LOCAL AND GENERAL,
If things goes kinder wrong with me—
Sometimes, you know, they will—
I kinder want to slip away
Where everything is still;
When silence presses down the lips
Of noisy, crackling things;
Where melancholy, sad. forlorn,
Spreads out her darkling wings.
And there I like to think of all
Philosophers have said.
And of all the sadder stories that
I've ever heard or read.

V. 31. C. A. Membership.
The membership contest which closes
the 14th inst. is the thing that is at
tracting the attention of the men of the
town. It is often wondered by citizens
why a membership fee is charged for
certain previleges, but it will become
very apparent to the thoughtful person
that it is an absolute necessity to have
money with which to pay our bills as
they come due. Besides the member
ship for public spirited citizens put it
upward of twelve hundred dollars per
year, in order to keep the work going.
A membership does not cost very
mnch. one can be bought from $2.00 np
to SIO.OO.
Some bny and carry memberships
just because they think the work a
good one. and want to encourage it in a
practical way. Any man of moral
character my"join. The association
would like to add to its membership
auy who may read this article, and
wants to be practical in the sympathy
they have toward work for men.
The onlv public reading rooms in
town are to Ik; found at the V. M. C. A.,
they are well used too. We invito all
men to become daily users of them.
Our gymnasium gallery is open to all
men who care ts drop in and spend an
evening watching the gymnasts. Our
men's meeting, bible classes, ami socials
are open to all men. Is this work
worthy of the support of public spirited
men an;l women

O. ELKS—MONDAY, Nov. 11.
The program which the Pittsburg
Concert Company provides is a most
interesting one and offers a variety un
usual for a company of four people.
The contralto, Miss Jane Lang, will be
heard in several songs of widely differ
ent character Her first number is
Liddle's song, "Abide with me," which
was made famous by the celebrated En
glish contralto, Clara Butt. It is par
ticularly adapted to a contralto voice
of wide range and Miss Lang never tails
to make a remarkable effect. In songs
of lighter vein, as Esser's "My Angel,"
nhe is equally successful and one of her
most beautiful numbers is Hanscom's
"Lullaby" (with violin obligato). Al
together the program will be one of the
finest ever heard in Butler.
