The passing OF the order as national
organization was caused chiefly by
dissensions, which had their origin In
the recent Presidential campaign, and
which caused falling off Of more than
80 per cent ia membership. For some
time the subordinate councils have
refused 20 contribute TO the support
OF the national officers

the order is that a large number OF the
members wanted Office under Mckinley.

martial music from n fun fiedged brass

last night. Upon entering the church,
instead OF the customary choir aud

the Rev. DIR. Brushngham, was fol-
lowed by another on the part OF the
congregation. Whom the band had
finished playing "A lively selection in
waltz time. the audience applaudod
and cheered hartily. The demonstra-

eyes sparkled with good humor as he
stepped up TO the pulpit and said;
Il don't wonder you feel like cheer

A Georgia farmer employed the poe
OF the village to write some obituary
verses on the death OF his brother. ne
gave the poet all the points at his COM

"lle lived this life OF pain an strife,
Paid all that he did owe.

That's jest what he did ssy."con-

THE EQUALITY OF THE SEXES.

The "new woman" has lately
been receiving such dose OF her
own medicine, that the cold man"
can tsko heart aud rush into mat
rlmony whore angels dare not tread.
Equal rights for the sexes and
special privileges for mono, has
lately been established by the
courts OF both Justice ard Cupid,
from Maine to California. In way
of Gnnkeedom. wrengod aud
heart broken lover. sued niece Of
Congressman Dingley for breach OF
promise for his blighted affection
aud got heavy damages from the
young lady and for exercising what
has heretofore been considered n
wOmans special privilege. changing
her mind, anl incidentally her
heart also. The newspaper nc
counts fail TO state whether the
dlsconslate aud rejected suitor
had decided to retire into u
convent or stay out lHto with
the boys and chance his fortune
with the widow. In the Golden
State" recently, man sued his
wife FOR support and won tho case.
1t was taken TO tho Su prone Con rt
and the decision Of the lower court
affirmed, compelling the wife to
support her llegc lord and master.
A great many women have been
doing this from the da wn OF his
tory, but this is the first time the
matter has ever been officially de-
termined, so far as we know. The
Courts have probably decided that
what was "snuce FOR the goose was
sauce for the gander" aud that il
was "a poor rule that would NJ
work both ways" All this iscn-
couraging to an old bachelor who
has been dodging m,trimony for 10
these many years and hanging on

ling. Take heart We bashful

receiving her rights at last with a
vengeance.

THE SUGAR-PLUM TREE.

Have YOU ever heard of the sugar-plum
tree?
'Tis marvel of great renown;
1t grows on the shores of Lollypop sea.
In the garden OF Shut-Eye town.
The fruit of the tree is so wondrously
sweet,
As those who have tasted 1t say.
That good little children have only TO
eat.
OF the fruit to be happy next day
When YOU get 10 the tree YOU would
have hard time,
To gather the fruit which I sing;
For the tree is SO high that no person
can climb
To the boughs where the sugar plums
cling.
But M i'm the tree lives chocolate cat.
AID "A gingerbread dog prowls below;
And this is the way you contrlve to get
at
Those sugar-plums tempting you so
You say but the word to the ginger
bread dog.
AMI ne barlIs with such terrible zest
That the chocolate cat is at once all
agog,
As her swelling proportions attest
And the chocolate cat goes cavorting
around
From this leafy limb into that
And the sugar rplums tumble, OF course.
10 the ground,
Hurrah for the chocolate cati
There are marshmallows, gumdrops
and peppermint canes,
With stripings of scarlet and gold,
And you gather as much of the shower
that rains
Just as much as your apron can hold.
So come, little child, snuggle closer to
me,
In your dainty white nightcap and
gown;
And I'll rock you away to the Lolly-
pop sea,
In the garden Of Shut-Eye town.
