ume which L do with proper fear and
tremblin'. / regret to do this with
out permission of the author but he
may be ded-aS ded as the gote-and
il is the only way the vulger and gen.
tile public can get eny idee why our
noble order had such b influence.
The book is writ in stile well cal
Related to appel to the onderstandin'
of the averidge member and even the
furniture and workin' tools of the
lodge are mynewtly deskribed. Mr..
Ronnick seZ in part:
cit is an nawful thing to reveel the
secrets of our order. The pen atty is
three days absolute silence which our
leaders consider the worst calamity
possible except to be deprived of hav-
in OffiSes Seak us.
One of the cheef ornaments of our
lodge room is the rams head which is
em blematical of the way we go at
things Another is rope once used
by a suiside which represents results.
These are ably seconded by the skull
and cross bones GRIMM at an empty
bee gum which is prOfetical."
1t surely was very profetical. The
Keeper of the RelickS was charged
with the responsible dooty of preserv-
in these jewels and emblemS. The
book deskribes the rites and Sarah
Money of inishgashun as follers:
1.-The candidate for admission is
blind folded with a hood-wink called
sNon-Partisan.' His condition is then
typical of his relation to self-inLerest.
To inkulkate proodence and -forbear-
ance he is then turned loose, blind
and barefooted, while the members
roll punkinS between his legs from the
corners and principal stations OF the
lodge room. At the same time d voice
in an adjecent room inquiries in holler
aXentS, lis he dooly and trooly pre-
pared for Reform?"
Even now this faithful deskripshun
of these sollen rites brings back Il
sense of awful responsibility in the
work and objeck of our noble order.
This degree was called ''Rooral kro-
kay" and Taught great moral lesson.

required to take this degree.l
l shall keep this little book and
quote further from it next week.
There are two more degrees.
Wednesday night.-The senate has
just agreed to adjourn on Friday. sine
die. That's an awful word and Friday
is a powerful onlucky day, ennyhow,
but may be the people kin stand it.
Thursday, January 5.-The senate
Is agoin' to insure all our school houses
nal legislation. 1t is maternal.
My boldly gard is hotten hemlock

emmy old bill afore this extra oncom-

S. I'm afeared Fike is disappointed,
too, but the Dims can't work US pops,
always. They air boath Dimmykrats.
Friday, Ga Reckless Republican
rgshly ackused our Xeckytive of boOd
lin but he he'd to take it back. No
meezly old party man kin ackuse our
people of takin' bribes and make it
stick. 1t takes a man of our own
kind to do that. Reform is a traid
which heZ to be learnt and a man
can't do emmy good at it unless his hole
sole and boldly is devoted to the
cause.
Saturday, 7.-I'm afeared we won't
adjourn in time to go home. Seems
like there is no chance to make a cent
this seshun.
Sunday. 81 feel like funeral per-
cession and theris no chance to shake
it off-I.ye lost my keys.
January 9.-lt is sad to see emmy

see CRATE reform peeter out.
Alasl That mine ewes should see

wife and children, suffered terribly
from La Grippe. One Minute Cough

them. 1t acted quickly Thousands
of others use this remedy as a specific
for La Grippe, and its exhauSting af-
