The Ween of the Lowell club all
■ wore serious looking faces last Monday
' afternoon, that day being constitution
day. The different literary societies
were to have drawn up and ready for
. adoption. tbe constitution and by-laws
of their society. The Juniors and Phil
omathl&nl 'were not ready with their
’ constitutions, consequently the time was
^ : given to3 (he Lowell club. After the
adoption of the constitution, by-laws
0 and rules of order of the society, the
meeting was called to order by the vice
president, Miss Gussie Martin, and the
‘ ^ programme was then rendered, which,
consisted of the following:
Biography ot Lowell.,.John Erwin
* ’. xhe Constitution...Tennte Norvell
gong.'.Flora Lowrle
t Amerioaaring...Nellie Kllmorry
Instrumental music. .Kate Fallon
** a poem from Lowell....Minnie Adam
-& Chorea.... .Grammar School Choir
Mr. Jackson, our county superenten
dent, delivered a speech on constitution
which was appreciated by both pupils
and guests. A vote of thanks was
tendered Mr. Jackson by the Lowell club
for his entertaining and instructive talk,
and we would all like to hear him again.
The visitors will show their appreciation
for our exercises by soon appearing
among us again.
On Tuesday morning the Lowell clul
held a meeting end elected the following
officers: Tennie Norvell president,
Will Davis vice president, Carrie Purdv
secretary•' IGommittee: Fred Kauta

have not very many vacant seats in our
room, this we are glad to note.
“An Intra-Mural View,” a very artistic
brochure, has been received from the
Curtis Publishing Company, Philadel
phia, publishers of the Ladies’ Home
Journal. As the title indicates, the
booklet gives us glimpses of the inter
ior of the Journal’s offices, and some
idea of the work carried on there. The
main building, entirely occupied by the
editorial and business offices, was de
signed by Mr. Hardenbergh, the archi
tect of the Hotel Waldorf, Hew York,
and was completed in January. 1893.
The exterior is attractive and the inter
ior elegantly appointed snd admirably
planned. The numerous illustrations,
showing the commodious and well-fitted
offices, and the accompanying text, giv
ing us some insight into the work in the
different bureaus, requiring a force
approximating four hundred employes,
indicate the wonderful success which
the Ladies’ Home Journal has achieved
in an incredibly short time. The first
number was issued in December, 1883,
so that less than eleven years have
elapsed since Mr. Curtis conceived the
idea which has developed into so vast
an entersrise. In this short time its
merit and steady improvement in all
departments have received such recog
nition that its circulation has reached
the enormous average of about 700,000,
the largest magazine output in the
world. The brochure also describes at
some length the work of printing and
binding the Journal, which is carried
on in a separate buildiug. “An Inlra-,
Mural View" will be sent to any one
who will address the Curtis Publishing
Company, and inclose four cents in
stamps for postage.
Until Alter Election.
The present campaign is of unusual
interest to Nebraskans. Not only will a
full set of state officers be elected, but a
legislature will be elected that will
clioosc a United States senator. The
State Journal, located at the capital, can
give you all this news more fully and
more relinbly than any other paper. It
comes twice a week and will be sent
until after election for only 25 cents.

STABLE ODORS.
They Flayed • Mis Part >“ Flxln* th*
Fourth of Joly.
Jefferson was fond of telling a
story which illustrates In a forceable
manner the importance that absurdly
insignificant matters may sometimes
assume. When the deliberative body
that gave to the world the Declara
tion of Independence was in session
its proceedings were conducted in a
hall close to which was situated a liv
ery stable. The weather was warm,
and from the stable came swarms of
flies that lighted on the legs of the
honorablo members, and, biting
through the silk stockings then in
fashion, gave infinite annoyance. It
was no uncommon sight, said Jeffer
son, to see a member making a speech
with a large handkerchief in hand
and pausing at every moment to
thrash the flies from his thinly pro
tected calves.
