Damon lodge, Knights of Pythias,
which owns a valuable lot on Third
street, between Grand avenue and
Garfield street, has instructed its
trustees to look after the proposed
building of a lodge room by the lodge,
and the report of the investigation
made by these officers will be sub
mitted at the next meeting of the
lodge.
The matter was discussed at a con-
ference of members of the lodge a
night or two ago, and the sentiment
was unanimous that the building be
undertaken. The lot is a large one,
givin plenty of room for a magnificent
structure, to meet all the present needs
of the lodge and for years to come.
1t was proposed and accepted by a
large majority of the members at the
conference that the building be two
stories high, fronting On Third street
and extending back almost to the al
ley between DR.. Swigart's Office and
the John Grover place. The second
story will be used for lodge purposes
and will embrace a hall to be used by
the four Pythian bodies in the city
Damon lodge, the endowment section,
the uniform rank and the Rathbone
Sisters. Connected with the lodge
room will be suitable ante-rooms, pro
perty rooms n a reception oom to
be used by parties waiting to gain ad-
mission to the floor of the hall. These
rooms, it is planned, will be fitted up
in modern lodge style, SO that all the
accessories of successful secret work
will be at hand.
The ground floor will embrace a hall
to be used for dancing, lectures, cor
certs and the like, with dressing
rooms. and p~arlors, and perhaps a
banquet room along the rear portion of
rooms. The hall, it is estimated, can
be made to comfortably seat $50 peo.
pie, and will be used to accommodate
crowds too large for the North Star
hall and not large enough to justify
the use of the M~aennerchor hall. 1t
will be used for an occasional dance
by clubs and private parties.
The accessibility of the proposed
hall would be a great feature. as many
dc not care to walk to the university
to hear a concert or lecture, and some
do not care to go as far as the North
Star hall that would go to this hall.
The lot is one of the most desirable
in the city, and it is believed other Sc
cret orders will be glad to occupy the
hall if it is built. The report of the
trustees will be watched with some
interest by the members of Damon
lodge and the allied bodies.

Glory hasn't any credit at the bank.
The %contented man is usually played
for a sucker.
1dleness is tie postgraduate course
Of worthlessness.
A song in the heart is better than a
chorus in the stomach.
Beware of the man with a griev.
ance. He may make good.
Even the comparatively sober have
no objection to the gold cure.
1t Is the good done without thought
Of reward that usually gets it.
People who take no thought Of the
future take little of the present.
There are degrees of evil.doing, but
none of them are worth taking.
A man carries his memory in his
pocket when there Is little else there.
It is easy to forget a slight-when
It is the other fellow that is sighted.
The discharge of every duty to-day
increases the opportunities Of tomor-
row.
When a man loses all faith in hu-
mAnity he may be said to be at the
end Of his journey.
One may not sing and yet have mu-
sic in his soul. The most Of the songs
Of life are unsung.
The world loves an optimist. Even

No one can add to the general fund
Of enjoyment by simply decrying the
efforts of his fellow men.

of the nation is that it has been plebeian

glorious name-naton.

II,


III tne royal palace.
The two gentlemen-the spiritual and the
worldly-who are assigned to me know as
little what to do with me as l with them.
Both have historical names, but their
names have nothing to do with the casa.
Their bearers are not individuals, but
charges-court charges!
Since recently / have my own court, and
I reside in the Oldest part of the palace,
the so-called princes wing. The palace
dates back to the fifteenth century and is
historical from cellar to roof
Everything around me is historical.
Historical are the irregular court yards,
the gloomy corridors. the wide Railways,
the desolate rooms. Throughout the gray
monumental building every, arabesquH;
every water jet, is historical. Historical
are the faded frescoes, the yellowing tap
estries. the blackenng panelings. the shad
owy ancestral portraits; historical are the
furnishings the table services, the silver;
historical the moths the dust, the atmoS-
phere. Great historical memories move at
midday through the whole house. Even
from the walls there streams history.
In such surroundings dwells my young
old Princely /, and broods over the fly on
the wall, which, of course, is historical
too. The two gentlemen assigned to me
have too much to do with the past to know
anything certain about the present. /
cannot even tnterrogate my old valet, since
he luXurates exclusively in the gioIious
knowledge that his father, grandfather and
great-grandfather poured eau de cologne
over the most noble pocket handkerchefs
of royal highness in the princes wing.
And my young lackey wears the historical
livery with a dignity that forbids every
condescending confidence.
How do l live?
By the clock l am awakened, attend

the clock l hear the lectures OF many pro-
feSsors, the psychology of peoples, national
economy, domestic history, world history,
military science, other sciences By the

crown prince, receive this and that one,
during which time l listen to this and that

I drive, practice myself in fencing, shoot

the clock, dinner.

The body and soul.

1t is an ever increasing pity that the
average doctor who tries to heal the
body cares nothing for the soul. On
the other hand. the parson who tries
to heal the soul cares nothing for the
body. The body and soul cannot be
separated in such manner. The dis
eases that afilict the body also affect
the soul, and vice versa. No one who Is
ignorant OF the laws that govern either
the soul or the body is fit to attempt
to heal the diseases OF either the one
or the other.
