I. q. O. f.

The past week in the ranks of Odd
Fellowship has not been so active as
the previous ones. Local politics and
miserable weather have deferred the
usual attendance. At the same time a
good record has been made in the
lodges as far as work for the good Of
the order is concerned
The official visit of the officers of
the grand encampment to Oquirrh and
Unity encampment on Tuesday even
ing last was the principal event of the
week, and had the effect of calling out
very large percentage of the mem
bers of the Patriarchal Branch of Odd
Fellowship, The grand patriarch was
accompanied by a full representatio ton
of the officers of the @. E. and after
Oquirrh had concluded its regular
business, the patriarchs were highly
entertained by a feast of reason and a
flow of good words from the principal
officers The remarks made by G.. P,
w H. Butcher; G. S., W. J. Moore and
P. G. P, j. J. Thomas, were worthy of
the work of a stenographer and the
printing process.
The election of officers for the ensu-
ing term came to a finale on Saturday
when Naomi Rebekah lodge elected the
following sisters to labor for them dur
ing the next half year:
n. G., Mrs. Joanna Melton.
V. G., Mrs. Jennie Hilton
2. S., Mrs. Jennie A. Farnsworth-
r. s., Mrs. Matilda NJ. Jennens.
Treasurer, Mrs. Lena Roberts.
Trustee, Mrs. Janey Gunner.
The only work of note as far as re-
ported was that of comforting the third
degree upon a member of Enterprise
lodge and the receiving by that lodge
of an application for membership. Jor-
dan lodge No. 3 on Monday last had an
excellent meeting and was full of life
and vim. The other lodges had short
meetings and light attendance.
The general committee on relief of
Odd Fellows during the winter met and
organized and after some discussion
adjourned to Tuesday the 18th instant
The committee on vice grandS an
nounce joint installation of officers for

The fraterna1 orders have had a fair

orders, in some the installations have
taken place and in others they will be
held during the next ten days A good
deal of charitable work is being done
and in many a. home but for this time

Intemperance in Early Days.

In 1908, when Jamestown, N. Y. was
first settled, the Inhabitants hit upon a
novel plan for clearing off the public
common. The plot set apart for that
purpose was covered with trees, which
were gradually cut down by the set
tiers at odd times when not otherwise
engaged. But the stumps still remain
ed, and their removal was a problem
that caused many discussions among
the city fathers. At last they struck a
brilliant idea, whereby their object was
not only attained, but the intemper-
ate members Of the community were
taught salutary lesson. 1t was duly
enacted that the penalty for Fetti7q
drunk was to dig up a large stump,
but if the culprit was only lnodera toly
tipsy he was assigned to a smaller one.
1t was not long before every stump
disappeared, much to the credit of the
originators of the scheme and to the
discontinue of the Chicago
Herald.

Literateur and Illustrator.


Howard Pyle says that literature and
art are sister+the one expressing the
words, the sentiment, the vague i'm
preston; the other giving the hard
and fast outlines, the cold substantial
naturalization of face that in the
verbal expression was but an impress

the art of writing from his stand
point. however. the less 4 man knows
Of literary art, the better stories he

Howells say to such comparison? 1t

two arts.

a Few society Fads.

The proper way to shake hands is
something everybody ought to know.
Hands should not be clasped, but
caught at the second joint. in the way
shown in the accompanying cut, and
two or three decisive little jerks given.
The thumbs of the shakers should be
held up straight, and have practically
nothing to do with the matter. The
old-fashioned method of clasping hands
is very bad form.
Cordially in the street is likewise be-
coming obsolete, and if YOU can man
age TO infuse into your manner of
greeting an air of ennui it is all the
more proper. The lady should always
recognize her men acquaintances first.
In walking together a man no longer of
necessity keeps to the curb, and he
never changes his place in crossing
streets, always keeping the lady at his
right.
1t is very bad form to gesticulate.
Never make a gesture. Never show
any animation in your face. That is
a solecism society will never pardon.
The more you resemble a wooden block
the better form you are It is the
height of good form to look at people
as though you saw something on the
other side of them. Have no hesitancy
about staring, but be sure you culti-
yate the heavy British stare.
Perfumes are becoming quite a fad.
and the costly Oriental perfumes are
the proper ones. The fact that the
odor one frequently notices on the
street when passing a woman suggests
a hot vanilla pudding and was formerly
regarded as vulgar has nothing to do
with the matter now. Strong scents
are the very latest and quite the proper
thing.-N. Y. World.

to every tramp makes them steer clear
of the city,
English authority estimatns that the
loss occasioned by the sixteen weeks
strike of the English coal miners
amounted to $166 100000 OF this. $751;
000,00 fell on the miners and the iron
workers and other artisans directly
affected by the stoppage of coal pro
duction. Sixty-six million came out of
the mine owners, iron masters and
other manufacturers and the railroad
companies. The other $9,000,00O came
from the public in higher prices paid
for coal 1t seems impossible that
there could be any compensation for
such immense losses.
One effect of the strike. and one
showing the growing socialistic tend
encies in England, is the introduction
in parliament by Keir Hardie. one of
the labor representatives, of a bill to
nationalize the mines It provides for
the purchase Of the mines from their
owners by the government and their
While the bill has no chance of pass
ing it is somewhat significant.
While it might be possible for a
strong centralized government like
Germany or Russia to undertake to
operate the mines, and perhaps some
other industries, it would be an utter
failure in country of popular govern
ment like England or the United
STATES. The result here would be to
make such nationalized industries a
huge political machine to be used by
the government to retain power and

good deal easier and safer to regulate
the evils of the present system than
to attempt any scheme of nationaliza-

The Contract for Building It Awarded
TO u Georgia Firm.

The Contract for Building It Awarded
TO u Georgia Firm.
OCALA, FLA, March 1.-THE county
commissioners after o'clock this morning
awarded the contract for building the
Marion county jail to the Manley Manu-
featuring Company of Dalton, Ga, for
S15,S93. When the board met this morning
30 arrange for the issuing OF bonds to meet
this contract, r. L. Anderson appeared
with a petition signed by heavy property
owners, asking them TO reconsider their
action. AS no good and dehni q reasons
were given for such action on the part Of the
bosFd, they declined to aocede to the re-
quest. 1t appears that the party who got
the contract suggested TO the board to
enlarge the building to contain steel cells
two feet, and as there WAS not
extra charge for this extra expense the
board wisely accepted the suggestion. From
this arose a report that the successful bidder
was permitted to change his specifications,
hence the dissatisfaction of the unsuccessful
bidder of the Paulley Construction Com
panY OF Louisville, KY. First the report
grew and flew that the board were enjoined
from carrying out the contract. The CON
tractor will be put under bond for Sl5 900
and no money will be paid
on construction account until experts
selected by the board shall pass on
and accept the work done. Another reason
alleged for restraining the board was that
the same firm whose bid was accepted on
this occasion supplied the old jail with cells
which were to be steel, and RfterwArd,
when all the bills we're paid, turned out to
be iron. This created quite a breeze.
