More than this, he has declined the personal

To meet the requirements of travel, the
management Of the great Louisville route
to New York, by way of the Pan Handle
and Pennsylvania Central railways, have
arranged matters SO nicely that the jaunt is
now one of great pleasure, and the facilities
presented can not be surpassed, as the road
way and the rolling stock are the most per-
feet in America, and as consequence the
comfort of the traveller is assured and full
safety guaranteed-the route being double
tracked and stone ballasted. The scenery
along this route is grand-elegant agricul-

PLANTATION. The humor of the verse il
founded upon the fact that many Sil
Knights are VIGOROUSLY more prompt in
attending meetings where social features
are introduced, particularly at the confer
ring of "Red- Cross" degrees, than they ar
in gathering where hard work is expected
These circumstances sometimes subject the
delinquents to much good humored raillery
and he who has offended enjoys the jokes
as much as any. The form is an old one.
and is not intended for him who reads il
now for the first time:
Twas Red eros night.
The gas saOne bright
In corridor and hall
The knights had gathered,
Regaliad and feathered.
At the sovereign masters CALI
The work was done.
And every orc
Loosed belt and baldric gay
As the master arose,
And prepared to close
In the usual Masonic way
"Let all strangers here
Partake OF our cheer"
Was the regular brOtherly greeting
That invited each guest
To do his best
In the way of drinsin& and eating.
As the knights fell in,
stranger thin
Stalked sOlemnly out OF the West.
He was six feet high,
With hungry eye,
And in deepest black was dressed
Then up the stairs
They went in pairs.
Withiaughter and with Jest.
The strange unknown,
Strobe up alone,
Apart from all the rest.
A. the Chaplain's grace,
The strangers face,
A stern expression wore;
The man on his right
A new made knight,
Said that he quietly swOre.
Such an appetite
By Temptar Knight
Had never been known in the halE
Salads and meats.
| Cakes and sweets
He gobbed them, dishes and all
| The walters scared.
| Ono and all declared
They never could feed suoh swine.
He took without winking
Six quarts at q drinking,
Then called for . basket OF wine, .
And the Knights fell back
| When this man in black,
With appetite Unsuitable,
After having tossed OF
| The napkins and CLOTH
| Took quite large bite from the table.
| Then the master arose,
| And blowing his nose,
To show that he was not afraid,
! Cried, Give us your name.
And from whence You Ame.
To make ON our feast such q raid"
II am the ghost of him.
| Said the stranger thin,
| "Wno only attended . meeting
When the tables were laid,
| And arrangements made
| For q time at drinking and eating.
| II always would shirk
l Assessments and work,
l But was sure to come in for the feed.
| Twas q fraud Q cheat.
And Masonic beat.
Til death put q stop to my greed"
1t struck midnight,
And quickly from sight
He was gone, and no one could md him.
He slipped for his chair,
And vanished III air.
With an odor of birthstone behind him.
But to this very day.
The Templars all say,
| The Masonic beat is still preying,
Drinking and eating
At each Red-Cross meeting,
| But never BY any chance paying.
