Odd-Fellows Notes. Odd-Fellows Notes. The "Big Mogul" is refusing to accept the tax forwarded by the alleged suspended Lodges. That wont "cut any ice," each one of these Lodges will have a voice in the District Grand Lodge in August. This is safely guaranteed because we know of what we are speaking; therefore every Lodge must have its delegate on the ground clothed with the proper credentials, etc. Armour Lodge has elected P. N. F. W. S. Roundfield as its representative in the District Grand Lodge. Armour can feel assured that its interests are secure. P. G. M. W. E. Searles represents Savannah Lodge, P. N. F. J. S. Causey, Mt. Tier, P. G. M. S: H. Jonhison, Myrtle. They will make a great team. Pythlan Pointers. We have been informed that "Meddler" has received several letters commending him for the stand he has taken and from the gist of them all, the present Grand Chancellor will have not a Ghost of a chance in July. The Pointer man has also received a few letters some of whom accuse the wrong Sir Knight as being the Pointer man. Who is keeping the. Knights in the dark respecting representation in the Supreme Lodge? The present Grand Chancellor savs that "We have been kept in the dark" respecting it, yet when he was asked to bring us to light, he refused to do so. Now who is keeping us in the dark? In Georgia five years is enough for one man to serve as Grand Chancellor. We have too many able Sir Knights in the state to continue one man in office. Double endowment has caused the present prosperity of the Grand Lodge and not the sagacious and able (?) management of affairs by the present head. The "Bachelor," need not fret, "THE TRIBUNE and her squad of job hunters," are not looking for anything. THE TRIBUNE management has nothing to do with Pythian affairs other than evincing the same amount of interest as any one would who keeps up with public affairs. Many a slate will be broken in July. No advantage will be taken of any one because the Grand Lodge will meet in Savannah. Glenwood Dots Mrs. H. Newkirk is on the sick list this week. Mr. S. S.

Mr. Editor— As a professional bulldozer Countryman has but few equals and when it comes to professional sophism he has no equals nor superiors. He is a typical sophist. Being unable to meet the issues, he is trying to deceive the people by keeping them in the dark and refusing to give them the facts for which we asked. He knows that both of us have been out among the people and that Creswill has no show at all for re-election. The people think five years is long enough for one man. The people do not believe that because Creswill is to be moved that all of his Deputies and other officers are to be moved. They will not consent to any wholesale changes and we agree with them, for it would not be wise. To Creswill's credit be it said, that most of those who now hold office under him (in our judgement) are among the very best men we have in the order. We are glad to inform you that Charley Clark's election is generally conceded by the people. It is now only a question of his majority and another article from Countryman—like those he has written already, will only help to swell that majority. The people are now'on to Countryman. They say that his failure to answer our questions proves conclusively that he is trying to bluff and mislead them. But you haven't got us in the dark Countryman. We see something as well as you. Its a well known fact that you are the King of all the politicians in the Order. To frighten Clark and get him out of the way you threaten to give his place to Russell. To frighten Lee and keep him quiet you threaten to give his place to Matthews. You don't seem to know where Cohen stands and hence you tell him if he will keep quiet you will let him remain where he is, otherwise you will give his place to McCarthy. Do these positions belong to you to be issued out at will or to the G. L? This was a sharp political move on your part Countryman to keep these men quiet but we are on to you, it wont work. So you have a trick or two to turn, eh? Well, Bennie, tricks sometimes turn upon the trickster and I fear this will be your fate if you attempt any of your tricks at Savannah. As far as we know, neither Clark nor any of his friends have asked you for any advice as to how his campaign should be conducted—you are too changeable and fickle. Have you been "sugared" Countryman, the reason you have shown yourself such a weather-coock? You started out by professing to be for Clark and proclaiming him through the columns of the Independent as our next G. O. After which you professed to be for both Clark and Creawill. You said both were clever chaps and if you could you would vote for both. Next we find that after you had received so many letters from all over the State (2) asking you to run, that you did—"the most unkindest act of all." You knitted both of your friends Clark and Creawill for whom you had professed such friendship and announced yourself as a candidate! Gee whiz, what a friend! But much to your sorrow and grief Meddler came along with the unwelcome news and knocked all of the wind-out of your sails by informing you that you could not be elected G. C. no, not even as a compromise candidate. 