WHERE ARE THE HEROES2
When the news came this week that
war was inevitable" the most manifest
feature OF the occasion here was the
fact that out Of that large class of citi-
zeus who have all along plead for hostili-
ties. not one could be found who was
willing to take part in the war. or who
had the slightest idea OF volunteering.
Even those who have almost demanded
war. and who openly criticised the Presl-
dent and Congress for delaying armed
Intervention" now hoot at the sugges-
ton Of their facing the enemy In battle.
The light frost Wednesday night, ana
the cold snap Thursday, caused another

that some Of the fruit that survived the
hard spell in the early part OF this month
was injured.

much as the farmers by the storm. On
Thursday the wind was 80 high that the

The officers and members of Branch

entertained their friends Tuesday even

and social reception. The programme
opened with several popular selections
rendered by the Hickory Quartet Rev.
Father Rock, of the Cathedral, was the
principal orator of the evening, and he
delivered most pleasing and instructive
address on the history of this well-known
fraternal order and the great work it has
done. His remarks were frequently az
plauded.
Mr.. H. A. Veeneman. State Vice
President, spoke on the subject of insur-
ance, telling the audience the advantages
to be derived from membership in the
Knights. Interesting remarks we're also
made by Mr.. Pat Holley, of Branch 81;
Mr.. Mike Reichert and others.
The proceedings were interspersed
with vocal and musical selections, and
those present voted the smoker a sue.

GEORGE ]. BUTLER.
Enlarges and Improves His Grocery,
Until II Is One of the
Finest in the City.

Not many years ago George J. Butler
was employed at his trade as a stonecut-
ter and regarded as one of the best work
men in the city. He had the confidence
and respect of his fellow workmen, being
their representative when the Soft Stone
workers National Union was formed
Owing to dizziness at that trade he con-
cluded to branch out in business for him
self and opened grocery atTwentieth and
Portland avenue. Several of his friends
thought his step i'll advised, but Mr..
Butler was possessed of a determination
that succeeds, and at the close of his first
year he was able to meet all his obliga-
tons and have a snug sum left. Since
that time he has pursued the same
course, until now he has one of the larg-
est and best equipped grocery stores in
the West End. Recently his place of
business was enlarged and fitted with
new fixtures and his stock of goods is
one of the finest in the city.
Besides being a good business man,
Mr.. Butler is highly respected by all his
neighbors, and the children prefer to
trade with him because of his uniform
kindness and courtesy. His success has
been phenomenal and matter of surprise
not only to his friends, but to the bust
ness community.
We call the attention of our readers to
his advertisement in another column.
