How the wheels OF memory rotate
When think of where the goat ate,
And the rooSterS "titn eacn other blind
Long ago,
While the pulling, hauling ganders
Chased the gal that had the .Janders,"
Ana the Old blue sow that loudly whined,
To and fro.
How my sprinting muscles stiffen
When think OF that old griffin.
Jose Caliente's one-eyed bull
Bowing low,
And the fence DER which he shot me-
AS with speed away got me
To the sheep pen where they sheared for wool
Long ago.
Now, as through magic lens.
See those ancient "mainspring' hens eye

1t is evening ana the moon bright
Floods the earth with mellow coon light
And the acorns they are falling in the falI
Long ago.
And they strike with sharp whack loud
When they do not through a crack crowd
A manorial Califoi nian shake-roofed hall
That know.
Now the deep-toned, sh1vered war notes
OF q fleet OF corsair boar shotes
Fast and wide embowei ali the TRANQUIL air.
They would grow
Fat by hlching from their neighbors;
Therefore reward the stray "brers';
With ''Sooboy! you thick-skinned devils
Bang! you dare -

Soon q grapevine does entwine me
AS at ease do reclne free,
Bolting massive punches of the Rose Perm

While the raccoons make the grass fly.
AS they me would stealthy pass by.
When they see myfaithful shotgun barrels too
In that row.
Thus the wheels of memory rotate
When think of where the goat ate
And the roosters "flt" each other blind

And the pulling, hauling ganders
Carried on the war in Flanders
With the old blue SOW that loudly wbined
In her woe.

MuEREa

Where are our loved ones tonight,
Where are our darliugs sweet,
Are they happy, where all is bright
Close to the mercy seat?
Safely within the heavenly fold,
Near 10 the Shepherds feet,
Oh, are we rightly, truly, told
There may the dear ones meet.
Is it, sad heart, so far away,
That beautiful home above,
Realms Of light where at last we may
Again see those we love?
Or in our lives, the misty years
is it for them to know
Unheeding all our griefs and tears,
And that we love them so?
For they are SO silent, all,
Now on the unknown shore
And though for them we moan and call,
Answer US nevermOre
But God is Love. sweet Nature kind,
Soon we shall be at rest.
Sleeping as they, and wake TO find
Little we know at best.

The discussion of the reunion Of
churches under the same ecclesiastical
government has brought about much
pleasant interchange of courtesies be-

ter appreciation CT the spirit and work of
each OF the others,' remarks the ConQye-
gatiOn0hSt of Boston. I'VE doubt if il
has brought any whit nearer the organic

THE case with which the revision of
the Constitution of the National Unita-
ran Conference was effected, compared
with the prolonged struggle in the Pres
byterian Church to revise its standards,
is indicative OF the difference in methods

of Boston. Our Presbyterian brethren
have used their creed as test and safe
guard; it is fence around the church.
There are many breaches in it now. and
people go in and out through the holes in
the fence. But when it comes to substi-
tuting new creed, it is not found to be
an easy task. Unitarians have no use for
creeds in such sense. They build no
stone walls, no barbed wire fences, around
their vineyard. There is no standard of
Unitarian orthodoxy, no courts to trv
heretics. The Saratoga Conference did
not need spend time in burying dead be-
liets. Unitarians believe in the law of
spiritual gravitation, and all that they
needed to do was to put up 'Ho! every
one that thirsteth'-an invitation TO come
and drink OF the'water of life"

A New Feature of Odd Fellowship That
Found Birth In Cincinnnti.

A New Feature OF ODD Fellowship That
Found Birth In Cincinnati.
CINCINNATI, May 1S TO the enter
prising members of the Odd Fellows
fraternity in Cincinnati, belongs the
credit of inaugurating a novel feature
in the order, which is already spread
ing throughout this state, and is des-
tined soon to be recognized factor in
the l. O. o. +. in all parts of the coun-
try.
Some eight months ago the idea
struck number of Queen City MEM
bers of the great order to esta blish
society which should bear somewhat
the same relation to Odd Fellowship
that the Mystic Shrine does to Mason
ry, the object being solely of social
nature.
The scheme met with favor at once,
and in short time twenty charter
members were secured. Plans were
perfected, a name selected and unique
ritual complied.
AS q result, about two weeks ago
1.-THE Imperial Order of Muscovites"
was Incorporated under the laws of the
state of Ohio The local lodges will be
known as Krem1ins, named after one
of the palaces of the czar of Russia.
All the peculiar terms used in the rit-
ual are taken from The Russian, the
chief executive being named after the
car himself, and the subordinate Off
GERS after those of corresponding
rank under his imperial majesty, just
Us the proper names used among the
shriners are taken from the Syrian.
The local Kremilin, which will be
the supreme lodge of the new order.
now numbers eighty members. COM
posed of the cream of Odd Fellowship
in this city.
Already applications for membership
have been pouring in from this and
other states in great numbers.
Thursday night the Cincinnati Krem-
lin initiated representatives from all
the big towns in Ohio who in turn will
establish the new order in their own
communities.
In addition every member of the
grand lodge became a Muscovite on
Thursday night
An especially large class from Column
bus trod the "steppes" and were
knighted by the czar.
The qualification for membership
consists solely in the social standing o.
the applicant. His position in the 1. O
o. +. is not considered.
Practically the only connection
which the Muscovites bear to Ode
Fellowship is that mem mbership in the
former is confined strictly to member:
; of the greater fraternity.

NO HOPE FOR JESUITS.
Numerous Petitions, Which Are

All Over the Country, Show Great Prejudice
Against the Order of Jesuits-Chanrel-

Double Dealing in tho Matter.

BERLIN. May 21.-The federal council
has not vet acted upon the bill to re-
peal the anti-Jesuit law, although the
rcichstag sent up the measure weeks
ago. This delay has caused anxiety
among Protestants. Several weeks
ago the king of Wurtemburg told a
deputation that he thought the federal
council would not consent to the pro
posed repeal
In the last week the regent of Ba-
varia and the duke of Saxe-Coburg
Gotha have allowed similar opinions,
which they expressed to representa-
tives of Protestant synods, to become
public. On Thursday two delegates
from the Prussian church had an inter-
view on the subject with Chancellor
Won Caprivi. They obtained from him
the assurance that he would never as
sent to the return of the Jesuit order.
AS the principal federal states are de-
termined to veto the reichstag's propos-

smaller states are preparing bills for
bidding the Jesuits to reappear within
their borders, the exclusion of the or

Numerous petitions. which are gath
ering signatures all over the country,
show great popular prejudice against
the Order of Jesus. The prejudice is
legacy of the Kplturkamp. which gives
no sign of disappearing with time.
The Germania, chief clerical organ of
North Germany, voices the resentment
of the Catholics in vigorous denuncia-
tion of the king of Wurtemberg. who is
accused of interfering in the welfare OF
the federal council.
Chancellor Won Caprivi. moreover. is
charged with double dealing. The
Germania says that he deceived the
group of clericals, who helped him in
the Reichstag, because they had been
led to believe that he would not oppose
the repeal bill. The charge is unjust,
however, for the chancellor simply
held his peace and avoided any signiti-
cant act, merely letting the clericals
nurse the hope that he was more friend
ly to them because he had ceased to re-
buff them.
With his declaration on Thursday, he
abandoned this policy of Lying to" as
well as his old nonposumus. The cler-
icals will reckon with him as soon as
the reichstag reassemblcs.
