VOLUME'XXX, NO. 45. Frank Opinion. The Supreme Lodge of Knights of Pythias. (The Lover, Port Gibson, Miss.) At the recent Supreme Lodge of Knights of Pythias, recently held at Baltimore many things were done, which will reflect upon the order for the worst; the Virginia case was "done up" in short order by the Illinois and Louisiana politicians. Now what is the contention of the Virginia Grand Lodge? It is simply this: The Supreme Lodge had levied a tax which was according to the Virginia people unconstitutional, again we are informed the Virginia people offered to put the "unconstitutional" tax into the hands of a third party and enter a friendly suit to test the constitutionality of the law. If the Supreme Lodge won out then the money should go to the Supreme Lodge; if the Virginia people won, then the money should go to Virginia people. Now any one with a degree of fairness would agree to a proposition like the above. Well the Supreme Lodge simply would not hear anything but refused to seat the Virginia delegation and moreover had been refused the "life-giving" seminual pass word. Now as this "Back-wood" paper sees this matter from its angle of view, John Mitchell, Jr. is right to fight and fight in the ditch any attempt at tyranny. If he believed that the tax was not right then he was right to fight and every sane man knows he was right. We are at sea to understand why delegates will sit by and see the people taxed and retaxed for something that they get no tangible results from whatever. We too, claim that the taxes that are imposed for the sole purpose of the Supreme Lodge officers are unjust: why when the different state Grand Lodge were imposed in law suits and had to defend their names, and needed money with which to do it, we saw no harm in levying a tax for the purpose of defense; but for the Supreme Lodge to meet at Baltimore and put on a tax to pay the salaries of the Supreme Lodge officers when we have no more lawsuits, is a down-right shame; and should be regulated to the teeth. As for Mississippi, we need all the money we can get to pay promptly our claims. When we met at Gulf Port in July we had to increase the endowment for our own protection to one dollar a month and that was a real necessity; our Grand Officers had seen that we were trying to do for seventy-five cents per month what we could not do and the one dollar was the result, and its really should have been more. We have troubles of our own and can ill afford to be burdened with Supreme Lodge taxes; the biennial tax that Grand Lodges have to pay to the Supreme Lodge is sufficient. Now, what does Mississippi get in return for the $1200 per year basing the membership on Twelve Thousand? Not a darn thing, but "A word" known a the pass word. And our Grand Chancellor could as well send us a word as coming from some other source. But not joking, isn't that a lot of money to pay for a word; Think of it. About TWELVE HUNDRED DOLLARS for a word not counting the biennial tax to from Fifty or One Hundred Dollars, that goes to the Supreme Lodge. Why, back in these woods where we live you can go on Saturdays on any old street corner and get a plenty of chin music for nothing. There was a time when the Negroes could be led around with a piece of number seventy thread but the day has passed and gone and the morning of intelligence, has appeared and we are not only rising but have arrived and, like the Missouri man must be shown. Some may argue that we must obey the mandates of the Supreme Lodge; but gentlemen, we are never obliged to obey tyrannical laws; men have always arisen up in the strength of their manhood when they were up pressed, if our memory goeth not astray. There are twelve thousand brave and chivalric knights who will stand at the backs of their Grand Officers in any attempt to protect our Grand Lodge. We strictly subscribe to the old doctrine of State Rights. Our orders are undergoing a critical stage and we must look well at every movement affecting the people. We can see far down the road the results of our acting unwise, like one of the old said: "The evening of life gives me mystical lore, and coming events cast their shadows before." Mr. M. T. Bailey, Chief of Chicago Division and State Deputy for Illinois called on us last week. He had been attending the sessions of the Grand Fountain U. O. True Postormer. He was accompanied by Mrs. Lou Wile Fountain and Mrs. Margaret Marrine who were also Admired. From Arizona. THE BLACK MOVEMENT TO AFRICA. Mr. Thomas is in Earnest. Bonita, Ark., U. S. A., Sept. 22, 1913 Editor of The PLANET, Richmond, Va. The organizing committee on the movement of our race back to Africa, our native country, has challenged the three leading candidates, Mecara Taft, Wilson and Roosevelt, as pub- lished in the Chicago Daily News, August 5th, 1912, to come out square on the race question and agree to urge Congress to prepare a home in Africa for the black race, where they shall have a government of their own. No voice has ever come from either of them. Lynching and burning of Negroes still goes on. The committee has decided that a good run is better than a bad stand. There will be many hundreds of foreign ships coming to the United States in 1914 and 1915 and this will be our chance and time to bid farewell to America. THE DAY SET. The Committee has set September 22, 1914 to make the organization general. Where shall we land? Why if the United States do not prepare a home for us in Africa, we must settle down under the British, French, German and Belgium flags, and go on to work. We will soon open communication with their colonizing societies, on the planting of our colonies under their governments. The sons and daughters of Ethiopia must speak, rise up and do for themselves. This is God's will and the people must move North from the South where healthy camps can be established. LIGHT MARCHING ORDER. In preparing for the march North to campes in the campes should take no more than they can carry, handy. We must depend greatly on donations from all over the world. There will be no long staying in camps here. The main camps will be on the other side of the ocean, where we will need donations for the overland travel. Provisions of all kinds and animals of all kinds. Acclimated seed of all kinds and money by the bushel. We shall need one hundred well armed men to each colony of one thousand people, and we recommend shot guns and lances for all others. All colored preachers who do not preach the Black Movement to Africa are invited to step down and out. The work of God must be carried out. D. R. THOMAS, O. S. and Tr.

The Pythian squabble between the National. Pythians and the Virginia Pythians is unfortunate. And it seems very hard for the organization. At least, it gives them unpopular advertisement. And while we do not know much about the trouble, we do know that the head of the Pythians of Virginia, in the person of John Mitchell, Jr., there is one of the ablest and fairest men in this country. He is clean, painstaking and aggressive. He is beyond any question a builder. He has been able to build up everything he has put his hand to in the last fifteen years. And it is our guess in this matter that he is right. Do You Know Her? I would like to know the whereabouts of Frances Taylor. I am her abeaute of Frances Taylor. I am her sister, Lucy Ewell. When I last saw her she had two children, the older girl's name was Betsey Ann Taylor. This was about thirty years ago. I would like to know of the pastor of the second Baptist Church if he knows of a minMer by the name of Rev. Ewell, who was pastor of a church in Richmond, Va. about thirty years ago. Any information concerning Frances Taylor or Rev. Ewell will be appreciated. Address: MRS. LUCY SIMON, 2522 Toladona Street, New Orleans, La. WARTED ANOTHER GOOD LINCOLN CENTER. Apply at The National Bank. Forced to Marry Maid. Chicago Millionaire Pays Penalty For Improper Relations with Colored Employe. Chicago, Sept. 9.—Tuesday was an awful bad day for millionaire George Willis (white), a Grand Boulevard millionaire, who for three years had in his employ Ethel Smith, a young comely woman of 27 years as maid in his bachelor apartment. As water wears away rock, it seems this cultured gentleman's prejudices had sanished and before he was aware of things he was nearing the state of fatherhood and the maid the mother of his child. Tuesday, the climax came when he was hauled into court and made to marry the woman he had wrenged. Many a colored man is serving time in Jollet for such acts and this gentleman can consider himself fortunate that he was, sentenced to marry this young woman and pay her $35 per week until the child becomes of age. The judge that tried this case made him give a bond of $25,000 and pay the money into the court each week or month, as he desires. While in court, his honor in rebuking the man of wealth said: "Look at you, a man of intelligence in silks and satins, heir to the ages, taking advantage of this poor, illiterate, ignorant girl in this manner. If you were living in the South, you would walk off from your prey and not give her a dime if you disposed to do so. But the time is here now when all judges, to get the respect of his community and nation, must give the law as laid down and not as so feels." The judge sent the prisoner's brother for a kold ring and performed the ceremony in his chieftain. James Carter, 3025 State street, professional bondsman was best man man witness to the marriage. The millionaire's attorney said his client need not pay more than from $7 to $12. The judge dissents from this and said that law was for working men, but the child of a millionaire calls for more. Its station in life requires more to raise it. The judge refused to reduce the bond and the money allotted to the young woman. The case is a celebrated one and one that our daily papers ought to give big head lines after the way they cut up over the Jack Johnson case. This case will not reach the light of day as far as the papers are concerned and the poor, bonhished heath en will see that the king can do evil and he must answer for his evil doing. We are glad to know of a city and a state where the respect for law and woman stands so high. Statement of the Ownership, Managemenl, Circulation, Efe.

The youngster at this tender age knows all of the letters of the alphabet and he and his father visited this office last night and he called all of the letters distinctly on the calendars on the wall and can distinguish them very nicely. For his age he is a marvel and if its parents direct its mind in the right channel from now on he will be in his seventh year where the average boy reaches in his fourteenth year in school. He is using his blocks and his book, which are based on the most approved kindergarten method. Mothers and fathers would get more out of their children if they (parents) would watch the bent of the minds of their children and train them in the way they are inclined. The future of young Bonaparte is very promising. He knows all of the animals in his little book by name. A Card of Thanks. Mrs. Rosa Thompson, of Philadelphia, Supreme National Lecturer for the N. I.

Not one dull minute from the time you entered until the climax—Good Night. Some came on horseback, mule back, goat back, dog back and "believe me" they had something to carry back. Even the auto "back" was mustered into service. It was a "snoker" in every sense of the word.

