Which at one period threatened to be
followed by fatal consequences to the
greater portion of the scattered popu-

this state the advance guard of mod

The men who then took partin the gall
liant effort to withstand the savage tide
which beat so violently on the defend

rest Some of them, however, survive
without having experienced even the
slightest public recognition of the in
valuable service which they rendered
to humanity by their self sacrificing
heroism. The pioneers of '62 did no
more than their duty; but the dutv
was such as to try to their inmost
souls those who discharged it.
The memory of the defense of Fort
Ridgeley still survives in the breasts of
many brave men who participated in
most stirring pages in the story of the
conquest Of the Northwest by the
peaceful forces of advancing civiIiza
ton and progress. Society was then
absolutely at the mercy of the bands
OF rowing and bloody savages that
logged the white pioneers footsteps
Familiarity with danger had bred con-
tempt and Indifference of it. Not until
the Indians stalked in murderous ar
ray to their very thresholds did the
people wake up to the danger that
confronted them. Then all dependence
rested for the time on the few devoted
men who had rushed at once for refuge
and the defense of their kind to the
poor shelter of Fort RidgeIey.
When the invading savages had bean
peaten back, the people of the entire
state could for the first time feel the
fulI measure of security for their lives
and property which had been bestowed
upon them. Had the few devoted men

We who today live surrounded by all
the blessings of peace and prosperity
take little note of the sacrifices or the
neroism which marked the lives of
those who preceded us. 1t is only whom

PYTHIANS REFUSE TO
AMEND SUPREME STATUTES
outsrowth of the Kennedy Hinsey
Cases-TribunaI Reduced.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Aug. 49,
The attention of the supreme lodge of
the Knights of Pythias was taken up
today principally with the considera-
ton of a proposition to amend the
supreme statutes of the order so that
no member who has been acquitted of
charge by the subordinate lodge. in
which he holds membership, can be
held before the supreme tribunal for a
rehearing of the case. The question
involved the sovereignty of subordin-
ate lodges. The proposition was de-
feated by a vote of SO to 48. The mat
ter was the outgrowth of the Kennedy
Hinsey cases.
A statute was adopted reducing the
supreme tribunal from five members to
three. The present body is to be dis
solved and a new one appointed at the
close Of the session.

Methods of Informing Their

The ancient road signs of the Ro-
many, the "patteran," takes the place

an" is a little, carefully arranged pile
of sticks, grass or stones, placed at
cross roads, where none but a gypsy

but Romany could read il; but TO him
il is rs plain as the MONDAY sun, and
by it-a succession of such wavside
tokens-one family or company can
follow others who may be days ahead
of them for hundreds Of miles, says
Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly.
Though the gypsy has uses for other
methods Of communicat ion besides the
mysterious "patteran." he is not a let

his own immediate family circle: the
closest "inlaws" do not travel together
unless perfectly congenial or unless it
