DANCING in THE GRANGE.

The order of the State Grange prohib-
iting dancing is causing considerable
discussion in the local oranges through
out the State and great deal of feel
ing against the order is being developed.
In many scattered rural communities
the grange is, outside of the church,
the only center where the social life Is
developed. Practically every family in
some of these communities is repre-
sented in that body and the old regime
which allowed dancing after the meet
ing of the grange brought out a large
attendance.
In larger communities since many
other orders with mixed membership
held dances in connection with their
meetings in order for the grange to
compete with them in securing mem
bers, particularly among the younger
people, it was often necessary to use
the attraction of the dance as draw
ing card.
In one grange but few miles from
here the attendance has fallen off near
ly one-half since it was learned that
there were to be no dances in connec-
ton with grange meetings held in reg
ular form. A member of a grange in
another county Informed the Star that
this order of the State grange prohibit
ing dancing was already alternating
many of the younger people in the
families of farmers from the grange.
Undoubtedly the officers of the State
grange thought they were doing wisely
when they promulgated this order but
the general opinion seems to be that
it will tend to cause decrease in the
membership OF the order.-Rockland

Beautifying Cemeteries.

decided step in advance was made last
season in the identifying of the cemetery
al Mason City, Iowa For years it has been
the custom to expend a large sum of
money on plants and flowers (annuals) for
the planting of certai portions of the ceme-
terY These were arranged in set beds, and
on account of frosts could not be safely
placed in the ground until about the last of
May Then, if all went well, there would be
very pretty display for about six weeks
before the frost came again to put an end
to it all. Every spring found things ex-
actly as they were the year before. The
women of the flower committee in whose
charge the work was committed determined
to have at least few perennials and
shrubs. Through the influence of a member
OF the Womens Outdoor Art department of
the American Civic Association the COM
mittee became affiliated with that body and
appealed to it for advice in regard to the
planting of a driveway from the entrance
gate TO the pretty stone chapel, dis
Sance of several rods. There was sent fine
working plan for the effective planting of
this section with hardy shrubs and peren-
malls. The plan was carried out as far as
circumstances would pedmit.
1t was not anticipated that there would be
much of a showing the first year, especially
as the shrubs were not in the ground until
about the middle of May, but by mid-sum-
mer the effect was very pleasing. The
shrubs all thrived marvelousy, and in some
places which would otherwise have been

Office of L'Enfant.

Georgetown is full of historic associations,
many of it's time-worn landmarks are like
old familiar friends, but there stands
queer old-fashioned little house on Bridge
street that has remained until today I'M
known to fame. 1t is said to be the oldest
house in Georgetown, and became the office
of Maj. Pierre Charles L'Enfant when
Washington appointed him chief engineer
to draw up plans for the proposed city to
be called by his name. In this house was
executed the original design for the ma
TONS capital. Washington made frequent
trips from Mount Vernon to consult with
L'Enfant about this design, riding up on his
favorite gray horse and stopping over night
at Suffers Tavern, famous among the
statesmen of those days for a fine tab e,
choice wines and good company. These
consultations were not always harmonious.
There is a tradition that on one occasion
the President SO far lost his temper as to
tear in shreds the carefully drawn plans of
the major. The location of the proposed
capital had been decided upon with the
greatest difficulty, each section of the coun-
try thinking it's claims the strongest, New
York and Philadelphia both making siren
uous efforts to gain the coveted prize.

Honor to Dead War Horses.
From the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
In spite of the fact, or possibly because
of the fact, that the japanese, so far from
being a nation of horsemen, have probably
made less use of horses than any other
even moderately important race not much
below them in intelligence and civilization,
they have felt and yielded to an impulse TO
honor with an elaborate public funeral the
not very large number of these animals
that have given up their lives in the Japa-
nese service since the war with Russia be-
gan. Judging from the brief reports of the
ceremony at Yokohama It was of a char
acter dstinctively Buddhist and included
the bestowal of posthumous names upon
these unhappy victims of a struggle GER
tainly not their own, just as is done for the
human dead by the practitioners of that
gentle cult, but the affair was evidently
much more japanese than Buddhist. and 1t
is very pleasant to see that the men who
are fighting with such desperate and eff
fectual courage against a colossal antag-
onist can find time for paying grateful
honors to humble allies that never received
any such recognition in the occidental
countries where their military assistance
has been much longer utilized and to a
much greater extent.
OF course, the cavalryman everywhere Is
fond of his horse, and, when circumstances
permit, treats him much better than would
be dictated by the mere probabilities of
wholly individual, and in the west no cav
airy horse receives a single official thought
after 1t is dead. But the Japanese are diff
ferent. Feeling what we only see. that war
is for horses a thing even more frlghtful
than 1t is for men, they give the poor
beasts a posthumous reward. What esti-
mate, in their hearts. they place on such a
recompense for such victims ii would be
hard to say-as hard as it is to say what
dogma and doctrine. Most of the edu-
Gated and modern" japanese would smile.
no doubt IL questioned as to the sense or
the utility of ceremonial honors for dead
horses, and they would talk as scientifically
as any of us about the reflex action of such
exercises as the only one of any value, and
vet the chances are that even the most adj
vanced of them mitigates his agnosticism
with incomprehensible reservations and
qualfica tons. They are all poetical, and
that in itself Is a form of piety perhaps not
the least sincere.