JOHNSON, 2059 California street, Philadelphia, Pa THE ISLAND OF THE STAIRS Being a True Account of Certain Strange and Wonderful Adventures of Master John Hampdona Seaman, and Mistress Lucy Wilberforce, Gentlewoman, I, the Great South Seas. By CYRUS TOWNSEND BRADY By CYRUS TOWNSEND BRADY Copyright, 1912, by Cyrus Townsend Brady SYNOPSIS The body of Sir Geoffrey Wilberforce ruined gambler and suicides, is found by Hampdon, a sailor. Hampdon quarrels with Hampdon, and Hampdon breaks the news to Lucy Wilberforce and delivers a letter found on her father's body. It contains half of a map of a treasure island. Lucy already has the other half. There are directions for finding the treasure. Hampdon punishes the duke for insulting Lucy. Hampdon and Lucy start in a ship for the island of the Stairs. Hampdon steals a kiss, and Lucy has him imprisoned in a cabin. Desperate man in the crew mutiny. Pimball and Gibbby demand the map of the island of Hampdon, who pretends to possession. Hampdon demands possession of Lucy. He treats her with respect and offers to save her from the mutiners. The pair plot to escape to the island of the Stairs. The mutiners become intoxicated, and Hampdon and Lucy leave the ship for the island, which is nearby. They are coral reef to the island, where they find rude rules and mount a gigantic staircase of stone. The multiners pursue them, but are stopped by the reef, and Hampton and Lucy make a search for the hidden treasure. They pass a strange altar surrounded by masses of human bones and skulls and find the cave mentioned on the map. They discover a vast quantity of gold, shells and bones, canoes of savages approach island, Hampton and Lucy flee to the treasure cave. CHARTER XII Inside the Barrier W It troubled along the sand paralleled to the boat, which was following the course of the barrier reef, seeking what I knew they would not find—an entrance to the lagoon and thence to the island. The lagoon narrowed in places, until had it not been for the rear of the waves in the roof a ball could easily have carried. I am ashamed to say that I used insulting gestures on occasion, whereout some of them stood up in the boat and shook their fists in our direction. Although I was sure they could not reach us, their presence was a menace and a barrier to us. After they had rowed the length of the island they gave up and went back to the ship, which had followed their course. By this time the day was far spent. We retraced our steps and came to the place where I had hauled up the dingy. We were hungry. The provisions we had taken with us we had eaten during the journey. The first business was supper. I had noticed some coconut trees and other arrange tropical fruits, so I had no fear of starvation. We could live on the island indefinitely; therefore I was not sparing with the provisions. We kindled a fire and made shift to boll some coffee. We had neither milk nor sugar, but the state of civilization did good, the night I expained good, and drew it Nose against the coral wall, shred the sail and boat cloak upon the clean, dry sand, gave her one blanket and bade her take her rest. It was sang, dry and comfortable. "But you?" she asked. "I shall do very well here with my boat cloak and one of the blankets, and I shall lie across the stern of the boat between it and the cliff, out of sight, but within touch or call if you need me." "I am afraid," she said softly. "Nothing can come to you except over my body, and I am a light sleeper. Anything will rouse me," I said reassuringly. "I would not have you harmed, either," she persisted. "I shall not be." "There may be wild beasts." "I do not think there is an animal on this island." I laughed, "and we have seen no sign of man. The ship never should have attracted the attention of some one had not the island been deserted." "But those men out there?" "You forget the rampart that God has hung about us. Now, madam, you can go to sleep in safety, I assure you." "Before that," she said, dropping down on her knees in the sand and motioning me to follow her example, which I did awkwardly—I hope I am not a mocker or dubueller, but I confess that I didn't bend the knee—"we will have a prayer to gather." She had slipped a little prayer book within her dress, and she now drew it forth from her bosom and by the light of the fire read the Psalm of Dei, which hovens: "Out of the deep "But you?" abc asked. "I shall put be." have I called unto thee, O Lord, Lord hear my voice." And then she prayed, using some of the old collects of the church and adding one of her own making in which she bawled God to care for her further, while she thanked him for having raised up a defense for her in my poor person, only she did not so describe it. I listened very humbly, saying a heartfelt "Amen" at the end. There was a silence for a little space when she had finished, and in that silence I devoted myself before God to her service again, and then she rose and gave me her hand. "You have been a true knight and gentleman," she said softly, her eyes shining, and I thank you. She did only take it dumbly and stare at her like the great fool I was, whereon she smiled brightly, although her eyes suddenly filled with tears. "And now," she added, "God keep you. Good night." I then kissed her extended hand, which she suffered without resistance. I sat for a long time before the first thinking and making plans for our escape. The ship didn't give me much concern, because I was sure she couldn't come at us and in the god she must go away and leave us. A long time I sat there until I finally fell asleep. I must have slept some time and soundly for I was weared. It was she who awakened me. When I opened my eyes and saw her sweet face facing over me and hand her dear voice calling me I declare I almost felt as if I had died and gone to heaven and was being welcomed by an angel. Our first waking thought was for the ship. She was still there in the offing. She had been here to during the night. I could imagine what nerve debate and wrangling there were should her. The day that passed was much like the afternoon before. Although we were by this time persuaded that the reef was an absolute protection, a vague possibility that they could devise means to pass it in some way kept us uneasy on the sand. We must have them under observation. We were eager to explore the beautiful scale included by the huge rampart, but we did not dare to be where we could not watch the ship. We did walk down the river, and the giant stairs in the afternoon, where we watched the sea within calling distance of me. I managed to penetrate the jungle with ax in hand, so that finally I made shift to cut down a cocoa palm tree, and we gathered as many delicious nuts as we could carry and returned to the shore. That night the sun set amid lowering clouds. With a sailor's weather sense, I was sure that we should have a storm. I pimble and Gillybly sensed it too. We could see them making things anug slew and aloof. They were good enough seamen, as far as that goes, when it came would be off shore, and there would be off of the ship being driven upon our seaf, but there were islands to leeward, which they seemed to have forgotten, which I remembered. I explained all this to my little mistress as I made things sang for the night. She would be perfectly protected by the overhang of the cliff and the overturned boat, and I told her, although I left her, alone in the boat, the same overhang as the cliff would protect her, and the rain if the storm broke. And so after prayers again and a long look seaward we went to sleep. About midnight, so far as I could judge, I was awakened. The storm broke with all the suddenness and intensity of the tropics. Such peals of thunder and such flashes of lightning I have never witnessed, although I had been in many storms throughout the world. To sleep was impossible. Missress Lucy came out from her boat and stood beside me as we leaned against the cliff while the storm drove harmlessly over our heads. We could see the ship at intervals by the vivid sheen of lightning. She was making fearful weather of it. She was always a wet ship, and the huge waves fairly rolled over her. Once she went over nearly on her beam eods, and I thought she was gone. I didn't view her position with a great deal of regret either. Presently she drove off before the wind with a rag of her fore-tail still showing, and that was the last we saw of her or her man, we thought. Snow, bound under the lee of the cliff, we passed long and anxious homes the next day, although our ears midstorm was the incumony of the rainfall. If we were above browd and we had plenty of the suburban milk of the cowherd to vary our other food. The second day after it began the tempest finally blow itself out although the great surging snow still broke treacherously over the barrier roof and the spray shot a mroe of foot or more above the crests of the highest wave. It was only the reef of the storm, however, for during the night the wind had subdued into a gentle breeze. When we scanned the sea next morning there we, of course, no sign of the ship. Our first inclination, and there was none to say us nay now, was to mount the stair cross the wall and look for that cave. We had neither chart nor record left, we had but our memories to trust to, but we were both agreed that the cave lay in the inner wall and that the parchment said. It was the central one of three adjacent openings which gave entrance to the treasure chamber. And we could get a bearing on it from the central hill. Now I had noticed that the coral wall both on the outer and inner sides were honeycombed with openings, riffles, fixtures and caves which, by the way, were more frequent and deeper on the inside. We should have been compelled painfully and laboriously to search the whole face of the cliff in its extent of fifteen miles or so, but for the further direction of the parchment. I was thankful that, sailor like, old Sir Philip had given us the bearing. How did his words run? Something like this, my memory told me. "Toe tynde so mouthes of ye treasure cave take ye beating alongside ye mouthes of ye three Goddes on ye Altar of Skulls on ye middled hill. Wh yi line strykes ye biges knickles in ye walle with ye tite palma, his tree, bee three bobles. Climb ye stones. Enter ye stone. Plainly our dint duty was to descend into the inclosed valley and explore the billock in the center. I made no doubt but that we should find some sort of an altar and more of those curious stone images there. If they still remained the rest of our task would be comparatively easy. With this determination, therefore, we set out. As I did not know how long our exploration would require and as I rather thought we should have to make a day of it, we started betimes. Indeed, as we invariably retired shortly after sunset we naturally rose at the altar and along Good enough for the day, knowing that we could get water from the brooks and certain fruits which I judged would be good for us from the trees. We went directly to the stairs and mounted them. Delaying but little on the crest, we crowded it rapidly and finally entered the valley. It was with a feeling of awe that we stood. for the first time within the vast cup at the foot of the -inner- stairs, completely shut out from the world by the great towering rampart of rock which entirely inclosed us. I had never felt so far removed from the world as them. Outside, of course, the limitless ocean run beyond the barrier reef, but one could follow it unto the far end, far beyond the ocean. Within the cup the glance fell upon the rocky wall on every hand. It was almost like being in a prison for all its tropic loveliness. Beneath the trees and quite invisible from above, a paved road or path, barely wide enough for four to walk abreast upon, extended straight across the island to the hillock in the middle, while smaller paths seemed to follow the course of the walls on either side. The ground was gently smooth, and the trees were tall and badly broken, was in much better condition than the broader path on the D. D. We Went Directly to the Stairs and Mounted Them. top of the wall. I suppose the fact that it was sheltered protected it. We passed along it for a mile and a half without much difficulty. Finally we landed at the foot of the hillock. As I had observed from the wall it was grass grown and tree clad indeed, we should have been hard put to it to have ascended it. so dense was the vegetation, had it not been for the fact that the path was continued THE ECONOMY, 316 North Third Street. FINE TAILORING CLEANING PETRING AND HARDWARES. CHRISTIAN H. WHITE, Proprietor. around the hill constantly midnight. Where it is the most important distance earth had been any away on the hillside and the only airplane had here. Of course this path was brightly overgrown. We accompanied with the consent crew I briefly drew my little minibus, but they believed so well as my own, up the last skip ascent and stood upon the coast. We could now see why the top of the hill had second level when we first looked at it from the wall. Indeed, the coral rock rose in a sharp ascension eight or ten feet above the highest trusses, making a sort of tableland or platform. This level, probably artificial had been paved with the huge, dark gray rock of the stairs and statues and pathways. I may say in passing that in all our exploration of the island, which however, was not very thorough or complete owing to the shortness of our stay upon it, we saw no quarry whence this rock could be taken, and the only way of accounting for presence it had was to ascend the seas by the makers of the monuments and statues, whoever they might have been. They must have had large seaworthy vessels and adequate means of land transportation, to say nothing of a most considerable engineering ability to accomplish these might works. Well, the level top of the hillock was in shape a parallelogram, in extent perhaps an acre and a half. It was the most curious place it have ever seen. In the middle of it, with its four sides parallel to the sides of the plateau was a huge stone platform or altar perhaps 100 feet long by 70 feet wide. Completely surrounding this altar, but some distance away from it so as to make an aisle perhaps ten feet in length, was a stone platform, like those at the foot of the stair, into thesemblance of monstrous human faces. Not one of them was like another. There was variation in each as there is variation in human faces. All were ugly, but all were fitlike and were singularly enough European. CHAPTER XIII In Whoh We Enter the Place of Horse THE statues or images rose from a kind of terrace a foot or so above the level of the platform. paved as before. They formed a sort of cloister, or colonnade, around the central platform, which rose twenty or twenty-five feet above. On the center of the raised platform or altar stood three or more of the same monster beads, placed one after another, the largest one being in the middle. They were in line, all looking in the same direction which my compass told me. They were standing, therefore, toward the setting sun. At the front end or west end the great platform was approached by a slight step. The stones of the pavement were so runningly fitted together that only here and there had a seed lodged and grass grown. The stones of the platform or altar were also laid up without mortar and fitted in the same way. The altar was in perfect repair. Standing so high, the fierce winds that swept over the plateau and platform had probably assisted in keeping it clear of vegetation, of anything in fact, for save for a few scattered lines of grass it was as late as the palm of my hand. Well, we stood upon the platform and surveyed the scene in silent awe. Nothing in the parchment had led us to suspect all this, although I recollect the stone "Goddess" looking toward the niche with the big palm tree, the spot in the wall by which we were to locate the treasure cave. "Come." said I at last, breaking the silence. "I will have a newer look at those gentry." "It itmes like the temple of a vanished race" breathed my lady sortly, staring about her in growing wonder. "Aye, and of a vanished God!" I said, extending my hand. There was something weird and cerie about the plaster, and we felt better for the touch of each other's hand, at least I did. I always felt happier when I touched her little hand, but in this instance the feeling was somewhat different. In a certain sense it seemed like proftanation for us to be there, yet we went on steadily, if slowly. We passed by the colonnade of statues around the inner platform and deliberately mounted the stairs. Something. I know not what, made me bid my matress pause before we reached the top, and I looked to my pistol and loosened my sword in its sheath as I did so, although I did so and what I anticipated I cannot say. At any rate, I mounted to the top alone. There before me lay a platform which was sunk beech me for a depth of two feet and which was surrounded by a low wall, on the top of which I stood. The three images rose from a smaller platform on a level with the top of this wall in the midst, and the whole place was filled with a horrible and frightful mass of human bones. Skulls, legs, thighs and smaller bones, heaped in terrible confusion, lay bleaching before me, and the space between them was filled with a free dust, doubled the depth of bone which had molded away through tortuous bodies. Those that still preserved their shape were the top layer and were bleached perfectly white. They lay in all directions, as if they had been cast aside carefully and at smoother, yet there were indications that there had been a path from where I stood to the platform of the three images, which I perceived was just about long enough to lay a human body on. I stared approximately. I must confess, at this frightful channel house of the centuries. The only evidences of humanity we had discovered were these frightful skeletons. I would have prevented it, but my mistress suddenly came and stood by my side. Then I thought she would have fainted as the full horror of the scene jumpt upon her. "Men have been here," she followed. "Morrish, crest man." "You," said I, "but counterparts ago. Look, the house are bleached within. You have needed to fear." "Let us have the frightful sham." "Communicate." I mentioned, "but you will memorize the directions of the ship." I must stand up again that alight will get my bearings. The transverse shore should be in line with the ship and a ship or depression in the wall on the further side. "You, she replied, "I remember," "Well then," I said, "will you go down to the platform out of sight of the hottable plane and wait for me?" "Yes," she answered nervously, "theater Hammond, wherever you go I will need to be left alone." I tried gently to dislodge her, but, as usual, she would have her way, so that at least I gave in. "Well, then," I said, "I am least let me go before." I stepped down into the great receptible intending to clear the way with my feet by kicking away the layer of bones, and then, extending my arm behind me with both her hands caught in mine, she followed me down into the incisure. Of course we had to walk upon the broken remnants of humanity, but I thrust aside and skills, I could the larger pieces and skills, afterward learned, followed with her own rightly closed, trusting entirely to guide asses. Indeed, she clung to my body with all the nervous strength and power she possessed. So we finally reached the platform I lifted her up on it and followed myself. I led my lady carefully around the platform until we could stand at the rear end by the side of the