HIRAM CHAPTER, U. D.
Instituted at Davis Last Nlaht--The
Occasion Brilliant One for
the brotherhood.

The officers Of Ardmore Chapter
No. IL, who went to Davis yesterday
to institute a chapter at that place
were met at the depot there by a
committee, and were royalty enter
tanned.
Their program being very lengthy
one, required prompt action on their
part as their stay there was limited.
Three candidates had the degrees
conferred upon them, and the WORT
of installing the new officers was
proceeded with.
The birth Of a new chapter added
to the growing list of lodges in the
Indian Territory and Oklahoma was
announced and at once christened
Hiram Chapter, L. d.
At the close Of the ceremonies the
members repaired to the parlors OF
George Frasher's cafe, where an ele-
giant banquet was spread, to which
the young and the old, the old and
the new of the order alike did JUS
tice.
Time sped merrily on, however,
and friends before, but brothers now,
had TO part. Our people reached
home on the train this morning, and
are extolling the praise of the Davis
people on every hand.

In Want Of MIX.

A good story is told of two young
Englishmen travelling in Europe. They
had never thoroughly mastered any Of
the languages commonly spoken on the
continent and were particularly weak
in their French. knowing that language
we'll enough by sight, but not having
speaking acquaintance with it.
Finding themselves in small French
town one evening, they were desirous
of obtaining good cup of coffee. Know
ing that cafe was coffee, and that lait
was milk, they endeavored to call for a
judicious mixture of the two, but their
articulation was of so remarkable an
order that they succeeded only in get
ting the coffee. Cafe au late they tried
without success. Then du lay-it was
attempted unavailihgly. The suggestion
that lait might be pronounced Eight"
was adopted equally in vain.
Finally in despair one Of the strug-
Cling youths exclaimed:
"Well, it's mighty queer we don't
know enough to get a little drop Of
milk.
"Doyou want milk?' asked the wait
ress, opening her mouth for the first
time.
yves" stammered the travellers,
overwhelmed with surprise.
Then why didn't you say SO at first?"
queried the girl as she founced off.
And again the young men didn't
know. London Tit-Bits

Condition of Crops.

The crop bulletin sent out by the
Weather and Crop Service at Colum-
bus, dated June 3D., gives the condi-
tion of crops in the northern section
of the state as follows:
The week has been very dry, with
not enough rain in any county to
help vegetation to any extent. Mon
day was quite cold, and the last three
days of the week have been exces
sively hot, with more than average
amount of sunshine. Wheat has not
made a good growth and is heading
with the straw quite short; is spotted
and uneven in many places. Oats
have made but little growth, and still
show the effects of the late freezing.
Rye is in poor condition and some
fields are being plowed under, some
others are being pastured. Corn, that
was killed by the frost and cut worms,
has nearly all been replanted. All
corn is doing fairly well in nearly all
counties; cut worms are still at work
in some fields. Potatoes that were
cut to the ground are coming up again;
bugs are numerous. Glover looks
fairly we'll. Meadows and pastures
are short, and pastures look brown
in many places. Fruits are recover
ing from the effects Of the cold wealth
er and promise better than was ex-
pected, especially apples and pears.

HALTED BY A MOUNTAIN LION.
a Night Adventure OF Three Girls on .
California Road.

A Night Adventure OF Three Girls on
California Road.
We were driving from Oakland over
the ridge that divides Alameda and
Contra Costa counties, three girls bound
for country dance at Moraga valley, a
little settlement on the Contra Costa
side. 1t was late in January, and the
night was pitch dark, but as the young
rancher who drove knew every inch Of
the way we were not afraid.
We had made the ascent of the noun
tain and were driving down at good
pace when suddenly the horses stopped,
reared and then swerved to one side,
overturning the rockaway and landing
us all in the mud on the side of the
road. No one was hurt, and as we pick
ed ourselves up, wondering in dazed
way what the trouble was about, some
thing leaped out Of the bushes, over the
backs of the prostrate horses and lit in
the brush on the lower side of the road.
There was fearful roar, and then we
saw two great, green eyes glaring out
of the darkness.
The driver had succeeded in pulling
the frightened horses to their feet and
righting the wagon. He ordered us to
get into our seats, and handing the
lines to the girl on the front seat he
told her to hang on for dear life.
"It is lion, and he'll jump in an
other minute" said the man.
Then, as we sat speechless from
fright, the ranoher drew his revolver.
There was scream unlike and more
dreadful than anything had ever heard.
Then the great beast rolled few fees
in the brush and was still.
After the horses were quietod and we
had regained our composure Sufficiently.
we jumped out of the rockaway, and,
with the aid of matches, examined our
game. 1t was splendid young Califor-
mia mountain lion, measuring about
four feet in length. We three girls
were all very brave when we found the
beast was really dead, so we helped the
driver lift the carcass into the back Of
the wagon and then continued our trip.
creating great sensation among the
young rustics at the dance when we
told Of our adventure. To be sure, we
gave the driver credit for the actual kill
ing, but weren't we there when it hap
pened, and didn't we keep quiet, in
stead of screaming as lots of girls
would have done?-New York Sun.

Bowie's Great Knife.

The bowie knife obtains its name
from Rein P. Bowie, who lived in
Maryland in the early part Of this Gen.
tury. He had a brother who had many
enemies, and he, being turbulent and
fond of hand to hand fights, stood in
need of good weapons. Rein undertook
to furnish him with weapon some
what superior to any that could be found
in those parts at that period. A knife
was made out Of a blacksmith 3 file, and
blade was had nine inches long, to
which was fastened handle of six
inches. The knife was simple. strong in
build and had an admirable temper.
Bowie used it in 10 sanguinary contests,
and then, happening in Philadelphia,
he met with cutler who fashioned it
over for him. Bowie afterward settled
on the Mississippi, and entertained the
celebrated actor Edwin Forrest, to
whom he gave the original knife. For
rest placed the knife in his collection,
where he retained it until his death. -
