size she wore, found II impossible
to put Il on. The difficulty was
easily seen. Her stockings were
damp and told her that 1t would be
impossible to fit her foot while she

and provided myself with an extra
pair, at the same time displaying a
small parcel she held in her hand.
II told her she had better put
them on and retired to the back of
the store to give her a chance.
Hearing nothing from her, after a
few minutes had elapsed, l yentured
to glance around and saw that she
was in an awkward predicament.
The fact was she was too fat and too
tightly laced to put ON her own stock

Ina country as vast as ours, both
In territory and population, it livery
difficult to fix and apply a common
policy TO satisfy all or to best serve
the purposes Of all the people. In the
general political and business policy
of this government however, the
east, up to this time, has had matters
all its own way pretty much. This,
in the face Of the fact that the west
aud south have the majority In votes,
is rather matter of wondsrment.
We account for 1t by the fact that the
east has the money, and when, il
comes to n struggle in which their
interests are vitality concerned, they
do not hesitate to use this money to

words, TO buy what they lack. On
any question affecting their business
advantages, such as the tariff or the
silver question, the republican aud
democratic parties of that section, as
rule, have not hcsitated to fuse for
the time being, and together stem the
torrent which for the time threatened
to engulf them. In this way IL

The local lodges of the Knights of
Pythias are making great preparations
for the session of the grand lodge of the
state, which meets in Lincoln Tues
day. There will probably be Il delega-
ton of fifteen or twenty from Omaha in
attendance upon the session, including
the past chancellors and past grand chan
cellors of the four lodges IN this city
Nebraska No 1, Myrtle, Omaha No. 20
and Planet lodges, There is every pros
pect that the meeting will be the largest
and most enthusiastic convention of
Pythian Knights ever held in the state.
Apropos of Nebraska Pythianism, the
following items are taken from the semi
annual reports received Mt the Office of
the grand keeper OF records and seal for
the term ending June 30, 1886: Total
membership in Nebraska July 1. 1885,
1,695; net increase during the year, 4l5.
Of the net increase in membership in
lodges organized prior to July /, 1891 the
two American lodges in Omaha have con
tributed 81 per cent. The largest net in
crease in membership is shown by Myrtle
lodge in Omaha, which has gained 81
members, being an increase of 1872 per
cent. The second place belongs to Ne
braSka lodge No, /, which shows net
gam OF % members, or an increase OF ~
per cent. The four Omaha lodges con

gate membership in the state"
Myrtle Lodge, X, of p held an inter
estnga and enthusiastic meeting on Mon
day night, Chancellor Commander
Crowell in the chair. Two new mem
bers were proposed for the first degree,
while one was ready to be worked in the
second and five in the third, This was
too much for one nights operation and
the second and third degrees were not
worked. This lodge is progressing
greatly and though very young is one of
the liveliest in the state. Myrtle Diyis-
ion No. B. Uniformed Rank, X. of z. is
likewise prospering. 1t now has more
than sixty members including representa-.

On Wednesday evening, Nebraska
lodge held its regular meeting with
full attendance, Chancellor Commander
WilloX being in the chair. The first
degree was conferred upon six candi-
dates. The uniformed rank of the lodge
which has been recently instituted, starts
