Gather them close to your loving heart
Cradle them on your breast;
They will soon enough leave your brooding
care.
Soon enough mount youths topmost stair
Little ones In the nest
Fret not that the children's hearts are gay,
That their restless feet will run;
There may come time in the by and by
When you'll sit in your lonely room and sigh
For sound OF childish fun.
When you'll long for n repetition sweet,
That sounded through each room
OF Mother Motherr the dear love calls
That will echo long In the silent halls,
And add TO their stately gloom.
There may come time when you'll long 10 hear
The eager. boyish tread,
The tuneless whistle the clear SIN in shout,
The busy hustle in and out,
And patterng overhead.
When boys and girls are all grown up
And scattered far and wide,
| Or gone 10 that undiscovered shore
Where youth and age come nevermore,
You will mi ss them from your side
Then gather them close TO your loving heart
Cradle them close on your breast;
They will soon enough leave your Droodiu

Soon enough mount youths topmost stair

nuRRAY REUNION.

VIM. II. Murray and family were
residents of the state OF New York. In
the fall of 1913 they removed to Michl-
gan aud settled near what Is now called
Murray lake, in Vergennes. Kent co.
There with his beloved wife, three
BOYS and five girls carved for them
selves good and comfortable home
from the primeval forest. They who
lived In those pioneer days knew well
what toll and privation meant, but I'M
daunted courage and noble purpose
won for them what they most desired,
home. All honor then to the old
pioneer
Now after many years and wheh
father and mother have gone to their
last resting place, and their children
have grown TO be old men and women
with silvered locks 1t was desired that
they have Murray reunion. The
day set for this pleasant occasion vas
August 10. 1899, at the commodious
home of Mr.. aud Mrs Thos. Barnes, IN
the town of Bovine. Mrs. Barnes being
one of the three sisters now living.
The Oldest is a'resident Of Minnesota,
one died i'm young womanhood and the
other beloved sister and loving mother
rests in peace in Orleans cemetery:
She died last February, aged 81 years.
The brothers, William, Richard and
James Murray, with their families and
lO.I. Watkins aud wife, another sister,
were among the guests present, also
many nieces, nephews, cousins and
friends, 60 in all.
The dinner was sumptuous and APP
preciated by alt. The dinner hour was
our best time for jokes and good cheer
as all can testify. After dinner the
company had pictures taken by w,
Newton, OF Freeport, aud snapshot
~ G.. T.. Francisco. o. /. Watkins
then made few appropriate remarks
We then listened to some fine piano
music by Mrs Degolia, and two good
old-time hymns sung, also "A duet by
James Murray aud wife, "lf were as
young as ! use to be. "
Ice cream and cake was served before
the good by was said and the parting
hand. shake which comes all too soon
But we with 20 others stayed over
night aud were entertained with music
and two well rendered recitations by
Miss Iva Smith, of Cadillac. AT lat,
hour We adjourned for the night feel
ing that our Murray reunion had beer
: pleasant success. 1t was decided tina
We hold Il reunion next year.

Not one. half OF the articles handled
by the trusts are protected by Tariffs.
Not one-half the capitalization OF the
great consultations is devoted To the
production Of articles which are Fro
tected. In forming these consolida-
tions the real objects were an economy
of organization and monopoly OF the
local production. These being the
prime object, the Tariffs affect them
neither in one way nor the other, ex-
cept as they may exclude a foreign
competition. II we throw open the
doors TO foreign competition IL would
necessitate even greater economy IN
organization to enable home producers
to compete profitably. There would
be no surer way to put the entire pro-
duction of the country into the hands
OF consultations than by striking down
all our tariff duties. There would be
an absolute necessity for trusts then, OF
else we should have TO give our mar
kets over To the Europeans and go ou'
of business, for we could not continue
to produce in any but the most econom
ical way against unrestricted iorelgf
competition. Trusts are an evil no one
disputes that, but the removal OF al
tariff duties will not cure that evil by 1
long ways.

Depression and encouragement

Lodges, as well as individuals, have
their periods of depression and discour-
agement. 1t is thought that in the
economy of nature the still, frosty
night and tossing OF the tempest are
as necessary to the growth and ulti-
mate strength and perfection OF the
monarch of the forest as are the pearly
dewdrops, the glad, warm sunshine and
gentle zephyr.
There are times when interest grows
dull, enthusiasm GIBBS and the work OF
the lodge seems utterly dull and spirit
less; when nothing useful has been ac-
complshcd, and the time seems more
than wasted Yet we can never live
up TO our ideals; we cannot always be
doing great things. To do ones duty,
to do the best one knows, is really,
truly great.
We must, as individuals and as
lodges, remember that we are only one
of the many; that although our meet
ings are not as large and as enthusi-
astic as they have been, and that they
seem OF little consequence, yet from
night to night, week To week and year
to year, throughout the entire state
yes, throughout the United States, and
even the world--meetings Of our great
brotherhood are being held. Each
doing something for the common cause
each contributing of its means for the
betterment OF the human race; eacl
teaching the principles OF that frater
nal affection which drives from the
heart all base passions and brings man
kind into the sweetest fellowship.
Each lodge, however small, must d,
! lis part. We cannot do too much
Let each lodge seek 10 know and then
do its full duty; then shall we find ouI
reward in the grand sum total of kindly
ministries that shall help To bless and
redeem the human race, -CallfOrnia
Odd Fellow.

Naval Commissioner Hobson has just
sent to the government a report on the
condition OF the three Spanish vessels
raised at Manila and sent TO Hong
Kong for repairs. They are the lsla
de Cuba, the Isla de Luzon and the Don
Juna de Austrias. The total value OF
these vessels will be 100000, and the
cost of their recovery is about 1904, 600.
Hobson says the totally submerged
parts OF the vessels were in better con-
dition than those partly submerged,
which fact leads him To hope for the
recovery of three other Spanish ships
now on the bottom Of Manila bay.
Hobson writes his impressions of the
future of the orient, and says he thinks
Manila will lead Hong Kong as the
commercial mart of that part of the
world

er officer to receive them was the tinan
cial secretary, the constitution and laws
of the society not authorizing the pay
ments to the recording secretary.
The recording secretary denied re
ceiving the assessments: but it was held
that under the laws of the order, unless
il could be shown that the assessments
were received by the officer authorized
To receive them under the laws of the
order, the society was not liable. The
Jury found that the proper officer die