line of statue and look across the island. Sure enough, there was the nik or dek of statue behind the wall by the "Jagge palmine tree" was gone or else an amd hundreds of trees like it. Behind it careful acutely showed a rough pyramid of stone leading up to what seemed to be openings in the cliff wall. So far every detail in the old becauseen's parchment was absolutely correct. I was certain now that the treasure was there and that we could find it. And a certain exultation filled me. At least we had not come upon a fool's treasure was there and the treasure would do us I did not stop to examine "We have nothing more to do here." I answered as I led the way to the edge of the low sitar. I leaped down and then turned to help my little mistress. She was very white, and I thought she was going to faint. I don't blame her, the scene was so terrible. I acted promptly. I reached up and took her in my arms and carried her as if she had been a baby, and, indeed, she was no great burden for me. Her head dropped to my shoulder. I didn't know whether she had fainted or not. Her eyes were closed. I ran swiftly across the inclement, descended the steps and without hesitation turned to the edge of the cliff. I stopped there, cursing myself for not having brought any water, but as I stopped she opened her eyes. "You are safe," and I gently. "The horrors are all behind us. See there in before you caught but the beautiful greenery of the island, and—" An expression of gratitude came across her face. "Let us go down," she replied. "We must never come near here again." "Please God, no," I repeated as we retraced our steps down the cliff and along the winding path, Mistress Lucy gaining strength and color as we passed out of sight of the hideous platform. It was necessary to go back along the path to the foot of the stairs. There were savannas here and there in the way where we treated and a lovely brook of cool, delicious water, where we broke our first, though it was not yet noon, but the openings all stopped before they reached the foot of the wall which was almost hidden in vegetation. I remembered the paths which had led off on either side from the stairs too. We followed one of them easily. The wall to our left was dotted with openings to caver, but none of them seemed to tilt the description we carried in our memories. The undergrowth deepened and grew denser as we progressed, and finally I had to open a way with my ax. The tangled masses soon gave way before my sturdy energy, and we entered a little clearing which extended to the wall. There was a groove in the wall, smooth the depression in the crest sure enough, the one in the middle being greater than the others, the entrance high enough to admit me, who am much above the usual stature, without bending my head. It was elevated half way up the surface of the cliff, and approach to it was by a pile of stones, not laid with the order and regularity of the 'giant stairs', but apparently piled together haphazard by people unkilled to make, any other practical way of ascent. It was difficult enough for us to climb, and the pile of stones evidently had not been mounted for years, and the stones had broken and fallen away in many places. Indeed I had to rebuild the pile here and there. When after arduous labor I peered within the cave I could see nothing but the blackness. When we left the ship we had taken a lantern and a few candles. I had brought the lantern with me that day. We now lighted it with the flint and tin and tinder and stepped silently in. My lady followed me close, as she had snilled, unwilling to be left alone and ever ready to face any peril in my company. Above the low entrance the cave wall rose to a height of perhaps twenty feet, and I stepped into chamber with gothic suggestions about it; for the cave before it hardened had been built into curious shapes and fantastic figures. We did not notice the so much at foot, for with a wild shark, my gentle companions suddenly caught my arm and peaked, downward. The floor, like that of the central aisle, was covered with human bones, a groovewise light for any one and only for a woman, and made more groovewise because of the dull lighting which was used to illuminate the white who and bed ordinarily bore alone a bare skin. We would possibly take a bone without bending it into then. I had to create the image myself from scratch because the sound and the noise to the ground, and it was me all. I had to appraise it too. It was too. As we had been unaware to pass on by, we do not get our business until we do it we weep and not the question we would have to answer this poor. He commanded our courage and we went on. As God was become accustomed to the light, far, far, the candle burns not but a dim distance over the vast apartment, the entrance was so small that little daylight came through, we saw the same kind of, built, of the same stones as on the hill, though much smaller. Boys of human being, men, women and children, I judged from the difference in size, lay upon it, and there were beads of bones on the floor around it. It came across me that it was another altar of sacrifice and that the worshippers had been also enters of such 'cancabals! Turning away from the altar to the right we found the way clear, and, with a sigh of relief, I drew Mistress Lucy reluctantly on. She cledged to me and was so frightened that I finally slipped my arm about her waist, whereas she made no objection. She has confessed since that she was indeed greatly pleased and that it was a comfort to her to feel the strength and power of my grasp. Holding the lantern before me, we cautiously proceeded farther into the cave toward the inner wall. The cave wall opened out into rooms apparently, didda dare go any distance from the main entrance for fear that I should lose my way, so I stopped, undecided what to do, which opening to enter, that is. "Oh, let's go back!" begged my mistress. "There is no treasure here. I am sure." "Nay," I answered. "With your permission, Mistress Lucy. I intend to explore further into the matter. Let me see." I held the lantern high above my head as I spoke. There above a certain entrance I saw a rode Latin cross. "Look!" I continued. "Some one has been here. The sign of the cross." "Yes," she said, her hopes reviving and her spirits returning a little at the sight of that abused symbol of our faith. "Don't you remember on the map marking the position of the cave there was a little cross?" "Bo there was!" I exclaimed. "Although the reading did not mention it." "No, but it is there nevertheless." I stoooped down—the entrance was securely closed, but quite broad and made to go through. "Wait!" She asked me in great alarm. "You can't go there and leave me here!" she cried. "I promise you that I will not stir three feet from the entrance if you will suffer me that far." I answered. "I must come, too, then," she urged. "I will see what is there first, and if it is safe you shall come with me." I answered. As I spoke I crawled through and found myself in another smaller chamber. There being no danger, I stretched out my hand to her and brought her through after me. From some distance I could feel it blow upon us, and it was sweet; also I could bear water babbling over rocks in the distance. It was a little damp in the cave, perhaps because of that. There was little light, however, save that cast by the intern. I could not see the farther wall. CHAPTER XIV. In Which We Find the Treasure and Are Attacked. We did not need to go further into the cave, for there before we lay a number of large wooden boxes or chests, moldy and ancient. The boxes had once been iron strapped, but the iron had rusted and the good had rotted. I found. I stepped over to one of them, the lid, which trembled at my touch, and there was the gots of gold and silver. Thousands of pounds lay to our hands! The old cancer had told the truth. The story of the parchment was not a romance; the plunder of the ancient galleon was there. For my part I would gladly have exchanged it all for a stout boat and a clear passage through the reef, with a chance for freedom. "Well, your great-great-great-grandfather, for how many generations back I know not, was right." I said at last. The treasure is here and we have fitted it in. We are amazed. "Tee" she said, whom the same thought had come, "but now that we have found it of what value or use is it?" "None," I admitted, "that I can see. "And. what may be its value, think you?" "I would make good bellast for a shin." "I answered lightly. "But if we could take it hence to England!" "Million's I can only greet." "I will give you one-half of it for your share," she said, laughing softly. "I want none of it," I returned seriously smooth. What possessed her to do it I know not, and she since confessed she knew not either. We stood there, looking down upon the useless treasure, when she turned to me on a sudden. "Now that you have seen it are you still of the same mind," she said mischievously, "that you would give up your portion of the treasure; for me" "Great God." I cried, moved beyond measure by her imprudent remark and thrown off my balance by her-dare I may-couetry. "I would give up the world itself for you. Don't you know me?" And I made a step toward her, but she put up her hand. "Hush, hush. Master Hampdon!" she eried, aflighted at the consequences of her pessimity, and I could awake she turned crimson in the candlelight. "The not time or place now. Remember that I am alone and that I am at your poetry." "I shall never forget that again." I said grimly. "This treasure removes you further away from us than ever." "What more year?" When you get back to Maggie and T. H. Thousands of Pounds Lay to Our Hands. take your place once more among your friends in that society to which, your birth entitles you and which this wealth will enable you to sustain"— "And who is to take me back to England?" "L" "How?" "I know not, but I shall do it." "And with the treasure?" "With the treasure, too; at least a sufficiency of it for all your needs" "And when you have done this amusing thing for you expect to disappear from my life, Master Hampdon?" "Aye, if need be." She laughed and I did not understand the meaning of that laugh either. "Let us search and see if there be anything else. Your answer spoke of jewels." he said. "Yes," she said, "there should be a smaller casket. Let us look further." There were perhaps a dozen large boxes. I opened them all. Some were quite empty, with a little pile of dust in them and a few shreds of color here and, there gibbli indicated silk had been packed in them. There were also broken barrels around which still clung a faint odor of spices. There were piles of rotted debris further on, and as I stirred one of them with my sword I strick something more solid, I brushed aside what seemed to be the decayed remains of cordage and canvas and finally came upon a smaller casket bound, hinged, and cornered with some kind of metal which I afterward found to be silver, for iron, would have rusted. The casket about a foot long by six inches wide and six inches deep. The metal which completely covered it was curiously chased. The casket was locked. I crumbled the wood in my hands, but could not open the lock. The edge of my ax, however, proved a potent key, and at last forced it apart, and as I did so out fell a little heap of what I judged to be precious stones. There were green, red, blue and white ones, among them many pearls and silly discord and valuables. The stones glistened with an almost living energy. My mistress was more familiar with those things than I, and I presented a handful to her. "Why, they are precious stones!" she cried in an ane struck whisper. "Look!" She held up a diamond and a big as her thumb nail. It sparkled like a sun in the candlelight. "And there is an emerald," she cried, picking up one of the green stones. "This blue one is a sapphire; this a ruby. Why?" she exclaimed. "There is a fortune stone. These jewels must be of fabulous value. The gold and silver we might be blind, but these we can carry with us." In my heart I was sorry we had found them, yet I had the grace immediately to say: "I am glad for that. We must gather them up, but where shall we put them?" "In the pockets of your coat for the present," she answered. Now there were not so many of them—perhaps three or four handbells—not nearly enough to dill the casket. I figured that it had been a jewel box with little trays or drawers and that the stones had been wrapped separately, but had all fallen together when the partitions rotted away. I easily found room for them in the capacious side pockets of my coat, and then we turned back to the outer room. Passing by the hideout paleter, we gained the light. It was now late in the afternoon, we found to our surprise. We had spent hours over the treasure and we had just time to retrace our steps and get back to the boat on the beach and partake of our evening focal when night fell. As we sat by the fire that night I made little bags out of a piece of canvas taken from a bread bag and we put the jewels into them, dividing them into equal parts. One bag she we constantly theretofter her person and I the other. She insisted that the rough and ready division we had made was permanent; that the bag I carried belonged to me and the bag she belonged to her. But I refused to have it so in spite of her argument, and there we left it. During the next two of three days we leisurely explored the island. There was nothing else on it to see which merita any particular description. We did not again visit the central hill, nor did we enter any other cave. We did not even go near the treasure cave again. On the contrary, we kept on the beach on the beach which was big above all tide and which was removed from the channel spits which made a mockery of the ocean grease with the shell. The bread was well prepared with tropical fruits, again. --- good for food, as I know. We caught fish in the impass and turtle on the sand. We lacked nothing to make us comfortable, even happy, except the means of escape. We spent our days in trying to devise home means of getting across the roof and back home again—that is, when I was not idly lying at the foot or following the footsteps of the woman I loved. I didn't want to get away, so far as I was concerned. I didn't care whether we ever got away. I had witt enough not to let her see, not to let her suspect that for a moment, however, and I tried to convince her by my conduct toward her that my kissing her on the ship had been but momentary madness, but I learned later that I failed immensely. the map now that a baby could see that I was dying for her, and I compose it in truth, but at least I didn't any anything. All or that outbreak in the cave I kept silent. Late one afternoon we stood at the board of the stair leading upward. We had come from a long minute throughout the way of the island, said as we stood on the top step, gave us usual instinctively turned toward the sea, perhaps seeking for the call of some rescuing ship. The water was black with great savage war enemies. "Great God, I哭ed; "fool yonder!" "I see, I see!" she哭ed to turn. "Who can they be?" "Dwellers from the other islands to the westward." I answered. "They could not see yet, fortunately; but after all, that mattered little. My little dog did not seem to be nearly as disturbed as I." "The roof will protect me," she said at last, looking at me confidently. "Not for a moment." I answered. "They will ride that reef in those light canoes more easily than we did." "And you think"—she instantly began. "Our lives are in God's hands. If I know anything these will be farcidous, bloodthinly savages. See! They are armed." I polished to one tall brown man, who stood up in the bow of the nearest canoe, fountaining a broad bladed spear. "We must hide!" she said. "But where? They will search the island." "In the treasure cave," she answered. And indeed that was the most likely spot. We had brought but little with us that afternoon. I had thrust a brace of pistols in my belt, and she herself, by my advice, always carried her two small ones, and I had my sword and ax, but everything else was in the boat on the beach. For a moment I thought of running down there and getting some of our things, but as I half turned to descend the stairs she detained me, divining my purpose. "No, not" she urged, clasping my arm with both hands. "We must make shift with what we have. Perhaps they may not discover us, and we can hide safely until they depart. Come! Let us go." There was sense in her remembrance. It might be that after performing their awful worship these most unwelcome visitors would return as they came, and by keeping closely hid we might escape an encounter with them. They would certainly find all our goods as soon as they crossed the roof and landed. But there was no help for that now. We had to make the best of a bad situation. We turned and ran down the path across the wall. I had forethought to gather a number of coconuts and some other fruits as we passed. I filled my own pockets, and then she made a bag out of the skirt of her dress and carried the rest. Presently I reflected that we had no need for such haste. There would be plenty of time for us to reach the cave and conceal ourselves long before they landed, so we progressed more slowly. It was almost dusk when we reached our shelter. I unrooted a small tree just as we started to climb the pile of stones, which I used as a lever to push down the heap in every direction as we climbed, so that it would be impossible for any one else to enter the cave without piling up the stones again. We passed by the stone altar and its skeletons, crept into the inner roope, fung ourselves panning upon the sand, and there we waited. In that secret and secluded shelter I thought that we were safe for the time being. Especially was I sure that they would make no effort to find us at night, as the place had anciently been some sort of a shrine. And in the morning I did not think that they would chance upon that particular cave out of the many in the coral walls without a long search, unless they had proposed coming just there for other reasons than we gave them. Even if they did stumble upon our hiding place early in the hunt, which I felt sure would be made for us as soon as they discovered evidences of our presence on the island in the shape of the dinghy, or at least at daybreak, it would take them some time to rebuild the rock wall again; and when they did enter the outer room they would find it a matter of extreme difficulty to get into the inner chamber so long as I was there. Unfortunately we had brought no powder or ball with us. We had no means of resisting our firearms, once they had been discharged. I resolved to reserve the four pistols we had for the last emergency. For other weapons I had my ax and sword, to say nothing of stones and even of the human skulls about the altar. I have said, I think, that the inner cave was slightly damp. The dampness arises from a spring of water Which bobbed away in some dust-crust which we had not shred to explore. We had, what provisions we had brought with us left over from our surcoach, which I had luckily preserved, instead of throwing it away, and an armful of coconuts and other fruit. These, however, would last us just a short while. If they couldn't come at us by force they could easily starve us out. Also they could, without too much trouble or danger, make themselves masters of the outer cave. Indeed, I scarcely thought it would be wise for me to attempt to preview that, and in that case they could wall up the entrance and leave us there [TO BE CONTINUED.] Murray I.

