AbOutthe House,

A measure of order, simplicity
and fitness must be obtained in
the arrangement of furnishings,
or they will lose their original
beauty and give the effect of Il
medley of furniture, draperies
and pictures.
\ room that lacks the element
of comfort is never inviting, how
ever expensive in appointments
may be.
In furnishing = bedroom we are
dealing with the lungs of the
house. and whatever else we do.
we must not obstruct the free en-.
trance of fresh air.
The knack of adapting and con.
verting what one has into what
she desires is one of the most
valuable gifts or requirements
that the homemaker with good
taste and shallow purse can
have.

THE cosr OF A BOY.

1t does not take as much money
to live in the country or a small
town like this as it does to live in
the city. / read the other day that
it cost $1,000 to bring up a city
boy and educate him and dress him
we'll. l said to myself. That is
because everything in the city has
to be bought, and living is high. "
But begin to study the thing, and
I found out that even a country
boy costs his parents good deal.
When you count what boy eats,
and what he wears, and the school
books he has to have, and the doc
tor bills that have to be paid when
he gets the measles or scarlet fever,
he will cost his folks at least 800
per year. l guess if a boy is pretty
bad to smash things, or to kick his
shoes right out, he costs more than
that. SO when l am 20, and old
enough to do for myself, L shall
have cost father more than s., 1000.
Mother cooked my victuals, made
my clothes and patched them,
washed and ironed for me, took
care of me when | was a little fell
low and whenever l was sick, and
she never charged anything for
that. If she were dead, and father
had to hire all that done, it would
cost him another 500 year or
more, and that's So, 900 worth of
work mother will have done for me
by the time | am a man. Four
thousand dollars for a boy! What
do you think of that?
These are hard times. When
parents put 81 900 into a boy, what
have they a right to expect of him?
Is it fair for a boy to play truant
at school' Is it fair for him to
play ball, 60 in swimming, or hang
around town all the time, when
maybe his fathers potatoes are not
dug, nor the wood brought in for
his mothers Is it fair for him to
disappoint them by swearing, smok-
ing or drinking.
The parents of some of us have
put about all the sproperty they
have into us boys and girls. Ii we
make spittoons and whisky-jugs of
ourselves, they Will be poor indeed.
But if we make good citizens and
substantial men, they will feel as
ii they had good pay for bringing
Us up. Boys, what do you think
about this matter Exchange.

ORIGIN IN AMERICA.

The father of Odd Fellowship in
America was Thomas Wildey, an
Englishman, who died in Baltimore,
October 19. 1851, and it was in that
city on April %, 1919, that the order
was instituted. Wildey came to this
country in 1915, and worked at his
trade of coach-spring maker. His
station in life was so little elevated
and his private life so uneventful as
to leave him much in obscurity. He
was characterized as a true speci-
men CT the English John Bull, with
the bluffness, sincerity and pluck of
his nation. He was a member of
lodge No. II of the Odd Fellows
Order in London, and he had risen
from the lowest to the highest Office.
On coming to this country be made
the acquaintance of John Welch,
also an Englishman and an Odd Eel
low. The two talked much of the
old times and days, and Wildey con-
cluded to publish notice calling for
the meeting of such Odd Fellows as
might be residing in Baltimore. The
meeting took place on April 13, 1919,
five men being present, including
Wildey, who informed them of his
intention of establishing the order
of Odd Fellows on new soil. The
lodge was established at the Seven
Stars tavern, Baltimore, and opened
on Monday, April 26, 1919, under the
title, Washington lodge No. l, of
the Independent Order of Odd Fell
lows of the United States.''

mountains of California, my

There | live and try to be happy.

1t is good to live. | have the

but hOw-and l will tell you how
the poet is made. He must come
to the world with ideas not words.
For Il long time the world has
been waiting for men with ideas.
The youth with the poetic soul
must learn that everything and
everybody in the world is beauti-
full or trying to be beautiful; that
all things are good or are trying
to be good. He must know love
and passion. The cynic is Il
corpse. He contaminates the air,
damning not only himself but ev-
erything that touches him. The
pessimist is a leper, he is conta-
gious. he should die. Does he not
know that when God made all
things. he looked upon them, and
behold they We're goOd?' So the
young poet must know these
things, must believe them, and
then come to the world with his
ideas, not mere words"

THE REBEKAHS.

In 1851, through the efforts of Mr..
Schuyler Colfax, the degree of Re-
behah was adopted by the Grand
Lodge of the United States for the
use of ladies legally connected with
subordinate lodges by male member
ship, and of Odd Fellows as well.
The order is fiourishing and is
thought at present to have a mem
bership of mere than 300, 900.
THE OPEN HAND.
During the year ending December
81, 1897, there was paid by the order
for the relief of distressed members,
the sum of s3,364 ,029. OF this So
047, ,285 was paid by subordinate
lodges, s265, ,965 by encampments,
and S51 1873 by RebekaEs. This is an
evidence of the "milk of human
kindness" quietly disbursed, of suffi-
cient extent to excite remark, and a
credit to the order disbursing 1t.
