THE COURIER .5 $ A T this Ib not to bo reBtrictod to thoeo em ployed in department stores." It is proposed to furnish a clean, pleas ant room and wholesome board ut 92 a week, luncheons at 3 conts, and to do laundry work at about 10 cents a week. A piano, a library and everything re quired for comfort and entortainraent will bo provided. Teachers of sten ography and dressmaking huvo volun teered to conduct classes for the benefit of the boarders. Lectures on various subjects and weekly classes in physical culture are projected. This is on of the grandest of tho many altruistic efforts with which tho men and women of our large cities are often surpassing ub. There is no class of wage career more deserving of tho thought and Christian oversight of phil anthropists than these homeless girls. Think what such a home-breathing com fort, culture and safety will mean to that large class of sweet, earneet girls, struggling to earn a living from the world in an honeBt way. May every large commercial center in our fair land emulate this example of paternalism to its employes and may heaven's richest blessings rest upon tho project and its projectors. The Woman's Litorary club of Stan ton celebrated Washington's birthday Tuesday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Klopp. The house was beautifully decorated in bunting and flags. Inter esting papers on Washington were read Ly Mesdames Crane, Underburg, King and Hodgson. Our flag wbb responded to by Mrs. Klopp. The study of Shakspere was con ducted by Mrs. Crane and the club road the second act -of Richard II. A committee of three consisting of Mesdames .Crane, Heaton and Young were appointed to preeent to State Rep resentative Louiso Sraithberger the mat ter of establishing traveling libraries in Nebraska and urge upon him that he use all due and honorable meanB to secure favorable action and the passage of house bill 200, which has been intro duced and recommended for passage in the present legislature of Nebraska. The Seward History and Art club met with Mrs. Carlos Boyes February 18. The attendance was unusually good and that always insures an interesting and instructive session. The first topic, a paper on Horace Greeley, was given by Mrs. P. A: Marsh, who is a great ad mirer of the man who desired to bo re membered as "the founder of the New York Tribune." Mrs. Marsh said: ''His life seems like a dream from pinching poverty to affluence and to the highest station of intellectual influence. The object of his life was a Bingle one. It was the emancipation of labor from ignorance, vice, servitude, insecurity and poverty. This was his main theme, whether bespoke from the platform or wrote for the Tribune. Greely himself aid: 'Fame is a vapor; popularity an accident; riches take wings; the only certainty is oblivion.' " General Low Wallace was the subject of Mrs. M. A. V. Davis' parser and she made it very interesting, especially when she gave "How I Camo to Write Ben Hur", for how groat pooplo do great thingB will always be items of par ticular interest. General Wallace, when asked "to what do you attribute your success replied, "work," and al though nearly seventy two years of ago, he is an inveterate worker apd thinker. Mrs. D. 0. McKillip led tho history lesson, subject, "Lincoln's second admin istration and death." The questions given the week before were answered by five minute responses and those "talks" have been a special feature of the pro gram for the ertire year. At the close Mrs. Boyes, assisted by hor daughter, Miss Myrtle, served dainty refreshments. Tho following clipping from Wotnnn's Work, a club magnzino published at Montgomery, Ala., contains a bit of ad vico that is good for tho givor as well as tho rocoivor, which is bo seldom tho cbbo with adviuo that unpleasant provnrbs have become connectod with tho word. Tho quotation is familiar but I cannot recall tho author: "Do not koop tho alabaster boxes of your lovo and tondornoBs soalod up until your friends aro dead. Fill thoir lives with swootnees. Speak approving, cheer ing words whilo thoir oars cun hear them, and while thoir henrtH tun be thrilled and mudo happier, tho kind things you meant to say when thoy nro gone, Bay boforo thoy go. The flowers you moan to Bend for their coflins, sond to brighten ur.d sweeten thoir homes bo foro they loavo them. If my frionds havo alabaetor boxes laid away full of fragrart perfumes of sympathy and affection, which they intend to break over my body, I would much rather thoy would bring thorn out in my weary and troublod hourB, and open thonijthatl may bo refreshed and cheerod whilo I need thorn. I would rathor havo a plain coffin without a flower, funeral without an eulogy, than life without tho sweetness of lovo and and sympathy. Let ub loam to annoint our frionds bo forehand for their burial. Pob mortem kindness does not choor tho burdoned spirit, Flowers on tho coffin caBt no fragrance backward over the weary way." m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m 1023.1020 O t. m Fitzgerald Dry Qoods Go. m 0 xf m m m m If m at Pll 1;icf ritvlnt if tiottr t-t--iiwi 1 ..,.. ... ,-wwl.. 1....... 1....A. .. .. f ... ...,., v.iwi wi nv- rpi imj uitnn f;llllun lltive Jlll ill - ..v., vu.ii iviini; uii. mirv,ni cmnvji iiiijii l ui i:rt:iiuiiN.
