initiate was Brother William Black, who was home at that time on furlough from the army. From the time of it's first con- vocation until the Grand Lodge in May, 1865, the lodge held 26 conversations and initiated, passed and raised 20 members.
 At it's convocation of May ?, 1865, by dis pensation of G. M. Bostwick, the lodge buried it's first deceased member, Brother John Goodyear, a member of the old lodge, D years old and who in former days had held various offices from the Tyler without the door, to that of the ". M. At the May session of the M. w. Grand Lodge the dispensation was con- firmed by the restoration of the charter, if the same could be found, if not a dup ! lcate to be issued bearing the same name and number and for the usual fees of res- | torat on, and the speaker well recollects
 the search for almost an entire evening
 with Grand Secretary Hurd among the archives of the Grand Lodge for the mis.
 sing document and also for the earlyTec- ords of the lodge. The charter not being found the lodge soon received duplicate charter. On further search for the jew els and records, we found that many years before gentleman then living in | Washington expressed desire to be

 which contained the charter, jewels and

Hoods Sarsaparilla is peculiar to it. self, in a strictly medicinal sense, in three important particulars, viz: first, in the combination of remedial agents used; second, in the proportion in which they are mixed; third. in the process by which the active curstive properties are secured. These three important points make Hoods Sarsaparilla peculiar in its medicinal merit, as it accomplishes cures hitherto unknown.
 But it is not what we say but what Hoods Sarsaparilla does, that tells the story. What Hoods Sarsaparilla has done for others is reason for confidence that it is the medicine for you.

 on this occasion was Sturges Morehouse Judd of Waterbury, who was born Feb- ruary 6, 1909, and is now S5 years of age.

He is descendant of Will liam Judd, who was master of the grand lodge of the state of Connecticut in l797. He was the oldest Mason of any assem- bled ' To the committee of arrangements should be given much praise for the thorough manner in which they per formed their duties.

INVALUABLE INVENTION
BY Edwin L. Cooling of this City-A Big
Corporation With Patents Everywhere.

The Holdfast Sole Stay company as
formed in this city fortnight ago, as the
result of an important invention by MI.
Edwin L.. Goding,.of Shaw, Cooling Co.
The "sole stay is simply piece of special
ly woven cotton cloth to be applied to all
turned shoes; that is, that kind of foot
wear, such as slippers, tennis shoes, and
other light shoes, which have only an outer
SOLE to which the uppers are sewed. When
for any reason these become ripped or cut
or burst open, the foot rapidly forces a larg
er break and, unless repair is Immediately
made, the shoe is much damaged.
The sole-stay is an improved method OF
bottoming this kind of shoes. This stay-cloth
is an inner sole, from the toe to the ball of
the foot, and to it the uppers are fastened,
as well as to the outer sole. 1t prevents any
rip or tear from widening while the shoe
is used and the repair can be made much
more easily than before.
This seems a very simple matter, butssit
was never thought of before, and its impor-
lance is attested by the following facts. 1t
is endorsed by the three largest turned"
sohe sewing machine companies ssin the
country, which operate through lessees,
nearly 500 machines, capable of turning out
from 300 to 600 pairs each per day. Patents
have been applied for in England, France
and Germany. patent has salreadya been
received from Canada and another has been
granted at Washington.
A machine has been built to sew this SOLE
stay to the uppers and the first one is now
in Portland turning out several hundred.
pairs day. Mr.. Cooling has associated with
himself in the company, some of the lead
ing shoe manufacturers in this state and
Massachusetts,.
The officers of the company are as follows:
President, Henry P..Cox; treasurer, Ed
win L. Cooling; directors, A. H. Berry, II.
H. Shaw, Charles F. Libby, W. W. Spauld-
ing of Hav erhill, and Charles F. Porter of
Lynn.
The capital stock is $500, 600.

time enable all to obtain any of the seri e

them all. In using this coupon by mail it

Probably the trip to Niagara Falls which
thousands took last summer on their way
to the Worlds Fair was regarded much
of a treat almost by many as the visit to the
fair ITSELF Many saw it for the first time
and many who then visited it will never
have a chance to see it again. Those who
enjoyed Inc rare treat OF V1SlG Lnere Will
appreciate the fine views of the Falls and
vicinity that have been given in America
Photographed. In No. l were given two
views, one of the Falls itself and another
of the winter foliage at Luna Island. In
No. a fine view of the wild rapids above
the Falls was given and in No. 8 the Falls in
winter. These views all strike one who has
been there as being correct representa-
lions and are taken from positions which
show the Falls at their best. These Falls
are one of Americas greatest wonders and
it is gratifying to see them SO well illustrat-
ed in this series.
Those who love faithful dog will appre-
ciate the reproduction of the paintings
Sympathy in No. 9 of Famous Painting
of the World. A little family 'mothered'
by a little girl who has fallen all too early
under heavy responsibility have stopped
midway in their weary journey, utterly ex-
hausted by fatigue. The devoted dog keeps
watch over them, smuggling up close and
laying his head sympathetically on the
child, his eyes fixed intently on the face
of the girl holding it, that he may welcome
the first sign of returning consciousness
and give assurance that SO long as he is
with them they are not without friends.

A Sacred Drama Written by Maine
Clergyman.


The Bangor Wing has an appreciative no.
tice of a sacred drama written by Rev. Nor
man La Marsh, entitled Lux Christi. The
drama is divided into five sections, each
section having its own prose introduction,
thus enabling the reader to follow the
trend of the whole with ease. Americas,
a gentleman of leisure, occupying suite
of rooms at the Arlington, is in state of
religious unrest (which not even the gale
ty of Washington society can counteract.
Two members of the diplomatic corps,
Menes the Egyptian, and Thesius the
Greek, argue in favor of their respective
faiths; while Americas contends for the
divinity of Christ. Americas goes abroad;
and while in Palestine makes Nazareth
his headquarters. He has dream while
in Nazareth in which the face of Christ is
beheld with peculiar vividness, dream
which completely transforms his spirit ual
unrest. After returning home the old con-
troversy is renewed sand each of the three
friends endeavors to support his theory
with the most astute logic. The Greek
eventually yield to the responsiveness of
Americas, and in response to his self-sur-
render, the Light of Life-the LUX Christi
becomes his own. The conversion of Thesi-
us is exceptionally impressive, land furnishes
one of the finest parts for careful study.
Menes, on the othershand, solidly refuses
to yield to the double pressure brought to
bear upon him, and abruptly quits the pre-
sence of his friends, a Moslem still.