The case then hung fire until April 12, when Diggs and Caminetti were indicted. The prosecution lagged, but the case jumped suddenly laid national notoriety when John L. McNab resigned as United States District Attorney,saying, in an open letter to President Wilson, that political influence was being brought on the Attorney-General to prevent the cases from coming to trial. McNab's resignation was accepted, special prosecutors were named and the trials began August 5. FIRE MARSHAL KILLED Electrocuted by Metal Spouting on Roof of Burning Building. Fire Marshal George Welhl, of Mahanoy City, Pa., grasped a metal spouting to draw himself to the roof of a burning building and was electrocuted. The spouting was charged with electricity from a mix-up of telephone and electric light wires. Welhl's neck was also broken when he fell, sweeping two fellow firemen from the ladder. They escaped injury. Half a dozen curious onlookers were knocked off their feet by a wriggling line of hoose in the excitement. The fire marshal was forty-five years old and was a veteran of the Spanish-American war. Judge Speer III of Poisoning.

Mikado and Empress Honor Guthrie. Ambassador and Mrs. George W. Guthrie, of Pittsburgh, Pa., were the guests of honor at a luncheon given by the emperor and empress of Japan in Tokio. Great Events From Little Causes. While staying at the court of Frederick II. of Prussia Voltaire presented Mme. de Pompadour's compliments to the king, who scornfully replied, "I don't know her." Out of vengeance for so much insult, as she deemed it madame induced the weak minded Louis XV. to convert his country's long standing hostility against Austria into friendship. A Franco-Austrian army then took the field against Prussia, and as it was an easy matter for madame to enlist the practical sympathy of Elizabeth of Russia, who had been the subject of Frederick's inilliscreet remarks also, half a million lives were lost-London Notes and Queries. SEE THINGS RIGHTLY. The mass of mankind will never have any ardent zeal for seeing things as they are. Very inadequate ideas will always satisfy them. On these inadequate ideas repossess and must replace the general practice of the world. That is as much as saying that whoever sets himself to set things as they are will find himself one of a very small circle, but it is only by this small circle resolutely doing its own work that adequate ideas will ever get current at all — Matthew Arnold. Gettin' on Wi' His Gevf. "When can a person be said to have passed the notice stage in golf?" asks a Glasgow News correspondent. I have, says the editor, always regarded a knowledge of the rules and terminology of the game as fitting one to be classed above the beginner. But this is only my personal opinion. I heard another view expressed in the car recently. "Hoo's Mac gettin' on wi' his gowl' noo' asked one passenger of another. "Oh, fine." was the reply.

