OLD-TIME LEGISLATOR,

The luxuries of travel enjoyed by
every n today were an iridescent
dream in the early '40s, and no one
suffered more from the inconvenience
OF travel than preachers, doctors and
legislators, whose several vocations
forced them to take frequent journeys.
Before the halcyon days of railroads
a passes-it was a task of some
magnitude to attend legislative ses-
sions from remote districts. Just how
our early lawmakers in the west pre-
pared themselves for a journey to the
seat of legislative action is shown in
the accompanying picture, which is a
faithful reproduction from an old
daguerreotype.
The portrait represents Aspah Whit
tlesey of the Wisconsin state legisla-
ture, in the garb he wore while jour-

Rhythmic Insect Sounds.

.. A most interesting field of investiga-
ton Is presented by the rhythm of in
sect sounds. When a large number of
crlckets are chirping at night in a field
they do so spontaneously, keeping time
as If led by the baton of a conductor.
Professor A. e. Dolbear says that the
rate of chirp is apparently determined
by the temperature. So invariably is
this the case that when the number of
chirps per minute is known the temper
allure with certainty can be estimated.
At a temperature of go degrees Fahren-
heit the rate is so per minute, and at
70 degrees it is 120 per minute. This
gives a change of four chirps per min
ute for each change of one degree.

The Rewards of Righteousness.

It never goes we'll with him who lives
without God in the world. His life
may be outwardly prosperous and hap
py, but his hopes will decay. While
all that he has fades away like the
flower of the field, each step is remov-
ing him farther from the everlasting
fountain of joy, and he is plunged into
ruin. On the contrary, he who wan
ders in Gods ways, his waiting will
end in joy. The way may often be
rugged and steep, but it leads heaven
wards. With every step the man is ap-
preaching nearer to God and expert
ences Faiths mighty power, and is
able in dark nights and amid hot oon-
fliots to hold up the head, for ha

identity was established by two letters
one from DR.. Birch of the British mu-
scum, and one from Prof. Bonomi NJ

the mummies, but were lost. Could
anything be more conclusive? Accord
ing to modern views Ptolemy and An
tlochus do not appear to have been
proper persons. One married his sis-
ter and the other his stepmother. and
Ptolemy exercised royal authority over
TWO OF his brothers by putting them to

THE PYTHIANS
 ARE DEPARTING Supreme Lodge All That Remains of Annual Encampment. REPRESENTATIVE SClSM Who Has Been Fighting Supreme Lodge, Introduces Resolution
 Restricting Excessive
 Expenditures.
REPRESENTATIVE SCISM

Indianapolis, August 27.-The supreme Lodge Knights of Pythias is about all that remains of the biennial encampment All of the uniform rank and subordinate com panies have left the city.
 The Knights of Khorassan held their final session today.
 The investigation committee appointed by the supreme lodge is still holding meetings.
 Representative w. L. Scism, of Nebraska, who has been fighting the officers of the supreme lodge vigorously for several months and is reported to have made charges of excessive expense accounts, has introduced number of resolutions and documents having a tendency to restrict the officers. One resolution aimed at the SUI preme keeper of records and seals, says that he shall keep an accurate account, showing the exact financial condition of the supreme lodge at all times.
 Another resolution directed at the su- preme master of the exchequer states that he shall keep an account in detailed form of all receipts and disbursements and shall, each quarter, prepare a detailed report showing the date of each remittance from the supreme keeper of records and seals, the amounts of money paid out, together with the name of the payee.
 In another document MT. Scism asked that the supreme master of the exchequer attend every meeting of the lodge and come prepared to turn over all funds to his successor also bring with him an itemized report of expenditures and receipts during the two years.
 A fourth resolution asks that the chair man of the committee on printing be in- structed to advertise for bids for all print ing in not less than three of the leading cities of the country. It provides that the committee is also to invite bids from the leading printers throughout the country
 The committee is to submit printed re- port showing the cost of all printed matter during the time it was in power, together with the number of bids received for each job and the amount of the bids.
