Keith Parlor Of this city on the even
ing Of April 10 listened to the first Of q
series Of lectures that have been ar
ranged for the members and visitors.
These are to be along historical lines
of the State, and this was the first of
the kind ever listened to by the mem
bership of any parlor in San Francisco.
The lecturer was Major e. A. Sherman
of the Sloat Monument Association,
who spoke at some length on the acqui-
sition of California and the events
leading UP to it. In the outset the
speaker congratulated the parlor upon
the name 1t had selected and paid a
tribute to Past Grand President
Eliza d. Keith. the granddaughter of
a pioneer and herself public-spirited
citizen actively engaged in the perpet-
uation of the history of the State of
her birth, in fact a historian through
her landmarks reports. Major Sher-
mans lecture was listened to with
marked attention, and 1t proved very
interesting. particularly from the fact
that 1t was the narration of one who
took part in the events Of the times
During the evening the lecturer exhib-
tied pictures of the Sloat monument as
it will appear when finished He then
presented set Of these pictures to the
parlor, which were received and gra-
ciously accepted by Meta Kugler, the
president, who then called on Past
Grand President Keith for a few re-
marks. This lady extolled the
work of the lecturer in the
matter of the Sloat monument
and called attention to the fact
that the first stone contributed for that
monument was from the Native

cisco office, has returned from the su-
preme session held at Los Angeles re-
Gently and is again at his desk. There
was no change made in the personnel
of the supreme officers and it was found
that there was no need of new legis-
lation. The reports presented show a

$4,000. The order now has its offices
in the Fraternal Brotherhood home
erected by the order in Los Angeles at
cost of $4,000. 1t is also used by the
lodges in that city.
The supreme body sustained the ac-
ton OF one OF the local lodges in ex-
pelling a member for insubordination
and It also expelled q member of a
lodge In Oakland for conduct unbe-
coming a member of the order and
for speaking in derogatory terms of
the supreme officers.
The session Of the supreme body was
disturbed by the sudden death of the
wife of Supreme President Dandy,
while he was presiding. The sympathy
Of the supreme body was extended to
the presiding officer and all the officers
and delegates followed the mortal re-
! mains Of Mrs. Dandy to their last rest
ing place.

TERROR OF THE SEA.
Greatest Danger That confronts

Greatest Danger That confronts
Mariners Is the DereIlct.
OF all the spectacles Of the seas,
none is 50 tragic as the derelict, the
errant Of the trackless deep, writes
P. T. McGrath in McClure's. Weird
beyond description is the picture pre-
sented by some broken and battered
hulk, as she swings into view against
the sky line, with the turgid green
seas sweeping over her moss-growD
decks, and splintered fragment Of
mast pointing upward, as if in protest
against her undoing. 1t is sight also
to arouse fear
, For the derelict is the most potent
of all the dangers that threaten the
seafarer. Silent, stealthy, invisible, it
is the terror of the mariner. 1t B the
arch-hypocrite of the deep. Against
it skill of seamanship, vigilance in
watching, avail not Lights and whis-
ties, beams and buoys proclaim the
proximity Of land; the throbbing OF
engines, the noise of shipboard life
tell of an approaching vessel; icebergs
and ice fiCes betray themselves by
their ghostly radiance and surround
ing frigidity OF air. The derelict gives
mo warning, makes no signal. The
first sign of its existence is the crash,
the sickening tremble and quayer Of
the ship suddenly wounded to death.

Hadnt Noticed Birds Absence.

A curious incident happened in
England recently during wedding.
The vicar, supposing the party to be
complete, began the service, quite un-
conscious of the fact that the bride
had not arrived. Instead OF stopping
him the bridegroom, best man and
others remained silent from sheer
nervousness and presently, when the
bride and her father, who had been
delayed, hurriedly entered. The father
quantity apologized by saying: "Ex-
cuse me for interrupting; some mis-
take has been made" Explanations
followed and the service was begun
again.

tite-Hls Eill of Fare.
An interesting experience in the
army method of feeding and catering
for the soldier is at present being
tried on an extensive scale at the
rifle depot, Winchester, England, says
the New York Daily News The old
method of drawing rations in patches
and taking them to the cook-shop has
been suspended and more up-to-date
plan adopted. The kitchen is run on
the principle of a restaurant, under
the charge of master cook--a non
commissioned officer who has been
trained and obtained his certificate at
the army school of cookery.
A menu is drawn up each day, sub
ject to the approval of the quarter
master. and includes hot joints and
vegetables, cold meats and pickles,
and most days various puddings and
sweets. The following is one Of the
days menus: Roast beef, boiled
beef, Boiled mutton, cold roast
beef, cold boiled beef, chops
and tomatoes, meat pies, brown
curry stew and rice, brown stew,
brown or plain soup. potatoes, cab
bage, swedes, turnips, parsnips and
beans and peas; currant roll, date
pudding. boiled rice and currants,
cheese and pickles.
The bill of fare is written on a
blackboard and exhibited at the en-
trance to the cookshop. Each man
fetches his own dinner and selects
what he pleases. The whole Of the
catering is done on the az pence per
day set aside from each mans pay.

