In Memory of Our Beloved Dead.

Another name is added to the long
list of those who have been promoted
Sister Sarah Helms, an honored and be
loved member of the w. X. &.
Words fail to express the fraternal re-
gard which we gave to her in life, and
also to express our deep sorrow at the
loss we have sustained, both as an order
and individual woman. Sister Helms
was a quiet, gentle woman, who loved
her home and was untiring in her care
for it's best interests, and answering in
her loyalty to each Of the organizations
with which she was affiliated. She has
left as our inheritance the influence of a
practical and beautiful type of christian
womanhood
The Woman's Relief Corps OF Paw
Paw extends sympathy to those most
deeply afflicted and would remind them
THAT life is ever lord OF death,
And love can never lose its own"
1t is also ordered that these resolu-
tons be recorded in our minutes, and
published in the local papers.

the company presented themselves at

Many others of great wealth and beauty
were present and made merry in spite of
the ghost who constantly lowered
near. After the masks were removed
the company enjoyed 500 for some time,
after which refreshments were served.
The affair was unique in every detail
and one TO be pleasantly remembered by
all who were present. AS the gentlemen
were not invited they prepared some
very elaborate costumes and decided to
surprise the ladies, and if possible to ar
rive at the scene of action in time for
refreshments But, owing to the alb
sence of street lights, and their natural
timidity, the plan was given up and the
liege lords hied themselves to the X. of
p. hall and told ghost stories till the
wee small hours.

FLAGS GUARD PROPERTY.
Reading Woman Initiates Barbara Frietchie and Wins Over
 Supervisors.

Reading, Pa.-Mrs. Marie Wagon horst, of Longswamp. proved herself Berks county's Barbara Frietchie.
 Shoot, if you must, this old gray head, but the man who takes one Of the flags away from the front of my property will run up against a bunch of trouble"
 So, in effect, if not in so many words, said Mrs. Wagonhorst when Supervisor Fegley attempted to open a gutter in front of her dwelling.
 No sooner had the official staked out a line for new gutter in front of the building than she secured seven American flags and stuck them in the ground along the line.
 She then procured a shotgun and she took up position on her porch and dared the supervisor and his as sistants to go ahead with their work. After long barley they gathered to- gether the implements of their trade and decamped with more haste than grace.
 Though the field of battle had been cleared, Mrs. Wagonhorst remained on guard for some time.

 But there is something-else What else?" she cried her head thrown back, her eyes, bright as any wild animals searching mine. "Ha! my brother? What of him? What of him, Sir?"
 For him, Mademoiselle-I would prefer that you should tell me no more than l know already" I answered in a low voice. T do not wish to he in that affair. But yes, there is one thing l have not mentioned You are right"
 She sighed so deeply that I caught the sound
 Tt is," I continued slowly. that you will permit me to remain at Coche- foret for rh few days, while the soldiers are here. I am told that there are 20 men and two officers quartered in your house. Your brother is away. I ask to be permitted, Mademoiselle, to take his place for time and to be privileged to protect your sister and yourself from insult. That is all"
 She raised her hand to her head. After long pause: The frogs." she lnuttered, they croak. cannot hear"
 And then, 10 my surprise, she turned suddenly on her heel and walked over the bridge. leaving me there. For a moment I stood aghast, peering after her shadowy figure and wondering what had taken her. Then, in minute or less, she came quickly back to me and l understood. She was crying.

 about to part. the boy we had seen leapt out of the fern and came to meet us. "Hello!" he cried, in sing-song tone.
 We'll" my companion answered, drawing rein impatiently. What is it?"
 There are soldiers in the village" :"
 "Soldiers?" Antoine cried incredu- lously.
 "Ay, devils on horseback" the lad answered. splitting on the ground. Three score of them, From Auch!"
 Antoine turned to me. his face trans formed with fury. Curse you!" he cried. This is some of your work! Now we are all undone. And my mis- tresses! Sacre, If had that gun I would shoot you like rat,"
 Steady fool!" I anwered roughly. q know no more of this than you dol"
 This was so true that my surprise was as great as his. The cardinal, who rarely made change of front, had sent me thither that he might not be forced to send soldiers and run the risk of all that might arise from such move ment. What of this invasion, then, than which nothing could be less con- sistent with his plans? I wondered. It was possible. of course, that the travelling merchants, before whom 1 had played at treason. had reported the facts; and that on this the command ant at Auch had acted. But it seemeed unlikely. He had had his orders. too; and, under the cardinals rule. there was small place for individual enter prise could not understand it.
 One thing was clear, however. might now enter the village as pleased. q am going on to look into this" said to Antoine. Come, my man."
 He shrugged his shoulders and stood still. Not T." he answered, with an oath. No soldiers for me, have lain out one night and I can lie out an- other"
 nodded indifferentiy, for no longer wanted him; and We parted. After this, 20 minutes riding brought me to the entrance of the village; and here the change was great indeed. Not one of the ordinary dwellers in the place was to be seen: either they had shut themselves up in their novels, or, like Antoine they had fled to the woods. Their doors were closed. their windows shuttered. But lounging about the street were a score of dragons, in boots and breastplates. whose short barrelled muskets. with pouches and bandoliers attached. were piled near the inn door. In an open space where there was gap in the street, a long row of horses, linked head to head, stood bending their muzzles over bun dles of rough forage and on all sides the cheerful jingle of chains and brides and the sound of coarse jokes and laughter filled the air.
 As I rode up to the inn door an old sergeant with squinting eyes and his tongue in his cheeks. eyed me inquis- itively. and started to cross the street to challenge me. Fortunate, at that moment the two knaves whom I had brought from Paris with me, and whom had left at Auch to await my orders, came up. made them a sign not to speak to me, and they passed on; but I suppose that they told the sergeant

A STRONGER AND
ACTIVE MARKET
Cash Wheat and Flour Show
Considerable Improvement
i'm Demand

Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce.
April 2S-Shorts were good buyers all
day with a considerable part of the buy
ing of a good character The trade was
more on the merits of the legitimate sit
uation than has been the case for some
time past. All wheat centers report a
good improvement in the cash demand
from millers, especially from the interior
milIers of the Ohio valley and farther east:
The local demand was also very good
with prices on firmer basis. These facts
offset the fact that the weather was very
favorable to the growing crop, and while
the general bearishness of the pit ele-
ment was hard to overcome, it was finally
effected to a considerable extent. There
were reports of rust in southern Illinois.
Texas and Oklahoma also of too dry
weather in the extreme northwestern part
of Minnesota and North Dakota. The
visible on Monday is expected to show the
largest decrease on the crop. our stocks
show a decrease of 5000 bushels for the
week, Duluth 100000 bushels and Port
Arthur and Fort William about million.
The shorts started some covering on the
early curb on the firmer Liverpool ca
bles in the face of our decline here yes

prices had advanced about a cent and the
