I
Member of No. 26, and twice at
tended the Grand Lodge of Minne-
sofa while the Dakotas were part
of that Jurisdiction, and was elected
as Representative to the Supreme
Lodge from Minnesota in 1880 The
Dakotas were separated from Min
nesota in 1880. as a result OF his
efforts, with membership OF 1915.
They now have over 10000 mem
bers. He was three times elected
Grand Receiver of the new Juris-
diction and declined another re-
election. After separation of the
Oak otas from Minnesota he repre-
sented the new Jurisdiction in the
Supreme Lodge, and when the Da-
kotas We're separated into two .]ur-
isdictions he represented South Da-
kota
The Dakotas, though sparsely set
/ tied, have furnished more large ini-
tiatinns than any other Jurisdiction,
and Brother Sessions has been the
moving and guiding spirit in it all.
The first large initiation was at
Fargo, n d., where 139 were ini-
tiated in one evening The next
was at Aberdeen, the home Lodge,
when l27 were initiated. The third
was at Sioux Falls, when 1S9 were
initiated, and the fourth at Grand
Forks, when 204 were initiated, and
the fifth at Sioux Falls, when 165
were initiated on Tuesday evening,
and so more Oh Friday evening of
the same week, this latter being in
December, 1897.
Brother Sessions comes to the
office of Supreme Master well equip
ped for the position by past service
in various positions in the Supreme
/ Lodge He has served for two years
on the Committee on Good of the
Order, one year az Chairman of the
Committee of the Fraternal Con-
gress. three years as Supreme Trus-
tee, and three years upon the Com
mlttee on Ritual, one year as Chair
man He assisted in making the
present ritual and secret work; also
assisted in framing the Superior
! Lodge Ceremonial and the Degree of
/ Honor ritual and secret work But
/ by far the greatest service Mr. SEES
sions has rendered to the Order has
been as member of the Beneficial
Commission and as Chairman of
the Advisory Committee, which is
of So recent nature as to be well
known to all.
From the first Mr.. Sessions has
been recognized as power for good
in the Order He is a careful think
er and ripe student, and no meas
ure ever receives his support until
he has studied it for himself and
his judgment approves it.
He has always been an advocate
of the Relief Law. because he be-
lieves the whole Order must stand
or fall together, To permit any
Jurisdiction to fail would be to in
vite destruction for all However,
his studies have led him to the con-
clusion that our methods and plans
can be SO improved as to make the
need for relief less frequent and the
amount smaller Out of this relief
grew the work of the Beneficial
Commission and the Classified AS
sessment Plan, He was also an
advocate of such legislation as
would permit of $1,000 certificates,
both of which are now an accom-
plished fact

Try Holding Your Breath.

The modern quick moving elevator,
when it sinks suddenly, gives many
persons an unpleasant, qualmish feeling.
Into well filed elevator in big shop,
ping store the other day stepped from
one of the floors two women.
EDO you know" said one of them to
the other, "that if you hold your breath
going down in an elevator you don It
have that unpleasant feeling; you dom t
feel it at all. p"
OF course nobody in the elevator lis
tened Intentionally. but nobody could
help bearing what she said. Converse
ton instantly ceased, and every body
drew long breath. The elevator shot
downward in silence.

man as he threw back the door, and the
women streamed out from the car upon
the floor, talking now gayly, and there
was one at least who said that the plan
was effective. York Sun.

Efects of a Bee Sting.

An English physician relates an in
stance Of lady who was stung by
bee. y the first moment she seemed to
pay very little attention to it, but very
soon her face became flushed and spots
appeared all over her body. Suddenly
she developed a most severe attack of
asthma, finding great difficulty in
breathing Another instance is that of
young lady who was stung on the
back of her head by an ordinary honey
bee. In less than five minutes her face
began to swell, and very marked red
and white~spots appeared all over the
surface of the body. The swelling ex-
tended over the entire person, accompa-
nied by severe pain, burning and gIddl-
ass. The eyes were almost closed and
the countenance was so distorted as to
be unrecognizable. Very free bathing
in soda water, with little sodaf taken
internally, and hot applications to the
feet and thorough massage finally afford
ed relief, but it was some hours before
the patient recovered from what was
truly an alarming condition. Violent
attacks of nervousness accompanied the
trouble, and the sense of suffocation
was almost intolerable. The young wo-
man had been stung number Of times
before without any apparent unpleasant
result. The physicians were of the opin-
ion that the bee had been feeding upon
some extremely. poisonous plant, which
became concentrated in the venom Of
the sting Be that as it may, the condi-
ton was such as TO excite grave appre-
hension, the more SO as it was several
days before recovery was complete.

HE LOVED THE SEA.
Tennyson Used to Study 1t From the
Downs of the Isle of Wight.