As the foot, in the journey of life, plod along places smooth and, others rough and stony, where the stormy hedge bodges out or hedges in, by the still waters and waters raging, in meadows green and meadows parched, through valleys and over hills toward the great city, what is more delightful than to fall in with a bright, lovely, particular spirit traveling the same way?—W.

A sheik who was thus favored was full of gratitude to the French engineers who had built him a house. OUR NEW SERIAL STORY Person of some Importance WHO WAS HE? Since the golden days when he wrote with Stevenson, Lloyd Osbourne has told no tale comparable to this. Its opening and its closing chapters are in those adventurous south seas where they worked together on "The Ebb-Tide" and "The Wrecker." With the return to the locale of their mutual labor, the brave and gallant spirit of R. L. S. seems to inspire his pen, and it does not desert him when the scene shifts to a New England village. He has chosen for foundation an event that a few years ago shocked and thrilled the whole world by reason of the high station of the man connected with it. Its tragic aspect he roles of tragedy and turns to romantio issues. As its consequence he involves an American man and an American girl in adventures now astonishing, now sudden and passionate, now bizarre and whimsical, now richly humorous, now keyed to the shrill pitch of excitement and always mysterious and alluring. --- "Since my house was finished," she said. "I have not lost a single sheep. I lock them up in my house every night, and next morning I find them all in safety." "Then where do you keep yourself?" asked an officer in amazement. "Oh, for myself, a shlock can live only in his tent!" said the other, with dignity. Grandfather's Portrait A villager, intensely conceived and ignorant, but quite wealthy, was persuaded to have his grandfather's picture repainted. The artist, not having been decently treated by the villager, drew the portrait almost in a nude form. It tolling it up, be told the man not to look at it before the coming New Year's. On that day the villager ordered the picture to be hung up that he might pay it his New Year's respects. As it was being unrolled he frantically waved his hands and shouted: "Walt! Walt! The old gentleman is not ready, for he is not yet dressed."—From the Chinese. Hints to Young Authors A youthful aspirant consulted a successful woman author about the art of succeeding in literature. The author's reply, says the Manchester Guardian, was a curious variant on the famous advice in "When a Man's Single." "You need indomitable perseverance, a typewriter and a mangle," said the writer. "Do you mean I had better take in washing?" asked the aspirant. "Nonsense. You need the mangle to take the crosses out of your manuscript. Mangle them well, and then, unless the editors have burnt them with cigarette ash, no one can tell they have been out before." A. Participant Question There are great men who cannot spell, and small people who object to it. "Spell 'cat.'" said the teacher to the boy at the tail end of the class. "K-a-t." resulted the boy. "K-a-t," replied the boy. "Silly," replied the teacher. "Can't you spell cat?" "Well," replied the sensible boy. "what does k-a-t spell?"—Philadelphia Ledger. Historio St. Sepulcher's St. Repulcher's, the city church at the end of Holborn vladet, whose churchyard is open to the public, dates, as the name implies, from the time of the first crusade. Of the present edifice, which had suffered sadly from "restorers," only the fine tower, one of London's landmarks, retains medieval masonry. From the top of this tower "rich Dodington," the brother-in-law of Walsingham, throw himself to avoid a chancery lawsuit. "If I do break my neck," said Bacon to Queen Elizabeth. "I shall do it in a manner as Mr. Dodington did it, who walked on the battlements of the church many days and took a survey where he should fall."—London Chronicle. He Told Her. Inquisitive Passenger—and what is that curious thing you are carrying? Sailor (with winch crank)-This, mum? It's the crank what they use for winding up the dog watch—London Answers. Feminine Economy. "I understand Harry," remarked the acquaintance, "that your wife has started to practice economy." "Yes," replied Harry; "she is practicing economy, all right, and if your wife is thinking of taking a turn in the same direction you had better get busy and head her off before it is too late." "I don't understand you, Harry," said the acquaintance, with a perplexed expression. "I should regard economy as something to commend." "Yes," was the smiling rejoinder of Harry, "but not when your wife is buying your white shirt for three for a dollar so that she can get herself a twenty-dollar hat." -Chicago News. D. J.

Bee comb or beeswax, the material of which the honey cells in the beehive are composed, is a wax produced by a system of chemistry carried on in the "wax pockets" which are located in the abdomen of all working bees. It is a peculiar substance and is said to be analogous to the fats of higher animals. Originally it was supposed that this wax was taken up in an almost pure state from the flowers by the bees, but experiments carried on by the leading botanists and chemists of the world conclusively prove that the bee is capable of elaborating his peculiar wax, although confined to a diet purely aschartin in its nature. The Nearest Approach An English tourist visited Arrau and being a keen disciple of Izak Walton was arringing to have a day's good sport. Being told that the cleg, or horrifically, would suit his purpose admirably for a lure, he addressed himself to Christy, the highland servant girl, "I say, my girl, can you get me some horsemess?" Christy looked stupid, and he repeated his question. Finding that she did not yet comprehend him, he exclaimed: "Why, girl, did you never see a horsemess?" "Nan, sir," said the girl, "but a whanse saw a coo jump ower a preshliice." Old Paint Two parts of ammonia to one of turpentine will soften old paint or varnish and make its removal easy.

ONE WAS SERIOUSLY SHOT 81226 Found In Pockets and at Former Home Show His Connection With Hold-Up—Family Arrested. Barricaded in a house in Wilmington, Del., all sides of which were guarded by wary city police, Homer Cleveland Wiggins, the eighteen-year-old murderer, who scaled the walls of the eastern penitentiary during the night of Aug. 20, killed himself in this city after holding at bay a large part of the police force of the city in a battle which lasted nearly two hours. In so doing he carried out a decision he announced to his mother only a few hours before. "They're after me," he said, "but they'll never get me alive." Immediately after the police broke down the door of the room in which the youthful desperado made his last stand and found him dead, they discovered evidence which, they say, shows conclusively that Wiggins was the lone highwayman who held up the cashier at the car barn of the Wilmington & Philadelphia Traction company several weeks ago, and took from him $1800. In a wallet in his pocket was found $560.75. A long black leather case, when opened, disclosed $150 in new $1 bills. In a money belt worn beneath his clothing was found $990 in $10 and $20 bills. Besides this there was $20.75 in change in his pocket. From the house at Fourth and Ship lee streets, where Wiggins came to his end, the police went to the home of his mother, Mrs. Lillian Margaret McDermott. 217 South Harrison street. In the cellar they found a tn bucket, in which was $636.80, principally in nickels, dimes, quarters and half dollars, such as would be collected by conductors of trolley cars. Buried near the chicken house in the back yard, still more money was recovered, the total amounting to $1226. This discovery was followed by the arrest of Mrs. McDermott, George H. Golt, a brother-in-law of the dead slayer, Harry Wiggins, a brother, and John Taylor, a friend, who was at the McDermott home. They were placed under $1000 ball each by Madistrate Churchman for a further hearing on charges of having stolen goods in their possession and being accessories to the car barn robbery after the fact. Before he died Wylkins duplicated, in part, the crime for which he was sent to the penitentiary. On June 26, 1912 he shear and killed Thomas Dowling, a policeman, who attempted to arrest him at the warehouse at Sixth and Vine streets, Philadelphia, where the youth was trying to dispose of some stolen alloverware. For this he was sentenced to twenty years in prison. During a rush by the police in the early stages of the battle the trapped murderer sent a bullet into the left breast of Sowell Scott, a policeman, wounding him severely. Physicians at the Delaware hospital said that his condition was serious, but it is expected that Scott will recover. The bullet passed entirely through his body. When the police finally broke into the room from which Wiggins had defiled them with a leaden hall, they found him lying upon the floor, his head resting against the bed. In the stiffened, fingers of each hand was grasped a revolver. A bullet hole showed over the left temple, and the face was bathed in blood. Two Colored Boys Shoot Up Town. Two drug crazed colored boys brothers, began a reign of murder in Harriston, Miss, that ended only after three white men, three colored men and a colored woman had been killed, several persons wounded and two boys lynched. A serious clash between the races was prevented by the arrival on a spe cial train of a company of national guardsmen from Natchez. The dead are: Sheriff G. B. Hammett, former Constable Frank Kelatny, Claude Freeman, Johanna Alken, Tom Weeks, Jesse Thompson, Theod Grayson. Walter and Will Jones, lynched. The shooting was started by Walter Jones, twenty years old, in the colored quarter, where the colored woman and Thoad Grayson were shot and killed. Walter then went to the home of his mother and aroused his eighteen-year old brother. Together they proceeded through the main street' of the little town, firing at everyone in sight. With the blood lust at the highest pitch, the two youths made their way to a cottonseed house nearby. Finding his hiding place too precarious, Will Jones started to run towards a coal chute nearby, but had gone only a few steps when a bullet ended his life. A rupee was placed around the body. It was stung up to a telegraph pole near the station and became a target for everyone not shooting at the wood house. Boon after Will Jones was killed Walter Jones picked Tom Weeks, colliged, off the coal chute by his deadly him. Weeks fell to the ground dead. Not long after Weeks was killed the special train bearing the Natcher guardsmen arrived. While the soldier were detraining the crowd rushed the seed house. Not a shot greeted them, and as the leaders went into the place with drawn weapons they found Walter Jones completely unarmed but not injured. They quickly placed a rope around his neck and rushed him to the coal chute. As the captive was drawn up the rope broke and he fell heavily to the ground. Bandite Hold Up Flyer in Alabama Abbaima Great Southern train No. 7, from Birmingham to New Orleans, was held up and the mail and express cars robbed at Bibbville Siding, three miles south of Woodstock, Ala. The robbers, both masked, were described as "mere boys." One report has it that they obtained $50,000, although the express messenger said he thought the losses would be light, probably not more than a few hundred dollars. Three posses started a man hunt for the bandits within a few hours after the robbery. Two of these met and each mistook the other for the robbers. James Bonner, a deputy sheriff, of Birmingham, was shot and killed by a deputy from Montgomery county in the melee that followed before the mistake was discovered. Mayor Gaynor's will, rodd and fled in the office of Surrogate Ketcham, in Brooklyn, distributes the estate, valued at more than $2,000,000, to his widow, sons and daughters. Rufus and Norman, the sons, get twosevenths of the principal, and the three youngest daughters, Ruth, Marlon and Holen, each one seventh. Five hundred shares of the Royal Baking Powder company stock, valued a $180 n share, and the Brooklyn home are left in trust to the widow in lieu of her dower rights. To his favorite sister, Mary, the late mayor bequeaths 115 shares of the baking powder stock and the Utica, N. Y. home. There is no bequest for his married daughters, Mrs. Harry Vingut and Mrs. William Seward Wobb, Jr., except a remembrance of $100 each. Find Skeleton In Wall of Mansion. In the wrecking of the mansion at Clinton, Ill., erected forty years ago by Colonel Thomas Snell, a casket containing the skeleton of a child was found skillfully concealed in the walls of the structure. An inquest was held, but no clue to the mystery was forthcoming. The homestead has been untenanted since the death of Colonel Snell, whose will, disposing of a large fortune, was the subject of long and sensational litigation a few years ago. Missouri Capitol Caves In; Two Killed Two carpenters were killed and three were injured when a pit for the foundations of the new state capitol at Jefferson City, Mo., caved in. The dead are H. Green, of Willamapo, Pa., and S. C. Hyde, of Oklahoma City. Okla. Quickson caused the dirt to slip, tearing out the casings. --- Surgeon Pricks Finger; May Dite, Dr. Robert J. Morrison, president of the Williamsham hospital in New York city, pricked his finger accidentally with a needle on Saturday afternoon noon and is critically ill of blood poisoning. Dr. Morrison had operated on a baby suffering from gangrene. Runaway Hits Carriage; Driver Killed. Charles Yard was killed while driving a cab in a funeral procession on the main street in Easton, Pa. A heavy wagon coming down a hill upset the cab which Yard was driving. Four mourners were in the vehicle, but all escaped with slight injuries. Drank Quart of Whisky; a Maniac. Drinking nearly a quart of whisky, Gilbert Wilson, a fourteen-year-old boy, of Altoona, Pa., became a raving maniac. It required three city firemen to hold him before he was taken to the city hospital, where he is now in a serious condition. Boys' Eyes Turning to Stone. With both his eagst fast turning to stone, Benjamin Wood, thirteen years old, of Grand Rapids, Mich., was placed in the state school for the blind at Lansing. Specialists say that a complete state of petrification has set in. Three Brothers Shot; Two Dead. Joseph and John Hill were shot and killed and their brother, Bige Hill, was injured severely in a family quarrel near Grand Chain, Ill.

