day. Both experiments, equally sue
cessful, were epoch-making in the way
OF propulsive power-the Clearmont with
her side paddles and the new Cunarder
with her quadruple turbines. The mon.
ster did not break the record as expect
ed, but her owners are satisfied that
thep practicability of the turbine for fast
vessels has been demonstrated, and
that this new departure in English ship
building has been justified. The fact
that the Lucitania was able to cross
the Atlantic in FIVE days seven hours
and bfty-four minutes, and was able,
on her maiden trip, nearly to equal the
best transatlantic record, is held TO be
OF secondary Importance. She was not
pushed to make record, and the own
ers are confident that she would be able,
when called upon, to add to her achieve
ments the fastest voyage across the At
lantic. The record is held by boat of
the same line, the Lucania, which the
bigger one passed and left far in the
rear on this trial trip. Sixty-nine
years ago the Great Western crossed
the ocean in fourteen days, which was
record for that time The first Cum
arders made only eight miles an hour,
about one third the speed of the Lusi-
tania. In 1856 the Persia broke the
record between New York and Queens
town by making the run in nine days
one hour and forty-five minutes. In
1866 the. Scotia lowered the record to
eight days two hours and forty-eight
minutes. In 1869 the City of Brussels
still further reduced the time to seven
days twenty-five hours and three min
utes- This record was slightly lower
ed from time to time, until 1882, when
the Alaska crossed in six days eighteen
hours and thirty seven minutes. From
that time on the record has been as

HORSEPLUNGEDTHROUG WINDOW

Running down Ninth Street, Rich
mond, horse attached to a bread
wagon dashed into the big plate-glass
window on the Bank street side of Rue
gers restaurant at night, completely
shattered it, and sent into the air
through sheer fright dozen men who
were lined up against the bar. In the
dining-room twice that number OF peo-
pie jumped from their seats. The noise
was deafening.
The horse hit the window with full
force, broke it into thousand pieces.
and would have jumped into the room
had he not been held by the frame at
the bottom. He was cut and bruised
IN several places and bled profusely.
The crowd at the counter were laugh
ing and talking, and for thatreason had
no warning. Like shot out of a can
non the chestnut head came through,
scattering glass in all directions. With
one accord, the customers dropped their
goblets. Before they had time to think,
the fear of other trouble was over; for
the horse was plunging and doing his
best to back out. Highballs, however,
had gone into the air with the highball
consumers, and within few moments
about five hundred people had gathered.
The twelve men at the counter needed
something in a moment or two tc
steady nerves which had been awfully
ratified.

Gently adopted an amendment barring
from membership in the future all
saloon keepers and bartenders. This
does not effect the present status of
such members of the order. A propos-

bership of the great council was de-
feated, and only past great sachems, as
at present, will be eligible in the future.

WOMEN ARE RIDING AsrRIDE.

Sin few years, if the present move
ment continues, we shall probably see
all the women in the Row riding astride.
This is the conclusion of an old en-
ploye in the Royal Park, London, a
careful observer who has seen the ques-
tion "Should women ride astride?"
raised more than once.
Among the distinguished women who
ride astride at present are Lady Castle
reagh, the Duchess of Westminster, the
Hon. Mrs. Fairburn and Lady Con-
stance Stewart-Richardson Lady Cas-
tlereagh is for the moment the most
prominent exponent of this method in
London, owing to her husband being a
member of Parliament. She looks
charming on horseback, and it takes
some consideration to realize that she
is wearing a divided riding. Costume.
The only comment one hears as she
canters on her dark little mare is,
"How nicely that lady rides!"
There is daily growing number of
girls who put in an hour or two day
riding astride. They include the daugh-
ter of the Duchess of Sutherland, who
is, like the others, in her teens. Curl
ously enough the teachers of riding
are opposed to the system. 1t is one
very easily taught. The girls learn to
ride across the saddle as easily as their
brothers.
They enjoy it immensely and seem to
feel very much more at home than in
the old-fashioned sidesaddle, which ex-
pert riders among the fair sex declare
is tiring to both horse and occupant.

MASONRY TRIUMPHANT.

"And they sing the song of Moses,
the servant of God, and the song of the
Lamb. Rev. Is: g.
When we pass from the narrow con-
fines of the room which represents to
us some of the features of King Solo
mons temple to that Temple mot
made with hands, eternal in the
heavens" what song shall we sing?
Our text is the answer:'The song of
Moses and the song of the Lamb
/. The Song of Moses What was
that?
/ The Song of Patriotism. You
will find its exact wording in Exodus Is.
Miriam, the prophecies, with her tim
brel, led the singing of the host that
had escaped from Egypt through a lane
made dry for them by God across the
Red Sea. Baron Bunsen has said that
modern history began on that memor-
able day.
The day will never come when Ma
sons will forget the song of patriotism
or fail to include in it stanza of eu-
logy for Americas great Masonic sol.
der and statesman and president, who
was first in.peace, first in war, first in
the hearts of his countrymen.
2. The Song of Law. Examine the
Constitutions of nations, the Magma
Charta written in the blood of martyrs,
the decisions of great law courts, and
what name do you find between and
under the lines? Moses. He rises in
isolated grandeur above the law givers
OF all time. The moral law as enun-
ciated by him is as obligatory today as
on the day he uttered it. This, too, is
Masonic song. At no communication
are our members permitted to forget
the laws that circumscribe them.
For what is the furniture of oul
lodges? No matter where they be stu.
ated, in New Yorkor Hong Kong, Ber
lin or Oklahoma, it is the Bible, the
Square and the Compass. What doe:
the Bible mean? Law. The Square Law
The Compass Law.
The Bible is upon every Mason
altar, and its teachings underlie GU,
principles. Go into any lodge room il
the wide world, and you will find th
Book. We sadly fail in our efforts,
am aware, to shape our lives to tn
model it presents, but the fault is al

SEEKING.

If you're looking for grief in your
pathway
Or trouble of any kind,
You'll surely not be disappointed, =
For whatever you seek you shall find.
The seeds that you sow,
Most surely will grow,
And bring forth fruit of their kind.
To pass through this life stunning
flowers,
And gather the weeds by the way,
Is sin against our Creator,
Who gave US much better way,
If you would find joy,
With the weeds never toy,
But pluck the sweet flowers today.
Still look for something better,
More beautiful, cheerful and bright;
Persistently seek and expect it,
And never give up the fight,
Then happiness great,
Will be your estate,
With the pure joys of heaven in sight.
