observe Lodge Memorial Day.

Sunday was the annual memorial
day for the K. P. lodge and they cele-
brated it in good shape despite the
bad weather. In the morning they
took a special train and went to Rus
sell where they decorated the graves
Of their deceased members in the Rus
sell cemetery. Returning they met in
Castle hall and marched to the Baptist
church where Rev. o. E. Douglass, of
Oakley, preached very scholarly and
eloquent sermon. 1t was q clean out,
forcible talk, full of good common
sense and gospel truths and especially
appropriate for the occasion. After
the sermon despite the muddy condi-
ton of the roads they marched to the
Charlton cemetery where they deco.
rated the graves of the deceased mem.
bers buried in the Charlton cemetery.
About $50 members of the local lodge
took part in the exercises.

"Henry X"


It is interesting to recall that. Just
as Edward VII Of England chose his
second baptismal name as the one by
which be wished to be designated
when he mounted the throne. so like
wise his great-uncle. William Henry.
would have preferred to be known as
Henry IN. One of the reasons for this
preference was the desire to establish
lawful right to a title which had al
ready been arrogated By the cardinal
Of York. the last Of the Stuart pre-
tenders. When the question. however.
came up for discussion in the privy
council. the latter decided in favor of
King william Nv. This story was told
by the king himself to Miss Helen
Lloyd. the governess of his children.
lie added that the privy council was
moved to this choice partly by fear of
exciting the superstitious fears of the
populace. who still bore in their men,

teenth century, which runs as follows:

Book Hunters Worry.
The worry Of finding that q book IL
incomplete is often to be expected.
Often most respectable looking books
have page missing somewhere. One
cannot trust even folio that has been
connected with religious houses all it's
life. 1t may be invincibly bound in the
strongest calf; it may have passed all
it's quiet, unread days behind glass and
be rs clean as on the day on which it
was issued. and yet page 341 may have
vanished.
We once knew q man who had a firm
belief in the devil and for this reason:
He said that he could hardly count the
imperfect books by which he had been
misled In his time. and in nearly every
case these books had highly respect
able past. They had A.own mellow in
monasteries or had been carefully tend
ed in great libraries, where they were
never touched except to be busted. 1t
seemed morally impossible that harm
could have come to these books. and
yet each one had page missing some
where. Therefore he was reluctantly
forced to the conclusion that the devil
was in it. He supposed that when the
devil was in need Of more quotations
he distracted page from some little
read hook. choosing It both in order
that he might obtain u reputation for
wisdom and also that he might not be
found out.
We do not uphold this theory. but we
do recommend the book hunter. SO far
as possible. to collate every book Of
any Importance which he may con-

Twenty Lost Gold Min...


There are at least 20 lost gold mines
in various parts of the world. Many
Of them have yielded rich ores and
then have been deserted and entirely
lost.
There is one in the north Of the
Transvaal. for instance. that was dis
covered by accident in the eighties by
two Englishmen. The finders had en-
camped one night and had. as they
thought. securely tethered their horses
when they suddenly heard loud neigh
from one of the animals and moment
later saw them both racing away up
parently in the greatest terror.
Soon after dawn they were up and
after an hours tramp found one of the
poor beasts lying on the ground with q
broken leg. In its struggles it had
kicked up the ground and had exposed
rich gold quartz only a few inches be.
low the surface.
The two men marked the spot and
returned to the district a month later
spite of all their efforts they could not
find the place. and to this day the mine
has not been rediscOvered.
In the late seventies there was ire
mendous excitement in California
when a prospector described a golC
mine he had found. A party soon pre-
pared to set out. with the discoverer Of
the mine as guide. but the mine has
never been discovered, though thou
sands of dollars have been spent in
prospecting for it.-Stray Stories.
