When the werk of the degree
had been completed, the visitors
were escorted to banquet that
had been spread in Friedheim's
Hall. Twenty five tables had been
conveniently arranged, at each of
which were seated from six to
ten Knights, and sumptuous
spread, prepared by Mr.. j. N.
McElwee, was served by a com.
mittee of fifteen knights. Tho
scene was very beautiful one
when the two hundred knightly
knights took seats. Atthe signal
the Knights arose to man, when
Rev. w. f. Thayer invoked tho
blessing of Heaven on the assem-
hlage and the refreshments of
which they were about to- partake.
When dinner was over and cigars
had been reached, at the request
of the Chancellor Commander J.

and said:

He then proposed the following
as the only formal toast:
"The freemen of tho House of
York, remem beriog not The War
OF the Roses, extend greeting and
cordial fellowship to their peers
of the House of Lancaster.
He called upon DR.. w. A.
Presley. Chancellor Commander
of Oakland Lodge, t" respond.
He arose and spoke as follows in
easy manner and good voice:
'sThe differences of Lancaster
and York were settled more than
400 years ago when on the bloody
field of Bosworth Richard III of
York fell, and his crown, rolling
in the dust, seized and placed up
on the head of Henry Tudor, of
Lancaster.
"Slnce that time their rivalry,
Whenever it existed, has been a
peaceful one. Side by side, the

AL, glad TO Say, that whilst rivals

of us against tho other, such as
bsthed the soil of our old mother
England with fratricidal blood,

Eliz ,beth of York, thus merging
into the House Of Tudor the op-

Eastern shore of the Catawba and

other reasons, We feel that YOU

We are not strangers in strange
land, but that we arc in the House
of York, which is the house of

by times which tried mems souls

The Pittsburg Leader reports
that Mrs. A. III. Clahin, who is
one of the most active workers in
missionary interests in Allegheny,
Is of the opinion that it is wrong
to raise large sum of ransom
money to release Miss Stone, who
is being held by the Bulgarian
bandits. She says: elf we pay u
ransom of 800, 900 in this case,
how long will be before another
missionary will be seized and an
other ransom demanded! 1t is an
awful fate for Miss Stone, but
even if her death were certain she
is prepared for 1t and it would be
better than to invite tho same end
for all missionaries. =" There is
something in this view of course,
but the suggestion that Miss Stone
should be abandoned to death be-
cause she Is 'prepared for it" is
rather striking one. The ques-
ton is whether Mrs. CIaflin would
be as philosophical if she were in
Miss Stones place. The right plan
is to save the unfortunate lady's
life and then make it so warm for
the Williams that they and their
kind will lose all taste fer mission.

Sequel to a Joke.

The Herrmanns, the magicians,
have always been noted as practical
jokers. and the stories that have been
related of their adventures would fill
volumes of space in the newspapers.
That it does not always pay to perform
practical jokes on persons one may
meet, Leon Hermann, the prince of
magicians. is likely to find out to his
sorrow. 1t seems that last season
while the company were touring the
Western states, Leon had some fun
with Pullman car porter on one OF
the trips the company made over the
Northern Pacific railroad. The SEQUEL
to last seasons joke is just coming 70
light now. and it is not funny at all,
at least not from the Hermann stand
point. Leon had been asleep all night
in the Pullman and just at dawn, upon
awaking. he saw the porter getting
ready to leave the car. It was at lunch
station, and undoubtedly the darkey
was headed for cup Of coffee. As
be neared the door Herrnann.calledt to
him, and hastily leaving his berth,
followed the darkey to the door,
''Where are you going" he said.
''Just to get cup of Coffee was the
answer. ''That is all right" re-
marked Hermann. Il don't object
to your getting cup of coffee. but 1
do object to your leaving this car
with my watch in your pocket" and
suiting the action to the words, he
reached in the darkey's vest pocket
and pulled out his gold watch
s'That reminds me-" he said, s.my
rings are missing also," and again he
made a grab for the darkey's pocket
and brought forth number of dia
mond rings. The darkey was as
founded and his surprise was so great
he could only stammer forth .'For
the Lords sake, boss, how did those
things come in my pocket? Honor
bright, l never seed them before"
THAT will do" answered Hermann.
81 have had my eye on you for some
time and now 1 have caught you l
will see you don't rob anyone else. I
think will take my money, too,
which is missing" he continued, and
again the trip to the darkey's pocket
brought forth a roll OF bills. The
darkey, now thoroughly frightened,
gave one yell and dashed off the car.
When the train pulled out no darkey
appeared and the company were short
Pullman porter. Hermann laugh
Ingly explained the joke to the con-
ductor, who greatly enjoyed it, A
telegram was sent back to the sta
ton at which the darkey had left the
train, but he had disappeared. For
over year no tidings had been re-
ceived Of him. A few weeks ago at
