Bound BY the Charter.

Judge Arnold yesterday decided q
question of interest to the members
Of the Order OF the Knights OF Biz,
minghan, Joseph NJ. Namely assigned
his death benefit OF $1,000 to his sis
ter as security for loan. The char.
ter OF the order provides that it's pur-
pose shall be the "beneftting and aid
Ing OF the widows and orphans of de-
ceased members" but the assignment
was made under authority OF clause
in the constitution. After Mr.. Ma
neely's death his widow claimed that
under the charter she was the only
person to whom the money could be
paid. Suit was then brought by the
sister against the order, and in de-
Gliding for the defendant Judge Arnold
said:
This is q hard case for the plaintiff.
She has bought and paid for thing to
which her vender could not give her a
good title. There is direct conflict
between the charter and the constitu-
ton. In such a case the charter must
prevail, and under it the widow and
orphan are entitled to the benefits as
against an assignee of the deceased
member. An amendment OF the char
ter must be made if the members wish
to have the power to assign or pledge
their benefits for money to keep them
in sickness, as Joseph NJ. Namely did"

The Dog Saved Him.

Among the striking things that hap
pen every day in a big city, the actions
of intelligent dogs bear no inconsider-
able part. BY Invaluable services,
such as the Cincinnati Enquirer de,
scribes in the incident below, they con-
tinue to justify the reputation of their
kind as ''the friend OF man."
The four-year-old child of John B.
Bacigalupo was trying to cross the
street-rall, Dad track on the south side
of the market-house, when, frightened
by the near approach of a car, the
little fellow in turning tell directly
across the track.
The horses passed over the boy with
out iniuring him, and before any IN
jury could be done, g. dog, sitting with
his master at the corner of the mar
ket-house, rushed to the child and
pulled it from the track by it's clothes
just as the wheels were about to
crush it.
Every one was astonished at the act
of the dog, which was remarkably wise
and intelligent.
The rescue of the child was observed
by q large number of people. The
brave dog is four years old. He has
become quite hero.
A Frenchman has been engaged in ship
ping arms to County Kerry, Ireland, wher,
he sold them to moonlighters. A London
firm suspected the business he was carry
ing on and informed tho police, who seizeG
soma arms which the Frenchman had or
| dered be shipped to Ireland.

The Calendar Craze in Boston.

The calendar craze is the latest. It
has been gradually developing of late
years, stimulated by the literary cal
endars which every prominent publish
ing concern thinks it must get out at
the approach OF the holidays. A man
in Boston, where the fever RACES most
severely, has grown tired OF the cal
endar business, and announces revolt
after this fashion:
1nean to abolish the nuisance in my
house. 1t has become unbearable.
My wife is fairly sensible about her
Emerson calendar. She takes her bit
OF literature somewhat less personally
than my daughters do; but refused to
60 into Boston one morning to do
some shopping which she had declared
absolutely necessary the night before,
because her calendar said something
about the unforeseen and the accident
al. My girls gauge their gowns and,
their reading and even their love affairs
by Mrs. Whitney and Browning; and:
I'm bored to death with their repeat
ing of disjointed scraps which are sup
posed to have some miraculous bear
ing upon TIE TIE events of their lives, day
by day. Calendars are popular, not
because they teach people anything,
but because they cater to childish.
and ridiculous loveof peering into the
unknown relations of life. It is bar.
barous to debase literature to such
purposes. How can it be possible for
Lowell and Tennyson to know whether
beef or lamb is the most suitable din
ner for your wife or mine to order on,
the 22d of October? What right has
young woman to decide to reject or.
accept man because Mrs. Browning's
calendar tears off sweet or stern on,
the morning of the day she is to give
her answer? The oldfashioned way of
peeping into the bible for a. guiding
verse was good deal more sensible.

