He would reproduce in his mind the MANN
script just as 1t had been written. so thar
wherever 1t was blotted he would hav,
difficulty In remembering it. Most of us
have this power to some slight degree, ana
II may be cultivated. One of the SIMPLEST
methods of strengthening the memory in
this line is to endeavor to recall what we
have seen during a walk through the

Some people seem to be entirely without
this power of mental photography and the
following story is sometimes used in class
rooms a test: The story relates that
when Napoleon was visiting one of the mil

bedside of an old soldier who had lost both
an arm and a leg. The old soldier in an
ecstasy of loyalty sprang from the bed aad
drawing his sword cut off with a single
blow his one remaining arm.

would see its absurdity at once. but a per-

rousing send-off by their brother knights.
I: consisted of Emil G. Schafer, chairman
John A. Harvey, Past Commander VIM. F.

have ripe experience in making past con-
claves successful in behalf of De Molay
they intend establishing new record at
Louisville. They intend to secure for the
use of the commandery the best accommo-
datiOns Louisville affords and the best rid
ing horses obtainable in the great horse
state.

| chairman, having made the trip some time

While no concerted action has yet been
agreed on, little doubt is felt that the

ccnclave following that in Louisville held