The books of the stock exchange firm of Harris & Fuller, whom Governor Sulzer dealt with for three years, were changed two days before his inauguration, so that it appeared that instead of his account being a speculative one, the firm had merely loaned the governor money, according to evidence adduced at his impeachment trial in Albany, N. Y. Mrs. William Sulzer had borrowed money from the Carnegie Trust company, of New York, and it was to aid her in her financial difficulties that the governor borrowed from the stock exchange firm of Harris & Fuller. This was the explanation which Melville B. Fuller, head of the firm, who was under examination, said the governor made to him. Mr. Fuller, who produced the firm's books, testified that a "cross entry" had been made in the governor's account under date of Dec. 30, 1912, showing that the firm had loaned him $40,000, or the debit balance against the account on previous stock transactions. These dated back to early in 1910, and there was put into evidence letters showing that during that time the firm had repeatedly called upon the governor for more margin because of the steady decline of the stocks involved in the account. Some of the securities Mr. Sulzer had bought through the firm; others he had deposited as margin against those he had bought, and at the same time had borrowed money on them. His total borrowings, including the $40,000 debited against him in the "cross entry" transaction, amounted to $180,000, according to the books. The "cross entry" was made, Fuller testified, because his partner thought "it would not be wise to have stock floating around the street in Governor Sulzer's name." Otherwise, as is frequently the case, the stock might find its way into the collateral put up in the firm's transactions with banks. Mr. Krewsel, attorney for the impeachment managers, intimated that this "cross entry" was not made on Dec. 30, 1912, but at a later date. The books showed that on June 16, 1913, another "cross entry" had been made after a check for $5000, given by former Governor A. E. Springs, of Montana, had been paid into the account, and that, as in a regular speculative account, dividends oh the stock had been credited and interest charged. Fuller identified a note written by Governor Sulzer to his partner in relation to the Springs check. It read: "What Governor Springs says is agreeable to me." Fuller said the Springs message related to closing the account and that the outcome of the conference was that Lieutenant Commander L. J. Josephthal, of the national militia, and a member of the governor's staff, took up the account on July 15. "Did he present an order?" "He did." Kresel produced the order. Fuller said he never saw it until it was produced before the Prawley investigating committee and couldn't say whether it was the same now as at the time it was presented. It was dated July 14, 1913, and read: "Please deliver to J. M. Josephthal the securities held as collateral for my loan on payment of debit balance due thoreon." It was signed "Wm. Sulzer, for Mrs. Sulzer." "Did Mr. Sulzer ever have anything to do with this account?" "No." to do with this account?" "No." "Did she at any time ever call at your office?" "No." "Did your firm ever have any communication from Mrs. Sulzer?" "No." "Did she ever pay any money to your firm in connection with this account?" "No." Kresel brought out that Josephthal paid $25,739 to take up the account, and that the net result of the transactions on July 15 was a loss of $7414. Fuller then said that on the day after he was subpoenaed to appear before the Frawley committee the governor sent for him and that he saw him at the executive mansion. "What was the conversation?" It took place in the governor's library after dinner. I told him I had been subpoenaed before the Frawley committee and that I felt that any client of our office was entitled to all the protection the law could give him. I added that I would have a consultation with my attorney, and if he advised me not to testify or appear with my books, I would not do so. "The governor said to me that Mr. Marshall was not there. The governor said Marshall's opinion was that they could not force me to produce my books and that the committee was not legally organized. I said I'd rely on my own attorney. Then the governor said to me, 'Did you know those securities I deposited with you were Mrs. Sulser's?' She had a loan with the Carnegie Trust company, which was very annoying, and that's why I borrowed the money from you. I said that nothing like that could be shown on my books, and if he wanted to prove that the books of the Carnegie Trust company would show it." It was announced at the White House that President Wilson had indefinitely postponed his contemplated trip to Panama in November. Until the currency bill is passed the president will not leave Washington for any length of time. Cut This Out Paper.

Attorneys for William Suiter are planning to bring out testimony in the impeachment trial that will counteract that given by Duncan, W. Peck, who sword his committee in the case, and his committee perjury when called by the prosecution and asked to tell of his 1863 campaign contribution.

Schildknecht, the young cashier who embuzbeld $50,000 of the funds of the Washburn Crosby Flour company in New York city and disappeared about a month ago, is penniless in Montovideo, Uruguay, according to a statement made by the youth's mother before United States Commissioner Gleishrist. Mrs. Schildknecht admitted that her son had sent her two cabbage peeling for money to keep him from starving in the South American city. The cashier's gray-haired mother was called by Attorney William Leser as a witness in the bankruptcy proceedings started by the flour company and others to recover at least a part of the money stolen by the boy cashier, who for six months before his disappearance lived like a millionaire, invading expensive gifts on Miss Effe McMian, who posed as his wife. Mrs. Schoildknecht wopt bitterly when forced to testify against her boy. She said that last Sunday morning she received a message from Monevideo asking for $300. The mother was for sending the money to help her boy, but his father, she said, refused to hear of it, because he feels the disgrace keenly and is not inclined to be lenient. On Monday, she said, another message came to her home, reading: "The of the undersigned, are surprised and indignation there should be any rules made segregate employee of the national We protest against this as a plain insultable injury to Colored Americans, the free republic. We petition you to reverse movement by your bureau chiefs, in accord with, just and Christian treatment of of paper any number of names can be lodges, societies, etc.—Sign on one ANET, 311 N. 4th Street, MOND, VA.

A comfortable night was passed by United States Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, who has been in a serious condition at his home in Nahant, Mass. for some time as a result of an illness which necessitated an operation last Friday for the removal of a gas/oiloler. This was the word that came from his home in the exclusion of this peninsula town. It was added that the senator was better than his physicians had expected. TARIFF BILL PASSES IN HOUSE Report Settling All But Cotton Tax is Adopted. MAY BE LAW SATURDAY Underwood Lauds the Measure and Declares Democrats Have Kept Their Pledge to People. The conference committee's report on the tariff bill was adopted in the house. This disposes finally of the measure in the lower branch of congress, with the exception of the plan to tax dealings in cotton futures. The senate is expected to take similar action, and the bill is expected to be made law and put into immediate effect by the signature of President Wilson by Saturday. The vote was 254 for the adoption of the report and 103 against. The question of imposing a tax on cotton futures may be taken up in conference again, with a compromise in prospect or the feature may be dropped from the bill and be considered in separate legislation. The only obstacle now is a possible revolt in the senate, which might throw some features of the bill back into conferences, but such a contingency is not expected in any quarter. "The rates of the tariff bill as it comes back to the house for approval proposes a lower taxation than any tariff bill in the last three quarters of a century," said Underwood. "The bill as it is now before the house is lower in its rates than either the bill that passed the house or the bill that passed the senate, for the house conferences accepted all but three or four of the reductions made by the senate, while the senate receded from over one-half of its increases. "This tariff bill, with its 26 per cent average, is almost as low as the famous Walker tariff which had low duties on liquor and tobacco. This bill places many of the necessities of life on the free list, or gives them very low rates of intl." Underwood's statement was greeted with applause from the crowded Democratic side. In contrast with the average tariff of 26 per cent ad valorem in the present bill, he said the existing Payne-Aldrich law had an average of over 40 per cent, and the Wilson bill, passed in the last Democratic administration, had an average of more than 39 per cent. The revenues under the new law, Underwood said, would yield a surplus of $18,000,000 over estimated government expenditures in 1915. He gave the house treasury experts figures to show that the total revenue in 1915 would be $1,020,000,000, expenditures $1,020,000,000 and surplus $18,000,000.

