S. Heacock at the Shakespeare Dinner. On behalf of our Shakespeare club, 1 wish you all a very Hap py New Year. May health and prosperity be yours and fair promises of the future fulfilled. The year ot 1909 has thrown wide the portals and beckons us on, and with optimism in our hearts we do not hesitate to fol low. Our first step forward is to commemorate with feast and srood cheer this New Year’s day. It is most fitting that we begin it in this social manner, with those nearest to each of us gath ered here in congenial hospi tality around this bounteous board, for Shakespeare more than any other writer has signi-j tied his .approval and has stamped it indelibly on the minds of all with charming wit and song wliac real genuine good fellowship means, aroused and stirred to life, no doubt, by many jolly jovial nights spent at the banquet table. if we have in our past year's work accomplished nothing more than this, the bringing to gether of our busy husbands for just one night of congenial, so cial fellowship, it has been worth while. Yet, we feel that we have done something more, [n our hearts we know that our outlook has broadened and the horizon recedes as we sturdily advance. In this glorious New' Year be fore us, much, of course, will happen the inevitable and un expected. We hope that no good thing will be held from us, and that every dark clond may have a silver lining. With op timistic vision we see much that is desirable to accomplish. We know this much, that our club has fostered and encouraged in us many social virtues. Sincerity and earnestness in our work bind us together more closely, while our shortcom ings are viewed with kindly charity. No longer are our thoughts compressed to the every day level of domestic af fairs alone. We are striving faithfuKy for high ideals and seek culture for self. When Shakespeare says, ‘Spirits are not finely touched but to fine issues,” we think we understand his meaning. "We know not bow far that little candle throws its beams, but so shines good deed^ in this great world.' What Shakespeare woul d think if he were to step into our midst tonight, we may rightly conjecture. For would not he enter with much spirit into this mild revelry? And his wit would (low, just as your s should now, and you would have rich jests to carry home with you that would warm the cockles of your heart for many a day. What he would think of this group of earnest women responsible for this pleasant gathering-, and who meet twice a month trying to grasp the meaning of his great masterpieces and applying some of this knowledge to life, one can only surmise. He would have his fling at us, no doubt, and like everything else of his, it would be worth preserving. He might say. “some are born great, some achieve greatness, but these ladies have greatness thrust upon them.” His own women he has made with strong characters, lit companions for their husbands, not mere pup pets. as so many writers have done. If he were to present himself here tonight with the magic wand of his wonderful imagination he could easily transform some of these players on this stage of iife and discern a faithful Horatio, a generous Antonio, a cultured Hamlet, but even bis great art in interpre ting character would fail to find a Shylock or an Iago present, and i have no other than a wo man's reason for thinking so, because I really think so. Important Announcement There is universal regret among our ciiizens that the early and m ist interesting history of Rich ardson County is being forever lost with the passing of the pion eers. This regret has been expressed to the Tribune many times and has been the subject of frequent comment in the columns. We are very glad to announce that with this issue, we will begin the publication of a series of arti cles dealing with the early days of the county, and which will he entitled. “Reminiscence of a Way farer. ' These articles will be written by one thoroughly qualified for the work and will probably cover the experiences of a continuous resi dence in Falls City of nearly 31 years. To those who desire to preserve such a history, and there are many who will so desire, we suggest that scrap books bo used for such pur pose, Badly Injured Hand Laura, the little three year old daughter of Frank Cook, living north of this city, met with a very painful accident during the week. She was playing near the wash ing machine and in some manner caught her hand and tore it in such a manner that it was neces sary to have medical assistance. She was brought to town on Mon dav, where the doctor dressed the injured member.

IN MEMORY OF LINCOLN National Movement Begun to Per petuate Lincoln Hospital New York, Dee. .‘JO, 1H08 Half a million dollars will be offered in memory of Abraham Lincoln by the people of this country between Christmas and the hundredth an niversary of his birth, according to the leaders of a national mem orial movement which was started in this city. To permanently en dow the Lincoln hospital and home, where thousands of colored and white patients have been treated, educated and housed here for th^Iast sixty-nine years, is the object for which American citi zene in every section of the land are to be invited to devote their individual tributes to the martyr ed president Seventy-five thous and dollars has today been prompt ly subscribed in th s city to start this fund and its completion in time for the centenary celebration is declared to be assured when the people of other cities and states learn of the project. Irt 'rumpled dollin’ bills and stamps, as well as substantial check, the working committee of this new Lincoln memorial move ment are preparing to receive the response of the people from end to end of the country to their call fur a living monument to Lincoln. Thousands of white and colored persons, who have alike received the free treatment, care and relief of the institution since long before the civil war, are today enlisting in the movement to perpetuate it in Lincoln’s name. From the in firm old people who are weaving baskets for the fund in the home wards to the corps of a hundred graduate trained nurses who are spreading its relief work in every part of the country, a volun teer army of beneficiaries will work to secure the future of this uni ue hospital in the name of the great emancipator. No other institution exists to day in this part of the country where the training and expert ser vices of nurses of the colored race life successfully combined with the operation of a modern hospital manni'ed and largely patronized liy whites. The professional auth orittes here declare that this work has opened a wide field for suc cessful service to the race which Lincoln freed. Booker Washing ton, Robert C. Ojj;den and other leaders are solving the problems of the colored race in this country have today joined in supporting the project to dedicate this suc cessful undertaking to the memory of the author of the emancipation j proclamation. Scores of oryaniz i tions that appreciate and derive i benefit from the work of the Lin coln hospital and home have also joined the movement. Women members of the most prominent New York families founded and have always mnnai'ed this extensive institution, and the national campaign for its perpet mil dedication to Abraham Lincoln wdl be conducted by them. The working? committee of the move ment consists of Miss Mary Booth, president of the board of manai'ers of the institution; Mrs. A. I). Juilliard; Mrs. Arthur Curtiss James; Mrs. Henry Stimson: Mrs. Frank Platt; Mrs. Samuel Sloan, jr.,and Mrs. Samuel Van Dusen.