'This of course made you "scratch where it didn't itch" and we fancy we can see that radiant smile that you had been wearing in anticipation of your election melting away as the dew beneath a tropical sun. We look again and we fancy we can see you snorting and foaming at the mouth, exclaiming "That little Meddler down by the sea-did it; that little wind mill that I could not afford to notice, has blown all of my hopes away." We saw Geo. S. Williams the other day and we asked him if he told the Countryman or Editor B. J. Davis that he was the Meddler and George said no: Now from whom did you get your information? It seems that the Countryman is not particular as to whether he states facts or not when he writes. His aim is to create a sensation, regardless of the facts. We cannot afford to do this. We have some regard for truth and because of this Countryman claims that we are not up to the standard. We will not tell the public that the Countryman is Editor B. J. Davis nor will we tell the public that the Countryman and the "Lonely old Bachelor" are one and the same person because we do not know these things [P] but we will tell the public a few things that we do know viz: That in the article written in the Atlanta Independent signed, "Countryman" that Countryman made statements and assertions that are not true. Yes, statements that he know or he should have known were not true. If you would have us reach your standard, Countryman, you must set it high, not low. The standard that you have set for us thus far in your articles signed "Countryman" has been too inconsistent and void of truth for us to reach, and you ought not to complain if we refuse to reach down to it because we have no desire to reach down but up. We claim that you have not set the proper standard. We claim that the standard that you have set for us thus far is a very questionable one, not worthy of imitation. Now, if what we claim is not true, answer the following questions, which you on account of that tree cherous memory of yours forgot [?] to answer in our last article: 1 Did you tell the truth when you said that Clark was never elected to an office before in his life until Creswill elected him at Albany? 2 Did you tell the truth when you insinuated that there was a thief aspiring to become the head of the order? If this is true give his name. 3 Did you tell the truth when you said the people are now electing Representatives all over the State and instructing them for Creswill, when you know or you should know that all Representatives to the G. L. were elected (according to law) since Dec. 1904? 4 Did you tell the truth when you said no one was displeased with Creswill except the fellows who want jobs? 5 Did you tell the truth when you said that you admire Creswill? because of the enemies he has made Most people admire a man because of his ability to make friends and retain them; but you admire a man because of his ability to make enemies. Is this another type of the standard that you would have us reach? 6 Did you tell the truth when you said the people care nothing about the workings of the Supreme Lodge—that all they wanted was a business like administration like that which Gen. Creswill is giving us? If so, tell us why did the people or those who represented the people vote against the Pythian Temple tax imposed upon them by the Supreme Lodge? Tell us why did the G.L. of Ga., go so far as to instruct its two Supreme Representatives (that it was forced to elect on account of the terrible state of affairs now existing) to vote and do all they could against this tax? When it is remembered that we will be forced to do the same thing again [when the time comes for the election of Supreme Representatives] unless we move Creswill and when it is remembered that our present Supreme Representatives are in favor of this tax (that they have been instructed to fight) to vote and we to expect? Now, honor bright, Bennie don't you think it would be better for us to have Creswill step down and out and thus remedy this evil? Is Creswill so pre-eminently fitted for the position of G. C., that there is no other man in the Order to fill his place? You say you want to honor him for what he has done? Have we not already honored him for five long years? How much longer do you want to honor him? May be you want to honor him for what he may have done for you