{MOBSTERS OR THE CONFEDERACY. They Bid Farewell io Hospitable ~p Homes of Grangehurg-Herces' Portraits for Schools. Provision Hade for Children's Chapters. Officers Elected. "Orangeburg, Dec. 1.-After a har? monious but lively and interesting session today the convention of the United Daughters of the Confederacy adjourned sine die to meet next year at Johnston. The day was given largely to a con? sid?ration of the report of the histori > cal committee and afterwards resolved itself into an experience meeting and interchange of views on matters per? taining to the good of the order. The convention was called to order at 10 o'clock by the president, Mrs. Bnrnet. The proceedings were opened by the convention standing and repeat? ing: in unison the Lord's Prayer. The min?tes of. the previous day were read and corrected and approved. The first business for consideration was the report of the historical com? mittee, made by Miss Mary Poppen . heirn. This dealt in detail with the preparation and preservation of the historical records. The convention adopted a resolution recommending that all records be written on nuiform letter size paper, ten hy eight inches, written on one aide. The historical -committee was instructed to file these records in metal cases and take-all other means necessary for their safe preservation. The committee recommended that the ?. D. C.. take especial pains to see that the portraits of Confederate heroes be placed in the school houses in the State. Mrs. Clifford of Union explained the method of preserving the Confede? rate rolls with lists of descendants of the veterans, which required a small contribution to. the Confederate monu? ment fand of ?nion. If; mattered not how small the contribution was, but apon its being made by the veteran or one of his descendants their names were entered on the roll of honor. Miss Poppenheim said her commit? tee had prepared a list of 107 books which were recommended for southern libraries and a-list of 14 books which should not be in these libraries. These liste will be sent to the chapters upon application to Miss Poppenheim, Charleston, S. C. Miss Poppenheim closed the report of the historical committee by urging the members of the U. D. G., to con? tinue the work of obtaining- the rec? ords of the individual soldiers for pre jrc serva ti os. The report of the historical commit? tee was received as information and .the convention unanimously thanked Miss Poppenheim for her words, one member declaring that she had gained more inspiration, from Miss Poppen helm's talk than from anything else in many years. In the absence pf Mrs. S." G. Stoney, chairman of the committee in charge of the formation of children's chapters, auxiliary to the U. D. C., Mrs. Van tiiver made the report for the commit? tee. The plan presented provided for the admission of boys ana" girls under 17 years of age on the same terms as the U. D. C., under the care of a U. D. C., directress. The report with *aa amendment was adopted. "Mrs. "Van di ver, who had been a del? egate to the general convention of the -order at St. Louis, made an inter * ?sling report QB the proceedings of thai convention. ^'Tta. Smythe told of the magnanim? ity of Col. Knanss, w'ao built a mon? ument to the Confederate soldiers who died in prison in Columbus) Ohio, and who has in other ways shown honor to them as Americans. Col. Knanss was made an honorary asso? ciate member of the U. D. C. The president announced that the eiecton of officers was in order. She appointed as tellers Miss L. Poppen? heim, Mrs. B. L. Cumnock, Jr., "Mrs. C. C. Featherston, Mrs. Claude Girardeau. Mrs, August Kohn and Miss Martha Washington.

The principal dish was a young squab that belonged So an ex? tremely interesting and beautiful family of. pigeons. The father and mother pigeon had met their fate a day or so before at a grand shooting match. As for the squab, not having any father or mother left, it was bet? ter, perhaps, that he should fulfil his mission by satisfying the hunger of such a charming human being as the modern lady was. After she had finished her luncheon, the modern lady called her maid and directed her to go upstairs and get her winter coat. This coat was made of baby lambs* wool. The lives of a great number of baby lambs had been sacrificed in or*der to make this coat. And it was natural for the modern lady to say . to the maid : "Now, Katy, when the furrier calls band him this for storage, and tell him to take good care of it. as I am greatly attached to it." Tken she went upstairs to get ready to go? out. She put on her soft walking boots, furnished by an affectionate young kid; also her gloves, furnished by another kid. She put on her hat, up? on which was poised a beautiful bird. This had once been alive and had sung in a Southern forest, but one day he had been shot down, and now the modern lady was surveying him critically in her mirror. As she stepped out of her door, and paused a moment for her carriage to come up, if she had been of a reflec? tive turn of mind, or if the subject had specially interested her, she might possibly have considered for a moment the number and variety of animals that had been murdered to make ber surroundings more luxuri? ous. Through the window in the hall was the dim outline of a magnificent moose-bead, shot last year by her son in a Canadian forest. On her floor was a tiger-rug skin "brought from In? dia. On the shoulders of her coach? men were monkey-skin napes. In fact, no matter where the eye rested, the remains of some dead animal or bird testified to man's wonderful skill and ingenuity of slaughter. But the modern lady was pursuing no such reflection. On the contrary, her observation was directed solely to a stray dog that had wandered incon? tinently upon the premises and was looking up at her from a safe distance with strangely pathetic eyes. She rang the bell again. .'Katy,'' she said to the maid, "I left part of a squab on my plate. Won't you coax that dog round to the door and give it to him? Poor little th in*/ Some one has been dreadfully cruel to him.-Collier's for December A Certaia Cure For Croup.
