The knights OF the Maccabees are

members in the United States and Can
ada. aud the grow OF the order is due
to two things: It's Intrinsic worth in the
cIacs of secret orders and the wise
counsel which prevails in its manage

The Supreme Commander.
Daniel + Markey, the supreme COM
mander is one of the foremost fraternal
leaders of the day, and the Maecabees
are growing under his leadership as per-
haps no ether Of the secret class. OF
course much OF that growth is due to
the real worth Of the great organization
for which ne stands, but by far the
me jos. pat of il is Que TO the personal
ity of the supreme commander himself.
He is man OF attainments and exper-
ience and 4 born leader of men. At the
bar, as a lawyer. he Is recognized as a
leader in local politics his leadership

The Makaroff memorial just issued,

fore the outbreak of the war in the
far East.
The part of Washington which
pleased him best was the National Mu-
scum, where he was under the guild
ance of one of the best-informed an
thropologists in America, the acting
dean, Prof. Otis T. Mason. Prof. Ma
son is as small as he is mighty, but
straight as an arrow, in spite Of his
white hair, and every inch of him a
man. He looked like a picturesque
pocket-edition beside the magnificent
Makaroff, with his broad shoulders
and massive chest and huge beard.
They were standing before the in
complete Russian exhibit. Prof. Ma
son explained several reasons why the
collector had failed to do his duty,
ending, according to his invariable
kindness, with the remark: Il sup
pose we must consider them as ade-
Quate excuse" Instantly Admiral Ma
kafoff replied::- There are plenty Of
reasons, but there is never an excuse
for any failure His deep voice was

Literary Labor.

1t is an interesting study to compare
the different methods of world-famous
authors in producing their works. Vir-
gil, for instance, thought no toll too
laborious in order to perfect his verse !;
his Eclogues occupied him for three
years, his Georges seven, and the
Aeneid no less than twelve. Yet Dry
den translated the whole in less than
three; but then composition and
translation are not quite the same
thing. Our great Shakespeare must
have been a very rapid worker, to
Judge by the voluminous quantity of
his plays; while as for Sir Walter
Scott, he fairly takes our breath away.
Or the other hand, there is Addison,
who used to stop the press in order
to insert comma. But of all remark
able feats. in rapidity of production,
to our mind there is nothing to CON-
pare with that of William Beckford's
"Vathek." Beckford was the son of
an Englishman, one Alderman Beck
ford, leader of the Opposition of the
city of London, in the stormy times of
Wilkes. Yet "Vathek' was written in
French, and written, too, in the course
of continuous sitting Of three DAYS
and two nights, the author sustaining
himself by large draughts of wine.
Beckford is, perhaps, best remember.
ed now as the original builder of Font.
hill Abbey.

Providence ordains that the Curlew
Should be lost I'd see you'd another

pay you hundred pounds to tide you
over until you did get a ship. Then
you could pay it back"
"Wad ye PUT that in writing?". in
quired the skipper.
"Certainly. Give me shilling, Cap
tain.''
Mr.. Thompson wrote rapidly and
then handed the paper to the skipper.
Captain Mcleod read, For the sum
of one shilling, received, insure Cap
tain David Mcleod against the wreck
OF the steamer Curlew on the passage
from Gottenburg to Shields, in the
sum of one hundred pounds.

his precious time and absorbed en-
t1rely his valuable attention.
Something must be done or he was

for Annette? Could he save himself
at all? Could he. If he could at all
it should be for Annette. 1t was worth
while to be saved for Annette; for
himself it would not be worth the su-
preme effort In the case of resolu-
tions as admirable as Wilmington
Whitington's it is a pity that anything
should ever prevent their consumma-
ton, but when we take into considera-
tion that these resolutions were made
in the absence of Rosina we can see
how easily they might, as of course
they did, go awry and lose the name

Wilmington Wilmington please Rosina

with Professor Van Tank and his
daughter, Annette? Behold, here was
a green spot! Yes, he would dine,
gladly, under these conditions.
Wilmington Wilmington on the day
he dined found the conditions as stipu-
lated, but with an unmistakable air of
marriageable thing about. Was Rosina
about to execute some unexpected
masterstroke? Was innuendo to be
used? Was he, Wilmington Whiting
ton, willy-nilly, to be announced? Was
Annette thereafter to count him among
the lost? Alas for his tongue that
clave to the roof Of his mouth! In
the midst of these perturbations Pro.

