“He ABSCONDED.” 
Public sentiment strongly con- 
demns the man who, having the op- 
portunity to do so, fails to make 
proper provision for his family in 
case of his death. The late Rev. T. 
DeWitt Talmage, who was not afraid 
to speak out what he thought, once 
voiced this view emphatically when 
asked his opinion about life insur- 
ance. The great preacher answered, 
“T have known men who had an in- 
come of from $2,000 to $5,000 a year 
who did not leave one penny to the 
surviving household. The death of 
such a man is a defalcation, an out- 
rage, a swindle.

At St. Helena, Las Casas said to 
Napoleon: “Sire, at Potsdam, had | 
been you, I would have taken the 
sword of Frederick the Great and I 
would have worn it,’ And Napoleon 
answered as one would answer the 
prattle of a questioning child, “I had 
The annual Ladies’ Night of the 
Manchester Brotherhood was_ held 
last Monday evening in the auditor- 
ium of the Baptist church. The 
church was well filled by members 
and their lady guests, fully 250 be- 
ing present. Rev. B, R. Bulkeley of 
Beverly was the speaker of the even- 
ing, his subject being “A Note of 
Good Cheer in Emerson’s Poems.” 
Prior to the introduction of the 
speaker, President A. G. Warner an- 
nounced that the speaker for the 
next meeting, Feb. 16, would be Rev. 
Dr. Maurice Levy of Newton Cen- 
tre. Miss Alice Decatur of Salem, 
sang in a very pleasing manner “Thy 
Name,” by Wood, Organist Allen 
Brown accompanying on the organ. 
Meyer Winer of Salem, rendered 
a violin solo, with unusual merit, 
“Souvenir,” by Drdla, and as an en- 
core Lefort’s ‘““Melodrame.”’ 
Mr. Bulkeley’s talk, of a most in- 
formal nature, was listened to with 
close attention, for Manchester peo- 
ple are always glad to have an oppor- 
tunity of hearing him. His talks 
here in the past, before the Woman’s 
club and before the Brotherhood 
only a few weeks ago, are not forgot- 
ten by those who heard him, and 
everybody was sorry to have his 
remarks Monday night after talking 
more than half an hour. 
“Emerson has become great in the 
minds and hearts of American people 
and the English speaking people in 
general,” he sad, “because he has. 
said the things that cheer up; that 
edify and that help others.” He re- 
cited certain: poems and parts of 
poems, and phrases from poems and 
essays to show the various manners 
in which the poet said cheerful 
things, all tending to lift up and 
cheer. 
Following his talk Miss Decatur 
sang “Possession,” by Clough-Leigh- 
ter, and when called on for an encore 
she sang Homer’s “Banjo Song.” Mr, 
Winer rendered another solo on the 
violin,—“ Precieuse,” by Gillet, and 
as an encore he played an air from 
the opera “Thais.” 
After the evening’s entertainment 
program had been concluded, at 
about 9.30 everyone adjourned to the 
Vestry below where a committee 
served refreshments of ice cream and 
fancy crackers.
