On a somewhat large monument was
daguerreotype set deep in the stone and un-
der the familiar old epitaph
Behold my friends, as you pass by
As you are living so once was |, Sc etc.
what thou art reading Ger my bones
I've often read on other stones
And Others soon shall read of thee
What thou art reading now of me-"
We used to be told in Fayetteville after
Billy Kimbalrs death that he himself COM
posed the last verse for his monument. DR..
Prime also speaks of an old graveyard in
the western part of Putney and says that
type will not reproduce the rudeness of the
lettering in what he quotes, but will ex-
hibit the patience of the unskilled fingers
which cut characters deep in red sandstone.
From Newfane history the author describes
the marriage of Major Moses Joy to Mrs.
Hannah Ward, giving it as the only in
stance he knew in American history of
what in England is called ''smock mar
riage." Among other things of Brattle-
boro he writes: zone could pass month
in Brattleboro and drive every day new
road and a good road, every rod of which
is beautiful, whether in Vermont or across
the river in New Hampshire" and then he
goes on to give charming descriptions OF
some of these and other drives.

The Jamaica Horse Tanner Subdued
"ROyal John"


Royal John, the man eating stallion,
was shot to death at Minneapolis Tuesday.
The horse was an unusually large and vi
cious brute. Royal John was brought to
Minneapolis Nov. %, from Chicago by
PROF. " Gleason, the noted horse tanner,
who is native of Jamaica. Gleason gave
two exhibitions with him in the exposi-
ton building at Minneapolis. No other
man had ever dared to get within kicking
or biting distance of him. But Gleason
subdued him in short order, and even rode
him on the stage, although it took a bri-
gade of men to bring him to and from the
building. Gleason made the statement at
the time that the horse was thoroughly
tanned, and that a child would be safe
around him afterwards. But in this he
was mistaken. Royal Johns temper soon
became as bad as ever.

R. ". GEORGE ADAMS.
DISTRICT DEPUTY GRAND MASTER OF THE
SIXTEENTH DISTRICT.

X. w. Bro. George Adams was born In CheI,en-
ham, England. on November o. 1885, and emlgrated TO
America at thirteen years of age. His remarkable
mental capabilities. evidenced by the record OF
his attainments, will be more plainly understood
and appreciated from the fact that he received very
little schooling, and is entirely n sef-taught and
self-made man At the age OF seventeen his thirst
Tor knowledge began, and from that time on amid
ardueus toll he struggled manfuy ITO know and
TO learn lie mastered shorthand becoming a
very proficient stenographer wrote COMPOSITIONS Of
merit. and made wonderful progress In other lines
Bro. Adams was a workman In many different
manufactures In the early part Of his life having
learned two trades In 1861 he was employed
In the Southern States. and returning In 1858, he
was married TO Minerva l. Skinner, end five chill
dren have been born TO them, four OF whom arc
now living viz Austin @. Adams travelling audi
tor on the New-York Central Railroad; c. s.
Adams. business manager OF the Watertown Stand
ard Company; Ernest II. Adams well-known
clothing cutter, and George w. Adams at one
time superintendent OF the Watertown street rail-
road. lie was employed at his trades until 1874:
was at ono time assistant superintendent OF the
Davis Sewing Machine Co. In Watertown where -
delivered notable address to the work!ngmen and
others assembled the occasion of the opening Of
their new building, occupied by the Watertown
Spring Wagon Company. In 1874 he left the shops
for the business world and entered into the gen
eral music business with his brother, under the
firm name OF Adams Brothers-a well-known firm
among the music houses OF NewYork City.
A few years ago he retired from business and at
this writing is giving his time to the public schools
and to Masonry. In 1878 he was elected Supervisor
from the First Ward Of his city. In 1887 he pub
lished book of poems which was very favorably

THE SOUND OF THE GAVEL.

Soon our lodges Will resume labor. Our
brethren are about TO return from refreshment
"a the Quarries OF Masonry, and again the sound
Of the gavel Will be heard In the East calling
the craft to order and calling them TO Masonic
work
There Is much activity expected during the
coming fall and winter, as most OF our lodges
have candidates in waiting for the several de-
grees but Il Is to be hoped that something more
than the mere making Of Masons will be the aim
and object OF our brethren. Much hard ma
terialism has crept I'm among us recently. which
possibly Is due somewhat to the great effort
made by the craft some years ago TO pay of
the heavy debt which Thea rested on our Temple,
and by the great strain upon the purse Of all to
accomplish this great work and as all great
works and great movements leave some evil re-
suits behind. so this has left the dregs Of hard
Inateralym and cold money getting in the minds
Of many brethren. This feeling should now be
suppressed or absolutely abolished and return
10 the pure sentiments Of the order should be
cultivated by lodges and brethren
The Temple debt Is long since removed. the
hall belongs 10 the craft, absolute and entire;
and fund Of nearly quarter Of million is In
the hands Of the trustees Of the Asylum Fund.
The Home is finished and occupied and additions
being built 10 II the needs OF the craft re-
quire them. Let us then look 10 the main to
the very foundation Of Masonry. 10 charity as
the cornerstone of all our Masonic work let
see TO the sick brethren visit them and cheer
them in their sufferings. attend to the widows,
take care Of the orphans, for all cannot and
need not 20 10 our Home. Cultivate this noblest
of sentiments right here among ourselves. and
return to the good old feeling. that it is duty
10 help aid and assist a brother Mason: impress
this on all newcomers and respect it yourselves
Bind them for sign upon thine hand and they
shall be frontlets between thine eyes; write
,Hem upon the posts Of thine houses and on thy
gates.
our modern civilization requires money for all
things, in fact makes money the ground Of and
of modern civilization by paying all the debts
and 10y accumulatng a great fund. Let us now
return 10 the sentiments of old and let some Of
he n15ler and higher feelings be reincucated
closer together. and the words in our ritual be
not idle words and empty phrases, rather that
may truly be a band OF brothers loving each
other caring for each others interests and feel
.ng that We belong to an institution uneQualled
on earth, blessed by the great Jehovah on high |
and esteemed. loved and honored by all men. |
