|. O. o. F. GRAND LODGE
Meets at Birth Place on Its Thirty
Fourth Anniversary

The annual Grand Lodge, l. O. O.
F. met at IanktOn last week and was
attended by about 500 delegates to the
various branches of the order. The
Iankton Press and DakOtan correctly
says: "There is much historic inter-
est attached to this gathering of odd
Fellows in the old Capitol City OF the
DakOtas. 1t was here that Odd Fell
lowship first saw the light in this sec
ton az on May %, 1870, the initial
lodge was started in this city. That
was thirty-fOur years ago, yet in to-
morrowS Grand Lodge will sit men
who have been in the harness since
that early day; men who have grown
gray some of them, in the service. 1t
is significant fact that these men,
who have borne the heat and toll OF the
day, are among the most enthusiastic
Odd Fellows of the present day, a
glowing tribute from men that know
its worth, paid to an order that is no
stranger in any part OF the civilized
world"
There was very little legislation at
this session. The order in all its
departments showed a healthy growth
and the odd Fellows Home fund is
now being pushed by the trustees.
The feature OF the occasion was the
splendid work done by the Rebekah
degree team.of Sioux Falls at Turner
hall Wednesday evening.
Redtield was chosen as the next
place for holding Grand Lodge.

fore the meet and it was supposed that
Brookings was to play Redteld but
Yankton protested on account of pro-

the game resulted in a victory for
Brookings with the following score: =

The Broekings students made no
demonstration over their victories and
conducted themselves in an orderly
manner.
The base ball team which has been
coached by Bert Tree during the spring
showed marked improvement and
played clean ball every minute.

the Brookings team will make the fast
ones go some next year. He is good

PIANO MADE WITH PINS.

Have you ever thought that you
would like to have a piano all your
own? Well, you can make one, but
it will be a pin piano. Get piece of
soft wood, pine is best, nine or ten
inches long, and half an inch thick.
It may be of any width over two
inches.
Now get a lot of ordinary pins of
different lengths, if possible. Draw
a line down the center of the piece
of wood from one end to the other
and drive the pins in the wood along
this line, being careful to have them
about quarter of an inch apart.
.. Drive some Of the smaller pins deep
into the wood, but drive the larger
ones only deep enough to have them
fixed firmly in place, having all at

ton of his to select from, the Scrip,
lures the sayings of the Savior, and
to put them together in a comprehen-.
sive and Systematic form. He consid-
cred that the Gospels contained much
extraneous matter, but that by careful
pruning there could be selected say
ings which were absolutely the words
of Jesus himself. This idea finally
took shape in what came to be known
as Jefferson's Bible--a work which he
had bound handsomely in red leather,
with the title Morals of Jesus
printed in gold letters on the back.
The work was begun at the White
House when Jefferson was president,
but at that time he did not carry it
very far. Having discussed with the
famous DR.. Priestley the teachings of
Jesus as compared with those of
Socrates, he wrote to him, saying:
"You are the person who, of all
others, would do it best and most
promptly. You have all the materials
at hand" This referred to a sugges-
ton which he had made to the effect
LnaC PrleStley could take up the task
which he had commenced
It was not until the winter of 1876
II that Jefferson himself finally car
ried out the design at Monticello. By
this time he had abandoned his
original idea, which was to make a
book Of the life and teachings of the
Savior for the use of the Indians, who
would be likely to understand it more
easily than the Bible on account of
its greater simplicity, and had decided
to compose the volume for his own
private entertainment and instruction.
He used four languages in order that
he might have the texts side by side,
convenient for comparison. The maps
were for incidental study, showing
the places which the Savior visited.

Ex-Justice Julius M. Mayer is very
fond OF things that come out of the

to indulge his tastes in one of the
well-known restaurants there. Afte,

at all?" he demanded.
"Only eggs, SIR" replied the waiter.

Inv Inv. The first definite statement of Jet
ferson's purpose to prepare, such
work is contained in a letter written
I a century ago in which he speaks OF
having obtained from Philadelphia
two Greek and two English Tesla
m'ents, the same editions, with a de-
sign to cut ont the morsels of morality
and paste them on the leaves of a
book" On April 10, 1903, he wrote
to Edward y:Dowse that he considered
the moral precepts of Jesus more
pure, correct and sublime than those
Of the ancient philosophers"
On April 81, 1903, he wrote to DR..
Benjamin Rush an estimate of the
merits of the doctrines of Jesus 1t
was intended for DR.. Rush's private
consideration and was accompanied
by few lines in which the writer
said: I'm contiding it to you I know
it will not be exposed to the malig-
nant perversions of those who make
every word from me a text for new
Misrepresentation and calumnies. l
am, moreover, averse to the communi-
cation Of my religious tenets to the
public, because it would counteance
the presumption of those who have en-
deavored to draw them before that
tribunal"
In 1895 the. precious volume became
the property of the National Museum
by purchase from Miss Randolph, a
granddaughter of Jefferson. But dur
ing the first session of the Fifty-sev-
enth Congress bill was passed or
dering that the work be printed and
that 5000 copies be issued for sena-
tors and representatives.

