POWER oF LIE LODGE.

Out on the western farms. where the
jewellers We're a few years ago work
ing out their material destiny through
trial and tribulation, the lodge mas
reached, and thousands of prosperous
husbandmen drive into the nearest
TOWN once a week or every fortnight
to mingle with the village residents in
society's hall Efforts TO conduct
permanently lodges exclusively for
farmers have not been generally sue
cessful, though in parts of the nation
such orders have met with consider
able prosperity,
From the president of the nation

cination of grip and password en-
thralls. 1t is not that the lodge is a
secret organization, though that is a
part; it is not that its membership is
chosen with caution. though such ex-
clusiyeness undoubtedly makes it more
eagerly sought; IL is not that it gives
direct benefits or that it offers pro
lection to the family when the bread

alone make the lodge popular
Greater than they is the desire for so

church. yet filling place in mems
lives that neither occupies, the lodge
has developed the oldtime guild idea
and fitted it to modern conditions, and
is an institution that exerts a tire
mendous power in business, in politics,
and in society. So rapidly does it in
crease in popularity that it shows
little indication Of ever welding less
power over mems destinies than it
does today.-C. NJ. Harger in Atlantic.

Social wrongs are corrected not by
exposing their results, but by search
ing for and removing thyir causes.
We have preached against lynch law
for a decade, but it increases. The
wisest of American statesmen and pub
lie men are today recognizing the fact
that this preaching law and order will
not make it, that there is no stopping
this fever in our blood until respect
and love for law has taken the place of
apathy. Law to be respected. must be
made respectable. To get for it the
active support OF moral men and wo-
men, to make them willing to fight TO
protect its dignity from outrage, it
must have vitality,-must, as the old
deputy marshal said, have blood and
bones"
1t is because the importance of
vitalizing our criminal law is being
recognized as one of the pressing re-
forms which the country needs, that
men like Secretary Taft and President
Roosevelt are preaching it and urging
it on.-George w, Alger, in Atlantic

part of the scheme that the facts gath
cred by the bureau should be made
public in the newspapers This course
has been followed until recently, when
the official in charge, Willis Moore
issued an order forbidding newspapers
from having the baromeuic reaulngs

Nobody seems 20 know why this
order was issued. Many people like 10
take the various items OF information
and make forecasts for themselves
and of course the barometer is an i'm
portant factor in such calculations
The only reasonable explanation of the
prohibition is that the bureau tumble:
down SO often that it objects 10 havius
private citizens in position TO reaci
cleverer guesses from the same premi
SEES. Whatever the reason, the actor
is petty and probably unlawful. Tn.

He turned slowly from the terrace.
and was half way across the lawn,
when, lover-like, he looked back for a
last glance, and in tina, moment saw
a light flash in the library
The suddenness of its appearance
and disappearance gave him pause, %
as Hamlet says. If a candle it must
have been lit in the room and blown
out He waited, Internationally
and once more the light flashed mys-
teriously.
This time dim suspicion Of some
thing wrong seized him He turned
at once and ran across the lawn To-
ward the house.
Before he gained the terrace he
saw, or rather heard, the library win
dow open. and a tall figure glided
quickly but composedly to the left.
Cyril's heart beat fast and furious,
and, accustomed to tracking in the
bush, he dropped on his hands and
knees, and sped with almost incred-
ible swiftness along the terrace, and
in the shadow of the balustrade But
unfortunately, in his intent watchful-
ness of the disappearing figure, he
overlooked some small Objects
flower pots-and tumDled right over
one OF those useful adJuncJs to the
garden.
Instantly the noiac startled the
pursued, and with a clear hound he
sDrang off the terrace into the nit st
Of the shrubbery; as instantly Cyril
was after him.
But the fugitive was as cunning as
Cyril. Instead of rushing through
the leaves and betraytng his presence,
he waited and glided quietly away
when Cyril was hunting for him a
hundred yards from the place where
he was concealed.
Cyril hunted the place for hours,
long after he was himself convinced
that his prey had escaped him.

FIRST STAGE COACH INTO DEN
YER.

On the seventeenth Of May. 1853.
Denver turned out to welcome the
first through coach of what was des-
tined to grow into the Overland
Mail" an enterprise which. for sheer
American pluck and daring, must be
forever linked with the fame Of the
Pony Express"
Red shirts drifted TO the outskirts
of the hamlet and dotted the hills
around Hard-faced bartenders made
ready for the hottest night that ever
tore the camp loose" The artillery
of holster and saddle boot was unlim.
bered for an ecstatic fusillade. There
was lively betting in dust and mug
gets that the first through stage had
been gathered in by Indians, with
takers as eager to stake their faith
that the scalps of driver and guard
would come through intact
At length a swirl of dust showed
far down the trail 1t grew into a
yellow cloud that crept toward the
eager hamlet Then six mules,
stretched out on the eallop, emerged
from this curtain and behind them
was the numbering, swaying stage
come safely through on time, and
Denver was in touch with the world
where men wore white shirts and
lived in real houses The cheers
that roared a welcome to this heroic
enterprise We're echoed in every west
ern town which hoped and longed for
a link of its own with the home coun-
try, way back east, Outing Maya

Growing Monopoly in Fuel.

1t is believed in the anthracite re-
gion that the coal railroads are elm
mating the independent producers by
buying them out. Seventeen million
dollars is reported to have been paid
for ccal lands within a short time.
Senator Tillman says the Hepburn
bin must contain a stringent prohibi-
ton OF the ownership AID control by

shipped over their liners. But that
