I am not nightly mistaken, saw lately
something like you feeding in Horse
Heaven In very questionable company.
The study of Levels is nora little COM
nlicated. Every man, according 10 the
way you look at him, occupies many ana
very different levels, and is very different
" classified. You may measure men 10y
their avolrdupois or muscle OF length the
oapacity Of their paunches ana powers
Of digestion. or by their graces Of person,
heetness or endurance. or, on the oiheI
hand. you may measure them by their
general intellect and qualities Of soul
Almost every man has some one charac-
terlstic. power, or quality that sets him
up; and II IS a rare thing if he has not
some miserable set-on that brings him

1t is Of 10 little importance TO our peace
Of mind and general satisfaction that We
have, for our own use, Just weights and

words High and Great and Splendid ana
MAGNIFICENT and Immense. ana all that.
They carry weight and power with them.
And a plain, common. average man. by
the mere force of courtesy. feels himself
reduced TO nothing IN the presence OF
something Of that sort. In the presence
Of a great boxer a man feels Ike a baby.
The effect OF contrast is almost irreslst-
bic.
The confusion and bewilderment Is very
bad when We see persons, distinguished
for very different kind Of merit. on high
levels In strange connections. As. FOR ex-
ample. when a lawyer Of high learning
is on the highest and most disting uished
level Of dissipation a leader among lewd
men or women; a prince for intellect.

The order Of Drulds primarily IS Of
Tisstern origin Histfy speaks OF II
as an order OF learned men among the
ancient Celts-a race Of people who left
the parent hive IN Asia az a very early
period. and settled In Western Europe
many centuries preceding the Christian
era.
The United Ancient order Of Druids
assumed IT'S prVacnt character I'm Eng
land IN the year Isl. il was introduced
in America 'out the year 1880. but vas
not permanently established until 1880
when George Washington Grove, No. J..
was orsanzed ia Sew York city. and In
1910 the second Grove was organized
From that time the order has grown, and
Is now established IN almost every State
and Territory IN the United States.

us for our elevation. a puddle-duck can

sensation in his head and a lightness
round his stomach, to take turn about
the garden.
But suddenly he doubted whether he
was yet awake.
There in front of him was an animal
he had never. seen before. He thought
it was ar animal. But it was strangely
like himself, yet strangely different. His
surprise increased. For some moments
he was speechless. Then:
What are you?" he gasped.
The unusual creature smiled.
She picked loose hair off one OF his
shoulders, compared it with his wild
unkempt locks and smiled again.
