X. OF p. Dec. 6, 1904.
II L. with unusual sadness that We
record the death of our beloved
brother, /. Il. Minis, who succumb-
nd TO the grim monster on Novem-
Der 25th. after a short bun heroic
fight. This tribute must not be con-
strued as doing justice To this good
man. We knew him and are better
able to Judge of his noble qualities
than the outside world. Bro. Minis
was never 50 happy as when engaged
in assisting and uplifting his fellow
man. He was quiet and unassum-
ing, but bold and fearless in uphold
ing the true principles of Knight
hood. He loved the story of Damon
and Pythias, and was enthusiastic
i'm the PRONUNCIATION of the princi-
pies of our great order. We truly
mourn our great loss. The query
with Us all is, how shall We fill his
place?
To his family, with whom there
existed such mutual tenderness and
affection. we offer our most pro-
found coincidence. and in this dark
hour would point to Him who can
bring good out of all the happenings
in this uncertain world.

The merciless reaper has again en-
tered our forest and claimed for his
victim one of our most faithful and
LOYAL co-workers, for in Sovereign L.
b. Minis we all recognized frater-
nal heart unexcelled in any camp in
existence.
His departure is the more shock
ing for the reason that il was 80 sud
den. We regarded him as one of
the most robust of our craft and had
planned much work for him in the
noble cause he loved so well.
We speak but the truth when We
say that he was among the foremost
in every effort put forth for the good
of his fellow-man. His sincerity of
purpose drew Us all close to him.
His place will remain untitled.
To his devoted family we extend
our most profound sympathy in the
great loss of this tender husband,
father and friend.
We shall ever cherish the memory
of this true spirit and pray that the
Divine Hand may guide and pro-
tect those he loved so we'll.

Gunpowder Bags.
ciC.y.

1t is possible to weave Il very attrac-
tive fabric-as regards appearances, at
least-Out of ordinary GunpOwder. The
cloth looks very much like silk and
when iSnited instantly disappears with
out leaving a trace behind.
The fabric is used for making bags to
hold gunpowder, which in this shape
are loaded into big guns. When the
bags are of canvas, as is customary,
they are not consumed by the explo-
sion. and what remains of them after
firing has to be removed from the pow
der chamber of the weapon. But if
gunpowder bags be substituted for can
vas the sack actually becomes part of
the explosive charge. and no trace of it
is left after the shot has sped.

KING IN DROLL DILEMMA.
Both Hands Full When Edward VII.
Had to OHcr One to the Queen.

Both Hands Full when Edward VII.
Had to Offer One to the Queen.
1t is seldom that King Edward is
embarrassed. but there was q moment
when he was clearly disconnected at
the close of the recent ceremony of
opening parliament in London, says
the New York Herald.
The king read his speech, of course,
seated, with his hattie plumed hat
of a field marshal-on his head. When
the reading was over all he had to do
was to remove his hat, offer his hand
to the queen and conduct her from the
house. But there came the difficulty.
The king was left with his hat in his
right hand and the parchment on
which his speech was engrOssed in his
left He looked from one hand to the
other, then at the queen, and trans
ferred the hat to the left hand. But
this only left the right, the wrong one,
diSengaged.
Grasping his hat again with his
right, his majesty made a desperate at
tempt to stuff the roll OF parchment in
to it. The attempt proved unsucess-
full. however and at last in despair he
up the roll as small as pos
sible and offered the queen two fingers.