and pour paper? How about it Countryman? Is it a game of "You tickle me and I tickle you"? Again, why don't you tell the people the facts about the amount of money now in the treasury? Why don't you tell them that while Creswill is due much honor, that the amount that has accumulated there is due main- ly to the double endowment tax that was instituted at Brunswick? Why don't you tell the people that the reason there has been such an increase in members that the desire now seems to be quantity and not quality. And if the people should ask you, Ben, if it would ruin the Order to move Creswill, tell them the truth. Tell them no; tell them that greater men than Creswill have lived and died and the world moves on today as though they never had existence. Tell them, Ben, that no man is so important that his place cannot be filled. Tell them these truths. Don't lead the people in the dark! Lead them in the light! Do this, Ben, and you will set a standard that every man can honor who loves truth, loyalty and devotion. Now, Countryman, you have insinuated that as compared to you we are unknown. This is true, but remember that our face is not seen every week in a newspaper as yours is, so you ought not to expect us to be half so well-known as you. After all Countryman, it's not a question today of how well one is known, but in what way he is known: You say when you shout you make them "holler" all over the State, but thus far Countryman you have "hollored" louder, longer and oftener than any one else, for almost every week you have filled up one broadside of your paper with your long puffish wall and if you "holler" so loud and long when you are struck by a little "Wind mill," we do not think you ought to complain if we "holler," just a little, especially when we are fired at so often by that terrible [?] Countryman, who says himself that he holds all Pythians at bay. Bye-bye Countryman, now don't forget to answer our questions, for we have a few more to put to you but for fear that treacherous memory (?) of yours may not be able to retain them, we have decided to give them to you in broken doses. Now unless you answer our questions and set yourself right before the public we will have to put you down as one who handles the truth carelessly or as an irresponsible person who suffers from mental aberration. Yours for right, truth and justice. Meddler. Mr. EDITOR—You or your printer, by omitting a whole clause in our first article made us say what we didn't. We did not say that we were in favor of Clark first and Creswill next. By referring to our manuscript you will see we said—"We are in favor of Clark first and, if there was no other good man in the Order (which is absurd) then Creswill." Please make this correction for . . . Meddler is correct in the above and we take pleasure in correcting same.—Ed. Sunday Club. For some weeks the Men's Sunday club have been holding regular meetings at the Masonic Temple. At these meetings' important subjects have been discussed. There are in the city of Savannah many conditions which are of vital importance to life and progress of the Colored citizen. These conditions in most cases are only known to exist, and is the exception when any of them are fully understood. Therefore it is the aim of this club to inquire into these conditions and as far as possible to offer remedies and also to aid in the execution of the same. The idea of the organizers have been emphasized in the last two meetings viz: That the times demand the better informed, the more fortunate and prosperous to come out from their closets of seclusions and lift up those who are dying in the most pitiable surroundings. Savannah has in its midst men and women who have for the last 30 years been attending boarding schools in other cities and states. Their trainings have fitted them for this great work and if they are true to this training they must do their duty. The Men's Sunday club brings the opportunity to you. Will you accept? Do you doubt that there is something to be done? Read the report of the Savannah Health Officer: This report was read at the last meeting and a committee was appointed to endorse portions of it. Committees from the Men's Sunday club, the Frances E. W. Harper Society and Charity Hospital were appointed to consider plans for the establishment of a Day Nursery. Sunday the 28th of May, will be Ladies day, a special program has been arranged. You are most cordially invited to attend.

DEATH OF RORKE’S DRIFT HERO Sergeant Henry Hook, V. C., formerly of the Twenty-fourth Regiment, died at Gloucester on Sutiday at the age of fifty-four. Sergeant Hook, who won his Victorla Cross: at the defense ‘of Rorke'’s Drift, was an attendant of the British Museum for twenty years and recently retired owing to'illhealth, his V.

