A Worthy Tribufe.

Mrs. B. 3. Lord, past lecturer Of the
New York state grange, pays q very
worthy tribute to the work done by
Miss Hall in the early days of the
Order. Mrs. Lord says that when the
dark clouds of encouragement and de-
preston settled heavily upon our
Brother Kelley in his pioneer work she
it was who upheld his hands, giving Of
her time and means freely and, above
all, putting her very soul into the work,
toiling in season and out of season,
early and late, writing songs for the
Order and attending to the details of
Office work, cheering and encouraging,
doing the thousand and one nameless
things that help to buoy up the sink
ing ship, thus carrying the work over
the shoals until success finally perched
upon their banner. The time has come
when her seed sowing has brought its
harvest Of golden sheaves, and the ed
dying current of her influence has been
felt in every movement for woman's
advancement. Hers was a brave soul,
and l only voice the sentiments Of
thousands of women who gladly rem
der thanks to the Great Master that
she has been permitted to live to wit
ness the results of her labor"

"a certain cadi Of Bagdad had beer
In his youth fisherman, and, to keep
himself in mind of his humble origin
there was always spread upon his din
ner table huge fishing net.
people admired the cadi for this
exhibition of humility. He was rich
and his house was sumptuous. But
amid all that elegance, the net, the
sign Of the mans lowly birth, was al
ways prominently displayed.
THE story of the net spread through
the city and finally reached the ears OF
the caliph. He, in due time, sent fol-
the cadi, took him into his favor and
made him his grand vizier.
Thus said Haroun nj Raschid, we
reward humility
''From the day of his appointment
the grand vizier ceased to exhibit his
fishing net 1t disappeared, and it was
never spoken Of.
"Once, though, q visitor, man of con
siderable impudence, said to the vizer
"'Why is it, my lord, that your ne

A. Queer People.

Herr Eberhard van Schkopp, who ex-
plor1l the interior of the Kameruns
distlect in western Africa, gave an in
teresting account of the native tribe
called the Bakoko. They are, he
thought, of Semitic origin and, having
lived in the Kameruns district only
about 200 years, are called strangers
by other natives. They govern by
means of council of elders" whose
duty it is to judge offenders guilty or
guiltless. If guiltless they are set free.
If guilty they are put to death, this
being the only form Of punishment
known there.
According TO the gravity of the
crime, the manner of execution varies
and may be simple" or complicated"
Simple" execution means being
thrown to the crocodiles. "Complicat-
ed" execution consists Of being fas-
tened to tree and left to be eaten by
casual visitors, such as lions and tigers,
or being tortured until death comes.
Cannibalism is practiced by the Ba-
kokos, not because they especially care
for the favor of the meat, but because
they feel that by eating every particle
of an enemy they are subjecting him to
the greatest indignity conceivable.

addressed to Arson Bartlett of Ohio
he made the first investment for the
national grange, and six and a half
years later he had deposited in the
Farmers Loan and Trust company in
New York $4,000 and there was not
cent of debt. If $4,000 Of that
amount had been invested in Wash
ington property which Mr.. Kelley said
was offered to them at that time, it
would today be worth $275,000. From

0O0 subordinate oranges have received
charters, surprising any other organi-
cation ever established in this or any
other country" At various times there
were nearly 1900 deputies ut work in
the field. The first years work Of or
ganizing resulted in ten subordinate
oranges. Compare that record" he
continued, with that of two days in
February, 1874, when we received 1G5
applications each day, with $15 dis
pensation fee with each application, or
total of S2,475 per day" In closing
the speaker said lone last word of
advice. Don't permit our Order to
be made an incubator for Matching

raise brood of chickens that will play
havoc with the flower garden"

1t would almost seem as if nature re-
sents any departure from the original
mode Of progression. When men rode
much they developed bow legs and a
jockey walk. When they took to the
bicycle they put on the cycling hump
and grew elongated feet. When the mo-
tor came in it modified the bicycle
hump and gave us a lesser stoop, a
craned neck and the motor glare.
If you will have q man well set up,
normally developed and erect, as Prov
idence intended him to be, you must
bring him up on walking exercise not,
of course, the dawdling SLOUGH of the
lazy loafer, but the spirited walk of the
healthy human who treads the earth as
if he owned it. Here you have at hand
one means Of avoiding some of the
penalties of progress.-London Taller.

An Ancient Highland Custom.

In the western highlands of Scotland
an ancient custom suggestive of the
pre-Christian days is still in force.
When child is born all the old women
Of the neighborhood meet in the house
and place straw rope around the
child's neck. At the same time they
chant curious charm, which is sup
posed to ward Off fairies and evil spir-
its. So great an Importance do the in
habitants attach to this ceremony that
they believe it would be a tempting
Of Providence" to neglect it. When any
one dies the relatives dig the grave,
taking the greatest possible care to re-
move every stone from the mold.
Stones in the grave interfere, it is said,
with the rest Of the dead. Also they
are particular to cut the turf which is
to cover the mound in one piece, as
otherwise they believe water would get
into the grave and make the body I'M
comfortable.

Mrs. Yorke, wife of the dean of Wor-
cester, once described an incident of
her acquaintance with Thackeray. She
happened, she said, to be sitting one
evening between Thackeray and Jacob
Omnium, whose build was even more
gigantic than Thackeray's own. Con-
versation, from some cause unknown,
was languishing, when Thackeray turn
ed to her and said, Mrs. YOrke, why are
you so silent?" II am overwhelmed
by the greatness of you two" she re-
piled, glancing right and left at their
massive frames. Thereupon, moved by.
common impulse, Thackeray and Jacob
slid from their chairs and sat on the
ground at her feet, "as slight token
Of homage to one whose wit equaled
her beauty"

Alleged Origin of "Uncle SAM,

A curious version of the origin Of
Uncle Sam" has been discovered in
an old almanac published in Lesang-
ton, Ky, in 1914. The phrase is ex-
planned in the following words: I'm
Gle Sam is cant phrase significant
Of the United States, as John Bull is
significant of England. The origin of
it seems to be this: In the year 1907
there was authorized by law the rails
ing Of a regiment of light dragons.
When the company first appeared their
caps bore the letters u. S. l.. d., sig
nifying the United States Light ORA
goons. A countryman, seeing the COM
pany in dress parade, asked bystand-
err what the letters stood for. Why
was the answer, that means Uncle

the use of the term has become gen.
eral."-London Chronicle.

High Thinking and Old Age.

That mental power helps to keep the
body strong and to preserve it from
decay cannot be doubted. The longest
lived men and women have been, as a
rule, those who have attained great
mental and moral development. They
have lived on higher plane than 9TH
er men, in a serene upper region, above
the jar, tumult and fret that weaken
most lives. 1t was at the age of sew
enty-five that the Count de Tressan
recomposed his old chivalric romances
and wrote history Of the progress Of
the human mind. Herbert Spencer,
one Of the deepest thinkers and hard
est workers Of his day, passed away
at the age Of eighty -three.-William
Matthews in Saturday Evening Post.

Excess md Deficiency.

Error and evil are located in deficien-
cy or excess. Even excess in virtue is
evil. an excess of humility being alb
jectness; of courage, rashness; of pru-
dence, cowardice; of patience, indiffer-
ence; of economy, paIsimony; of gener-
osity, waste; of Difference, obsequious-
ness. And so also an excess of learn
ing is pedantry; Of ease, Incidence; Of
comfort, self indulgence; of zeal, ia
naticism. Right and justice are found
in moderation, in the golden mean, in
the true balance. between OVERRIDING
and underdoing, going too fast and too
slow.-From Balance: The Fundamen-
