An Interesting and Able Discourse
by Or. Horn Of Lamar.

The Supreme Tent, knights of
the Maccabees. having instituted a
Memorial Day the same was observ
ed by Rocky Ford Tent No. l2l Sun
day afternoon. The exercises were
presided over by j, H. Richardson,
commander The male quartet be
ing unable to he present the excer
cises were opened with the opening
ode of the Tent and prayer by Rev
Thos Andrew.
Dir. Horn was introduced by Com
msnder Richardson md made most
int s,esting address. He made a
plea for the brotherhood of man and
spoks of the value of frnternal in
surance. The order of the Macca
bees has been of great benefit to
mankind. A good man cannot take
the obligations of the order without
being a better man. The three card
inal principles of II faithful Macca-
bes are these: The deity is his light,
his country his love, and home his
heaven as far as earth is concerned.
The Golden Rule should govern the
conduct of every Maccabee The
peculiar value of fraternal obliga
tions in relieving distress was EN-
phasized The Maccabees are not
antagonistic to religion but the duties
of Tent membership tend to the
highest type of manhood. The
speaker trusted that all Maccabees
would so study the future that when
death came they could have the vel

Americans went ahead with their eX

you've pulled my ear or patted me Oh
the shoulder or poked me in the ribs.
Up
The remembrance that there had
been no shoulder patting or ear pulling
during all those long years brought a
fresh outburst of emotion, and for two
minutes Mrs. Gallup sobbed bitterly
Mr. Gallup laid down the milestone
and the sickle and picked up the paper
Of tacks and balanced it on the point
of his finger. but he was oblivious of
his surroundings.
IL don't complain, Samuel" said
Mrs Gallup when she could control her
voice again. when l saw that you
was no hand to pet, let it go. I'm old
and wrinkled and scrawny, and can't
look fur pettin. 1t will be different
with gal. however. If you don't pull
her ear at least once a week and call
her angel, she'll git sully and finally
run away with a tin peddler. Mrs.
Bebee was sayin that Bertha Williams
would make a good gal wife fur you,
and Mrs. Williams says that you could
not do better than to marry Mary
Hawkins. but amt goin to pick out
nobody fur you nor find fault with
your choice. All I'm goin to- do is to
die and become an angel and let you
do jest as you want to. I've got jest
one leetle favor to ask"
The lump in her throat and the tears
in her eyes checked her speech for
half minute. and during that time
Mr. Gallup put the tacks down and
lifted up the sickle again.
Its only this. Samuel You needn't
do DO weepin fur me when I'm gone
and you needn't hang over the gate
and try to look all broke up over my

set of cups and sassers last us since
we was married. That's all. Samuel.
and now I'll go in and die. and you kin
be lookin around fur your second
wife"
She rose up with a sob and reiterated
into the house, but Mr. Gallup knew
nothing of it. He hung the sickle on
a nail near the door, put the milestone
and tacks on shelf in the wood she'd
and then walked down the path and
closed the henhouse door and cast a
look into the pig pen. When he re-
turned to the house. Mrs. Gallup was

ELECTION DAY.
How It Came to Be Tuesday After
First Monday In November,

The designation of the day for hold
congress. The first act passed by 1t re-
lating to that subject was in 1902. It
provided that presidential electors
should be appointed within "a days
before the first Wednesday in Deem
ber." This left each state free to select
a day to suit itself within those limits.
Pennsylvania chose electors on the last
Friday in October. Other states elect
ed theirs on different days between the
beginning and middle of November.
When Harrison was elected in 1910,
the Democrats asserted that his sue
cess was due partly to fraudulent vot-
ing, which was made possible by the
lack of definite election day. It was
alleged that Kentucky and Ohio Wings
had voted in both states, the election
being held on different days. So in
1S45 the Democrats passed the law
now on the statute books making the
first Tuesday after the first Monday
election day.
At that time but five of the 26 states
had their elections in November. In
Michigan and Mississippi voting was
carried on through two days-the first
Monday and the following Tuesday.
New York had three election days-the
first Monday, Tuesday and Wednes-
day-but had finally confined voting to
the middle day, or the first Tuesday
after the first Monday. Massachusetts
chose state officers on the second Mon
day in November and Delaware on the
second Tuesday. So congress selected
the first Tuesday after the first Mon
day to consult the convenience Of three
states out Of five, one of the three be-
ing the important state of New York