When I could not obtain large pleasures I put together as many small ones as possible. Small pleasures, depend upon it, lie about as thick as daisies in summer, and for that very reason are neglected, trodden under foot, instead of being worn in our buttonholes. We cannot afford to buy roses at Christmas, or camellias at any time, and so we couple buttercups with vulgarity, and things that grow in the hedge side we let wither where they grow, for no other reason than that the king's highway is not a royal garden—Woman's Life. How to Care For the Hair. Mothers should teach their girls to care for their hair as early as possible. If a girl is coaxed into the habit of giving her locks a hundred strokes with a clean brush every morning and every evening and braiding them loosely for bed, the foundation for a future beautiful head of hair will be laid. Too many children are allowed to go to bed with their hair in taued condition, only to have it jerked and tangled hastily when school time comes around. Such a practice is disastrous to the nerves of a sensitive child and rulous to the hair. Never allow one child to use the other's hairbrush. Indianapolis News. Scraps of Leaf. Scraps of lace, both new and old, and especially those of floral design, are most useful to the ingenuous and tasteful woman for beautifying her gowns. She begins by cutting out the leaves and flowers from the net foundation and applying them to the silk or other material which she desires to adorn. Then she works over the design, covering up the lace well with silk, and so gaining a really good effect. The lace answers all the purpose of a stamped design, and indeed it is better, for it causes the embroidery to stand out well without any padding, and, if nicely arranged, is more pleasing and far more original looking than any of the patterns, sold at shops, which every one may have who cares to pay for them.—Newark Advertiser. The Girl Who Poses. Have you ever happened to meet the girl who is always posing? There are girls, and many of them, who are afflicted with this habit, and it is, indeed, a bad one. Just give her a seat within range of a mirror, or the visions of some few persons, and she is content; give her a sympathetic listener, a pair of admiring eyes and that is all she asks. Her one redeeming feature is the fact that she had rather pose than talk. Her silence is to those near her, really golden. At home the mirror is this girl's most constant companion, and before it she studies herself in every conceivable attitude, looking for her best points so that she may show them. If she has one really good feature that is brought into effect at all times; if is never allowed to go unobserved. Her companions and friends are never allowed to forget for one moment that she possesses that feature. The girl who poses never forgets herself and her attitudes long enough to do things for which she might be loved. She is generally not popular with either sex, for she is too obviously seeking effect. There is nothing genuine about her. How to Look Young. A young old woman Yes, there are such women, but they are also few and far between. A limited number of the female sex have really found the art of growing young even though Father Times tries all in his power to discourage it, but it cannot be accomplished by the beauty doctors, masseurs or physical culture teachers. As one noted beauty says, "it is easily accomplished by simply overlooking the approach of old age." A woman who wishes to retain youth cannot afford to worry over trifles, and much less over large affairs. A statement that there is no trouble large enough to pay for one wrinkle, may be attrib- uted to one who knows how matters stand, and perhaps if more women would accept advice of this nature there would be less old women. The grace of growing old is the art of remaining young. If one did not worry there would be less wrinkles to fight, fewer complexion doctors necessary and greater happiness would exist. Girls entering school worry until they graduate, then worry about getting a husband, and after capturing one worry for their children until they are along into years, and practically the same thing occurs over again. The mother worries her future son-in-law and daughter-in-law, and when all is accomplished she begins to realize her advancing age, and steps are taken immediately to undo all that the past years have done and it is one of the things that cannot be accomplished. One must start from the beginning, and it is well to teach the daughters the value of self composure, of checking their nerves before it is too late, the great art of looking at life pleasantly, and not taking it too serious a matter. Life is short, almost too short, but during that time women cannot afford to allow age to come upon them until it is time. It is their duty to look as well as possible at all times and not for a moment must it be considered a burden—Newark Advertiser. Fashions For Little Boys' Suits. Little boy fashion to suit the little boy's mamma must unite a certain elegance and taste with 'small expense. Just at present there are two general styles from which all others are derived—one the plain blouse relieved with straps, a large collar, reveres and similar trappings, and the other a pleated or tucked blouse which is adorned and varied in like fashion. Both are long waisted, with long effect, from the shoulder to the hem of the blouse, and the wide belt is drawn down in the front to a moderate degree. Modes for the little folks are less rigid than formerly, and especially in the little boy's wear, and his