They'll fondle and pet the accursed thing
Till it fastens its venomed hold.
And the serpent will tighten his slimy coils
Will blast with his poison breath,
And the foolhardy dupes in his gripping toils
He will throttle and grind to death.

The open program of the Woman's
club at the last meeting was under
the auspices ot the child study depart
ment. The interest in the department
was shown by the large audience in at
tendance who were highly entertained
by a varied and demonstrated program.
We are all only children a little larger
grown and an object lesson appeals to
the sympathies and interest as a bare
statement of facts cannot, so the very
instructive papers were illustrated by
the children themselves, who ectered
into the spirit ot the occasion with that
utter lack of self consciousness which
so often mars the appearance of older
children. The program was opened by
Miss Oakley, who sang two charming
songs. Mrs. Mary E. Hart then read a
paper on "The Physical Child, Its In
fluence on Character." Mrs. Hart
showed a familiarity with the principles
underlying this subject, which can only
be obtained by careful thoughtful study.
Mr. A. A. Scott then sang a solo,
"Goodnight," in a sweet, clear tenor, for
which he received a hearty encore. A
group ot kindergarten children from
Ninth and Z streets were then marched
upon the Etage to the sound of
music and sang their little songs.
Especial interest was attached to these
little tots, as they came from the north
west district of the city, where dwell
the foreigners who do not speak Eng
lish, and all that the little ones know of
it they have learned in the American
schools.
The next paper, by Miss Gallagher,
was on "Creation of Ideals in Character
Building," in which she showed the im
portance of cultivating in the bojs and

about its different parts and their pur-

The last paper for the afternoon on
"Will Power and Its Development" was
given by Miss Mary L. Fossler, in which
she claimed that character and morality
are duectly dependent upon will power.
The next public meeting will be a
musicals arranged by Miss Risser and a
general reception will be tendered the
members of the Woman's club at New
Year's time.

A pleasant event of last week to the
club women ot Plattsmouth was the
meutiDg of the current literature and
current topic department led by Mrs.
Fellows and Mrs. Davis. Both ladies
have a happy faculty ot holding the at
tention and arousing the active interest
of the members of their departments
and Friday evening's program was ex
ceptionally interesting. Some good
music, vosal and instrumental, by Misses
Fletcher and Hasec, and a flne recita
tion by Miss Mauzy, tended to lighten
the program, which is sometimes in
clined to heaviness owing to the charac
ter of the subjects discussed. It 83ems
to me as a general thing the average
woman's club is too ambitious, their
Mights are too lofty, they Boar and soar,
and instead of the club being a rest and
recreation to the tired woman, shs is
obliged to maintain a feverish activity to
keep pace and in touch with the sub
jects under discussion. Friday even
ing's session was very informal. Mrs.
Fellows spoke of Hall Caine's visit to
America and his outspoken sentiments
that "American women had a rattling
good time," read some exttacts and gave
a little talk on current literature, t rs
Wise reviewed, by request, the book "In
His Steps" and gave her views as to the
feasibility of mat ing the motto "What
Would Jesus Do" the question and
guide in all emergencies and important
events that arise in ones life. Mrs.
Stoutenborough spoke a short time on
her recent visit to Kansas and Missouri
and spoke in high terms ot the men of
Missouri who stood behind the women's
clubs ready always to give their assist
ance when needed. It is fortunate the
women of Nebraska are able to stand
alone. We never heard of any men
offering Nebraska clubs assistance with
money or in any other way. Perhaps
they are rendering silent homage, how
ever, and we will remember that "com
parisons are odiou6." I keep wander
ing from my subject and my report is
getting lengtiy but I must not omit the
excellent parliamentary drill of Mrs.
Davis and the fact that not one member
of the club could answer the question
"What is the number of the present
congress." We were obliged to make
the humiliating confession that we
would have to ask a man. Mrs. Davis
inaugurated a mass meeting, but owing
to the late hour it was carried over for
ar other meeting and the ladies were
asked to sharpen their wits in anticipa
tion. Dr Freda Linkton will speak on
'Heredity" at the next club meeting at
which the child study department will
furnish the program.
Or Dec. 5 the York Amateur Musical
club met at the usual time and place.
Nearlv every member was present and
an instructive and interesting program
was rendered. Owing to the storm two
weeks ago, the program to have been
given on that day was given in part yes
terday. The program in full was as
follows:
