Chicago Congressman Who Was

Kate Fields Washington.
Representative McGann of Chicago, when
he was running for Congress, received tie
impression that some of lis agricultural
constituents were dissatisfied, so he laid
himself out to win them heart ard soul. He
concluded the best way was to show a per-
sonal interest in all their affairs, and par
tieularly in their struggles. About the time
he arrived at this determination he was rid
ing on {. country road, when he met farmer
leading cow. "GOod-day," said McGann,
where are you taking your cow, Mr.. l? ,"
Going to town to sell her" said the
farmer.
Here was McGann's chance:to make him
self square, so he said How much do you
want tor her?" The farmer promptly said
40 and MeGann as quickly replied. "Pil
take her."
Now the farmer had wanted mora than
$40. but he had said that because he never
thought of McGann's buying her He looked
disappointed. Then he said, Now, Mr.
McGanp, l wouldn't want to cheat YOU

OF Madeira wine was caused by a tiny insect

inflated every vineyard on the island. Nothing
could be found to stay Its ravages until the
vines OF two American grapes were intro
duced upon the island-the Catawba and
the Isabella. These were used as stock upon
which to graft the native vines, it having
been found that the former were entirely re-

4 GREAT MASONIC LIBRARY.
The Largest Collection Of Works Relating
TO Masonry.
What Has Been Accomplished in Iowa BIZ
the Energy Of Grand Secretary
ParYin.

The largest Masonic library In the world,
the only Masonic library building on the
face of the globe, a grand secretary whose
services has exceeded that of any other in
the history of the fraternity in America
such Is the remarkable combination of the
exceptional TO be found at Cedar Rapids,
Iowa, and the trinity is full of interest even
to the laymen, says correspondent of the
ST. Louis Globe Democrat.
1t Is impossible to write of the library of
the Grand Lodge OF Iowa, an Institution
renowned throughout the Masonic world,
without dwelling upon the career of the
man who created it. a career which is seldom
rivaled for length of service, for ripe scholar

ness of its achievement. Hon. Theodore S.

and at a banquet to Governor Lucas of
Iowa, then recently appointed to the Wild
territory beyond the Mississippi. he was i n
vited to act as the latter's secretary. Ac-
cepting the appointment he located at Burl-
ingtOn. and in 1910 organized the first lodge
In Iowa under dspensation from the Mis-
souri, Grand Lodge. Mr.. Paryin has been
identified with the beginnings and the
growth OF all the Masonic bodies of Iowa,
and has held so many offices that only the
more important of these can be mentioned
in az article of this kind
When the Grand Lodge of Iowa was or
gained in 1914 he was chosen It's grand sec
etary. and he Is now In his foriy-ninth
year Of service. To be exact, he was grand
master one year, in 1852, but on account of
the physical incapacily of the secretary he
also performed most of the duties of that
Office, making his service practically con-
tinuOus for nearly half a century.
ParYin's hobby, as the Iowa library is
called in fraternal circles in laughing allu-
sion to his earnestDess in its behalf, was
started IN 1915 with an appropriation of So
The first book in the collection was Coles
"Fhiman Ron" He picked up the vol
ume from lady's center table while making
a call, and MS attention was so much dis
tracted by chances at the book that the lady
suggested be take it and go. That volume
is still in the library.
Very small appropriations were made by
the Grand Lodge. but in 1882 the library
was estimated to be worth $4,000. though
1t had cost the lodge barely one-eighth of
that sum. In that year the collection of
Masonic works made by II. F. Bower of
Keokuk, Iowa, the largest private library
OF the kind IN the world. was purchased for
$4,000. Il had cost its collector three times
that sum. This made a building imperative
and the Grand Lodge set aside $50, 900 for q
freprOof structure Cedar Rapids secured
the location by donating valuable lot and
$4,000 in cash. This unexpected money
donation permitted the construction OF g
building of brick. stone and iron, costing
$50. coo. and it is handsome structure of
which the city and the State, as well as the
fraternity, are proud.
The front of the building is square

OATMEAL WATER.
Better and More. Cooling Beverage
Than Beer.

Det'ef ana More. Cooling Beverage
Than Beer.
New York Commercial Advertiser
With the advent of the hot summer davs
the old discussion as to the best drink for
sustaining the energies of laborers under
prolonged effort in the open air has been
revived. Farmers and other employers have
for long time pinned their faith to beer as
beverage for their workmen. but oatmeal
has for tie last few years bren rapidly
growing in favor, and apparently with just
cause.
A strong support to the advocates of oat-
meal has been given by recent experience
on the occasion OF the conversion of the broad
gauge which has been retained so doggedly
Dy the Great Western Railway Company in
England TO the narrow gauge now aCopted
universally in that country. The conversion
had 10 be effected with the utmost dispatch.
ana the length OF line to be transformed
was over 200 miles. Five thousand men
were employed, who worked two supres
sive days OF II hours each, with only short
intervals for meals. Throughout this ex-
ceDtlonai strain nothing but oatmeal water
was lmbbed by The laborers, and its re-
1reshing, thlrSt-quenchlng and sustaining
power was unreservedly admitted
Another valuable piece of testimony To
the merit OF this modern rival of beer is the
TACT that many cricket clubs have adopted
oatmeal water as the regulation tipple of
their active members while a match is being
played. IL is found that men play better
cricket and an Infinitely steadier game than
when beer was thought to be the only thing
that crieketer ought to drink, with the
advantage OF no undesirable reaction. TIE
method OF manufacture is simple Put a
liberal lamp of ice into a pail with a few
handfuls of oatmeal, fill up with water, add
the juice of lemon and little sugar, only
just enough TO give interest to the decoction.
ana the result is drink that any man will
be grateful for on a sWelteriug dogday.

floor gives this story the appearance of a
gallery. Every shelf ana drawer is closely
packed with tones, which number about
$4,000, and there are enough unbound
pamphlets and periodicals in the attic to
make several thousand more.
The great majority of these books are
Masonic works, but there are hundreds on
allied subjects. it being the purpose of the
librarian TO collect everything bearing ON
masonry. Here. for example. are books on
the Egyptian mysteries, to which the
learned bookworm traces many Masonic

the librarian can point out where some OF

there were two Masonic lodges at Nauvoo,

"The largest and most complete eollec-

Major Slaymaker of Lancaster, Pa

possession of those families some 60 years

Besides the wine of 1898. the vintages of
1900, 1908, 1912, 1918. 1927 and 1910 are

apparent when 1t is known that the

wine is made does not date
back further than 1916. Some OF the vintage