In one of the three hospitals of the country there is a waiting room, where patients sit until rooms of wards are assigned to them and where visitors sit waiting their turns to visit friends or relatives who are sick there. One morning a boy stuck his head in the doorway and shouted: "Mr. Anderson." Two men started up. One stepped forward quickly and followed the boy, and the other dropped back into his meant. The boy led this Mr. Anderson to a small room on the third floor, and Anderson went in. Two doctors were there, surrounded by all sorts of terrifying apparatus. "Anderson?" asked one of the doctors. "Yes, sir." "Come here and have your stomach washed out." "But," protested Anderson wildly, "I don't want my stomach washed out." "GRAB HIM!" RETORTED THE DOCTOR. "That's what they all say! Grab him!" retorted the doctor. And they took Anderson, showed him into a chair and in a twinkling had a squirrel pump in him. After the operation the doctor looked sternly at the witted and shivering Anderson and said: "Confound you! You ate some breakfast this morning. I told you to eat nothing." "Of course I ate my breakfast!" walled Anderson. "Why shouldn't I eat my breakfast? I never saw you before." "What are you in here for?" demanded the doctor. "Why?" gasped Anderson. "I came here to see my wife"—Saturday Evening Post. Tendernease We can help make people bright by our keenness, but we can never accomplish anything toward making people good except by our tenderness.—Parkhurst Teo Appropriate. In his book, "Recollections of the Old Church," the Rev John Elvy gives a rather amusing instance of a certain English bishop's want of tact. The bishop had been asked to give an address to a meeting of workingmen, and a special feature of the meeting was that the men were asked to come just as they were, in their working clothes. Most of them came straight from work, and they were highly intelligent when the bishop announced as his text, "Wash and be clean." Mandela's Selection It is related of Mendelssohn at a public dinner at which ladies were present and where he was surrounded by a chorus of aggressive women clamoring for his autograph, that he allowed himself to be eclanimated with good nature until finally a fleshy maiden of mature years handed him her card. Whether with mildly prepense or not it is not stated, but the composer wrote upon the card the music and words from Haydn's "Creation: "And God created great whales." This brought the autograph hunting to an end, and Mendelssohn was allowed to go on with his dinner. Making ft Easy. There is a certain bright newspaper man in New York city who is also rather clever as a lawyer. Owing to his multifarious duties and somewhat attrenuous life he semiclassically indulges in strong drink as a relaxation. One day recently, after he had had a few, a friend said to him: "See here, Kd, why don't you cut out the firewater? It's a shame that a man with your brain should ever cloud it with whisky." Kd gazed at his friend for a moment with a pained and faraway look and replied: "I'm not clouding my brain. I promised it to a medical college to be preserved in alcohol after my death, and I am only starting the preserving process, that's all." Persian Inventiveness A foreign minister, traveling to Teheran from Becht, stopped at one of the small stations for some food. The head of the tea house, being asked by the dragonman what he could give them to eat, replied he had very little-only two eggs and a chicken. After a little while one egg was brought in and set on the table. The dragonman asked where the rest of the meal was. This was the answer: "The chicken shows every sign of laying the second egg, and when she has done so I will bring it to you, and then I will kill her and cook her for you."—From "Peepa Into Persia."

Oh, let them rest In peace along the peaceful shore; They fought for peace; for peace they fell. They sleep in peace, and all is well. Lo, peace on earth! Lo, flock and fold!

A Copy of Supreme Keeper of Records & Seal C. K. Robinson's Timely Report: To the Officers and Representatives to the Sixteenth Biennial Session to be held at Baltimore, Maryland, August 25th to 30th, '13. Greeting: St. Louis, Mo., July, 1913. Dear Sir and Brother—As the time approaches for the next Supreme Lodge Session, I feel that the representatives and officers should know our true financial condition, in order that they may think and plan for the betterment of those conditions. The very short time allowed at the Supreme Lodge Session for the consideration of vastly important questions, is not sufficient to permit the members to become thoroughly familiar with conditions as they really exist. At this time I feel it highly important to lay these matters before you, believing as I do that the hearts of the majority of our members are true to the principles of our great institution. During all the years that I, by your trust and confidence, have served as S. K. of R. and S., the desire nearest my heart has been to see our beloved Order established on a firm financial basis, and to attain this end, the records will show that I have time and again called your attention to much needed reforms in the handling and disbursement of the funds, but as stated above, the shortness of time in which to carefully consider my suggestions and investigate conditions has caused the representatives to look lightly upon them and no doubt has brought about the present crisis. In the face of the record of my frequent efforts to raise the standard of our financial system, as well as to add to our source of revenue, no honest member of the Order will dare accuse me of impure motives. CAREFULLY STUDY. sincerely trust that you will take the time to care curres given in the following statement before dis- pay one, in order that you may be fully familiar wi biennial report submitted to the Supreme Lodge Ind., in 1911.

FURTHER EXPLANATION. 1950.00 of this law, according to your law, is pay Supreme Lodge fund, $1,000.00 out of the Unifor and $2,500.00 out of the Endowment fund. The do not include the general expenses for office re- servation, traveling expenses of officers, etc., which amounted to $13,203.39 to be paid from the Fund. The receipts for the Supreme Lodge fund 1 amounted to $8,272.02, which left your Supre as follows: Disbursements $13,203.39 Collections 8,272.32 Deficit in S. L. Revenue $4,931.27 believe that Uniform Rank Department should be The Receipts in that department now equal if Supreme Lodge receipts, see Major General's repo no reason why the Supreme Lodge should be burd the salary and carrying other expensions of that de $5,950.00 of this amount, according to your law, is payable out of the Supreme Lodge fund, $1,000.00 out of the Uniform Rank fund, and $3,250.00 out of the Endowment fund. The foregoing amounts do not include the general expenses for office rent, printing, stationery, traveling expenses of officers, etc., which for the last term amounted to $13,203.39 to be paid from the Supreme Lodge fund. The receipts for the Supreme Lodge fund to July 31, 1921 amounted to $5,272.02, which left your Supreme Lodge treasury as follows: Disbursements ... $13,203.39 Collections ... 8,272.02 Deficit in S. L. Revenue ... $4,931.27 I believe that Uniform Rank Department should be self-sustaining. The Receipts in that department now equal if not surpass the Supreme Lodge receipts, see Major General's report. And there is no reason why the Supreme Lodge should be burdened with paying the salary and carrying other expenses of that department. THE ENDOWMENT DEPARTMENT The disbursements and collections of the Endowment Department of the Supreme Lodge, were as follows: Endowment expense disbursed.....$26,981.00 Endowment collected.....14,550.00 Deficit in Endowment Revenue.....$12,431.00 This left the total deficit as follows: Deficit in Supreme Lodge.....$4,936.00 Deficit in Endowment.....12,431.00 Total Deficit in both.....$17,367.00 This enormous deficit was met by the Emergency fund. The law does not permit the expenditure of more than 25 per cent of the Endowment fund collected annually for operating expenses; your collection, you will observe for the last term was $14,550.00, yet the expense incurred against that department was This enormous deficit was met by the Emergency fund. The law does not permit the expenditure of more than 25 per cent of the Endowment fund collected annually for operating expenses; your collection, you will observe for the last term was $14,550.00, yet the expense incurred against that department was General expenses ..... $ 2,807.81 Salaries ..... 8,181.00 Rent ..... 337.50 Legal expense ..... 5.00 $11,331.31 Death claims ..... 15,650.00 Total ..... $26,981.31 There is no emergency fund now from which the deficiency can be met $5000 was loaned out of the Pythian Temple fund for this purpose this term. FACING A CRISIS the last session I warned you of the conditions when you, and urged you to prepare to meet the crisis. The men of the convention saw the impending danger, and correct it by presenting remedy after remedy, all failed. I have no criticism to offer as to the action that time but I feel it my slemn duty to again urge to the deplorable condition of your treasury at the sides of the officers of the Supreme Lodge have not been September 1912, and when the session convenes at Belfast find an enormous deficit, that can only be met in a, and proper regulation of expenses. And one Grand Lodge has been forced to protest arms unjust taxation, and it remains for the Representitilmore session to exercise their very best wisdom in this question as well as the question to the manner of handling our finances, either our expenses or increasing our revenue be in, in order that the several departments of Lodge may be self-austalaining. There is no other that this broad country today that is successfully or loose financial methods used by our Supreme Lodge experience of the True Reformers should be a to all. At the last session I warned you of the conditions which confronted you, and urged you to prepare to meet the crisis. The conservative men of the convention saw the impending danger, and sought to correct it by presenting remedy after remedy, all of which efforts failed. I have no criticism to offer as to the action of the majority at that time but I feel it my selemn duty to again call your attention to the deplorable condition of your treasury at this time. The salaries of the officers of the Supreme Lodge have not been paid since September 1812, and when the session convenes at Baltimore, you will find an enormous deficit, that can only be met by wise legislation, and proper regulation of expenses. Already one Grand Lodge has been forced to protest against what it terms unjust taxation, and it remains for the Representatives at the Baltimore session to exercise their very best wisdom in dealing with this question as well as the question of adjusting the manner of handling our finances, either by reducing our expenses or increasing our revenue by wise legislation, in order that the several departments of the Supreme Lodge may be self-sustaining. There is no other organization in this broad country today that is successfully operating upon the loose financial methods used by our Supreme Lodge. The recent experience of the True Reformers should be a sufficient warning to all. ORDER TAXED AND OVER-TAXED Order has been tazed and over-taxed, until the pat- tership has almost reached the breaking point, and union to page 292 of the minutes of the 1911 arm the following resolutions presented by Sir Fran- D.

