I myself was in the city yesterday. I was passing a small, unpainted cottage built close to the pavement on an un frequented side-street. There were cheap but clean white curtains ot tne windows, and near the fence a few sickly gerani ums looked up at tin sui. A great, evi looking dog lay stretched full length in the path near the corner of the cottage. A wagon bearing the name ot a dealer in second -band goods, was backed up to the door. A laree, heavy Bet man with a great, red, unshaven face over which enormoi's eye-brosrs protruded, atojd beside che gat?. His coat was off, and his coarse, woolen shirt unbuttoned at the neck showed huge rolls of flesh up on his throat and bis coarse, hairy breast. This man was directing two others who were moving an upright piano from the house into the wagon. In doing so one of the men elipped from the walk and crushed, a geranium. On the little porch stood a woman. Her hands were thin and while. Even from the pavement I could make out the veins and the outlines of the bones beneath the skin. Her lips were close set, her hair tinged with gray. And with her handkerchief she slowly wiped her eyes, though she did not appear to be weeping. When the two men had placed the piano in the wagon, the large man with the woolen shirt and the unshaven face, turned to the woman on the porch. "You'd better stop that whimpering and go into the house. I'll be back in half an hour and 1 don't want my dinner kept waiting by you whining round like this. D'you understand?" Then he whistled for the dog and fol lowed the wagon down the street. The charge is often made against the women's club3 that they are not prac tical in their work. But there is one club in a small town of this state which refutes this charge strenuously and points to the outcome of a certain meet ing last fall as proof of the practical nature their labor has taken. Early in October, a car load of orphan children was billed to visit the town for the purpose of being placed in suitable homes. The Woman's club of the place met the day before the cart" arrival. For their parlimentary drill that day, the ladies took up the motion "That it was the duty of every married woman with out a child, to adopt at least one of these orphan children." The discussion was the -warmest of the year. The question was taken up from all points of view as a duty, a nrivilege, a financial investment and the like. The session lasted all the after noon and far into the evening. In fact, so much enthusiasm was aroused that the next day twenty-seven orphans found homes with the childless members of the club. One married lady took five, one widow three, and one eld maid adopted twins. And the ladies who had children of their own.Joot to be out done provided homes for twenty five more, raising the number disposed ot in that one town to fifty-two. The agent in charge of the car said it was the best town he had struck that trip. (First publication March 26.) In the District Court) Lizzie Drain, in and for Plaintiff.