The opinion of the body was not
unanimous in favor of the document,
and, under other circumstances, dis
cussion might have been protracted
for days, if not weeks, but the flies
were intolerable. Efforts were made
to find another hall free from the
pests, but in vain. As the weather
became warmer the flies grew worse,
and the flapping of handkerchiefs
was heard all over the hall as an ac
companiment to the voices of the
speakers. In despair, at last some
one suggested that matters be hur
ried so that the body might adjourn
and get away from the flies. There
were a few mild protests, but no one
heeded them, the immortal declara
tion was hurriedly copied, and, with
handkerchiefs in hand figiiting flies
as they came, the members hastened
up to the table to sign the authentic
copy and leave the flies in the lurch.
Had it not been for the livery stable
and its contents there is no telling
when the document would have been
completed, but it certainly would not
have been signed on the Fourth.
. HE "FIXED” THE PIANO.
The Carpenter Was Given a Job and He
Did His Work Too Well.
A Utica, N. Y., family changed
their residence from ODe street to an
other a few days since. Among the
household effects was a handsome
square piano, the cover of which had
in process of transportation been
slightly cracked. When the tuner
came he noticed the cracked cover
and told the lady of the house that he
knew of a man who could repair it so
that it could not be noticed. There
was a carpenter working about the
house and as the cost of moving had
been considerable the lady decided to
have the carpenter do the work, and
informed the tuner that he need not
send his expensive expert. Calling
the carpenter she showed him the
damaged cover and informed him
that lie could easily fix it with glue.
The carpenter set about his task and
the lady paid no further attention to
him.
A day or two later she had company
and was requested to play upon the
piano. Failing, after repeated and
strenuous efforts to lift the lid, she
was compelled to forego the pleasure
of entertaining her guests in this way.
When her husband came home he ex
ercised his muscle but to no •avail.
After three or four trials he began an
examination and found that the car
penter had labored under the mis
taken notion that the lid ought not to
rise, and had accordingly placed a
thick coating of glue between it and
that part of the piano upon which it
touched. To make the job undeniably
complete, he further secured it by
driving a tenpenny nail through it
SPARROW SYMPATHY.
An Instance Showing That tha Bird}
Have It for Their Kind.
“While walking along the street in
;he residence portion of the city last
summer,” says Dr. H. D. Osterman of
Chicago, “I witnessed an incident
that illustrated the sympathetic na
ture of birds. As I was walking along
I noticed a little sparrow fluttering
on the ground and apparently unable
to rise. I stopped and was on the
point of going to it to ascertain if pos
sible the cause of its trouble, when
all at once I noticed two full grown
sparrows fly down from a neighboring
tree and alight on the ground near
by. I watched with a good deal of
inteiest to see what they would do.
Tht old birds hopped around a min
ute or two and then one of them
picked up a little bare twig about
three inches long. The old bird took
hold of one end of the stick with his
beak, while its companion took hold
of the other end in the saihe manner.
They then approached the young bird',
that still fluttered helplessly on the
ground, and it caught hold of the
middle of the stick with its beak.
The old birds then flew up to a tree,
carrying the young bird "hanging to
the stick between them to a place of
safetv.”
Virtuous Indignation.
Mrs. Peters, who is older than she
used to be, but perhaps not so old as
she looks, was once standing in a pub
lic waiting-room with one of her
neighbors and her neighbor’s little
daughter, when a well meaning old
gentleman made Mrs. Peters angry.
He spoke pleasantly to the little girl,
and then, turning* to Mrs. Peters, said:
Is this your little grandchild?”
“Grandchild!” exclaimed Mrs. Peters
— grandchild! Does that girl look
like a grandchild?”
A Dire Threat.
So far as the audience was con
cerned, Von llulow always made a
point of doing exactly as he pleased.
On one occasion, when a Leipzig audi
ence insisted on recalling him, in spite
of his repeated refusal to play again,
he came forward and said: “If you
do not stop this applause, I will play
all Bach’s forty-eight preludes and
fugues from beginning to end'”