man lot. In the private gathering

Nobody knew so we'll the inscrut-
able mainsprings that set in order the
beauty, the wit, the sprightliness, the
members of Gold Handle Street-no-
body knew these things SO we'll as
Wilmington Wilmington, and knowing
well the: capabilities of this select
sphere Of the social world. he enjoyed
it's environments and assumed control
Of its destinies, preserved in his task
by an intimate knowledge Of it's many
matrimonial pitfalls.
TO be young and to be fair, in the
catechism of Gold Handle Street, was
to be in love with Wilmington Whit
ington. To be in love with Whiting
ton Wilmington was generally known
to be, with Wilmington Whitington's
own consent, durable; it was an event
against which there seemed no desire
to become immune. Like a spell of
the measles it was serious enough
while it lasted; it was considered in
evitable, and finally mended only
when ended. - F-
Wilmington Wilmington was believed
never to fall in love in return. To
have fallen in love would have put
him beyond the leadership Of Gold
Handle Street society, and beyond the
gentle remembrance of many and
many a Gold Handle Street graduate
whose romantic Renaissance he con-
tinued to be long after they had passed
to wider stages Of action.
At last however, be it known, un-
certain fate decreed that Wilmington
Wilmington should labor in the shadow
Of impending matrimony, for he was
at last profoundly loved by a maiden
that knew not to palter, indeed her
age was ten years or more beyond
the class Of callow maidens to whom
Wilmington Wilmington had so long
made love professionally. 1t was the
second attack, for in fact Rosina
Crosby had fallen under the custom
ary charm Of Wilmington Wilmington
ten years before, and he had counted
that the incident, in the usual diplo-
matte sequence, was closed, indeed
he had always, been led to believe that
Rosina herself treated it as a closed
incident, and was only, alas, unde-
ceived in the ripening stages Of his
association, within the confines of
Gold Handle Street, with the newest
Of it's opening buds, Annette Van
Tank.
The unprecedented vigor with which

and for that reason the more danger

that, though q vestryman, he sWore
deeply and profanely when he heard it,
and even shocked Captain Mcleod,
who had arrived in Shields that morn
ing, by swearing in his presence. .
There's Ma man has the luck of Fer
gus McCliesh,''' muttered Captain Nc,
Leod. Everything turns to siller in
his hands. Awe no sheep, and ma
reinsurance ees ma guid since the Cur
LEWIS saved" 49,.
Mr.. Thompson commended Captains
Mcleod and McCliesh to q region
from which st. Barnabas church was
doing all it could to rescue people
and fell into brown study, from
which Captain Mcleod made no move
to arouse him.
e.. The salvage awarded: Captain Nc
Cliesh was generous one, and Cap
tain Mcleod called to congratulate
him.
"Ye're navigator, Davie," re-
marked Captain McCliesh with a grin.
"A hundred yards above or below
where the Curlew grounded she'd ha'
been smashed like an egg. Mon, ye're
a navigator"
The board did not agree with Cap
tain McCliesh as to the ability of Cap
tain Mcleod as a navigator. They
deemed his being so far out of his
course ground for the removal of his
certificate. Oddly enough, this mis-
fortune did not depress Captain Nc
Leod. He deposited in the bank OF
Aberdeen check for several hun
dred pounds, which check bore the sig
nature of Fergus McCliesh. With this
sum the skipper bought an interest
in a fishing business and gave up the
sea.
"Davie,'' said Mrs. Mcleod, as she
and her husband walked to kirk with
their two daughters, most becoming
ly attired, in front, Il hope ye did ma
get this money in a sinful way"
'Woman," exclaimed Captain Nc
Leod, "wad ye think it sinful to hit
the dell wi a chunk of his own breem~
stone?"
Mrs. McLeod's countenance clea1ed
and she smiled with pride at the ex-
cellent appearance of her two daugh-
ters.
