These councils convene only once
in two years, alternating with
the biennial of the General Fed

these meetings are greatly im

to the educational and economic
interests of the country at large.
Mrs. Percy V. Pennybacker, the
Texas historian and club woman,
who is president of the Nation

She needs no introduction to the
thinking element of America,
for she has managed the affairs
of this great organization of
women with dignity and ability.
Her judgment in all the work
of the clubs is alway3 to be re

There will be many large and
brilliant social functions, Mrs.

ANTICIPATED EVENT
Coming just at a time when
there is 'almost a dearth of
things musical in Independence,
the recital to be given at the
Methodist Church, Thursday
evening, May 27th, by Katherine
Neal Simmons, Soprano, assisted
by Florence Jackson Pianist and
Accompanist, and Mrs. Gilhoue
en, ViolinUt, is most keenly an
ticipated and promises to be lib
erally patronized.
Mrs. Simmons is a member ol
an old Southern family of musi
cal lineage and she will display
the delightful intonation of a
real Southerner.
Having finished music in Tex
as, her native state, she pursued
her art in Cincinnati, Ohio, la
ter going to New York where
she perfected a remarkable rop
ertoire of Italian, Fren:h, Ger
man and Old English together
with Modern Engl sh and Ameri
can songs so pleasii g for concert
entertaining.
As a result of studying the
languages with a native of each
country, Mrs. Simmons sings
with true diction, and an even
ing with her will be one of rare
enjoyment. Oregon press en
comiums, besides those of other
states, bear glowhg tribute of
her artistic interpretations.

8ir John 8ono and His Celebrated
Poitn Di tem Joke.
One of the most famous of post
mortem jokes win that perpetrated
by the donor of t tier celebrated So
nne museum of pictures and other
vnhinlilo ohjets d'mt to England,
the Into Sir John Sonne, who died
in 1837.
In his will Sir John made pro
vision for the opening of three Heal
ed cupboards on certain specified
dates in the presence of the trus
tees. In 18G15 that is to say, al
most tl'irty years after the death of
the testator the first of the mys
terious receptacles was with much
ceremouy and breaking of seuU
opened in tho presence of a ooru
mil tee of men, with the tlifn presi
dent of the Kovnl academy, Sir I'.
Grant, at their lieud. Instead of a
priceless treasure or some evidence
that would throw an entirely new
light upon some doubtful incident
in political history the contents of
the cupboard proved to bo worth
less accounts, letters and station
ery. Twenty years passed by, and the
interest that had smoldered after
the diouppointment of 18C6 was
again fanned into flame at the pros
pect of breaking the eeala of the
second cupboard, at which rite there
were present, among others, Dr.
Alfred Waterhouse, it. A., and Sir
(then Dr.) B. W. Richardson. Liko
the cupboard mentioned in the well
known nursery rhyme, Sir John's
second cabinet proved "bare" of any
sensation, tho contents being chief
ly composed of letters relating to
certain long forgotten family quar
rels that had not even tho merit of
being interesting.
If some of thoce authorized to be
present at tho opening of the third
and last receptacle of mystery were
dubious about the profit that would
accrue by ieiiinj; Uo h'ut of the
day fall upon the contents thereof
after sixty years' darkness, one at
least, Sir li. W. ItioliuriU.n, looked
forward with unabated intercut to
that day in 1800 when the lust seal
would bo broken and the mystery
solved, l ut he, ul.is, died jnt two
days before the ceremony v.ai per
formed, and the fact that Sir John
had played a practical joke upon
posterity was duly confirmed by the
prcM nee of a collection of perfectly
worthless letters und miners.
