the captain general. He filled that position
for about twenty-five years. He was in
of the -commandery in its contest
for a prize at the %triennial conclave of the
Grand Encampment at Cleveland in 1877,
and was successful in carrying off the sec
ond prize. In 1880 he was in command of
the ~commandery when 1t captured the first
prize at Chicago, and he was also in COM
mand at San Francisco in 1883 when the
~commandery captured the second prize.
No other contests have taken place since
that time. but Colonel Ruckle never lost
interest in the work of the commandery,
and, as one of his friends said of him,
Paper Commandery was always the apple
OF his eye.
Members of Colonel Ruckle's old regi-
ment, the Eleventh Indiana, will attend
the funeral in a body and will meet at 100
O'Clock this afternoon in the lobby of the
Hotel English. The Indianapolis Light In
fantry will also attend.

CoLORED ODD FELLOWS
Celebrate the Anniversary of Estab-
lishment of the Order.

TIL ffty-seventh anniversary of the es-
t~ablishment of the Grand United Order of
Odd Fellows in America (colored) was cele-
brated yesterday by the lodges throughout
the country, and all of the local organiza-
tons appropriately participated in the serv-
ices. The celebration opened with a pa
rade from the Colored Odd Fellows Hall,
on Indiana avenue, through the principal
downtown streets TO the Second Baptist
Church, on West Michigan street.
The parade was headed by the Uniformed
Rank, under command of Capt. j. M. Por-
ter, and following were about five hum
dred members of the South Side Lodge,
the o. p. Morton Lodge. the Garrett Smith
Lodge and the Lincoln Union, which was
the first local lodge. At the church the
line was broken to permit the Household
of Ruth lodges Nos. 1924, 6l2 and "a, and the
Juvenile Lodge, No. II, to take places,
after which the members marched into the
church for the services.
After a short musical programme Major
Gardner delivered an address, in which he
reviewed the history of the order. He pre-
scented many statistics, showing the or
ganization of the first lodge in New York
in 1913. Since then there have been estab-
lished 4,793 lodges, 1,H1 Household of Ruth
branches, 22 past grand master councils
and los juvenile lodges. The membership
numbers about SOC, 600. Lincoln Union was
established about twenty-four years ago,
and the local membership of all the lodges
Is now about 400. About 300 women belong
to the Household branches. The church
was crowded and the lower portion was
filled with women who were unable to gain
admission to the upper room. The thanks
giving sermon was preached by e Mr..
Newton

fed in waging war upon the Beers. s. G,

affirmative, and will be opposed by G. l.
Jones and colleagues, of the Garrett Smith
Lodge.

'sWell, if man goes into literature he must
expect his pay in something besides dollars
and cents" remarked Chicago novelist as
he stroked his blond imperial.
Eyes, that's so, said a second, a big man
who writes western stories and delights to
have himself photographed in picturesque
felt hat and an overcoat with cape to it.
Now, for my Prairie Yarns the best I
could do was S25, 900, and they haggled over
that as if it had been an amateurish per-
Torrance"
"They treat me the same way" said the
little blond man, who has trick of holding
his head on one side. "Now for my Sky
scraper'-magni6cent piece of Chicago color,
with Mrs. Seymour-Seymour in it, and the
Snobs murder case, and all that, West side
and North side and all that-what do you
suppose got for that? A beggarly S35 900,
and 1 was silly enough to take it down and
let the royalty &c"
They looked at each other narrowly. The
man who writes Prairie Yarns" said he
must be going. As the elevator descended
with him swiftly he muttered:
"You never can tell one SO big that that
prig won't 60 you one better"
The little blond man laid his throbbing
forehead in his hand and unused: ct takes
something more than the author of PRAIRIE

OKLAHOMA'S WOMEN.
4 New Yorker Returns with a Story
of Smart One from His
Own State.

A New York grain man went down to
Oklahoma last month and brought back
a choice collection of territory stories.
1.-The thing that impressed me most,
outside of the grain business" he said,
was the practical ability of the WON
Ell down there. I've heard great deal
about the clever business women here
in New York, but 1 never happened to
come in contact with any of them. In
Oklahoma about half my business was
done with the women. You see, when
that country was opened up, hundreds
of women ran for claims, got them, cul-
tivated them and are working them to-
day. A woman who can do that sort of
thing is bound to have hard horse
sense, if she hasn't culture, and what
those women don't know about running
farms isn't worth reporting to the de-
partment of agriculture. Most of them
are northern women; and, by the way,
the sharpest piece of business practice
1 heard of was worked by girl from
western New York. She wasn't down
there at the time of the run; but her
brother-in-law staked claim down
near Guthrie, and, after awhile, the
New YorEgirl went to visit her sister.
"Youns women were scarce around
that part of the country, but young
men were as plentiful as blackberries
in June. There was young fellow on
each quarter section of land, for miles
around. The New York girl wasn't so
very young, but she was fairly good
looking; and, after she had been there
week, there was usually long line of
cow ponies hitched to the brother-in-
laws front fence, and the girl was hav-
ing the time of her life. She made up
her mind she'd like to live in Okla
homa, and some 20 or 80 young men
made up their minds they'd like to have
her live in Okla homa.
1.-THE two finest farms in the country
were about five miles from her brother
in-law's, and lay side by side. There
were living springs on them and some
shade, and the two owners were fine
young fellows and were making things
hum. They both fell in love with the
girl, and she liked both. In fact, she
couldn't make up her mind which she
liked the better; and she was so pleased
with both the farms that she felt as
if she couldn't give up either of them.
Divorce is easy in Oklahoma, but they
have scruples about bigamy; so she
had to figure the problem out some
way or other.
Now, just listen while tell you how
she did it. One of the men was q
sooner That is, he had been hidden
inside the lines, before the time when
the government opened the country
for the rush. No one could prove it
against him; but, of course, he had
no legal right to his claim; and, if the
title could be disproved, some one else
could stake the land. In burst of con.
fidence, one evening, he told the girl
all about his experience as a sooner.
Then she made up her mind. She
wheedled him into repeating the story
before witnesses, disproved his claim,
nabbed it herself and married the young
man next door. Now they are running
both farms in pleasantness and peace.
How's that for business enterprise
