‘The New Year-A Promise’
Response of Mrs. P. 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.
If you will take Foley’s Orino Laxa

you will not huve to take purgatives
constantly, a- Foley’s Orino Laxative
positively cures chronic constipation
and sluggish liver. Pleasant to take.
