DAUGHTER OF REBECCA HONORED.
Degree of ChivaIry Conferred Upon
Her by Odd Fellows.
Philadelphia Press.

PnlldQelpnld HTeSS.
The first woman to have the degree OF
chivalry conferred upon her by the secret
order of Odd Fellows is Mrs. Sarah Miles
Hanna, of Kansas City, Mo-, and the event
marks an era in the history of the Odd
Fellows fraternity.
Mrs. Hanna is one of the earliest MEM
bers of the Daughters of Rebekah, for she
had the degree conferred upon her on March
IL, 1856, at Rock Island, Ill. She was a reg
ularly constituted member of the order
long before that
In point of fact Mrs. Hanna has been an
Odd Fellow in good and regular standing
for over fifty years. For the last fifteen
years she has never missed a meeting Of
the order and she does not intend to miss
long as she lives. She says she will
attend lodge meetings even though she
had to be carried there In a chair.
After the Sovereign Grand Lodge of the
Independent Order OF Odd Fellows con-
ferred the degree of chivalry upon her Mrs.
Hanna continued to fill the chair of the
grand chaplain of the assembly, as she had
been doing for the past fifteen years.
Her career in the mystic order of the Odd
Fellows is somewhat remarkable, and it is
one to which no other member of her sex
may ever hope to attain Mrs. Hanna has
grown UP with the Odd Fellows and since
girlhood has devoted her life to this one
throughout the West and Southwest. She
has been called upon to organize and re-
construct assemblies in every part of the
Union and the names of the lodges which
she has stood sponsor for would constitute
a fair-sized directory.
Schuyler Colfax, who was an intimate
friend of the husband of Mrs. Hanna, was
the founder of the Rebekah degree, and as
soon as this auxiliary to the great body
was formed her real duties began. Regu-
larly every month Mrs. Hanna was sent
from town TO town and from State to State
10 confer the degree upon other sister wom-
en-. 1t was considered a most wonderful in
novation when a woman raised TO the
dignity of worthy chaplain. But that honor
dwndles into insignifcance beside the
more elevated degree of chivalry.
The Sovereign Grand Lodge of which
Mrs. Hanna is member is one of the old
est lodges of Odd Fellows in the country

Mrs. Coulter voted for the Hon. Reed

Did she do right in doing so? That was the
question which Miss Leyter was discussing,
when something snapped, dropped and

Discovery came comparatively quickly.
"Our get-up was perfect" the explorer re-
marks sadly, "but in this mysterious land
1t seems that everything is known" One
dark night they were suddenly bounced
upon by Thibetans, all armed to the teeth,
who assured them that if they attempted
to resist they would be slaughtered. Says
the traveller: "Thirty-seven guards were
put around my tent and there was a per-
feet network of bonfres at night to pre-
vent any effort at escape"
The explorers were pretty decently treat
ed, however. and after five days of captiv
ity released, with a warning not to try
again to enter Lhassa.
Notwithstanding. DIR. Hedin did have an
other try for the Forbidden City. He trav

but was soon taken prisoner by company
of cavalry, numbering over five hundred.
This time says the Swedish traveller, II
did not look for any mercy but again my
treatment left nothing to be desired" He
was released, but followed by a strong
force to prevent a third attempt on his
part But the doctor had decided to quit.
Il am quite sure he says, that 1t is i'm
possible for a European to penetrate to
Lhassa, even in disguise"
Ii was soon after these happenings that
the explorer set his face toward the west
and started on his long journey back to
civilization.

ator of New York. We are all
chronic monologuists, instructive monop-
oliStS OF talk. Few, among men, are the
martyrs who can bring themselves to lis
ten; yet how common are such martyrs
among women. You hear Mr.. Gump or
Mr.. Sumph, pressing, droning, driveling
away illimitably. You can escape him, per-
haps. At the worst you kill him and
be acquitted by jury Of your countrymen.
But think of Mrs. Gump and Mrs. Sumph.
By Harpocrates and all other gods of ST.
lence, think of that! Think of laughing,
year in and year out, at the same narrow
less old jokes, of hearing the same tedious
old pointless stories; erroneous reminis-
cences, cheap wisdom, stale reflections.
Think of living for years and years with
that human telephone, that relentless
monograph In CATERS and bald head.
Some day we are going to write our Book
of Martyrs There will be no man in it.
1t will record a few among the innumer-
able wives, the patient Grizzels who listen
and smile patiently and pretend not to
n0tlce-may the amiable deceit have due
recompense in heaven!-that their hus-
bands are leaky, sloppy, drooling, everlast-
ing takers and yawpers.
After long ages of silence and suppress
sion, the woman folks have found their
tongues. They do little talking on their
own account. Some of them have clubs.
Some of them speak from platforms and
pulpits, much as the imperial intellects in
trousers and whiskers do. Mark, however.
the more merciful nature feminine. Women
are always dragged to hear men spout.
MOST or the woman talk is made In feml-
nine adyta to which men are not admitted.
The women don't force us TO go and hear
EN-. Their powers of speech don't injure
us. Their eloquence doesn't interfere with
our own. Sherwood Forest in is greenest
days never held so many stays as there
will be stag" dinners tonight; and Robin
Hood and all the rest of his merry men
never blew so many horns as men will blow
tonight and every night in celebration of
themselves. Yet a girl in Utah dares to
make a speech at a womens club and at
once the mythmakers plunge her into
maxillary wreck and hold her up as a
warning and horrible example to her sis
tiers.
We have seen few cases of dislocation
of the jaw in our time, and every one was
caused by yawning caused by eight days-a-
week, never-run-down, experimentation
male takers or orators.

The Departure of Youth.

There are gains for all our losses
There are balms for all our pain,
But when youth. the dream departs,
IL takes something from our hearts,
And il never comes again.
We are stronger and are better,
Under manhood's sterner reign:
still we feel that something sweet
Followed youth with flying feet,
And will never come again.
Something beautiful Is vanished.
And we sigh for IL in vain;
We behold IL everywhere,
on the earth and in the air.
But IL never comes again,
Richard Henry stoddard.

Intention.

I ask not what he did, but what he meant;
Not of his deeds. but of his good intent,
And grant him praise for what he failed to do.
If his impotent motives prove but true.
