An Idyl OF the Autumn.

And don a jumper. glove your hands and

Your moral being See II you can bear
The coming ordeal with a smiling face
No naughty adverbs will you use, I trust
Confine yourself to Goodness mel" and
"Jove!
For now the time approaches when you
must
Put up the stove.
Though the stepladder totters meath your

And jackknives, as stepladders often

Though common language seems made
quate
Just whistle and preserve your temper
still.
Though the loose wire clings like an
octopus
Around your neck and sorrow fills your
cup,
You yet may put, without unseemly fuss
That stovepipe up.
The sections, though your fingers they may
nip,
And fall apart from time to time, may
fit;
Don't jump on them in wrath and tear and
rip,
For such proceedings will not help bit.
The SCOT will wash off in a little while
BE very calm and patient, entreat;
Take ali that happens with a cheerful

Grange
A TIMELY TOPIC.
RELATION OF FOURTH DEGREE MEN,
BEERS 20 NATIONAL GRANGE.

They should Attend Its Meetings
oIutions or Memorials to the Ma
tional Orange For Consideration.
The impression is erroneous that the
national grange is not in direct and
even intimate connection with the
fourth degree members of the Order,
says the national grange lecturer.
All sessions of the national grange, eX-
cept when higher degrees are being
conferred, are held in the fourth de-
gree, and such members are as wei
come as those entitled to the voting
privileges. Under the constitution of
the Order the voting privileges are re-
stricted to the masters and their wives
or husbands of state oranges so as to
give the states most distant from the
place of meeting an equal voice in its
deliberations as those near by, Were
it not for this provision, the members
attending from even a small state
where the national grange assembled
might direct the affairs of the organi-
cation in which the members in all the
states are interested.
The relations of fourth degree men,
bers to the national grange should be
such as to cause them to take an active
interest in suggesting matters for CON
sideration, such matters being trans
mitted through their voting representa-
tives. These may be submitted in the
form of petitions, resolutions or me-
,.,1r, s,,f, 1Nn
referred to the appropriate committees.
The great strength and influence of the
national grange over the strength and
influence of other agricultural Organi-
cations claiming to be national in char
acter lie in the vast constituency
which it represents through actual
membership The national grange is
the representative of that constitu-
ency, but not the constituency itself
1t is therefore of the greatest i'm
portance that the wishes of that con
stituency be made known to the rep
resentative body, and instead of a feel
ing of intrusion in making those wishes
known there should be feeling OF
neglect of duty in not making them
known.
They should also feel Il sense of duty
in attending the sessions of the ma
tional grange when held within rea
sonablc distance. 1t is q familiar say
ing that members of any organization
will go no further in its work than the
officers lead, but it may be said that thu
enthusiasm of members has much Il
do with the zeal and activity of Off
GERS. The attendance of n large mum
Der of enthusiastic members from an!
state constitutes a great incentive t.
the Representatives of that state, a.
well as to the national grange itself
for active interest and zeal in the en-
actment of laws and establishment o
policies governing the organization
The active interest of the people il
promoting any movement is essentia
to the activity of those in charge of tn
movement.

A Kansas Sunset.

IT is the sunset hour, and floods of light
Pour their full radiance DER the western
sky,
Giving the clouds a glory new and bright,
OF crimson robes and zones of Tyrian
dye.
It is the sunset hour, and nature gay
Is hushed in slumber solemn and sublime
AS the last moments of departing day
Drop slowly, gently from the hand Of
time.
Now fades the brightness. and the veil of
night
Enshrouds the splendor of the rosy West;
While all the stars upon their thrones of
light
Glitter like jewels in a monarchs crest.
The brightness fades, and yet lingering
ray
With shining finger touches yonder
height
And links with gold the passing day.
And the still beauty of the coming night.

A Suggestive Programme From n

In the strictly rural districts the

oversight of the schools. Each subor-
dinate grange should appoint members
to visit the nearby schools and report
on their condition to the grange. with
such suggestions as they may see fit to
make. Thus the grange and the school
will be kept in touch with each other.
Occasionally it is Il good plan to ar

The Tree Tavern.

