Sortor From Tuesday's Tallv Last evening Lewis and Clark Del phian chapter met at the home of Mr0-. C. C. Wesu-ott and enjoyed a most pleasant meeting and one that was filled with mary interesting facts rs to the life and writings of Robert Browning .one of the great English writers of the Victoiian era of England. The meeting was under the lead ership of Mrs. E. H. Wescott and under the study topic of the meet ing, "Browning." Rev. H. E. Sortor was heard in a very fine discussion of the poet and his works, the selec tion, "Pippa Passes," being used is the choice of the works of this great great writer. In Pippa, Browning gives U3 one of the most delightful of his char acters. Pippa, the optimistic, care free, imaginative child is the very epitome of the influence of good. Be cause of her the difference between right and wrong is strongly marked, because of her faith she unknowingly saves herself as well as others. This faith of Pippa's is one of the strongest, most evident attributes cf her characters. She says: All service ranks the same with God: If now, as formerly he trod Paradise, his presence fills Our earth, each only as God wills Can work God's puppets, best and worst Are we; there is no last or first So the singing Pippa makes the most of her one short holiday, and touches all with whom she comes in contact by the purity of her girl hood, the joyouness of her freedom, the gentleness of her spirit, and the lack of jealousy for those more for tunate in life. When she 6tarts out she says: . . I will pass each, and see their happiness. And envy none being just as great, no doubt, Useful to men, and dear to God as they. The Year at the spring And the day's at the morn; Morning's at seven; The hillside's dew pearled; The lark's on the wing; The snail's on the thorn God's in His heaven All's right with the world. Emerson says: I am a part of all that I have met. and no other char acter in literature snows more plain ly the effect on one personality upon others than does Pippa. Everyone whom she passes during the day. while she sings her songs, is affected by her lovely personality, and be come better because of her passing. Pippa's love and faith are the means by which she saves herself the Monsignor is so overcome with her song that he is appalled by the fact that he had almost consented to her ruin and ultimate death suggest ed by the crafty Bluphocks. The lit tle singing mill-worker who spent her days winding silk, in the one dav cf freedom accorded her, made so deep an impression upon the lives of those who heard her song that their whole lives were changed. Surelv there is no more evidence than this needed of the sweetness and power of the personality of Pippa, who believed so firmly that "God's in his heaven, all's right with the world." It is hard to find any character so appealing as the little millgirl whose imagination and joy of living found expression in songs so poignant as to change the lives of those who heard them. Her very presence was noticed by those who passed, so dif ferent was she from the ordinary mill-workers. Her cheerfulness, her insouciant. joyous youth, her tenderness and faith, all these were a part of Pippa, and her life was destined to be one of meaning but its beginning to its end. Her one short day of freedom gave her more honest joy than weeks would mean to others considered more fortunate in the eyes of the world. But Pippa has something that others do not an abounding trust in the essential goodness of life.

REPEATS OFFENSE On Monday night Officers Liber shal and Pickrel discovered a man reposing in the doorway of the form er Johnson meat market on east Main street and the stranger was apparently in a stupor, produced, judging by the odor, from an over dose of the distilled extract of corn. The police found it necessary to bear the intoxicated Rip Van Winkle to the city bastile to repose peacefully and without harm to himself or anyone else. Judge Graves heard the case Tuesday afternoon, the prisoner having slept off the effects of the hootch and as the tale of the man, who gave the name of Anderson, was unfolded, the heart of the Judge was touched and he gave him a fine of $10 and costs and the voice of the court was filled with emotion as he bade the man go hence and sin no more. Last night as the officers were patroling the main section of the city they espied someone lying on the bench that adorns the east side of the building of "Peerless Ed." and lo and behold it was Anderson. This time the victim of the hootch was not so far gone and was able with a few aids by the police to reach the city jail where he threw himself on one of the downy pallets that the city provides for the unfortunate and the wicked alike. What will happen to Anderson this time at the hands of an outraged and infuriated justice we tremble to think, but it will be plenty. LEAVES FOR THE WEST Mrs. Robert M.