II Captain Jim Warren hadn't gone
cunning Tuesday morning But he
did go. he and his friend, Captain
Peter Hawkins, with infinite greater
chance of shooting each other than Of
bagging game, and they were to re-
turn early Wednesday. In the mean
time, Mr.. Crowley, the bookkeeper,
was to look after the affairs of War
rem & Co, importers Of coffee
Wednesday morning arrived with
exemplary promptness, but Captain
Warren did not accompany 1t. Mr.
Crowley was a good accountant but
he was good for nothing outside of
that line and when the fact become
apparent that Captain Jim had not
arrived the executive Of the firm Of
Warren & Co.. became so harassed
with responsibility that he lay the
case before Mrs. Warren.
Mrs. Warren was a pretty woman,
and she was also resourceful. She at
once informed her sister, Janet, that
she was going down to the Office and
assume the management of the busi-
ness until her husbands return.
But. my dear" objected Janet, you
don't know anything about business"
Nonsense" retorted Mrs. Warren,
'it's nothing like as hard as keeping
house. You come down about noon
and weIl have lunch in the ONCE. Itll
be beEter than picnic In the woods"
I'm glad It happened" murmured
Mrs. Warren. as she tripped her way
to the wharf, "itll do Janet good TO
come down. poor thing" AS a matter
OF fact Janet was mopey. She had
been engaged to be married TO Frank
Strong, merchant in the same line as
was Captain Warren. The match was
eminently suitable from whatever
point OF the compass it was viewed
and the problem Of a trousseau for
Janet was troubling the brain Of Mrs.
Warren, when cloud arose on the
horizon Of the pairs relations which
hurled the bark OF love a wreck on a
lee shore. It is useless 10 go into
details. Mrs. Warren ioyally upheld
her sister and stigmatized Mr., Strong
as a wretch. Doubtless Mr.. Strong's
sister, IL he had one, would have es-
poused as loyalty her brothers side
and declared Miss Janet a firt. Be
the fault Of the break whore It be-
longs, Mr.. Strong began assiduous at
tentions to another lady and Janet
wept copiously and moped.
Captain Warren. who viewed these
tender emotions from a grossly ma
terlal standpoint, declared living on
one chocolate cream day was no way
to conquer unrequited love and sug-
gested 5iet Of pork and beans. a
prescription which was treated with
merited contempt by both ladies'.

band, "dong sell anything to that
wretch, Frank Strong; don't speak to

Captain Warren promised readily.
His idea OF navigating the matrimo-
nlal ship was to promise whatever he
was called upon to promise and trust
to luck that his wife would forget
about It,

shocked BY Parrots Profanity.

The residents in the vicinity Of
fashionable Avenue A and Fourteenth
street here will take steps to capture
a "cussing" poll parrot that for sew
eral days has inhabited a tall tree
near the house of Charles E. Annett,
says dispatch from Bayonne, N. J.
Mr.. Annett was greeted yesterday
with, "Hello, uncle! Hello, uncle!"
Thinking one of his nepheWs was
up the tree, he cried back, Better
come down before you fall" and the
parrot answered, Go soak your head,
you blankety blank. blank"
This angered Mr.. Annett and he de-
cided to chase the boy from the tree.
When he found that he had been
fooled by parrot he said things. Dur
ing the day policeman and score Of
boys tried to capture the bird, but she
flew to the topmost branches. There
she was still "cussing" tonight.

She's as trim and trig as the tautest brig
That eer was seen on the sea;
In ner yachting gown from foot to crown
She's fair as q maid can be,
She can reef and tack like jolly Jack
Though the biilows crop and churn,
And she knows the ropes as bard his
tropes
From the bowsprit to the stern.
She is up and out with laugh of doubt
Though the whistling gale be high;
And a deep-sea blue is the witching hue
OF her charming weather eye,
There's not a pink on the oceans brink
In the heart Of blushing shell
That can match the CLINT Of the tender
tint
OF her soft cheeks delicate swell.
All! happy ship that can dance and dip
with her from the dullard shore.
For she's friend to the wind that blown

And the wind that blows before.

"But it's already sold.' expostulated
the worried Mr.. Crowley, "and Mr.

Warren, 'and you do what l tell you,

conversation with the visitor. Pres

perturbed.

"and he's mad as a hornet He wants

Janet turned pale, but Mrs. Warren
boldly informed Mr.. Crowley that she
would confront Mr.. Strong and she
walked into the outer office. closing
the door behind her.

maple sugar industry as carried on in
Vermont may be had from the fact
that at the single station of East
Berkshire Herman Chaffee loaded
twenty-five tons of the sweet and a..
J. Croft loaded eight. At the same
time one buyer alone has gathered up
over forty tons of sugar and two car
loads of sirup. The banner sugar

Cat HeIned Her Mistress.

A Dover, N. H. woman Of very regu-
lar habits is accustomed'to go to the
cellar for potatoes at exactly 11:20
a. m. each day. The other day a
caller interrupted her usual routine
somewhat. The family cat easily
showed uneasiness and after time
disappeared. When the mistress later
went to the stairway in response to
an unusual sound from that locality,
she discovered that the cat had al
ready brought three moderate sized
potatoes from the cellar and was then
struggling with a larger one which
she was trying to carry up the stairs
by grasping one of the sprouts in her
teeth.
