City without Fires.

Cardiff, Wales, a city with 165, 900
inhabitants, has such thorough protec-
ton from fires, according to United
States Consul Daniel w. williams, that
there is very little demand for appli-
ances to extinguish them. All the pub
lie buildings, many hotels and large
residences are supplied with appliances
for prevention and early discovery
which are frequently tested. those at
the theaters being tested every night.
In consequence Of wholesome building
rules and the street fire regulations
there were only 1913 fires in 1905. OF
these only five were serious and not
one was caused by defective fue.

Treatment of Visitors to the Lodge.
Pythinn Briefs.
Treat the visitors Of your lodge as
you wish to be treated when you visit
a strange lodge. There is a want Of
sociability in some lodges, and 1t Is a
very simple matter to correct. 1t is
often thoughtlessness or tlmidity ON
the part of some members and of ac-
tual inclvllity on the part of others.
In some lodges there are special COM
mittees whose business it Is to re-
ceive, examine Qf necessary and in
troduce visiting brethren, to welcome
them and make them feel at home.
When there are no such committees
some thoughtful brother can make the
visitor feel at ease by stepping up and
giving him a vigorous handshake and
telling him how glad he is to see him.
Then introduce him to other members.
The grand domain of New York has

All the great questions OF the order
are now settled. There are no more
difficulties, no more fears, no more
Misunderstanding to act as hin
drance to the work of the order. The
only thing that now remains to be done
is to begin to grow again. The lodge
should assume the position of sort
of social center in the community In
which 1t IL located. II should afford to
Its members the very best Of enter
talnment features, so that when
member has once attended n meeting
OF the lodge he will he loath to miss
another one. These features should be
of character to make the members
talk about them when Mt their daily
work or at lunch or dinner. These
thoughts ABOUT the lodge meetings and
the questions they involve should Just
come bubbllng up out of n members
Inner consciousness as though he were
full to the overiiowing of these mat
ters. When this sort of condition has
been established then 1t Is time to semi

Callning's
Cruise
By CLARENCE ODELL

Canning, running down the beach,
looked about for the familiar blue and
white tuIban. Somehow he had come
to expect the sight of the odd little
bathing cap, and II was with ii gesture
Of impatlence that he searched the
beach and the little knot Of bathers
clinging to the life ropes.
Ever since the girl had first appeared
on the beach Canning had been inter
ested, She was a splendid swimmer
vastly different from the girls who
clung to the ropes and gave little
shrleks every time n wave rolled In
She headed straight for the raft with
strong, steady strokes and kept away
from the firtatlous group in the shall
lows.
Canning admired her for 1t. and he
was frequently found on the raft

watching the little head bobbng
through the surf to the same goal.
He never had chance to speak. She
was not the kind of girl man spoke
tc without excuse, but of late there
had been sort of friendliness In her
lance as she had climbed to the raft.
More than once Canning had wished
that she might have n cramp-just a
tiny little one-so that he mi ght go to
her rescue and thus break the conven-
tional ice.
She was nowhere In sight today.
The water was unusually rough, and
the life guards were pacing the beach
restlessly instead of occupying their
usual perches, but rough water could
not prevent her from taking her daily
dip, and Canning wondered what the
matter was.
Then suddenly he caught sight Of a
blue and white dot out on the water,
and he strodc into the surf 1t was
reckless for the girl to try to make the
raft in this sea. He wondered that the
guards had not called .ier back.
Once in the water, he advanced with
powerful strokes, following the girl
ahead. 1t was no easy matter for him
to make headway at first, and he Won
dered how she was farng farther out.
She must have been making slow
progress, for he could see that he was
gaining on her. She was not more than
tI.-
and he was some fifty feet behind her,
when suddenly she threw up her arms,
with a cry, and disappeared under the
water.
He fought his way desperately to-
ward the spot where she had disap-
peared and came up to her just as she
rose for the second time.
''Turn on your back" he command
ed. 81 will get you to the float Don't
be afraid"
He caught her just in time, and
slowly he padded with one hand to-
ward the raft. 1t was n difficult mat
ter to get her on the raft unaided, but
the realization that he would have to
work quickly gave him new strength.
She had lost consciousness, and his

lids fiuttered and he knew that he had
won that battle. When at last he was
assured that she was all right he sank
down on the boards beside her to rest
before even trying to signal the life

"You seem to be more exhausted

'Tt must have been hard work getting
