Worth Paying in Advance.

An exchange speaks OF man who,
it is said. always pays for his local
paper in advance. As a result, he
has never been sick day in his life,
never had corn on his toe, or the

his oats never rust; the weasel
never kills his chickens the frost
never kills his beans; his babies
never cry at night, and his wife
never scolds. When he dies he will

THAT VOTE OF CONFIDENCE.

To the Editor of The Spyi
Several months ago the Masonic
Committee of 33' proposed certain
changes in the bylaws of the several
Masonic bodies of this city. These
proposed changes were not accepted,
but after full and free discussion were
rejected. The committee naturally felt
sore.
To alIay as much as possible this
feeling, the expression of confidence
in the committee which was given in
full in last Sundays Spy was drawn
up and signed largely by the frater-
nifty, the present writer being one of
the signers. He doubts if any OF those
whose names were affixed to that doc
ument intended thereby to indorse the
proposed amendments that had so re-
Gently been rejected.
The committee evidently read that
idea into the document, and proceeded
Immediately to call the Horticultural
hall mass meeting and invited a sec
ond defeat on the same ground by
then announcing and more recently
bringing practically the same propo-
sition before the lodges and other
bodies.
Concerning the unanimous endorse
ment Of the proposition at the mass
meeting, it may be said there were
not wanting those present who de-
clined to vote because they believed
that public meeting was not a prop
er time or place to discuss the ques-
ton, especially under the circumstan-
ces, and because they knew that it
could be decided only in the lodges at
their regular meetings.
The writer makes these statements
because he believes that they, more
especially the first concerning the prs
vious rejection of the proposed new by
law should have been included in ths
story published in The Sunday spy.
whereas that story made it appear
that the committees plan was q
result instead of the cause of the ex-
preston of confidence referred to.
The writer has only to say further
that he does not feel that he has
broken faith with the order or the
committee in opposing their plan,
which he conscientiously does.
One of the Brethren.
