One of the women bas a husband and children living with her; the other is a widow of the variety kaown as "grase," and the cause of their jealous scrapping is a young man who cares for neither of them, in an honorable way.

HI's theme was "Growth," and while this statement might imply 8 trite discourse, his treatment was notably otherwise, and his handling of the matter being suggestive rather than exhauelive, his address was full of ideas and inspirations, drawn from its reservoir of a busy yet thoughtful life begun upon an Illinois farm and continued in the court room and the congreasional halls, and brought to its fullest vigor in the wrestle of Wall street, where an unswerving intourity has won from his associates the est tribute of confidence in the annals of business.