The Order has been taxed and over-taxed, until the patience of the membership has almost reached the breaking point, and I call your attention to page 292 of the minutes of the 1811 session, which bears the following resolutions presented by Sir Francis H.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA Supreme Lodge its proper authority to receive a Per Capita tax upon the membership. If this resolution prevails there will be no further need of extra taxations. It will produce a revenue of about $15,000 annually that with the sale of supplies and the control of a regalia and printing plant, with proper regulations will place the Supreme Lodge on a sound financial footing. Article X of the original laws as adopted, amended and published in 1880 in 1886 read as follows: "Each Grand Lodge shall pay to the Supreme Lodge the sum of $125 annually for each representative to which they are entitled, etc. and to make annual returns to the Supreme Keeper of Records and Seal with same." The collection of $25.00 biennially, is inadequate and there should either be an increase in representative tax or a new law enacted creating a per capita tax upon the membership as outlined in the foregoing paragraph. Since I have been your Supreme Keeper of Records and Seal, I have built up a splendid revenue from the supply department, and made several efforts to direct your attention to the advisability of operating a National Supply and Regalia House, and I again urge here, there is no good reason why certain officers should be operating Regalia Houses for their personal benefit when the Order needs the revenues from sales for its maintenance; that if you are not in a position to start a plant equipped and owned by the Supreme Lodge, you should at least control the sales of supplies and regalia to Grand Lodges and members of the Order, through the office of the Supreme Keeper of Records and Seal, in order that the Supreme Lodge may receive its just portion of the revenue derived from its influence and membership, by private concerns, as is the case at present. FINANCIAL SYSTEM SHOULD BE ALTERED There should be some alteration in your financial system, largest amount of revenue coming into the organization is through the Endowment fund, and if the Supreme Chancellor is to control handling this fund as at present, collecting and paying them our will, it is certainly not good business sense to permit him to apply his own Finance Committee to audit his own accounts, as they are not independent, and subject to removal by him at any time, when course unit them to render the Supreme Lodge honest, office service. This is a burning issue and ought to be remedied at our Officers came to the last session without reports, some with the books and vouchers missing, acknowledging their carelessness failure to make proper reports for two years, while the Final Committee, overlooking all these fragrant violations of the law, was losing time attempting to find flaws in the books and accounts the Supreme Keeper of Records and Seal, which after all, they were forced to admit were properly kept, as examination by experts previously shown.

The largest amount of revenue coming into the organization is through the Endowment fund, and if the Supreme Chancellor is to continue handling this fund as at present, collecting and paying them out at will, it is certainly not good business sense to permit him to appoint his own Finance Committee to audit his accounts, as they are not independent, and subject to removal by him at any time, which of course unit them to render the Supreme Lodge honest, efficient service. This is a burning issue and ought to be remedied at once. Officers came to the last session without reports, some with their books and vouchers missing, acknowledging their carelessness and failure to make proper reports for two years, while the Finance Committee, overlooking all these fragrant violations of the law, were losing time attempting to find flaws in the books and accounts of the Supreme Keeper of Records and Seal, which after all, they were forced to admit were properly kept, as examination by experts had previously shown.

If your Finance Committee was free to act, the above conditions could not possibly exist and your Supreme Chancellor would be in a position to enforce the law and the recommendations of the Committee whose duty it is to rigidly examine the books and determine the expenditures without fear or favor to any one, then confidence in the Officers and The Supreme Lodge would soon be restored. I believe the above suggestions if approved will sufficiently amend our laws to meet the present demands. With the facts I have plainly put before you, I trust you will rise to the full stature of your manhood at the Baltimore session, and assist in taking such steps as will secure the future of our beloved organization, and thus enable those who trust you with their interests to say: "I shall not fear."

ROBINSON, S. K. of R. & S. Daddy's Bedtime Story — Dannie Had One Reason For Being Glad. SOMETIMES Jack grumbled when getting his face washed. It did that, no matter how he scrubbed, he could not get his neck clean enough to please his mother. Evelyn seemed to have no time and she would often tell Jack he ought to look into the glass to see before going downstairs in the morning. Both the children came in to daddy with shining faces and lovely hands. Dannie Does Not Like to Be Washed. He washed. It did seem it got his neck or ears need to have no trouble into the glass to make faces and lovely clean SOMETIMES Jack grumbled when getting his face washed. It did seem that, no matter how he scrubbed, he could not get his neck or ears clean enough to please his mother. Evelyn seemed to have no trouble, and she would often tell Jack he ought to look into the glass to make sure before going downstairs in the morning. Both the children came in to daddy with shining faces and lovely clean hands. "A lot of dirt does seem to get into little boys' ears," daddy sympathizes, though, you do not make as much fuss about it as Dannie did. "Dannie is just five years old. His daddy is a doctor, and so when he is hurt his father mends him, and when he is sick he has to take his medicine. "Now, getting his ears washed has always been one of Dannie's goals. Nora, the maid who takes care of the children, is always in a hurt. "When Nora comes to Dannie's face she always looks into his ears and, taking the cloth, pokes and scrubs until sometimes the little aid they will come off. "A lot of dirt does seem to get into little boys' ears," daddy sympathised. "I hope, though, you do not make as much fuss about it as Dannie did. "Dannie is just five years old. His daddy is a doctor, and so when Dannie gets hurt his father mends him, and when he is sick he has to take his daddy's medicine. "Now, getting his ears washed has always been one of Dannie's greatest trials. Nora, the maid who takes care of the children, is always in a hurry. "When Nora comes to Dannie's face she always looks into his ears very hard and, taking the cloth, pokes and scrubs until sometimes the little boy is afraid they will come off. "And, of course, be squirms and squeals and sometimes cries outright. Then Nora scolds and shakes him and says it is more trouble to wash his face than to bathe all the six others. "One day the children were out in the garden playing. I believe the game they were having was tag, a game which you know, is quite lively. They darted about here and there, trying to get away from Ned, who was it." "Dannie was just in front of Ned, and his foot tripped over a stone. Down be went, and his head struck the edge of the walk. A stone cut his forehead, and when the children ran to help him up the blood was pouring from his forehead. "Much frightened, they led the bleeding Dannie into the house. Luckily the doctor, his father, was at home and when he heard the little boy's screams came hurrying out. Pickling Dannie up in his arms, he carried him into his office and wiped away the blood. "It hurt a good deal, but Dannie only sobbed while his father took a needle and thread and stitched up the cut. After that the doctor wrapped some white gauze around and around the hurt forehead." "Everybody noticed that Dannie stopped crying. "Put lots on, daddy, he spoke up. 'Put lots and lots on so my ears will all be covered up. Nora can't wash them now.'" Telling Ways. "Adele has some telling ways." "Yes, and one them is she can't keep a so crot."—Baltimore American. Cornared. "Love conquers all things," said Vernall.

The Scrap Book Senator Earle Chamberlain of Oregon smiled a few nights ago when the topic being talked turned to vacation time. He explained that he was reminded of a recent conversation in a popular cafe. It was during the lunch hour, the senator said, and four genial business men were sitting at a table. Outside the air was soft and balmy, and everything in nature was a sweet allurement to buy a railroad ticket and beat it for the woods. "It is in my system," remarked one of the party reflectively, glancing through the open window. "There's nothing so appealing as the call of the wild." "It may strike you that way, old fellow," responded another, with a saint smile, "but right here I beg the privilege of casting a dissenting vote." "You don't know what you are talking about. Jim," emphatically declared the first. "Did you ever hear the call of the wild?" "Yes," replied Jim, with something akin to a sigh, "from the head of the stairs the other night, when I didn't get home till 2 o'clock in the morning." —Philadelphia Telegraph. Tongue Couplets. "The boneless tongue, so small and weak, Can crush and kill," declared the Greek. "The tongue destroys a greater horde," The Turk asserts, "than does the sword." The Persian proverb wisely saith, "A lengthy tongue—an early death." ```markdown ``` Or sometimes takes this form instead: "Don't let your tongue cut off your head." While Arab sages this impart: "The tongue's great storehouse is the heart." From Hebrew wilt the maxim sprung. "Though feet should alp, ne'er let the tongue." The sacred writer crowns the whole— "Who keeps the tongue doth keep his soul." Rips For an Explosion. It was children's Sunday, and the father of a growing family proudly led his assorted offspring up the alale and to the baptismal font to have a long neglected ceremony performed. "Aba," said the clergyman, rubbing his hands in delight; "a fine family, air, and what will be their names?" The proud father drew in a big breath and began; "Clarence Wood Burst. Helen May Burst. Frederic Otto Burst. Oscar Will Burst. and Mary Kant Burst." While the clairvain was fanning for air the patter of rain was heard on the church roof. "I think, sir," he said, "we're going to have a cloudburst"—St. Louis Post-Dispatch. A Misunderstood Jest. Lord Lytton when viceroy of India was sent one day at dinner next to a lady whose name was Birch and who, though very good looking, was not overintelligent. Said she to his excellency: "Are you acquainted with any of the Birches?" "Oh, yes!" replied Lord Lytton. "I know several of them most intimately while at Eton—indeed, more intimately than I cared to." "My lord," replied the lady, "you forget the Birches are relatives of mine." "And they cut me," said the viceroy, "but," and he smiled his wonted smile. "I have never felt more inclined to kiss the rod than I do now." Sad to say. Mrs. Birch did not see the point and told her husband his excellency had insulted her. A Rude Awakening. Somewhere in Connecticut there lives a man named J. Coolidge Hilla. Many years ago he was disporting himself with a party of friends in a lively surf down on the Long Island shore. A young woman of the party was overwhelmed by an unexpected breaker and before she could be rescued suffered a near drowning. "It wasn't so bad after the first fright," she said. "I seemed to lose consciousness entirely, and when I came to again I thought I was in heaven. And then I looked around, and, oh, dear! I was dreadfully disappointed. I saw Mr. Hilla, and I knew it couldn't be beaver."—New York Post. Called. Friends of Johns Hopkins university are striving to raise $750,000 to match Mr. Rockefeller's offer of $250,000 and complete $1,000,000 for the removal of the institution to Homewood, a splendid old estate on the heights overlooking Baltimore. Dr. Ira Remsen, the president, is enthusiastic over the new site, and he dwelt upon it in an address to the students. During his remarks he said impressively: "I stood on a bluff"— Some one whistled softly, and a wave of merriment followed. The doctor was nonplused, but repeated, "I stood on a bluff"— Vainly the doctor tried to complete his sentence. Afterward, he asked members of the faculty what it meant, but they pitied his ignorance and claimed they did not know. Finally the doctor was told of certain elemental facts of the great American game of poker. The climax came when he overheard students referring to him as "a badly old sport."—Baltimore Sun.
