| IN MASONIC CIRCLES.
 Last Friday evening was an impor-
 tant night in Rising Sun lodge, No. 27, F. & A. M. Work in the M. M.
 degree was exempliied, followed by
 the installation of officers for the year ensuing, as follows: William H. Fou- lois, W. M.; Edward H. Beardsley, s. w.; George N. Schmiedel, J. w.; Henry T. Cady, s. D.; Lester Harvey, J. D.; Ezra A. Hull, T. On account of the absence of the secretary-elect,
 Edward G. Clark, and treasurer, Rob- ert J. Watts, with the stewards ap- pointed, their installation had to be deferred to future communication. After the installation the lodge was called to part with it's former chap lain, Rev Percy G. H. Robinson, who has resigned as rector of St Johns church at Washington and has accept ed a call to Bad AK, Mich. The lodge was 10th to part with one who has rendered so much aid as he has since he was admitted five years ago, but re- ceived the best wishes of all members in his new parish work and experience. We omitted to mention that Deputy Sheriff Frank G. Kilborn acted as deputy G. M. and Samuel H. Clark as grand marshall, during the initiatOry exercises. The entire pro- gram took till past the hour of mid night to conclude, and Rising Sun lodge, No. 27, starts another year un- der .brighter auspices than might be imagined. It's membership certainly desire most prosperous 12 months to come

Herman Frisch has sued Bertha
Frisch for divorce on the ground of
desertion. Their married life was
brief but stormy. They were welded
at Yonkefs, N. Y, on February IA,
1899, but the patron saint of lovers
did not smile on the union. Three
weeks after the knot was tied she
knocked him out of bed, he says, add

or keep house for him. At the end Of
three months she left him.
Extreme cruelty and neglect are as
signed as reasons for the desire of Eff

Bert A. Tanning, an employe of the

$120 a month. In her complaint, filed

rious acts of cruelty, which, she says,
have made "the marriage relation a
mockery and a farce" She declares
that Tanning gave way to violent pas

had deposited no money In the bank
since the last collection of dues and
fines. Corresponding Secretary A A.
Won Hovenberg, David Barron. financial
secretary, and Trustees A. Nelson and
c. A. Wescott investigated Wadham's
accounts and Friday night called spe-
cial meeting. Wadham was told to pro-
duce his books and deliver the money
over to the officers of the lodge. Wad-
ham, according to the officers, left the
room to get the books and did not re-
appear.
Yesterday morning the four above
named officials called on the alleged
embezzler and demanded that he pro-
duce the money. Wadham told them
that it was in a safe deposit. He was
taken to the bank that he mentioned
but the money was not there. He then
mentioned several other places where
he had the money. but when the places
were visited it was found that Wad-
ham had lied. The officers say that he
then admitted having used the money
in his linen company.

Mistakes?

"I don't care to meet the man
7uko has never made a mistake,
for such an iHfalhbIe individual
has likely never made anything
else"
So Says H McCaulay.
Ever think about it? It's
Just as true of stores as it is
of men.
Ever notice the store that
didn't make mistakes7 Isn't "Not
making mistakes" the biggest
mistake they ever made? Aren't
they slow, and poly, and in
rut? Do you find the new things
there? The late styles; the things
you want? Do you get quick
delivery, prompt, eager services
Think it over.
Then think of the Hale
store. The bounding, eager
life it is filed with; think of the
quantities of new goods that are
coming in every day. Think Of
the deliveries, the quick tele-
phone service, the satisfaction you
get here.
Did you ever think that it is
through mistakes that this store
is what il is to-day? That its
mistakes are making it better
every day?
Mistakes corrected" That's
the story. We couldn't do
without them. Unless we dropped
into a sluggish, old-fashioned way
of doing things.
And we aren't going back a
bit. Watch the way we've grown
this last year. The road will
probably be just as full of mis-
takes as that we've left behind,
but not the same ones. Well cor
rect them all. Every one we cor
rect means a better store for you.
Keep your eyes on Hale's.
