Heed not the man, who informs
you that this that and the other thing
is wrong,in every movement to secure
a footing for progress and the estab-
ishment of industrial features. Such
men are chronic croakers, and are al
ways sure to oil the way to their OBJ
jections, by the assertion that they
are in favor of such projects, they
want to see them win, they want to
build the town up, it is shame some
thing isn't done, but, but, but you
know, it can't succeed, because, &c.
The fact is, they dare not fight such
matters openly, therefore they assas-
sinate enterprise by faying its friend
Heed not another class of individu-
ais, viz: those who decline to help,
talk friendly and stand by with open
pockets, congratulating themselves
that if the workers and subscribers
succeed, the success will be of as
much benefit to that open pocket as
it will be to those who put their saw
iRgs into the scheme. Heed them
not, for if all do that, where will be
the thrifty corpus for the leeches to
live and fatten on? Every man who
writes down his individuality in the
push and struggle for success, with a
big 81" and backs it with his means
and his energy and industry. is fac
tor that counts one every time. But
the others-nothing added to nothing
cannot count anything. GO to work
now, count yourself one, make your
self felt and known, as one and count
yourself something. A man had bet
ter fail in trying to do something,
than never to have tried at all.

EDUCATIONAL FORCES.

This is the subject OF a series of sym
posia arranged to be held in Council hall
ON alternate Sunday evenings. The idea is
TO give opportunity for the expression of
carefully thought out opinions on the diff
ferent phases of the subject in hand, not
for purposes of intellectual concert or con
quest, but for the sake of better coming
at the Truth-the truth which maketh free
and strong and wise. There is no subject
Of more widely recognized Importance
than that of education The interest in
wise educational methods and purposes
knows no partiZan or seotarian lines.
We are in the dawn of a new era of civil
izatiOn. Never before were people 50 inter
ested in the future of mankind on earth
Hence all the forces which mold and give
texture to character are being examined as
never before. The ancient Greek sage
wrote an immortal sentence when he in
scribed upon the Delphian temple, "Know
thyself" Thoughtful generations have said
amen to Pope's statement of same thought
where he says, 1.-The proper study of man
kind is man The ayes witness to the
truth of the words spoken by Jesus when
he declared the soul to be of more worth
Shan all the treasures of earth beside. The
published program Of the meetings takes
for its motto modern expression of the
Thought Of mans development and worth
Is phrased by Robert Browning. THE
development of soul, little else is worth
study"
The subjects included under the general
title are the use of Sunday, the worth of
the ideal. the law and the constitution,
our public school, our debt to genius,
the ballot box, the novel and the news
paper heredity and environment. The
second meeting occurs Sunday evening,
April 6. The topic, Worth of the Ideal, -
will be treated by Mr.. \. NJ. Sturdevant,
while Judge w. p. Campbell will give an
address on "The Ideal Commonwealth. "
Messers !. p. Parkhurst, George w.
Ceilings and J. J. Jewett will give brief
expressions of opinion.
Colonel Rogers has promised to be pres
ent to add his contribution of music and
song to the interest OF the evening.

SOCIAL ETIQUETTE.

Visiting Cards and the Correct Arrange
ment of the Name.
In visiting cards changes in size, shape and
thickness are comparatively slight and Of in
frequent occurrence. A lady's card should
be Of moderate dimensions, abont S9< by Pa
inches. Large or very small sizes are not in
good taste. The pasteboard should be OF
good quality and only moderate thickness,
and Of a pure white or delicate cream tint;
no color is admissible, and q gilt edge is the
height of vulgarity. The most elegant card
is, OF course, engraved: written ones come
next, while those which are printed must be
classed with the gilt edge.
Even where the question Of expense is to be
considered, al engraved plate Is better than
printing, for allowing the greater original
cost, the cards will always be uniform in
quality and the plate viii last as long as
needed. OF late years these plates are 20 be

Wonderful Growth of the Order in Iowa.

Wonderful Growth of the Order in Iowa.
Other Notes.
The wondrous growth Of the order in Iowa
is shown in the fact that in 1915 there was a
membership of 500 and in 1889 membership
of nearly II 900. In 1875 the grand lodge
was i'll debt some $500, and in 1889 the grand
lodge was out of debt and $4,000 in the treas
ury.
In 1915 the supreme lodge Of knights Of
the World had 500 in its treasury, and in
1889 it had about 5000. This shows the
marvellous growth and amazing prosperity Of
the Pythian organization with mathematical
precision.

Order in Many Places.
According to GaIlignani's Messenger at
recent meeting of the Dover England lodge
CT Freemasons a presentation of two engrav-
ings was made to the lodge by the mayor of
Dover. One Of the prints was portrait Of
the Hon. Mrs. Aldworth, Of Newmarket,
County Cork, the only female Freemason
ever initiated. Sine was the youngest child
and only daughter Of the Right Honorable
Arthur st. Leger, created first Viscount
Doneraile, June %, 1703. The origin Of the
lady's initiation seems to have been that, hav
ing secreted herself in a way to observe the
proceedings of a lodge, she became SO agi-
tated as to reveal her presence. After long
consultation by the brethren it was decided
that Mrs Aldworth should herself be initiated
into the mysteries Of Freemasonry.
