WEDNESDAY EVENING CLUB 
Excellent Program Carried Out at the Feb- 
ruary Meeting This Week—Rev. Dr. 
Williams of Gloucester Spoke on Lincoln 
One of the most talented entertain- 
ments offered since the Wednesday 
Evening club started was that of the 
February meeting this week. Miss 
Olga Lyche, pianist, and Miss Anna 
Christensen, soloist, are both Boston 
concert artists, and Mr. Bryce Hayden 
of Haverhill is a young man of rare 
ability as a violinist, while Mrs. Archi- 
bald Miller is a well known Brookline 
singer. 
Rev. Dr. Williams of Gloucester, 
formerly of Cambridge, was the 
speaker of the evening. He spoke 
on Lincoln, and said in part: 
“You have read a great deal about 
Lincoln the last few days, yet very 
few of us realize the greatness of that 
man. As westudy him, we study the 
institutions of this country. He was 
wrapped in poverty, but he met all 
the hardships and conquered them. 
Lincoln stories are great because he 
told them, and they are of such 
character as he would tell anywhere. 
‘(Lincoln was his own teacher. He 
was a student of men as well as 
books. He gleaned from _ people 
what they knew. He had the spirit 
of patriotism; he had the practical 
spirit which got there.”’ 
The speaker told of Lincoln as a 
soldier and lawyer, and of his nomin- 
ation and election as president, of the 
trying times with his cabinet, and of 
the Greeley commission. Examples 
of Lincoln’s courage and of how he 
made a general, were very interest- 
ingly told. 
McClellan, he said, wasa good or- 
ganizer and drill master, but he was 
not a fighter; Hooker could hold a 
place when he got it; Scott could 
fight when the battle was brought to 
him ; Mead thought all he had to do 
was to defend northern territory, 
while Hallock dashed but couldn’t 
follow. Then along came Grant, a 
quiet man, but he was a fighter. 
People tried to persuade Lincoln not 
to use him because of his habits, but 
Lincoln said he was a fighter, and 
that was what he wanted. 
As a statesman Lincoln was judi- 
cious and conservative and he was a 
prophet and a seer.

WHISPERINGS. ~- 
Rainy weather Tuesday carried 
three of my good Manchester friends, 
who happened to be in Boston, into 
Keith’s, and from what I hear they 
had a little show all to themselves. 
The DeForest Wireless Telegraph Co. 
is offering small blocks of its stock in order to extend its commercial plant. 
company is now doing a fast increasing commercial business on land and sea, as its 
rates are from 20% to 50% less than wire or cable rates. 
Now is the time to invest while the STOCK IS LOW.

Streets, : 
As they marched down the aisle look- 
ing for seats they espied three well 
down toward the front, but in order 
to get to them they must walk in 
front of a couple who occupied seats 
in the same row. That was well 
enough. They proceeded, and one 
had passed all right, but the second, 
who unfortunately needed a little more 
room than the average person, felt 
something under his feet as he stepped 
in front of the couple, and as he 
stooped to pick up the object he found 
it to be the lady’s hat ; the next step 
found him walking on a fur neck-piece, 
but after due apologies the trio were 
finally seated. Very soon Jim, if I 
may be allowed to call him that for 
short, felt something under his feet, 
and stooping he picked up a handsome 
silver-handled umbrella. Not wishing 
to be further embarrassed, he thought 
he would pass it to his companion. 
“Ts this yours, George?”’ said he. Al- 
ways ready with an answer, George 
promptly responded “ Yes.” 
soon the couple beside them left the 
theatre, and as they did not ask for 
the umbrella it was decided the object 
had been left there by some other 
person: Anyway, George now owns 
a handsome silver-handled, silk um- 
brella, and Jim is kicking himself to 
think he should have passed it over 
instead of holding onto it himself.
