the still, small voice of the moral phil
osopher; many care charmed to sleep
by sweet words of sympathy. AS l
said before, our desire is that our mem
bers shall exemplify in their daily lives
the principles taught them within the
lodge room. If in your daily inter-
course with them you shall find them
friendly, generous and faithful, patient
yet tender and true, accept it as proof
that they have received a grander view
of life, more comprehensive idea of
it's duties and responsibilities, and have
been benefited by what they have
learned.
Fraternity is the fair flower of our
civilization; it is beacon light, a star
of hope, guiding the people to the glor
les of grander day, shedding a glory
over humanity, illumining the world
that now is, even to the far off shores
of the setting sun.
"When fraternity shall rule mankind,
then the sword shall hang on the wall
in inocuous desuetude, its mission no
longer to pierce the warm and palpitat-
ing heart of human beings. Then will
dawn that blessed day dreamed of by
the poet, when the war drum throbs
no longer, and the battle flags are furl-
ed, in the parliament of man, the fed
Grafton of the world.

A spring here and a gear
there; and loaded down with
a lot of inventions, most
people say, "That must be a
good engine. Well, they
buy it. In a little while, to
keep 1t going, they COM

more time and money spent
the more she gets out of

if they had only bought a

Alexandria, Mimi, Nov 26:-We
have been taking little "fyero thru

an eyeopener'.' to notice how the land
men are beginning to sit up and take
notice. and realize that they have the
best country in the northwest for the
homeseeker and investor. There. is
something "doing' all along the line
and there seems to be determination
by all interests to make Minnesota IS
resources and advantages well known to
the desirable homeseeker during the
next few months. One Of the strong
"bunch' Of desirable properties in this
section of the state is the firm Of Ull..
man 8 Levy at Alexandria, MINI. and
they certainly are doing a great. work
for Douglas county We had a nice in
terview with Mr.. Ullman,1 who is the
"right sort' and can more than make
good on any proposition he may offer.
Mr.. Ullman said:
tsDouglas county, Minnesota, lies 9
n Of t. the stsfe Of ST.
and Minneapolis and in the heart OF
what is known as the park region.
This is naturally hardwood timber
country broken frequently by gently un,
dulating tracts Of fine prairie lands and
splendid meadows.
'H1The county is dotted with numer..
GUS lakes of pure, clear water and
ranging in size from a few acres to six
and eight miles in length and three to
four in width. The Great Northern
railroad crosses the county from east
to west and the new 500 Line from
north to south, and another branch OF
the 500 Line cuts across the southwest
corner of the county.
"We have the best Of markets, ship,
ping facilities, educational and In fact
every advantage and condition that
stands for a good home. Any energetic
