Among other activities the Woman's club of Sutton has engaged in is the establish- ment of a library. So far its efforts have been attended by success, and although the institution has not reached very large pro- portions it has attained a creditable foun dation. The picture of the club members in this number shows earnest faces and indi- cates that the library movement is assured of vigorous support. ol One of the features of the meeting of the Nebraska Whist league in Omaha was that women won the honors.

Luther P. Ludden of Lincoln, who has just been elected to the position of western secretary of the Board of Home Missions of the Lutheran church, was born in Madison, Va. His early life was spent in eastern New York, where in 1878 he en- tered the ministry of the Lutheran church and was pastor respectively at Knox and East Schodack, remaining there until 1889, when he removed to Lincoln and organized Grace Lutheran church, the pastorate of which he will relinquish March 1 to assume his new duties. His new work gives him for territory all of the United States west of the Mississippi river. Besides his pas- toral work Mr. Ludden has led a busy life in this state. In 1890 Governor Thayer ap- pointed him to take charge of the relief work in the drouth-stricken part of the state. Again, in 1804, Governor Crounse placed him in charge of similar work.

He was permitted to examine the score and run over the “anvil chorus” on the plano- forte. ‘““What do you think of that?" asked Verdl. ““Trash!" responded the connoisseur to Verdi rubbed his hands and chuckled look at this,” he said. ‘‘Rubbish!” said the other, rolling a cigarette. The composer rose and embraced him with a burst of joy “What do you mean?" asked the critic. ““My dear friend,” cried Verdi, ‘I have been making a popular opera.