SALT WATER BLOOD.
An OperSfion That Is the Saving o
Many Human Lives,

An OperStion That Is the Saving of
Many Human Lives,
TRANSMISSION Of blood Is procedure
that must have been employed by ply
sicians in very early times. Ovid tells
of Medea bringing back youth to the
aged by the injection into their veins
of the blood of young men, and doubt
less the same means was employed by
physicians for less fantastic objects
The injection of the blood of one per-
son into the veins of another was until
recently done to save life after severe
hemorrhage and in various forms of
blood poisoning. Sometimes a direct
communication was made between the
veins of the donor and of the recipient
by means of tube. At other times the
healthy subject was bled into a bowl
and the blood was beaten to remove
the fbrin before 1t was passed into the
blood vessels of the patient,
The procedure Is a dangerous one,
however, although many lives have
been saved by it, and 1t has now been
almost entirely abandoned, a much
safer plan being used.
1t is found that the blood when de-
ibrinated Is no longer a living fluid,
and the corpuscles it contains serve no
useful purpose when injected, but rath-
er act as foreign matter which must be
got rid Of. Accordingly physicians now
use distilled water in which a definite
proportion Of common salt and other
chlorides have been dissolved. This So
luton is warmed and is injected slow
ly into vein at the bend of the elbow,
about quart being used.
Often it is not even necessary to pour
the fluid into vein, but simply to in
ject 1t through one or more hollow
needles into the tissues beneath the
skin of the abdomen or the thigh.
This is done not only to supply an
equivalent for fluid lost in hemorrhage
or cholera, but also in certain diseases
In which blood poisoning exists. In
this latter case a large amount Of fluid
Is injected slowly. and being taken UP
by the blood is almost Immediately
excreted through the kidneys, carrying
with it much of the poison which the
blood was unable to rid itself of I'M
aided.
This operation has been felicitously
called 'blood washing" for this is
what it really is, and to the process hui
mainly owes the saving of many lives.

Value of . Familiar Face.


An employee of the Chicago Tribune
once found the fact that his face was
familiar to the late Joseph Medill de-
cidedly to dis advantage. In the last
years Of his life Mr.. Medill did not
spend much time In Chicago and took
no active part in the management of
his paper, but when he was in the city
he went to his office pretty regularly.
He knew all the old faces, but few of
the new ones, and 1t was too late in life
for him to accustom himself to them.
He never knew to whom to give copy"
that he wished printed If the managing
editor happened to be absent. On one
occasion he handed some to a repre-
sentative of another paper who chanc-
ed to be in the building. The man had
been employed on The Tribune some
years previously, so his face was IA
miliar to Mr.. Medill, while the faces of
the men then actually in his employ
were not

There are many good housekeepers
who are Indifferent In the matter Of
saving small coal and cinders. Unseen
waste goes on in most houses In this re-
spect. If housekeepers would make it
a point to see that all cinders and ashes
are thoroughly sifted daily, they would
be surprised at the fuel they would
save,
After the cinders have been removed
cold water should be poured over them.
This causes them to make much better
fuel when mixed with Goals. Better
and safer fires can be kept up in bed
rooms than with coal alone, safer be-
cause with cinders there is no danger
of sparks flying about.
The best kitchen fire is made by put
ting coal in front, banking up cinders
behind and then leaving the fire alone.

WHY HE LIKES MUSIC.
A Physician Whose Reputation ms
Critic Was Blasted,


There's physician in Baltimore who
adores music. His taste, to be sure,
runs rather to "Old Black Joe," "Su
wannee River" and such classics, but
still any sort Of music will do, and he
listens to 1t all ecstatlcally and with a
properly intelligent look on his face.
1t was therefore believed that he had
a fine taste for harmony, and his repu
tation as critic was established and
grew apace as regulations will. good or
bad.
The other evening as his daughter
approached the house In which this
physician lived she heard the strains
of "Home, Sweet Home" proceeding
from the library.
Fathers at it again." she said to
herself softly. 81 wonder who he has
coerced into playing for him noww
A glance disclosed the fact that he
had bribed three street musicians, two
violinists and harpist into giving
him a private recital. They finished
the air just as the young woman enter
ed, and the physician turned to her
with a beaming face. "That Nearer,
My God, to Me- is beautiful thing.
isn't itT he asked.
1t was the first time he had commit
ted himself on the subject of tunes"
and his glory began to diminish from
that moment, for his daughter told the
incident as what she considered an ex-
cellent joke.
Now the worthy man says that he
likes music solely as an incentive to
thought and listens to 1t when he wish
es to solve some knotty problem of ar
terry or bones. Just as those who suffer
from insomnia go to church and listen
to the sermon to be put to sleep.-Balti-
