postponement, and local lodges re-
fused because AL arrangements had
been made.

an association known. as the South
ern Illinois association and will meet
April &c at Anna. Ill. The associa-
ton is not expected to live. and To-
cal lodge men predict that the inter
state lodge will be petitioned to take
It back before long.

ing at Metropolis band contests and
other features Will attract many per-
sons and committees have been ap-
pointed by the Metropolis lodge even
this far in advance to prepare for the
visitors reception and entertainment.

The Fraternity building is one OF
the finest office buildings In the city.
1t is well appointed and apparently a
money maker under proper manage

ing of the board of directors wiz be
watched with interest.
1t is not to be understood that the
stock company is in any way inan-
cially embarrassed.
The three hodges OF Odd Fellows
own property on Third street occu-
pied by the Dicke & Hurt saloon. In
event they sell out to the Masonic
bodies, it is probable the rooms up
stairs will be remodeled and used as
lodge rooms.

RAILROAD WORK
Will Keep Labor Well Employed All
Next Summer.


Next Summer.
Labor will be at a premium this
summer in the Ohio valley because of
the floods and heavy rains, especially
on railroads; and already officials are
looking forward to immediate work
on roadbeds. The damage done dur
ing the past several months IN heavy
rains is impossible to estimate. 1t
served to point out weak places in
the road, and will enable the rail-
roads to put their roadbed in the best
of condition, which will necessitate
the raising of grades. All railroads
south of the Ohio were damaged and
section laborers will not have to
search for work anywhere south Of
the Ohio and east of the Mississippi
river.

Nearly !, 1000 persons were in the

WOMEN IN MEDIEVAL TIMES.
In Many Ways They Had Easier Lives
Than Their Descendants.

The women of the sixteenth century
and earlier times had easier lives than
those of our generation. To be sure,
there are a hundred labor saving de-
vices to-day which were unknown to
them. But in at least two important
respects they had the advantage over
their descendants. They waged no
conflict against dirt such as we carry
on from morning till night. The Eliz-
abethan had no prejudice against gar
bage in his front yard, vermin in his
bedroom, decaying rushes on the floor
of his banquet hall, or soiled lace in
his sleeves. The strength of arm and
spirit which now goes to keeping clean
was left to the medieval lady for other
tasks. Moreover, although her cloth
ing was gorgeous-rich with embroid-
cry and lace, and heavy with jewels
it was not subject to rapid changes Of
fashion. The cut of sleeve or the
hang of a skirt was settled for FIVE
years rather than five months. Life
was then free from the modern terror
of looking like a last years rag bag"

SECRETARY PLAYS GOLF AND
FISHES IN CANADA.
Not Considered Great Man by Boat
man-Justice Harlan and Ohiozn
Constantly Chaff Each
Other on Links.

Manor Richelieu, Pointe au Pic,
Quebec.-"The stout gentleman over
there addresses the ball with unusual
vigor and enthusiasm" observed the
Canadian member of parliament,
but" and here he adjusted his eye
glasses, ''if it was his intention to
land on the fifth green he has taken
an easterly direction, while the green
is in the southwest. His elderly COM
panion seems to be making a better
record over the course"
By and by the stout gentleman and
his elderly companion, each trailed by
little Canuck caddy, appeared on the
broad veranda of the clubhouse,
where the Canadian member of parlia-
ment had the pleasure of being for
mally presented to William H. Taft,
secretary of war of the United States
of America, and to Justice Harlan, of
the Supreme court of the United
States of America.
If you were to ask the secretary of
war, as he sits summing himself in the
open, with his cap tilted back from his
broad forehead, what interests him
most in his daily routine of vacation
he would reply, Hardening my mus
cles, training down and tanning my
nose"
To go over the greens, climb the
hillocks and cross the stretch of half
swamp with Taft and Harlan is a treat
to one who likes to study human ma
ture. The two men chaff each other
from the time they set out until they
leave the links with the awful bogy
still unbeaten.
The judge is 70 years old, as straight
as an arrow, with a bald head and
halo Of long, grayish white hair that
sticks out at skies and sevens. His
eye is as keen as an eagles, his pro-
file like Roman and the color of his
cheeks is as red as a cherry He
dresses loosely for golf, an old pair of
baggy brown trousers, heavy brogans,
red golf jacket, duck cap and, as
astonishing as this news may appear
to golfsts, he carries an umbrella.
Creaking wagon springs tell when
Taft goes out to ride. He usually has
his brother as companion on these
I trips, as he also does when he goes to
swim. 1t is in a bathing suit that the
secretary of war appears to the best
advantage The muscles of his great
arms stand out in distinctive rolls so
easily traced that an anatomist might
label them. His chest development is
nearly as pronounced as his girth
While there is flesh in abundance it is
not fiabby If Taft has gained weight
or lost it since he crossed the border
the story told by the scales is kept a
