third meeting in the library 1 auditorium, Thursday evening, Dec. ! 17th. The regular meeting night should be Thursday, Dec. ,i 24 but on | account of the Christmas holidays the date was changed. The program I was as follows: Call to order - President I Reading of minutes - - Secretary 1 Roll Call Paper, “Women of the Orient - - - - - - Selma Leopold Paper, “Women of Europe” ------ Grace Peyton Paper, “Women of Today,” - - - - -Dorothea Hollingsworth Debate, Resolved: “Women Should be granted tbe right of suffrage.” Affirmative, Carrie Jasperson Nell Meyers, Blanche Babcock, Helen Murray and Miss Shedd. The hoys on the negative failed to show up at the right time and their place was taken by Mr. Warren, Mr. Bradshaw, Mr. Dean, Omar Osborne and Ralph Hammond. They made a brave attempt to defend their side, but were so unprepared, that their argument, though ardent, was more ludicrous than convincing. The girls were weil prepared and the judges, Miss Work, Alice Ryan and James Jordan, decided unanimously in their favor. The program was concluded by a piano solo by Edna Hauter. Stereoptican views were then given and refreshments were served. The refreshment committee was Ethel Jacks, Mary Pierce and Don Beam. Some very nice new suits arrived for the basket-ball boys this week, consisting of trousers, and red Jersey sweaters with a black “R” on each.

K. in California and mother and Marie like It very much. We bought a nice five room house, modern in every respect and in good location. We have had a few rains but only enough to make things lively and bring out the grass. This is the greatest place to live on earth. Everyone has lost his head over the gold field which has been opened up 35 miles east of San Diego. Living expenses are not much more here than at Rensselaer. Things are on the boom and have been ever since Taft was elected. The climate is fine and seems to agree with the folks. I have a good place on working rentals and real estate with one of the oldest firms in San Diego. Please send the paper to our new address which is 250 Cleveland ave., as we can not get along without it Best regards to our many friends In Rensselaer.”

A Family Geathering.

(By Mrs. C. A. Pancoast.)

There Is to be a family gathering, A Jolly old-fashioned affair. Such as makes the heart beat lighter And drives away dull care. =1 There will be that warm, glad welcome That all human hearts so prise And that makes of earth an Eden By its tender family ties. The house will be filled to o’erflowlng With kinfolk from far and near. With faces kind and smiling Bespeaking love and cheer. There will be aunts and Uncles many. With cousins, full & score. And darling bright-eyed babies That never came before. And grandma with her glasses, And cap on all awry, Softly soothing and caressing The babies, lest they cry. And grandpa with his stories Of his happy boyhood days, And of how the country's changing In many of its ways. And the uncles will be talking Of the weather, flocks and grain And wondering if the price of stock Is likely to remain, While the aunts, with some neighbor women, That they’re always glad to see, Will be exchanging helpful methods And their favorite recipe. There will be music In their voices. And In the children’s merry shouts. And as for their real enjoyment Leaving none a cause for doubt. Then in time will come the dinner, Friends and kindred all in place, While over all ja silence falls, As father’s saying grace. He will thank our Heavenly Father For his blessings, day by day, And will ask for grace and guidance To go with us on our way. Then again when dinner’s over And the table cleared away, There will be sweet, merry muglc. And the games the children play. All the house will be a garden Over-run with human flowers. And to life they give sweet fragrance. Childhood days again are ours. * * * Hours of pleasure, so swift of wing, in nolsless flight you hurry past; It’s the joys you give while passing That In memory long will last. Rensselaer, Ind., Dec. 14, LOS.

From the Kentland Enterprise.

A current news item says that Congressman Charles Landis, who was defeated for re-election, has been selected by Senator Beveridge for collector of revenue In the Terre Haute district which, next to Peoria, is the largest in the country. Prosecutor Graves was in town Monday evening. He retires from office the first of the new year, and has no regrets in doing so. Four years in the criminal practice is good schooling for a young attorney, but enough is enough. Fred H. Longwell of Brook will take up the work. Frank Weishaar, a young man living between Brook and Goodland, met with a shooting accident Saturday morning. He and a friend were out rabbit hunting and as young WeLhaar was climbing a fence the gun was discharged. He had his hand over the end of the barrel and the two smaller fingers were blown off. The third finger was so badly lacerated that he was taken to Chicago Mondav where new skin will be grafted in hopes of saving the rest of his hand. Goodland’6 new school house will be dedicated Dec. 28th, and elaborate plans are being worked out for a big bouse warming. In addition to the public reception and dedicatory program a supper will be served to provide funds for decorations fer the new building. The people of Kentland and this community are given a cordial invitation to attend. The new building was erected Jointly by Goodland and Grant township to replace the one destroyed by fire, and is one of the best buildings in the county.