Tennyson Used to Study 1t From the
Downs of the Isle of Wight.
Tennyson said, Somehow water is
the element love best of all four, /" but
in the recent memoir he is also credited
with saying that he "never cared great
ly for the sea on the south coast. 1t is
rot a grand sea, only an angry, curt sea. -
Probably that was view expressed
before he became familiar with the To-
cality, for though the Atlantic does not
plunge against the isle of Wight as
against Cornwall and the west of Ire
land he himself has proved how much
power and enchantment the sea reveals
from the downs. Let the weather be
fair or foul, nature is never dull from
the vantage ground of those convexities
which seem like the rind of the earth
and give an illusion of vastness and
openness beyond their actual area. Men
striding Oh ridges and etched against
the sky indeed seem Gas trees walking"
The wind rustling in the ear, the sheep
bleating, the sea churning among the
powders, the occasional believing of
steamer for pilot, the swallows crying
in their low flights and the gulls scream
ing give the only sounds. When the
mist closes over the scene, strange
sense of being disem bodied possesses us,
we are lost in the impenetrable vapor,
and the gulls pass over our heads, Wis
ible but for an instant as they float from
obscurity into obscurity. In times of
storm one seems to be at the seat of the
elements and witness to all their
processes. The clouds roll and break
against the cliffs like another sea. and
sunbursts flashing from them leave
silver swath over the vexed and SOM
Der pillows. On sultry days water
spout, whirling like deryish, is no I'M
common sight, and he who makes the
downs his observatory becomes wise III
all the phenomena of sea and air. Climb
ing them at night gives one the feeling
of scaling the walls of heaven itself.
They slope like the sides of a pyramid,
and the apex of the pyramid impales
the stars. On sunny days the sea below
is purple, and every shade of blue and
green that can be thought of, even Ito
use one of Tennyson S own descriptions
like peacock's neck"
Rarely was there visitor at Earring
ford that he was not brought up to the
beacon and shown all these wonders and
beauties. Except in his closing years
the poet was found upon them in all
weathers and at all seasons, and from
them and the surrounding scenery he
drew many of the landscapes of his
poems North American Review.

NEW Works. GROWTH.
The City Has Never Halted Since 1t Was
First Fairly Started.

The City Has Never Halted Since 1t Was
First Fairly Started.
Ernest Ingersoll writes paper on the
Greater New York, entitled Reasoning
Out Metropolis, for st. Nicholas.
Mr.. Ingersoll sayss
The people of New York, Brooklyn,
Staten Island and certain nearby north
ern towns resolved to join themselves
together into one city, which is now the
Greater New York. 1t embraces 34l
square miles of territory and includes
population of nearly 8, 400, 900.
Besides these at least another million
dwell on the New Jersey side of the
Hudson river, quite as near and as
closely identified with the great city on
Manhattan Island as are those of the
northern and eastern suburbs. This
makes a population of nearly 4, 500, 600
which may be said to belong to New
York, making it not only by far the
largest center of human life and inter
ests in America, but, excepting only
London, the most populous spot on the
globe.
How has it happened that this vast
city has grown up where it stands:
Why did not the American metropolis
arise somewhere else? Is its position all
an accident, or does history show sound
reasons for its situation? The earliest
settlement here was merely trading
station that gradually became small
seaport, like dozen others along the
coast. Before the year 1900 these were
so nearly alike that he would have been
a wise prophet who truly foretold which
would thrive. Indeed many men of that
day firmly believed that Newport and
Annapolis were to be the two great
American seaports
Great cities arise at the points where
the greatest number of people find it
convenient to meet at first for business
and later for pleasure. You cannot force
a city to grow in an unnatural or insult
able situation, and it is no easier to pre-
vent a city from growing in its proper
place. But the conditions that change a
village into big town and expand the
town into city or metropolis are not
the same in different parts of the globe
and vary with the march of the cen
turtles; so that now many an ancient
world market like Nineyeh or Mem
phis, has totally disappeared, while
towns like Berlin have lately increased
with amazing rapidity, after long his
tory as small and insignificant places.
AS for New York, it has never halted
Or gone backward for moment since
1T was fairly started on its career in
1923

NIGHT.

The sun has vanished out of my sight,
And the moments sadly roll,
For my heart is dark with the thought Of

And the night is in my soul.
The day is set and never will rise,
And my heart is sick and sore,
For the sweet, sweet light of my true loves

Will shine for me no more
Ny very sleep of rest is shorn,
l am full of pain and care
Sick with the thought of what have borne
And of what is left to bear.

But am tired SO sick and tired,

For I know the sun will dry the stream;
And the flow FRET fade in the frost,

And the charm of the dream is lost

For my hoSe and must part,
And my soul is dark with the thought of night
And the night is in my heart.

THE PRESIDENTS POWER.

The enormous power of the Presi-
dent of the United States is potently
illustrated at this juncture. says the
Philadelphia Telegraph. 1t is far
greater power than that welded by
many monarch, and exceeds by far
that of the English premier. Much
of it is associated with Congress, but
a great deal is wholly individual, and
can be exercised quite without con
troll. 1t is most significant to note
how, in time of pressure, every one
turns to the President to learn the
policy of the government. Well, in.
deed, is it if we can then have q
strong and wise man at the head
And we are apt to have, because this
leader is the untrammeled choice OF
a majority of Americans.