L'Enfant Dismissed.
Soon after completing the plat for the city
of Washington, l. Enfant's temper, which
had hampered him from the start, becom-
ing unbearable, he was dismissed and An
drew Elicott appointed in his place.
The new engineer drew a plat in close
imitation of L Enfants. l. Enfant's orig
inal design was, however, preserved and
can still be seen at the Congressional Lii
brary
l. EnfantS career was now ended. JEFF
ferson wrote to the commissioners that he
ought to be rewarded for his services, and
he soon after received communication
from them stating that the sum of 500
guineas had been placed at their bankers to
his credit, and lot near the President S
house was recorded in his name The Of
Tended Frenchman, in answer, sent the curt
reply: You may take back the order for
the money and take no further trouble
about the lot
Later on Washington appointed him pro-
fessor of engineering at West Point but he
declined the position. In the war of 1912,
however, he consented to construct Fort
Washington, which still stands on the
Potomac a few miles below Alexandria,
but he again got into difficulties with his

Theater Ticket "SpecuIators."

From the Chicago Tribune.
1t is not usually supposed that stage life
prevents man from developing out of the
period of callow trustfulness into knowl-
edge and recognition of the wfckedness Of
the world. But both in New York and in
Chicago there are theatrical managers who
are being deceived by INSCRIPTIONS sharp
ers. 1t becomes the duty of the newspapers
to spring to the rescue of outraged inno-
cence.
When a man comes to the box every
day and buys twenty tickets he does not
want them for his personal USE
A few naxims like the foregoing should
be put together and bound neatly into a
portable primer for the use of theatrical
managers andsother guileless folk. Perhaps
there is still another maxim which should
not be withheld any longer, but should
be rushed into the first edition.
after you have been told eighty or a
hundred times that your tickets are being
sold at advanced prices at neighbour g
hotel, cruel world will only jeer at you
when you say that you simply cannot be-
lieve that anybody could be SO unscrupu-
lous."
Dryden once upon time used to write
verses. Among others he wrote these:
All fair without, all innocent within,
She feared no danger for she knew sin.
This was prophecy of theatrical mana
gers, and in our days it is fulfilled. The
scalpers in hotels and bar rooms have a
copious supply of theater tickets every day,
but they go to the theater so much that the
man at the box office never suspects them.
On the principle that a man may be an
unwilling accomplice in what amounts to
steal, it may be here stated in unequivo-
cal terms that certain theatrical managers
are engaged daily in steal Some steals
are legal. Others are Illegal. This one is
illegal. The city ordinances provide that
theater arrangements shall sell tickets at
their face value, and every day, by colIu-
sion with the scalpers, the theater manage
nents are selling tickets at an advance
upon their face value. That is all there
is to it. 1t is petty, gouging, subter-
raneous steal.

AWARD OF DAMAGES APPROVED
Fifty Dollars Per Acre Allowed for
Indian Lands Taken for Railroad
RiRht-of-way.
lFrom a staff Corresnondent.l

WASHINGTON. Oct 19.-(Special Tele-
gram.)-The secretary of the interior today
approved the report of the special agent
sent to the Winnebago and Omaha reserva-
uons to ascertain what damages would
accure by the construction of the Sioux
City Western railroad through that
reservation, The total amount to be paid
the Omahas and Wnnebagoes is $2S,SS7.
The land embraced in the right ofway was
assessed generally at $50 per acre. Prac-
ucally all this amount goes to Indian
allottes through whose land the proposed
railroad runs
The assessment which has been levied
upon the Sioux City G. Western will cost
that railroad something like $500 per mile
simply to reimburse the Indians for the
right-of-way. There are sixty-flve indi-
vidual Indian allottes, who will receive
something over $500 each. This projected
railroad will run through the most valuable
portion Of the Omaha and winneba go
reservations. running north and south along
