can hardly be attributed to any of the

favors for commercial travellers as a
class; to elevate the moral and social
standing of the members
Because st. Paul is the center of great
industrial activity; because its commerce
touches all parts of the world, and its
manufacturers and jobbers represent all
the different branches of industry, it is
natural that knights of the grip should
be found here in large numbers.
Interests of every kind are dependent
upon him. The manufacturer with his
thousands of employees could only for a
short time furnish employment if UNI
able to sell the product of his labor.
The mechanic, artisan, machinist and Ia
berer, all realize how dependent they are
upon him and the remarkable advance
nent in commercial prosperity may be
attributed to no other source than the
untiring zeal and perseverance of the
travelling salesman.

more commercial travellers than any city
of its size in the Union, and it was
here that the members of the profession

teed, in case of death, sufficient fund
to pay funeral expenses.
No knight of the grip has ever been
accused of a lack of gallantry. But
why some new woman may perhaps
ask, "has it's organization no woman
auxiliary? Why, it will not even admit
women drummers into it's organization
But it is just because the travelling man
is naturally gallant that he dislikes to
meet the other sex competing with him
on the road. And it is also just because
he is gallant-at least this is his ex-
planation-that he is unwilling that his
wife or sister should undertake the bur-
den of forming an auxiliary. IAN aux

after the social requirements of brother

after these social affairs, does it not
take a great load off the shoulders of
the other sex, and don't they have just
as good time?" And it is true that at

ton meetings the wives, sisters and 9TH

So much for the organization itself.
It's objects are numerous, but the most
important of these was the establishment
of an Indemnity fund to provide for total
disability or death resulting from acct
dent, for the knight of the Grip has
been we'll named. He is continually on
the road, risking the accidents of the
railways; the hardships of Northern win
tiers, and the thousand and one perils
that beset the traveller. But while the
indemnity fund was the chief purpose
of the organization, other objects were
not lost sight of. To be social, helpful,
fraternal, and to elevate the morals of
the profession are objects of only second

particularly interested in. This council
is one of the largest in the grand juris-
diction, numbering $50 members. It's ten
ets-and these are the tenets of the whole
order-are unity, charity and temperance.
Its objects and purposes, as expressed in
it's constitution, are first, to unite fra
ternally all commercial travellers of good
moral character; to give all moral and
material aid in its power to its members
and those dependent upon them; also to
assist the widows and orphans of de-
ceased members; to establish an "fndem-

ST. ANDREWS GOLF LINKS.

Stands st. Andrews where she stood?
We hope the question may not sound inn
pious. Far be it from us to cast a stone
at the most sacred shrine of golf, yet
even the glance of the devotee is not
wholly blind. and as each year goes by
he cannot fail to note, with whatever
feelings he may have, the changing fash
ion Of the times.
About twenty-five years ago golfing
poet wrote:
st. Andrews, they say that thy glories
are gone,
That thy streets are deserted, thy castles
o'erthfown.
If thy glories be gone, they are only me-
thinks
AS it were by enchantment, transferred
to thy links.
And during the past quarter of CEN
tury anyone who dared to question the
supremacy of the Fifeshire links over
all others only convicted himself, in the
eyes of the faithful, of an unusual
amount of contunacious ignorance But
of late there have been signs and por-
tents in the golfing armament. and there
appears to be some danger of the Glories
of St. Andrews being transferred even
from her links, not by a process of en-
chantment, but OF disenchantment.
American and foreign golfers who have
been drawn to st. Andrews by the CLAM
or of her name and story have returned
whence they came sadly disappointed.
Her world famed hazards have i'll stood

er's garden has failed to impress, While
the putting greens were no better tnan
anywhere else. But one item answered
eXpectat tones. and that was Old Tom
Morris, the ever young. For a time the
voice of outside criticism was silencsd by
authoritative disquisitions on the perfect
length and distribution of the holes but
other courses spring up no less scientific
ally laid out and with greater natural
adVantag eS, and now, alas, we have the
amateur champion him1elf backing up
the American champion in ignoring the
merits of the classic green! t
Any attempts to dethrone st. Andrews
from her pride of place as a first class
course may be dismissed with the .cailrk
that comparing the scores recorded ever
it by first class players with those re-
quired by the same players elsewhere, the
old green, is probably just as good n test
of golf under modern conditions aS Il
was under the old. But it would be futile
to deny that the other amenities Of the
place have been sadly damaged.

tages to be derived by mutual co-opera-
ton and the necessity for an organiza-
ton. Since it's organization in 1893, the
Sanity City council has made wonder
full progress. Many of it's officers are also
prominent in the grand jurisdiction. It's
members are men that st. Paul is proud
to point to as it's representative citizens.
The present officers are: Senior Coun-
selor, George S. Wiseman; Junior coun-
selor, Frank w. Baer; past counselor, Fl.
r. Kittle; secretary and treasurer, j. M,
Dresser; conductor, Henry c. Capser;
page H. E. Newton; sentinel, William
Swift.
Mr.. Dresser is also grand secretary of
tho grand Jurisdiction, and one of the
best known men in the entire orsaniza-
ton. He has marked executive ability,
which has been recognized, not only by
the grand jurisdiction, but by
the supreme council as we'll Mr. Dresser
is now serving his fourth term as secre-
tary of the grand jurisdiction of Mime
sofa, the Dakotas and Manitoba, and it
is understood that his tenure will be
continued indefinitely. His reports, rec
ords and recommendations have always
been able, accurate and wise. Mr.
Dresser is one of twenty who constitute
the charter membership of the local
council. To G. W. Rodgers, one of the
past senior ceunseiors, belongs the
proud distinction of having obtained more
members for his council than all the
other members together. At the grand
council session held in Duluth In 1900 he
was elected grand sentinel, and at the
grand session council held at Fargo,
May, 1901, ne was elected grand page. Ger

ASTs oN INCONSISTENCIES

Not long ago a French explorer, NJ.
Charles Nielsen, in travelling through
Siam, observed a species of small gray
ants which were new to him.
These ants were much engaged in trav-
cling; they lived in damp places and went
in troops.
To his surprise, he noticed among them
from time to time an occasional ant
which was much larger than the rest
and moved at a much swifter rate and
each of these large ants. Monsieur Meissen
saw, always carried one of the gray ants
on his back. This discovery led him TO
watch their movements closely.
He soon saw that while the main body
of gray ants were always on foot. they
were accompanied by at least one Of
their own sort mounted on one of these
larger ants. He mounted and detached
himself now and then from the line rode
rapidly TO the head. came swiftly back to
the rear, and seemed to be the command
er of the expedition.
The explorer was satisfied from his OBJ
servation that this species Of ant en-
pIoys a larger ant-possibly drone of
the same species, though he had no
means of proving this-as we employ
| horses to ride upon; though scarcely
more than one ant in each colony seems
to be provided with mount.
It is known that some ants maintain
others in, their service as servants OF
