Belding banner. (Belding, Mich.) 1889-1918, 1899-10-19

While some lodges are dormant,
next to losing in membership, others
are booming right along. The same
conditions exist in one case as in
the other. The difference is this: In
the one case the members are wonder
ing why somebody don't do something,
and spending their time arguing over
the shortcomings of others. In the
other case the members are busy doing
something, To wit: getting new mem
bers; and have nc time TO think of the
shortcomings Of others. The only way
TO make things move rs to move them.
A. o. u. w. Record.
Belding banner. (Belding, Mich.) 1889-1918, 1899-10-19

Let no member of il Lodge sit down
at home, comforting himself with the
thought that his dues and assessments
have all been paid, and yet remain
away from the meetings Of his Lodge.
Suppose every other member did the
same, don't you see there would be no
Lodge, no proceedings and that it
would be matter Of only short time
when there would be no Order
Therefore, let each member remember
that he is as good as any other mem
ber but no better, and let him attend
the meeting and do his duty and all
will be well.-kentucky Workman.

Under ordinary circumstances they would
have been obliged TO use ladders for tho

the work not only equally well but also
with far less loss OF time.
Another curious, experiment was made
in tributary OF the Adour. This river Is
deep in some places. and the captain OF
an Infantry regiment. desiring TO cross II
with his men, instructed some of them
TO put on stilts and TO walk here and
there through II until they found a place
where II could be forded. The men, aided
by some native experts, went into the
river and sounded Il in various places.
with the result that they found a point at
which II could be forded with perfect ease
and safety. Returning to the bank Of
the river they made q report TO the cap

Two or three hundred miles may be made

made. When the camel comes TO the end
OF his journey, usually at some oasis on
the edge Of the desert, he does not seek
the shade in haste, but standing IN the
blazing sun chews with his hatchet-like
teeth such dry palm stalks as are In con-
venient reach and, refreshed with this and
barrel or more of water, he is ready to-
continue his journey.
The camel, unlike the elephant. has nsi-
ther wit nor wisdom. Like most Of the
animals Of the desert he is dull and mo-
rose and yields his services to man rather
from stupidity than from education.

With the elephant for the junglc and

a complete transportation system for the

While Indian elephants force English
guns TO tho westward against Afghan
territory TO prevent the opening Of Rus
sian seaport on the Arabian Sea. the Sir
dar must soon extend his operations
based on the Soudan so as TO embrace all
OF the Central African territory which
will be traversed by the Cairo to Cape
railway. For this work there is no arm

Camel Corps, and upon them will devolve

The origin OF the Camel Corps was q

They have been drilled In every possible

that they shall become invincible against
the native forces with which they must
contend. They have even been taught TO

regiment was wading through the water
along the zigzag path Indicated by the
silt walkers. The soldiers wore canvas
shoes while on the stilts and attached
their leather shoes to their knapsacks-
While they marched from one place TO
another they carried the stilts on their
backs in the form of cross and were re-
lieved of their knapsacks, which were
placed in wagons at the rear.
So pleased were the army officers with
these experiments that they finally deter
mined to see whether. stills could be made
really useful at such times as II might be
desirable TO reconnoiter the enemy's
country. So they equipped tried soldiers
with stills and sent them out over a pc
culiarly uninviting tract OF land which
they were to regard for the nonce as hos
tile territory. The men. thoroughly ex-
plored this tract. and the report which
they made satisfied the officers that this
method ofs accommodating would surely
prove useful In actual warfare and
mainly for two reasons-frst, because
men on stilts can see over much wider
extent of territory than men on foot. and
second. because such men can travel
easily over morasses and thickets which
soldiers on foot could only cross after
much difficulty, II at all.
