at noon today, after installing officers,
to meet the third week in next Sep
tember at Baltimore, Md. A resolution
was introduced, but defeated, request
ing the ODD Fellows and people OF
Baltimore not to make arrangements
for program and features of entertain
ment for the body. The sentiment OF
the lodge seems veering rapidly to the
idea that the sessions of the supreme
body of the order should be wholly
for the transaction Of business This
sentiment has developed in Des Moines
because the session here has been filled
with entertainments of one sort and

Thoughtless Husbands.

Men are too prone to take things for
granted. The loving, cherry little
mother who never let's you see pout
on her lips, who meets you as you
come from work with a smile that
hides her loneliness, is entitled to just
as much consideration to-day as she
was in the months before the wedding.
To imagine that now she doesn't care
to hear you tell her you love her, as
you were 80 pleased and proud to tell
her before you took her away from the
old home, is to commit fatal blum
der. Look into her eyes, man, and
see the love light shining there! Why,
lnan, she'd die before she'd let you
know her heart was withering. She'd
die before she'd tell you she remem-
bers the dsys you forgot to kiss her
before you went down town. She'd
die before she d murmur because Of
your continual fault finding. Some
day you'll remember all those things
yourself. They seem very trivial to
you now. But wait until you stand
gazing into her casket where lies :he
mother of your children.

Whiskers VS.. Skates.

Senator Bacon of Georgia is clean
shsven and bald headed. Once when
young man he wore long, flowing
side-whiskers. When the roller-skat-
ing craze Of fifteen or twenty years ago
struck Georgia, Bacon was the crack
skater of his town. One night he was
out on the floor of the rink making
fancy figures, when two amateurs,
hand in hand, bore DOVE on him. He
tried to get. out Of the way, but
couldn't.
The two skaters bumped into the
embryo senator. One caught hold Of
his whiske.. on one side and the other
took a grip on the other side. Yelling
with pain, Bacon tried to shake them
off, but thoy clung until all three went
to the floor together.
Bacon got up, took off his skates,
went home and shaved. Since that
time he hasn't worn either skate or
whisker. Washington Correspond

lightning Reds.

The present state of science 10 such
that no man can tell whether a light
ming rod does more good than harm or
more harm than good. 1t is likely
that if the rod is big enough and suf-
ficiently we'll grounded, and the light
ming fash is simed directly at one's g
house, that some part Of it, or possibly
all OF it, may go to the ground over
the lightning rod. This is all that
can be said. If house has q tin roof
it is reasonably safe anyhow. If 1t
has steel frame construction or is
full OF water pipes it is still safer. If
it is frame house with shingle roof
you can secure entire safety for it by
building copper house outside of it.
This, we believe, is the only absolute
ly efficient lightning protection.
The whole matter Of lightning rods
was conceived in ignorance and has
been exploited in folly. It is not now
believed that the ordinary lightning
rod does any good, or on the contrary,
that it does any particular harm. In
sulators will not help it nor will they
harm il. II We were living in your
house we would rather not have the

Forty odd years ago-in 1887 to be

In the year mentioned he caught q
severe colo, that rapidly developed in
to quick consumption. His mcthcr

me; he had the best doctors we could
find. the disease seemed slightly check
ed at times, but the terrible coughing
and blood raising continued, his
strength dwindled away, until one day
the doctor announced he could not
possibly live out two weeks. From
that time devoted myself princip pally
to him; l had ideas Of my own and
felt justified in using them when the
doctors gave him up. I believed in
fresh air, nourishing food, and counter
irritation. bathed him every night
and morning, with each bath I rubbed
with q towel-his breast and back,
covering the lungs, until tiny blood
drops oozed through the skin, my rule
was to rub until these drops followed

"a man with the highest reputation
kept up an interest in the case; he
continually warned me not to sleep
with the patient, said I could not pos-
sibly escape death from the same dis
ease; he finally ordered me to stop it.
AS the boy would surely die if some
one didn't turn him over, and as I had
practically taken charge, and he was
slowly gaining, I took the chances,
and continued acting according to my
own judgment. The doctor gave
good advice as to diet, which We fol-

POSTMASTER TOO HONEST.
Gould Have Advanced His office and Increased His Pay by a Small
 Investment.

ST noticed,'' said an old resident of Chicago, according to the Tribune, ''the recent story of the Nebraska post master who bought goods, and stock, and lands with stamps to such an ex- tent that his office went into another classification and his salary was raised several hundred dollars year.
 That reminds me of another post master out in Missouri who didn't know half as much, and who, without any increase in salary, had to buy drinks for half the town just. after he failed to rise to an occasion.
 .'It was under the first Cleveland administration. The post office had been in the fourth class all it's life, and as there had never been any pub lie stir about putting it into any other class the new postmaster sat down on his job and sold stamps at current rates, making the usual set dement's and thankful for small fa- vorS.
 ''But in the third year of his in squirt, and when it came to final settlement for the year the receipts showed that the fourth-class office had sold things mucilaginous to within $3.S5 of the $a,0oO limit, mak- ing it third-class office.
 ''And, don't you know, Smith turned in the proceeds of that last quarter without a thought of buying that $3.s5 worth of Is, 3's and 5's neces- . Sary to make his office of the third class for whole year"

DREAM CAME TRUE.

