DISTRICT LODGE. NO. 10.

DISTRICT LODGE, NO. 10.
We could not ask better day than
Wednesday, Sept. |, on which to hold
our regular District lodge, and as dele
gate after delegate arrived at Orwell all
felt that our meeting would be one of
the best ever enjoyed.
At 10 80 the d. G. r. called the meet
ing to order, and after the opening SER
vices the regular work was taken up
until noon when the meeting adjourned
for dinner, which was most beautifully
served in the lodge dining room. At
, o'clock p. m, the lodge reconvened,
the report of committee on credentials
showed twenty-eight candidates in
waiting, and the district degree was
conferred upon them by the D. c. r.,
w. F. Bump.
The question drawer was of much
interest, and the exemplifcation of the
subordinate degree was well done by the
local lodge. Bro. Z. L. Kelley was
recommended for district deputy. At
. o'clock meeting adjourned for supper.
AT O'Clock at the public session was
rendered one of the best, if not the best.
programme ever yet given at session
of the district lodge, and much credit is
due the local lodge. Below Is given The
programme entire:

Duet Rev. ANA Mrs. Benz. swift
keadlng, Mrs. Louisa Han
SOLO Miss Eva Abbey
KecltatiOn, Miss Mabel RAYMOND
Address, Rev. {. l.. Leonard POultnpv "
Music, Orwell Band
Rev. Leonard was in good form and
delivered the best address eyer listened
to by your correspondent. His subject,
"Intemperance-Th Influence of a
Life" was handled with force and CON
vinclng power. With a rising vote of
thanks to the local lodge for its royal
hospitality to the Orwell band for its
splendid music, to all the others who
helped to render such a fine programme
and to Bro. Leonard for his most ex.
cellent address, the meeting adjourned,
but long will 1t live in the minds OF the
large number present.
Vacations for Business Men.
Don't be a slave to business. Be its
master. The days of slavery and
martyrdom are happily past. A slave
can hardly be expected to be a wide
awake individual, and mercantile
martyr is miserable mistit. Good.
healthy recreation makes a bright mer-
chant brighter. Tie man down to the
four walls of his business abode, and he
will speedily become as narrow and
musty as his surroundings. The vaca-
ton season is now with us. OF course
| you allow your clerks a week or per-
haps two without loss of salary. That
is the usual method 1t is such uni
versal custom that many clerks look
upon it as their right, and do not con-
slider it concession on the part of their
employer at all. When they return
from their annual outing it takes them
from one to three weeks to settle down
to work again. This is all wrong Such
clerks should be made to understand
that vacation is supposed to make
them better men and women than they
were before-better salespeople and
business people. 1t should improve
their health, give them a needed rest,
and make them on their return more
willing and anxious to excel in whatever
duties they are expected to perform.
Dry Goods Economist.
Moments are useless If tnfled away
and they are dangerously wasted If con-
sumed by delay In cases where one
Minute Cough Cure would bring imme-
date relief.
