Masonic Notes.

Editor Of the Clmion-Lcdger:
The large number OF your readers
who are members Of the Masonic fra
terniiy, have been much pleased with
the portraits aud biographical sketch
cs ofGrond Masters Evans and Paxton
and also with the beautiful poem by
Grand Secretary Power. Among the
many laurels won by the pen Of the
latter. none win be more enduring
than this. Il has been complimented
by reproduction in the CmcKAsAw
MEssENerR and other papers of the
State.
II the expense would not be too
great the members Of the craft would
like to see portraits and sketches Of
all Grand Masters since 1918.
Notwithstanding the comparative
youth of Past Grand Master Evans
his official life was fun Of brilliant
achievements, and his labors did much
TO place the Masonic order on rising
ground in this grand Jurisdiction. I
have sincere admiration for him, and
would dctract nothing from his Ma
sonic fame, but / have reason TO know
that you are mistaken when you say,
"lle is perhaps the your gest man who
has ever been called to the office Of
Grand Master OF Masons in Missis-
sippi" Prairie Lodge No. 81 enjoys
the distinction Of having furnished
the Grand East the Youngest presiding
officer, in the person Of Brother Frank
Burkitt. who was born July 8. 1913,
and was elected Grand Master Of Ma
sons, January Is, 1879. Since then
he has attended every annual commu-
nication of the Grand Lodge, save one,
giving bis time with unremitting zeal
TO important committee work. and
has lost none Of his prestige in the
Grand Lodge, for an which the nom
Der Of Prairie Lodge No. 81 entertain
a pardonable pride. Yours,

a jury engaged in the trial of a man
for murder at New Orleans last week
were locked mp for the night, being
unable to come to a verdict They
passed the midnight hours over a
quart of 'roary' and a hand at poker.
Such conduct is certainly censmable,
to say the least of it; aud the Judge
did well in granting a new trial TO the
accused, for a body of men holding
the life of a fellow creature in their
hands ought to b. otherwise engaged
than in whisky drinking and poker
playing.

NEW YORK FASHIONS.
Suggestions Concerning tho --latest styles
and Novelties in Dress

and Novelties in Dress.
The newest stationery is called
"Brouillard note" and is a blue-gray
In tint. with monogram or other device
stamped in crcam-whito or pearl.
Tho new cuffs styled "Cromwellian"
are very becoming to slender-armed
women. They are fashioned after the
manner effected by the Puritaus. Any
books containing illustrations of the
Lord Protector and his followers will
convey an idea OF the model. Not only
are these cuffs seen on full length
sleeves, but on dressy tea-gowns cor
responding style is adopted for sleeves
which terminate Mt the elbow.
The exquisitely sheer muslin cravat,
lace edged, which was also feature of
masculine dress after the Restoration,
isulso worn. The ends, however, are
not elongated as they were at that
period, but are hardly longer than the
bows. Both bows and ends are quar-
Ter of yard wide. Tinted crepe is
used very often instead of clear white
in the making of these cravats, which
are worn under the chin with the .direc-
toire style of dress.
On some of the very elegant carriage
wraps OF Lyons velvet, ony the back
breadths are continuous, the fronts be-
ing in JACKET shape over glove-iltting
vests of seal or dark beaver fur. The
coat-tails mt the back ure lined with
plush. and there are narrow fur bands
on collar and cuffs. The side breadths
of the dress skirt and its front are so
fiat and smooth that the slender effect
of II long coat is given.
Some OF the new luxurious "alt"
dresses made in emulation OF the rich
flowing costumes worn by East Indian
.princesses, are OF the soft Thibet woods
and Bengaline silks, with narrow
plated fronts OF crepe do Chine, which
open and close in shimmering unduia-
tions with every movement OF the
wcarer. AT the foot is bordering of
silk, gold and silver, in rare Indian
devices A gown OF cream-white
'Thibet, with n loose blouse waist, and
flowing front OF pale gold China silk,
bordered with embroidery in Persian
colors, is charming; and so, also, is an
other of silver crepe dc Chine, with a
long flowing redingote front and angel
sleeves. A Lalla Rookh vest, draped
from each shoulder under this gown,
crosses over the chest, with n scarf gir-
die Of wrinkled white crepe ilecked with
| silver.
The PATTI jacket is stylish and
graceful garment, which importers say
is now very popular in Paris and Lon
don. Ii is cut in simple coat fashion
and made variously OF fur, Krinner,
and heavy brocade, and also OF plain
dnrk-gre velvet or black velvet open
ing over waistcoat of white corded
silk when Of black, and of deep pink
yellow ottoman when Of green. silk
soutachc, extra wide, and matching the
jacket in color, nearly covers the entire
surface of the silken vest. The sleeves
are the clOse-coat shape, and there is a
very high collar and very dcop wrist
trimming OF sable ur-N. y. Post.

The behavior Of troops in battle de-
pends on the character OF the soldiers
and their understanding their position.
II II soldier is wounded, his behavior
depends on the manner-in which he is
wounded and whether he is Of a quiet
or OF an excitable temper. Flesh
wounds received In action are in many
cases not felt at all, until the blood
comes and the man gets exhausted.
When bone is struck, the shock is
very great and accompanied by acute
pain. have seen poor fellows struck
in tho breast by Mimic balls remaining
in action for minutes, then sinking on
their knees or falling on their faces
Not all such severe wounds are mortal.

through both temples and he lived for
years afterward; soldier who was shot
through the left lung lived for whole
year; General Shields was shot through
his breast In Mexico and reached an