Engineer Hollister Finds Crack in En-
 zine Bed at Pope's.
 Engineer Roswell Hollister of the American Cycle N- -anufacturing Con- pany, Hartford, had some trouble With the engine early last week and the matter rested on his mind. He dream ed; Tuesday night, that the trouble was due to crack in the engine bed. lie was at first disposed to pay no atten- tion to the intimation from beyond the world of consciousness, but on Thurs day he examined the heavy piece of least iron which constitutes the bed piece. He found a slight crack, at first scarcely discernable through the paint. MT Hollister has had strip of half- inch boiler iron bolted over the crack. In 1891 James Wiley, an engineer, had a somewhat similar dream. While in slumberland he was informed that there was to be an accident. He paid little attention to the matter. The next day the piston rod broke near the cross-head, taking the cylinder head with it. The flying metal crashed through the wall and landed in the backyard.

PRESENT VOLCANIC ACTIVITY.
Regions of the Western Hemisphere That Are the Most Liable to
 an Upheaya1

The active volcanic groups of the western hemisphere occur in five widely separated regions, says Prof Robert T. Hill, in Century.
 1. The Andean group of volcanoes of the equatorial region of western South America.
 2. The chain of some 25 great cin- der cones which stretch east and west across the south end of the Mexican plateau.
 8. The Central American group, with it's 31 active craters, extending diagonally across the western ends of the east and west folds of the Car ibbean corrugations, fringing the Pa cific side of Guatemala, San Salvador and Costa Rica. This is seperated from the Mexican group on the north by a large nonvolcanic area, the isth- mus of Tehuantepec, and on the south from the Andean volcanoes by the isthmus of Panama, where no ac- tive volcanoes are found.
 4. The chain of volcanoes of the Windward islands, marking the east ern gate of the Caribbean sea, stand ing in line directly across the east ern termini of the Caribbean noun tains, trending east and west, and parallel to the Central American group similarly situated at their western termini.
 5. The volcanoes of Alaska and the Aleutian islands.

THE CORPSE AND PARROT.
Combination Too Much for Express
 Messenger.

There was a new and very much scared express messenger aboard the Gilt Edge express when it arrived in New London one day this week. In the express car was a corpse, packed in ice, which had been placed in the car in New York city en route for Boston
 The conn was at one end of the ear with big lot of express matter piled in front of it. As the train was pulling out of Stamford the agent was horrl- fled to hear a voice coming from be- hind the pile of baggage The messen- ger listened and in a moment these words came from behind the baggage: ''Let me out; water! waterw
 That was all the messenger needed; he did not know whether to pull the bell rope to stop the train or to open the side door and jump. When the cry "Wateri waterr' came again he de clared to himself that it would be his last run with a corpse. Then he real ized that it was not just the thing to let fellow who had come to life be in cracked ice, freezing to death. He de- cided to help the person in the coffin, but not alone. He called the conductor and three brakemen and they pulled over the baggage to get to the coffin. When it was reached the messenger was pretty nervous aDout opening the casket. He put his ear to the head end of the box and in words that had to go around a big lump in his throat, he asked: Are you there?" There was no answer, but there was shriIl whistle which seemed to come from beneath the casket and which caused the trainmen's blood to run cold. One of them made break out of the car.
 The conductor espied cone shaped piece of express matter lying near the head of the coffin and wrapped in brown paper. He kicked it and there followed a series of screams and crles that left him alone. for the messenger and remaining brakemen made for the next car. The conductor gave the brown paper. a jab with his finger and tore out three cornered piece, show ing big gray parrot beneath. The conductor looked at the tag upon the case which was covered by brown paper. It read: Mrs c. H. Ames, S77s Marlborough street Boston; value $75.''
 The train crew all got cups of coffee for their nerves at the depot restaurant when New London was reached. and the messenger had four cups before he really smiled

THE NEW ANDREE STORY.

The new story about the fate of An dree may be true in substance, but it is we'll to note at once that in one im- portant detail it is certainly incorrect. It is to the effect that the balloon land ed in the Northwest British Territory. that gun was accidentally dis charged, that Eskimos who had watched it's descent regarded the dis charge of the gun as an act of hostil- 1ty and promptly mastered the three members of the party, and that this oc- cured two years ago. This last is 'anifest error The Andree bal II started July II, 1897 It cer- tain.y came down somewhere that summer, and was not cruising about three years later, as this story has it.
 Ever since that summer of 1897 stories have come at intervals that the balloon came down somewhere in the great northwest Sometimes they have been specific and sometimes gen. eral, but their continuance is at least a suggestion that the descent did oc- cur there; that the balloon or the men or b oth were seen by some of the Es- kfmos, and that vague stories passed from one to another are the real foun- dation for the persistency of the re- port that the expedition came 10 it's end somewhere in that part of the world. News travels fast and mys- teriously in some of these wild regions but it is likely to be very vague and very inaccurate. The earlier reports attracted enough attention to induce the Canadian government to offer re- ward for definite information 1t is possible that this reward has some thing to do wit5. the story which has now been told with considerable par ticularity, and which professes to come from gentleman who was present and who is known as .'Old Huskie''
 If the bSGoCn really descended as described (assuming the date to be merely an error) it must have travelled distance of about 5000 miles. No balloon has done anything like that before. but it is not absolutely incon- ceivasle that this one may have ac- complished that feat.
 The only thing certain at present in regard to this story is that it is safe to wait for confirmation and not safe to accept t off-hand. d.-Hartford Times.