mamma has the privilege of reckoning with his age, stature and size in general. The patterns are growing simpler. One will find now that, the tucked blouse has quite taken the place of the founced and ruffled ones, which were worn by boys several seasons ago. Lightweight serge and cloth are used extensively as the most popular materials for the boy for his spring attire, and such suits are economical and stylish. For boys under six years of age there is no style of dress more becoming than the kilt, made Highland fashion, and a blouse. Moreover, the kilt is a much more healthy dress than trousers, as it gives perfect freedom, while providing a sufficient amount of warmth for the most vital parts of the body. The chief thing in putting a child into kiltds to be sure and have the skirt kilted, and not side pleated, which last named more often than not sticks out on all sides with quite a ballet skirt effect. In a proper Highland skirt the skirt must be no longer or shorter than to just cover the tips of the knees, the waist edge being at the height of the waist edge of the trousers, and finished in the same way, if suspenders are to worn. Otherwise the skirt should be sewn to a lining bodice. There is never any marked change in the fashions for small boys' clothes during the hot days, for the sailor and Russian blouse suits seem to be the best that can be designed, and, consequently, the fashion remains in favor in all weathers. FRILLS FASHION Lighter patterns in silk braid are the vogue. Novelties in both color and design prevail. Horizontal tucks for the bottom of skirts are all very large. The keynote of good style in embroidered trimmings is the broderie anglaise. Velvet bands and bows will give just the right touch to the fashionable costume of fancy silk. A very smart trimming for silk or fine cloth is a combination of Venise lace and broderie anglaise. A three inch Hercules' braid, embroidered in silk in Persian colors, is a recent idea in dress garments. Laces will adorn everything this season, and Valenciennes, the most exquisite of fine laces, is in highest vogue. Little ribbon and silk bows, sometimes so small they suggest tuftings, are used to dot surfaces and spaces that otherwise would be flat, trimming skirt flounces, bodice, yokes, etc. CHILDREN'S DEPARTMENT THE SHEARING. The day they cut the baby's hair The house was all a fidget; Such fuses they made, you would have said He was a king—the middget! Some wanted this, some wanted that; Some thought that it was dreadful. To lay a hand upon one strand Of all that precious headful. While other said, to leave his curls Would be the height ofolly, Unless they put him with the girls And called him Sue or Molly. The barber's shears went snip-a-snip, The golden fluff was flying; Grandmother had a trembling lip, And aunt was almost crying. The men folks said, "Why, hello, Boss, You're looking five years older!" But mother laid the shaven head Close, close against her shoulder. Ah, well, the nest must lose its birds, The cradle yield its treasure; Time will not stay a single day For any pleader's pleasure. And when that hour's work was weighed, the stakes were even maybe; For the little man, it might be better. A VISITING RAINBOW.

It was the best hour of all. The children took turns choosing what the story should be about. Today it was little Marle Alberti's turn to choose. It was a dull, gray afternoon. Outside the snow was falling, and the wind was scooping it up and tossing it against the windows? and heaping it in drifts in the street. Marle had come from Italy, where the days are long and sunny, and she did not like the cold and the snow. She thought often of the green fields filled with flowers, where she used to play, and longed to go back to them. "What shall the story be about?" said Nurse Gilbert. Marie looked at the storm outside; then she looked at Nurse Gilbert, who was busy sewing bright-colored ribbons together to make a bag. "Oh, oh!" she said. "Tell us a story of a rainbow, a bright, beautiful rainbow; such as spreads itself after a rain over my hills of Flesole." So Nurse Gilbert told of the strange adventures of a little boy and girl who went out to search for the pot of gold which fairy stories say may be found at the end of a rainbow. While Nurse Gilbert was telling the story Marie forgot about the snow and the cold, but when it was finished she sighed and said: "Oh, how, I wish I could see again a beautiful rainbow!" The next day, when nap-time was over, the sun was looking in at the windows, as-if to see how the children were-getting on since his last visit. But what did Marle Alberti see on the wall over her bed? She looked and looked. Surely it was a piece of a rainbow. All the children wanted to know where the rainbow came from, and Nurse Gilbert went to one of the windows, and took from the ledge a piece of glass. It was cut in diamonds and squares, and when she moved it to, and fro in the sunshine the children saw pieces of rainbows dancing about the room. "This ball of cut glass is what makes the rainbows," she said. "It used to make rainbows for me when I was a little girl. Now it may make rainbows for you." Each day the glass set in the window, and when the sun shown the rainbows came on the wall and traveled slowly round the room, and the glass stood in such a way that the rainbow began at Marle's bed and traveled down the room to little Betsy Frazer. One day, when Marleah been watching the rainbow for a long time, she said to Nurse Gilbert: "Do you think, Nurse Gilbert, that the children in the other room would like to see the rainbow?" "Why, to be sure," said Nurse Gilbert. "Shall I send the rainbow-maker to pay them a visit?" "Yes, yes!" cried all the children. "Let it go visiting the others, and see if they like it." They liked it so well that what do you think Nurse Gilbert did? Why, the very next time she went shopping she bought a glass rainbow-maker for each of the rooms where the children were ill, and now every day when the sun shines beautiful rainbows come visiting the children who lay in the little white beds.