Mrs. Kent Settled The Shortage ).


The Kansas grand lodge, L o. o. F.,
n session at Pittsburg last week, dis
posed of the shortage of Iex-Secretary
D. W. Kent. Within the past month
Mrs. Kent, who was anxious to clear
up the charges against, her husband,
decided to the grand lodge an s0-acre
farm near Hutchinson, upon, which
there are 1000 young apple trees,
valued at ST, 5000, receiving therefor
cancellation of all Indebtedness to
the grand lodge. This body also dis
missed suit now in court against the
surety company, brought to collect
the amount of Kent's bond. This
land came into the possession of Mrs.
Kent through the death of relative
ta9 Aent owned no part in it. She
also borrowed $500 on a suburban
property near Hutchinson to clear a
mortgage on the farm, so she could
give a clear deed. Her only stipula-
ton was that the grand lodge lease
the farm to her for five years at an
annual rental of $3.50, with the priv
aege of purchasing the property by
The payment to the grand lodge Of
all Indebtedness against her husband,
which amounts to about $4,000. A
resolution was adopted giving to the

from this farm, and If the property
is sold at the price named, the money
is to go into the odd fellows or

WHY LEAVES CHANGE COLOR.
Changes in Temperature and the
Work of Jack Frost Are the
Principal Agents.

A leaf is composed of a great num-
Der of cells, the walls of which are
brown. In the spring and summer
these cells are all filed with fluid, col
Ored with minute grains of red, yellow
and other pigments, which, mixed to-
gether, appear green. In the autumn,
through the cold, oxidation and other
changes take place in the leaf-cells,
destroying more or less rapidly certain
of the color elements, says the Wom-
ans Home Companion. As soon a s one
of these elements is gone the leaf no
longer appears normal green, but as
sumes the shade of the remainder of
the color elements mixed together.
When only the red element is left the
leaf is red; when the yellow alone re-
mains, the leaf is yellow, and when all
the coloring matter is gone the leaf is
brown.