& LincOIn's Love For Books.

l gs
After q few months Of dssuItory in.
struction, young Abraham knew all
that these vagrant liter att could teach
him, says writer in the Century for
November. His last schooldays were
passed with one Swaney in 1926, who
taught at a distance Of 1-2 miles from
the Lincoln cgbin. The nine miles of
walking doubtless seemed to Thomas
Lincoln a waste of time, and the lad
was put at steady work and saw no
more OF school.
But it ,is uuestfo nable whether be
lost anything by being deprived of the
ministrations of the backwoods dom
inies. When his tasks ended his stu
dies became the CHI lief pleasure OF his
life. In all the intervals of his work.
IN which he never took delight, know
ing we'll enough that he was born for
something better than that-he read,
wrote and ciphered incessantly. His
reading was naturally limited by his
opportunities, for books were among
the rarest Of Injuries in that region
and time But he read everything he
could lay his hands upon, and he was
certainly fortunate in the few books OF
which he became the possessor. 1t
would hardly be possible to select g,
better handful Iof classics for O. youth
in his circumstances than the few VOL
umes he turned with nightly and,
daily hand the Bible, "Hsop's Fa-
bles, Robinson Crusoe," "the Pill.
grim's Progress" Il "History of the
United States" and Weems' "T.ife Of
Washington" These were the best,
and these he read over and over till he
knew them almost by heart. But his
voracity for anything printed was in
satiable. He would sit in the twilight
and read a dictionary as long as he
could see. He used to 60 to David
Turnham's the town constable, and
devour the Revised Statutes of In
diana, as boys in our day do. the
'Three Guardsmen." OF the books he
did not OWE he took voluminous
notes, filling his copy book with choice
extracts, and porting over them until
they were fixed in his memory. He
could not afford to waste paper upon
his own original compositions. He
would sit by the fire at night and cover
the wooden shovel with essays and

ing to think of this great-spirited child,
battling year after year against his
evil star, wasting his ingenuity upon
devices and makeshifts, his high intelli-
gence starving for want of the sim
pie appliances of education which are
now offered gratis to the poorest and
most Indifferent. He did mans work
from the time heleft school;hi strength
and stature were already far beyond
those of ordinary men. He wrought
his appointed tasks ungrudgingly,
though without enthusiasm; but when
his employers day was over, his own
began.
John Hanks: "When Abe and re-
turned to the house from work, he
would 20 to the cupboard, snatch
piece Of corn bread, take down book,
sit down, cock his legs up as high as
his head and read" The picture may
be lacking in grace, butts truthfulness
is beyond question. The habit re-
manned with him always. Some OF
his greatest work in later years was
done in this grotesque western fash
ion-"sitting on his shoulder blades.

Wanted q Long Bedstead..

All We know of the size and stature.
of Og. King Of Bashan, is the fact that
his bedstead was thirteen and q half
feet long and six feet wide; but histor~
ic critics have intimated that in his
time, warlike chiefs had the vanity to
make their bedsteads much larger
thar was necessary-on purpose to,
give terrible impression of their size,
in case their camp furniture should
fall into an enemy's hands. The stat
ure of our tallest American chief,
however for Scott was taller than
Lincoln), was never belied by his.
bedstead. That article of furniture
was more likely to be too short than
too long.
Every one has noticed the heroic
size attributed to Gen. Winfield Scott
in his statues and portraits. Few Of
them are exaeeerations Of his real
proportions. He was six feet four
and half inches high, and perfectly
formed. In his full-dress uniform ho
presented a superb appearance. It is
were awe-struck when they saw him,
and many Of them attributed the sue
cess OF the American army to the
grand physique OF it's leader.
The general was greatly inconven-
fenced by his unusual size, and when
ever he had an opportunity, always
had special preparations made for his
comfort. In an old album in Wash.

his hand: &

Exercises Of Articulation.

At the close of session at g. Vir-

called for such examples in difficult
articulation to be handed in as the
pupils could find or remember. OF
course the result embodied all the old
familiar verbal tangles, but some were
brought out which were not so famil-

comical budget Of phrases:

that Sniggs was an awfully high-strung