—Elizabeth Flint Wade, in Youth's Companion. DOROTHY'S BIRTHDAY GUESTS. Dorothy was to have a birthday party, and had been promised that she should make out the list of guests herself. Dorothy called in her very best friend, Caroline, to help her, and the two, with paper and pencil, devoted at least an hour to deciding who should be the ones favored with invitations. When the list was completed, it was brought to the smiling mother for approval. Her eyes opened with astonishment, for it was a yard long, consisting of pieces of paper pasted together. "Why, child!" she exclaimed, "what have you here?" "Only 500 names," said Dorothy, "and at the ball I read about in the paper the other day there were 600 people, and I guess I want to be as fashionable as other people." The mother run her eyes over the list. It included all Dorothy's playmates and most of her acquaintances, and then followed a list of such names as Ala Baba, Harom Alraschid and the like. "Where in the world did you get these names?" inquired the mother. "Who are these people?" "Oh, I got them out of the 'Arabian Nights,'" said Dorothy. "But you don't need to be afraid. I don't believe more'n half of 'em will come." "Ah, yes, I remember now," said the mother. "I thought 'those names sounded familiar. Go on and invite them." And then she added, meditatively, with a look back into her own youth: "I wish they would come—all of them." —IndianaPoll. News THE INVISIBLE MADE VISIBLE. Here is a way in which you, too, may join the ranks of those who control the magic power over the seen and the unseen. It is, perhaps, a very humble experiment with which to introduce yourself into the wizards' circle. Yet it will demonstrate conclusively that you have the same power (in a sense) as the greatest practitioners of the black art. Procure an empty basin. Set it near the edge of a table. Place a coin in the centre of the bottom. Then ask one of the spectators to first stand alongside the basin and then to walk slowly backward until the coin is hidden from his eyes by the rim of the bowl, and FIG.1 FIG.2 the inside of the bowl looks, as shown in Fig. 1. Now direct the person, to watch the bowl intently. Make him admit that he sees nothing. Then modestly state that you will cause the coin which he knows is in the bottom of the basin, though invisible to him, to become visible without his moving an inch or you touching it. He says it can't be done. You call for a pitcher of clear water; pour it slowly into the basin until it is about half full. When it settles the result will be as shown in Fig. 2. The coin will appear perfectly visible to the eye, of the surprised onlooker, and you will have proved your power to make the invisible become visible—in this case, at least—New York Evening Mall. EATING HIS TABL Freddie despised the multiplication table. It was easy to learn to read and spell, but the multiplication table—he couldn't just remember. One day mother brought him a bag of tiny colored candles. "Now," she said, "there are five candles in a row, and eight rows. How many candies?" "Forty," promptly. "Now make seven times five, and four times five and the rest. When you have made the whole table, learn it. When you have learned it, eat it!" It was a splendid way to learn tables! Freddie forgot that they were tables. He went to work with a will, and when the teacher—that is, mother—said, "School's out!" he had learned his five tables. He didn't eat them till after school. He often shared his tables with the next door twins. One day the next door twins' teacher was making their mother a call. Freddie was making one on the next door twins. "Don't you go to school, little boy?" the teacher asked him. "Oh, yes," politely. "Oh, you do? Well, I suppose you think the multiplication table is perfectly dreadful, too?" "Oh, no!!" eagerly. "I'm fond of mine." "Indeed! How far along are you?" "I've only eaten as far along as seven times seven, yet," said Freddie. Adapted from Youth's Companion. Rattler Showed Light.

Church A very large congregation attended Bethel on Sunday, to hear our pastor the Rev. E. Lowery preach the two sermons mentioned in last week's issue; they evidenced great satisfaction. The sermons were deep and profound, and made a lasting impression.

R. M. S. Taylor the presiding elder; a very large congregation attended the funerals. Bro.

His subject was "Patience" and as usual every person that was present felt that it was good to be in the house of the Lord. At 8 p. m. Rev. Sims preached a very interesting sermon to a large crowd. The prayer of our members is to keep the good work moving along until the last one is wiped out of existence. What the Grand Jury did this week is something greatly needed for it is dragging our poor people down to degradation inoch by inch every day. Away with policy shops, away with them is the sentiment of our church. Right is right and right will prevail even crushed to the ground but it will rise again. Let the pastors of our churches point out the evils that there is in it. To-morrow is Trustees day and it is hoped that our members will rally to them.