of it's origin and history.-New York

Many Smoke; Few Know How To,

"d"y StuONC, re" mo" TO" O.
Its really remarkable, considering
the 12,000,00O,0OO cigars smoked in the
United States every year, how few
men really know how to smoke said
prominent tobacco dealer. There is
one mistake in particular that even ex-
perienced smokers sometimes make.
That is in not keeping the tobacco
burning properly.
About 80 per cent, should say. of
all the cigars sold are better on the
outside than the inside. This isn't
wholly to deceive the prospective buy
er; it requires good quality of leaf
to shape the outside Of cigar, while
the filler may be more readily COM
posed OF inferior tobacco. The smoker
who permits his cigar to burn inside
the wrapper loses the best part of it..
Practically any cigar is rank when
smoked through the center. The
aroma is lost and the smoke is bitter
and acrid.
Putting on cigar that is not burn.
ing properly only increases the diff
Guilty. The smoker gets more of the
smoke of the inside leaves, and the
whole cigar becomes hot from the ef-
fects of the increased combustion in
the center of it. The proper thing. the
only thing to do under the circum.
stances, is to light the cigar again,
taking care that wrapper and all are
included in the lighting. If this plan
were followed a good many smokers
wouldn't change their brand of cigars
80 often"

The elderly man stood on the rear

softly, but audibly, at intervals. Occa-

his head and wipe the beads of per-
spiration from his brow.
Finally the conductor became SYM
pathetic and asked him what the
trouble was.
Eliminating the dark-blue oaths, he

Hidden TeIegrams.

In this game you are to imagine
you have a distant friend with whom
you have an understanding about an
expected message. It might be that
there are two or three contestants
for a certain prize of honor. The
name of one might be Jenkins, that of
another Harrison, and that of the
third Sheldon. Suppose Jenkins is
the successful contestant, and that
you wish to telegraph to your friend
simply the name of Jenkins. How
ever, you wish to conceal the message
as much as possible, so that the un-
derstanding is that the first letters of
the words you telegraph will spell the
name.
With this explanation each player
sets to work to write a clever SEN
tence in which the first letters will
spell Jenkins. The various players
may get sentences like these:
Judge Engles never knew I noticed
Sally.
Julia's elbow next knocked Irish
Norah silly.
Jack expects no kiss in Nova SEQ
tia.
Jam eating nearly killed Ikey Ma
than Saturday.
1t is impossible that there will be
any two alike, and the game is to
see who can write the cleverest:
The kilograms are read aloud and
the players vote to see whose is best.

The Baby Turtle,


Turtles, you know, lay their eggs
in the sand and let the sun hatch them
out. They do not lay them all in one
place, prof badly because they think it
safe to scatter them. Then, even
though one be stolen or broken, the
others may escape. The mother tur-
tie covers them all carefully up, one
after another, with a thin ,sprinkling
of sand, and then apparently never
gives them another thought, consid-
ering her maternal duty done. Ger
tain it is that she has never been dis
covered going near these egg babies
again, and when they hatch at last the
tiny. soft-backed creatures at once be-
gin crawling aroud in search of flies
and other food as independently as if
there were no such thing as mother
in the world. A little girl who found
one of these odd, oblong eggs on a
sandy river bank in Louisiana took it
home and put it in a teacdp on the
table for safekeeping. A few hours
later slight noise was noticed in
that direction, and on looking in the
cup she found a baby turtle, full
fledged," but tiny, scrambling about
among the bits of it's. broken eggshell
cradle.

knees, and each holding his left ankle
with his right hand, and his right an
kle with his left hand. This is a
very difficult position. to keep. At a
given signal the turtles start for a
goal a short distance away.
1t is the object of the game for the
turtles to waddle to the goal and
back to the starting point without re-
moving their hands from their feet.
Many let go before the proper mo-
ment, the others shout dead TURTLE"
and keep on, leaving their unfortu
nate companion in the background.
The rules of the game demand that he
wait there until the first successful
racer reaches him on his way back,
and touches him with his elbow, by
which he is supposed to instill new
life into the poor dead turtle. The
latter Immediately starts out again,
and finishes in the best style he can.
AS there are always several dead tur-
ties, he is never lonely in his effort
to succeed. The winner is, of course,
the one who returns to the starting
place first.

In some respects the book will be
surprise. 1t contains, for one thing,
none of those knocking comments"
which the author of the Declaration
was said to have interlineated with
the sacred text. There is, in fact, only
one written comment apart from the
index, and that is merely an editorial
note in Latin. The title page and
index are in Jefferson's own hand, the
former reading as follows:
LIFE AND MORALS
JESUS OF NAZARETH,
Extracted Textually from the Gospels
in
Greek, Latin, French and English.
The index, on a couple of blank
pages at the beginning of the book
is headed: "A Table of the Texts from
the Evangelists employed in this mar,
rative and of the order of their ar
rangement." It consists of references
to different books of the four Gospels,
with brief topical description at
tached to each. This is followed by
two folded maps of Palestine and
Asia Minor, evidently cut out of some
book. to serve as illustrations, and
then come the numbered leaves, on
which are pasted clippings from the
Scriptures, arranged in the order
Mr.. Jefferson thought most suitable
and effective.

Deaths in French Armv.

During the years from 1882 to
1901 the French army lost $1,000 men
by illness, while in Germany the cor

largely in the effort to keep the army
Of France, whose population is 10000

being that many recruits are accepted
