Lodge, Independent Order of Odd
Fellows, will convene here next
Monday, February 3.
The encampment branch will
meet and perfect it's organization
at 10 o'clock a. m. in the Odd Eel
lows hall in the Mason building.
The state assembly, Daughters of
Rebekah branch, will assemble to
perfect its organization in the same
hall later in the daytime not yet
set.
A 1:30 O'clock p. m. all Odd
Fellows in the city, whether, men,
bers of the grand lodge or not,
both local and visiting brothers.
will assemble at Bryan hall, cor
ner Fannin and Rusk avenues, to
participate in the parade, which
will start from that point prompt
ly at 2 o'clock.
Some brothers have been under
the impression that none but en-
campment and grand lodge men,
bers were to take part in the
parade. On the contrary, how
ever, every Odd Fellow, though
he has received only the initiatory
degree, is supposed to take part in
the parade.
The line of march will probably
be (unless changed later) from
Fannin on Rusk to Travis, on
Travis to Franklin, Franklin to
San Jacinto, San Jacinto to Con-
gress, Congress to Main, Main to
Texas avenue, Texas avenue to
Caroline, and disband at Turner
hall, where the public reception
will be rendered the grand lodge.
Herbs band and a band from
Galveston will furnish the music
for the parade.
At 80 p. m. the grand lodge
will assemble at Bryan hall and
perfect its organization. All past
grands who desire to take the
grand lodge degree will be ex-
pected to be there at that hour. The
balance of the work of the grand
lodge will be done in this hall and
the sessions Of the grand encamp-
ment and state assembly, Daugh-
tiers of Rebekah, will be held in
Odd Fellows hall in the Mason
building, alternating their sessions.
Tuesday morning at 8 O'Clock
sharp the Dallas degree team will
exemplify the work ir the encamp-
ment degree and at $50 p. m. they
will work in the subordinate de.
grees. Both will be done in Bryan
hall.
All enrampment members are
urged to witness the work in the
degrees Of that branch, and all
subordinate members to witness
the subordinate degree work, for to
witness the work properly execut-
ed will make better Odd Fellows
of all who witness it.
All local Odd Fellows are re-
quested to act on the committee Of
reception, that visiting brothers
will meet no trouble in getting
around. I'm a word, each local
member should constitute himself
walking bureau Of information"
to the end that not one visitor can,
after returning home, say that he
or she did not enjoy their visit to
Houston.
Badges will be provided the re-
ception committee, who are ex-
pected to meet all incoming trains,
no matter what hour they arrive.
Each of the committee will be fur
nished printed cards, showing the
various hotels and boarding
houses, with rates and number
that can be accommodated.
The local committee will make
headquarters at the Capitol hotel,
where badges will be distributed to
representatives and all visitors en-
titled to the same.

DRAFT POWER OF THE KATYDID

One Bird Pulled a Phenomenal Load
of Pencils and Paper.
From the Springfield Republican
I recently performed an experiment In a
rather crude way to test the drawing pow

mon katydid. Seeing the katydid and not

From the want Of something better,
took sheet Of ordinary note paper (size
Sx1O inches) and folded 1t once. The cor
ners OF one end were folded together and a
piece of ordinary thread fifteen inches
long was attached to 1t. The other end
was tied around the mesothorax, passing
beneath the katydid.
The first trial proved that it was no task
at all to pull this paper on a smooth topped
table table with no covering. Next twelve
inches OF heavy paper, by Al inches in
size. were added one after another. a large
screw, two steel pens and small stone
weighing about 4wo ounces were placed on
great effort on the part Of the katydid.
After giving 1t a short rest, 1 added a
new lead pencil having a tin tip with a rub
Der on it: This was drawn easily: a

of the table and ITS right feet were on the

Its load slowly for short distance.

Roads in France,

from the Pittsburg Dispatch.
A traveller Is especially struck with the
fine roads in France. Of which tho people
are justly proud. The government keeps
up perfect system OF care and inspection
and wherever one goes he may be sure of
finding the principal roads in excellent con-
d1t1on. They are often bordered with trees
Tor miles, and are in perfect state tor
bicycle riders.
All the underbrush. small twigs and even
the lower branches of the trees have been
cut for firewood. and not a twig Is wasted
All are gathered and tied up in bundles
ready for use. Every foot of ground is
cultivated. or so It seems to strangers
There are mountains and barren places
where nothing will grow, but every bit Of
ground that can produce anything is made
to do so. The winter Is SO mild south of
the Loire that vegetables are hourishiny
In the gardens at all times. There are, Of
course, certain seasons for the different
ones. except the haricots verts (string
beans) end the dwarf radishes. These are
In France must be enormous.
The fields are not generally separated by
fences or hedges. The dividing line IT,
however. clearly shown by the sort of
grain growing in them. AS most Of the
farmers keep sheep, the absence of fences
necessitates the shepherd or shepherdess

May BUILD n jap Cruiser.

From the Philadelphia Record.
The plans Of warships for Japan to be
built in this country will shortly be COM
pleted. and 1t is fully expected that the
Cramp Company will get the contract to
build at least one of these vessels. A ma
jority OF the ships for the mikado's new
navy VIII be built at the British yards on
the Tyne and Clyde. and according to pres
ent arrangements two second-class cruisers
are about all that are likely to be built in
the United States. OF these contracts one
is likely to go to the Union Iron Works of
San francisco, and the other to the Cramps.
American builders had hoped to get a
chance to construct at least two first-class
cruisers of the New York type and also a
battle ship or two. but this is not now
thought probable as the vessels to be built
In this country will resemble" this govern

Got Turned Around.

From III" Chicago Journal.
He was a rather nce-looking old man,
and when 1 observed him he was going
north on Clark street. When he stepped
on the bridge he didn't notice that II began
turning to let a big vessel through. He
walked slowly, with head down. and ap-
peared to be in a deep reverie. The bridge
swung clear around and the old man
stepped on terra firma. and he continued
his walk. He never noticed that the
bridge had thrown him off his course and
that he was going south instead of north
as he intended. until he reached the city
hall: then he glanced up at the big pile OF
stone. scratched his head and went over
and talked to the policeman on the corner
Il have lived here twenty years" he hic-
coughed, "and this is the first time / knew
the city hall had been moved to the North
Side and the copper's most persuasive
words failed to straighten the gentleman
