''Tbere js more than one way to
skin cat" So there are more
ways than one to promote growth
in our Order.
One way is to have good lecturers
and organizers in the field. Men
who thoroughly understand the
principles of our Order and who
know just when and just how to
present them and to whom.
To be good organizer, one must
be something of a Judge of human
nature; must be ofpleasing address;
argumentative; must not be bore.
This is the kind of person TO go
into a new field; gather nateral;'
start a new Lodge.
Or he may go into town where
Lodge already exists, and, with
the assistance of some of the local
mem berr, go among the people and
secure new members for the Lodge.
Possibly he may convince some
whom the LEGAL members have fail
ed to reach.
But the true field for the organ
izer is the uncultivated one. To go
where the Order is unknown and
preach the gospel of fraternity and
protection. Plant new Lodges.
That is his mission.
A Lodge already well established
should contain the elements of
growth within itself Every Lodge
has some member who is known to
be u good solicitor Every member
may be able to do something in
this line. but some can do more
than others, make, therefore, the
best possible use OF the talent
that liee within your own Lodge.
OF course it is the duty Of every
member 10 work ior the uphuilding
of his Lodge and of the Order But
only Il few do their duty in thi- re-
spect.
Why not, then, stimulate fai,h-
full members to work for new ones
by offering Inducements? The la
borer is worthy of his hire II il is
right To- pay one man who devotes
all oi hi, time to building up the
Order, why not pay hinf who de.
votes u part of his time to the same
purpose, proportionAteIy? Offer
some inducement for bringing in
new members. Make it an object
for one to devote some time to so
doing.
Why should John Brown, who
never attends his Lodge; never says
u RbOu WOIN iOI WIG OiuC', HCNCi
solicited new member in his life,
depend upon John Smith, who at
tends regularly and works to build
mp the Order, TO all this for him
and allow him nothing for it?
There is nothing fair, nothing
equitable in such a proposition.
Tax the drones and pay the
workers. That is justice; that is
equity.
The stay.aways, do-nothings, are
as much benefited by the growth of
the Order as are the workers. Let
those who contribute no labor pay
those who labor for them.
Is not this a fair proposition?
If 80, try it in you Lodge and see
how il works. The A. o. u. W.

quarrel from his window. He watched the

TOWER OF LONDON.
A Visit to That Place of
GruesOme History.

After little walk through THE City, :"
As London's business center, old London, is
cslled-someone has aptly termed it The
Capital of London brushing against the
crowds of long-eoated, sillz-hatted young
Pendennisses and David CopPerfelds; we de-
cided to go TO the Tower The throng first
amused US, because we are accustomed TO
having our young men keep their long coats
and silk hats for afternoon promenades and
teas end for Sunday" Then we began to
watch FOR stories in the faces. But faseinat-
ing as are London's streets, a conscientious
sightseer feels the necessity of deyoting
little attention TO his guide books advice,
and so we chose tie Tower as the least of all
evils on that yellow day when the streets
amused rs SO.
To the Tower we went, and soon found our
selves deep in its memories. Even the most
sluggish OF minds must be moved to some in
ferest and remembrance of history by this old
castle and prison, which, perhaps. from the
DAYS of Julius Cesar, certainly from the time
when the bluff old Conqueror came TO London
town down almost until our own day, has
been the scene of some of the saddest pages of
English history, and even now has its daily
interest.

gems. Not to seem to indulge in sour grapes,
we thought that crown would prove uncom-
fortably heavy; however, Victoria does not
have to wear it often. There is the Queens
Consort's crown, the Prince of Wales circlet,
the Kings crown, and how many Others we
did not enumerate.
1t seems the "crown of England - is not
one blazing crown, as we always thought
but divided up, and even Victoria in all her
majesty may not wear the Kings crown,
which her son will don some fine day if she
will give him n chance. At present his is a
comparatively plain gold circlet, unieweled.
Then there are "Orbs" which the mon
arch carries to his browning in his right hand
and away from it in his left, or vice versa,
for some reason best known to the Romans,
who started this fashion when they ruled so
nightly. There are seepterS which are car
ried in the other hand, great gold fountain
for royal banquets, an expensive baptismal
font for royal babies, and Tower regalias of
royal orders without end. For pretty senti-
ment are the silver trumpets, which the
kind-faced. gray old Beefeater" told us
were only blown on coronation days, and III
another case is "Curtana," the pointless
sword of mercy, which on coronation days is
carried between two other fine swords. one
typical of spiritual, the other of temporal
Justice.

Anne, amid all Of her fears and tears, was
gentle enough to protest against the people
about her suffering imprisonment and death
on her account, but in those days they were
afraid of two or three persons having a
common liking or affection or hope or sorrow,
and her friends were sent heaven or hell

was the same with Queen Katharine Howard;
as a matter of course her best friend was
killed too. So Anne prayed in vain for her
brother and friends, but she did not fail to
pray for the soul of Henry Will, with her
last petitions for herself.
Queen Mary, of course, beheaded Protest
ants, and also brought her sister Elizabeth to
the Tower, so that Is years after Anne
Boleyn's imprisonment her daughter was
brought up the same steps from the Traitors
gate, protesting too that before God there was
no more faithful subject in England than
herself She protested with stouter heart
than did her mother before her, for she had
much of her father in her, and was not given
to submission and tears. In the years after
she came again to the Tower to go from there
to her coronation, and as she entered the
gates she dismOunted from her palfry, and in
loud voice thanked God for the miracle of her

began sending Jesuit priests to its walls,
while Protestants drew occasional long breaths
in their new liberty.
A curious glimpse into the history of the
short reign of Lady Jane Gray is that when
Mary decided to silence the Lady Jane Gray's
Protestant Outbursts for all time. She had the
little lady herself, her husband, her father-in-
law, her father-in-law's friends, and almost
everybody but the girl sown mother beheaded
The mother, although she had intrigued for
the coronation of her daughter, had held
before her all the temptations towards it that
worldly mother could conceive, after the
death of her child calmly turned around and
made herself pleasant to Mary, and lived at
| court very happily.
The Warder showed US the window where
Lady Jane sat waiting for her own execution
and saw them take out her husband to the
public execution place. The women were
generally executed in the Tower Green-the
men outside, where the populace could see.
She saw them lead her husband away, and
as she herself stepped toward the execution
block she saw across the court where they
were carrying back his lifeless body to the
little church burying-ground then she
yielded herself to the executiOner, who i'm
plored her pardon for the act he was about
to do, and In few minutes her life was
ended.
This little human glimpse of Jane at the
window watching her husband go out the
gate to death, while she waited within for
the messengers to announce the time for the
ending of her own days, was pathetic and
real. We cOnsoied ourselves with remem-
brance OF her last letters, wherein she
speaks of the feast of joy that she and her
husband would have in Heaven-her abso-
lutte certainty of the happiness that death
brings to the faithful