In the Tavern Of the Tree,
Listen to the revelryl
Mark the merry minstrel there,
Seated in his leafy chair.
At his cups the whole day long,
Paying toll with silvery song,
Every draught he takes is drawn
From the cellars of the Dawn;
Fragrant dew from flowery TASKS,
Amber air from fairy casks
Brought from Araby, and bright
With the Orient's golden light;
Spicery of buds and vines
Flavors his delicious wines.
Is it strange his lyrics hold
SO much Of the summers gold?
Rapture of the roses caught,
Into music deity wrought;
Run and ripple Of the riils
All translated in his trills;
Every sweet, enchanted thing
In his gladnoss made to sing.
All, my hooking bird. drink on
Till the happy day is gone;
TIL the pale moon rising up
Drops the stars down in your cup.

That love held out in welcome to our own,
When love and only love could understand
The need of touches we had never known.
Let us be thankful for the longing eyes
That gave their secret to us as they wept.
Yet in return found. with a sweet surprise,
Loves kiss upon their lids. and, smiling,

And let us, too, be thankful that the tears
OF sorrow have not all been drained away,

We may look on the dead face of To-day.

his master to a fire raging inside and
frustrated incendiaries Sunday night.
Immediately before the families in
the district on Lemon street known as
Little Italy had retired the furious
racket made by Valiant aroused the
neighbors. Investigations led to the
discovery of a pile of wood and can
of oil af1re against the side of Galiano's
barn. After the fire had been ex-
tinguished it was ascertained that the
barn had been sprinkled with oil.
Whether the incendiaries intended
destruction of Galiano's property or the
entire neighborhood is not known
Two men were seen running down the
alley a few minutes previous to the

SUBDUED BY SIX POLICEMEN

Dane Braithwait, inmate of the city
JAIL was attacked with a temporary
dementia yesterday afternoon and
during his delirium attempted to COM
NIT suicide by dashing his head against
the iron bars of his cell
The demented prisoner threw his
weight against the bars twice before a
Jail trusty could enter the cell to pre-
vent his self-destruction. The trusty
leaped on the frenzied mans back to
prevent him from doing himself further
violence, but not before Braithwait had
inflicted several severe wounds on his
head and forehead.
The strength exhibited by Braithwait
as he struggled was so great that six
men were required to subdue him and
tie him to a bed. When the struggling
man found that resistance was useless,
he lay back on the bed and shouted de-
fiance to his supposed tormentors,
whom he declared were either going to
hang him or scald him to death.
Braithwait was arrested shortly
after midnight yesterday morning after
a week of high life in Los Angeles. He
showed no symptoms of insanity until
yesterday afternoon. The police sur
geon believes the man is on the verge
of delirium tremens.

QUESTION SETTLED TODAY

Will the police commission revoke
the licenses of the Palace, Bristol and
| Imperial cafes at today's session? This
! is the question over which many citi-
zens of Los Angeles are worrying
at the present time.
well, hardly" answers the business
man. mot on your life," says the
politician. These are two answers
which were made to the above ques-
ton yesterday by men prominent in
civic affairs in Los Angeles.
1t is charged by certain temperance
workers that young women are made
drunk in these cafes. The question
has been hanging fire for many
weeks, but the police commissioners
have promised to settle it today.
Every once in while for years rep
resentatives of certain organizations
have appeared before the police COM
mission and read communications to
the board which alleged that an in
vestigation by the organization showed
that several hundred young women
were made drunk in these cafes every
night.
On the other side, it is said investi
cations by more conservative organiza-
tions failed utterly to establish these
allegations. That there will be large
attendance at today's session of the
commission is a foregone conclusion.
The temperance forces will be there in
large numbers according to the pro-
gram mapped out. There will be others
there also, and not liquor dealers,
either.
In Los Angeles there are many citi-
zens who believe that under the con-
stitution of the state any man or wo-
man has a right to use liquor If he or
she chooses, and who also object to the
closing of resorts which are conducted
in an orderly manner, for the reason
that such closing means that these
same people who frequent places that
are now orderly and law abiding will
pigs"
A we'll known attorney said yester.
day: IT cannot see what right the
police commission has to force a wo-
man to buy meal before she can buy
a drink. The city exists under the
constitution of the state and such
rule by the police commission cannot
be constitutional. 1t would be just as
logical to make a rule forcing the
restaurant keepers to charge women
double prices for drinks. The consti-
tuition gives every man and woman
certain rights and these rights are in
alienable"
