Girant post at the res- idence of Colonel Rhodes, Mr. Upton being in a retrospective mood—and in imagin tion back “in southwestern Missouri thirty years ago among the ‘‘zentiemen of tne bush’—a loud tramping was beard outside tho house, and a terriblo racket came aganst the doors and winaows. Mr. Upton threw Opbeu the door when @ mob caught him and flashed lanteras in his face. The thing was done so_quick, befora ia fact he was awak- ened from bis day dream, that he yelled lustily for bis pistols, dhinking, of coupse, thai busnwhackers had sttacked bis mi- cile. The yoll brought him back to earth and low suc behold Le was surrounded by his ueighbors, woo came trooping in laden with baskets and bunales and took possession of the bouse.

Tre Osaus Bee Thursday moraing an- nounced tho doath of Mrs. George Clouser av her home, 1145 Park avenue, in Omaha. Doubtl ss those few lines wero unnoticed by some of its many readers, a casual remark made by others on the uncertainty ot life, while not o fow read it with sorcow in theic hearts that out of this life and into the great beyond she hud passed from thew sight for- over, Although Mrs, Clouser had been a residont of Omaba scarcely four yoars, sho bad in that ime @athered about her o circlo of friends, somo of them the brightest aud most cultured ladies of your city. The writer woll “remembers an_afternoon in November, 1800, when a few ladies, by in- vitation of Mrs. Clouser, met in her cosy little parlor on Park avenue to organize a literary circle, At that meotiug it was ap- parent o ail that Mrs. Clouser was a leader, and such she became to the “Wodnesday class,” which for many monthe met fort- nighily at her home, T'his was the begiuning of her liverary lifo in Omaba. To those of us who were mem- bers of that class thero come many loving thoughts and momorivs today of her inter- est iu our work and patience with our dull- ness. The following year founa her president of the *Cleofan,” & down town club, of which Mrs. Hanchett is the class instructor. That she enjoyed her work iu that club there was nodoubt, and there was no sucrifice too great for her o make to promote the good of that class, In o letter of May 28, 1802, she wroto a friend: **Lbis class aud its leader have done mo most roval sorvicoin leadicg me to a systomatic courso of thought and readiog.” With ali her study and reading she kept her nome bright and “cheery, and wus never 100 busy to help othors, She had one trait of charucter whic her more intimate friends commented upon--strong personal friend- ship—and she never lost wn opportunity to spoak kind, loving words of those she called her friends, A full, rich nature, fxe0 to vrust, Trathtul and aluost sternly just Inipulsive, earnest, prompt to act, And ke hor genvrous thought i fact; Isceplng with many a 1zht alsguiso The secret of seif sucrifice, 0, heart, sore tried!
