On January 10th the regular meeting
of the woman's clubs of Ashland was
held at the home of Mrs. Hayward.
The subject of starting a public library
was introduced and discussed, but as
the time was limited, no definite con
clusion was reached. After the trans
action of business, Mrs. Overholt, the
leader, read a critical estimate of Her
bert Spencer. She began by asking the
members to define "Philosopher." Ab a
matter of course, different definitions
were offered, Mrs. Overholt then defined
the Beveral schools of philosophy. Mrs.
Fales read a paper, "Herbert Spencer as
a Philosopher." The following points and
assertions in the paper were discussed:
"Something of Spencer's environment."
"Have his ideas conquered the world?
If en, why?" "Spencer's idea of physical
education." "To what extent do our
methods of discipline conform to
Speneer's in relation to a self-governing
being?' "Spencer's influence on mod
ern thinkers." Spencer was also com
pared with Darwin as an evolutionist.

Joseph Buckley, who is the manager
of the Otis Suinner company, relates an
incident which occurred while he was
standing in the lobby of one of our the
aters the other night. A pretty and
fashionably attirtd young lady, followed
by a gentleman of distinguished ap
pearance, stepped up to the front of the
line at the box office and they instinct
ively paused as she took her place in
front, without any apology or hesitancy
as to whether she was entitled to pre
cedence over those patiently waiting
their turn. He, almost meekly, followed,
and in a well bred manner requested
the treasurer to show the seats not sold
for the night. He then turned and
asked his companion how she would
like the fourth row.
She replied: "Fourth row! No, in
deed. That's too close. Haven't you
something about the eighth row?"
The treasurer replied: "Eighth row?
Yes, madam; two seats in the eighth
row."
"All right. Let's have them, please,"
he answered.
"Now don't be in such a hurry. You
say eighth row? Let's see where."
The treasurer then pointed out the
two seats on the left side.
"Left side! No, Indeed! I never sit
on the left side. Show me something
on the rignt side."
The tickets were then enclosed in an
envelope and handed to the gentleman.
'How much are thej ?" was the next
query.
"One dol'ar and a half each." The
treasurer was commencing to look sad
and wondering if they were never going
to move along.
"Are they on the aisle?" was the next
remark. She was assured that the aisle
seats were all sold, only to bo met with
the retort of "I presume you are holding
isle seats for some friends."
Mutterings were commencing along
the line, and with a peevish acceptance,
she moved away with her friend.
As the doors closed after them, one of
the men in the line observed: "Some
morning she will wake and wonder why
he left her."
