no guile; a man in whose bosom there
pulsated sympathy and love for the
whole human race; a man that even
a little child could approach with i'm.

His was a noble life, full of generous
acts.
He was never happier than when
giving comfort and consolation to
others.
His ever ready smile and cordial

He was sixty-three years old and
was Mason for forty-One years.
He dearly loved the order, and was
prominent In the administration Of its
affairs.
He was an officer during the greater
part OF the forty-one years of his con.
nection with the order, aud his death
is a distinct loss to the Masonic fra.

1t is a very remarkable show
ing that has been made in the
bids for the new 10000 ton A
merican battleships opened at the
Navy Department last week. The
private shipyards and the gov
ernment navy yards all bid on the
new naval monsters, but the pri-
vate firms won by close to a half
a million dollars. There is no
question that there has been some
good work in ship construction
turned out from the navy yards
in different parts of the country.
But it really would seem that
there was no reason why the
same vessel should cost Is or 20
per cent more when built by the
government than when built by
private contract. There is just
one thing to be said, and that is
that the advertisement coming
from securing such a piece of
work would perhaps warrant a
private yard in taking it at the
very bottom figures, possibly ev-
en- at a slight loss. But the pri-
vate firms are not in business for
reputation merely, and it is not
to be supposed that they contem-
plated losing from quarter to
half a million dollars either for
the sake of the advertisement or
for the good of the government.
Representative Calder of New
York, who was naturally anxious
that the Brooklyn Navy Yard in
his district should get one of the
contracts, has appealed to the
Navy department, but it is prac-
tically assured that the work will
be done by the low figuring pri-
vate firms. Perhaps they meant
itlas an object lesson in opposition
to government ownership.

A LITTLE NONSENSE.
Even Though He Was a Murderer He
Gave a Stenographer Good Shave.

According TO the Saturday Even
ing Post, talkative and self f4n-
portant young court stenographer
went with u detailed judge to one
of the feud towns in the kentucky
mountains to tlo his part in holding
a term Of court.
1t was small place, far from a
railroad, and the inhabitants we're
all fcudists of one clan or another.
After day or two at the little hotel
the stenographer said to the hotel
keeper, where's the barber shop"
"Aint no barber shop here," the
bonirace replied. Eve all mostly
lets our hair grow"
''But can't | get shaved any
where"
"Oh, yes, | reckon YOU kin. Un-
Gle Joe down to the cobbler's shop
sometimes shaves folks"
The stenographcr went to Uncle
Joe's and found the cobbler to be d
mild hammered old man. with fow-
ing gray whiskers and pale and
beatitic blue eye.
Uncle Joe said he could shave
him, and he got out razor and a
shaving mug, The stenographer'sat
down on a chair and leaned back.
He waited in some trepidation, but
the old man was skillful and gave
him a good shave.
1t was necessary for the young
man to talk, SO when the barber
was on his throat he said, Good
many murders around here, amt
there?"
"Well, suh," the barber said, eve
don't call them murders. Howsom-
ever, there's some killin's, if that is
what you mean."
"Oh, WE'LL" said the young man,
81 suppose one names as good as
another. When was the last kill
ing?"
"a man was shot out here in the
square last week"
"Who shot hm?"
The barber brought the razor uF
on the young mans Adams apple
Il did," he said.

The Origin Of Etiquette.

The French word etiquette" really
means a label or ticket. How, then,
comes it to denote conventional forms
OF ceremony which is the definition
given in Nuttalrs Dictionary?
1t is said that u certain Scottish gar
dener in charge Of Louis XIV.'s garden
at Versailles was very much put out
because tue cOurtlers walked over his
beds. TO keep Off these trespassers
he placed labels or tickets-etiQuettes
at various spots, with instructions as
to the proper path. At first the
naughty courtiers did not deign to
notice these placards. but hint from
high quarters that their walks in fu-
ture must be within. the etiquettes
compelled their obedience.
Thus. according to the story, origi-
mated our present use of the word eti-
Quette.

At the bluebird's early chirp and the rob
ms merry call
Comes a grand awakening of the flowers
great and small,
Lifting up their dewy foreheads to be
sun kissed by the rays
OF the early morning sunshine setting
everything ahlaEs.
When the gentle south wind murmurs
Mother Nature softly calls:
up! Rejoice. my flower children! Spring
10 here! Old Winter falls"
Then each flowery bud arises and, in
dewy accents sweet,
Answers. I'VE rejoice, dear mother, an4
fair Spring we gladly greet!"
Pussy willows wsken early and their
downy backs display,
While the tall and stately daffodils their
proud heads nod and sway.
Sweet violet Is most modest and droopa
her tiny head
Beneath the woodland verdure on her a6tE
mossy bed.
Tie bluebells and Anemones their tinted
petals nod,
And all fair nature seems to sing sweet
praises to her God.
And every year when Spring appears
these gentle nodding flowers
Awaken and proclaim their jay With IN
the higher powers.

The Raining Tree.

The so called raining tree of the
Canary islands seems to be a special
provision Of Providence for supplying
the people with fresh water, which
they would otherwise be without. A
heavy mist rises every morning from
the sea and rests on the thick leaves
Of the tree. from which 1t falls In
drops during the remainder of the day
until 1t is exhausted. 1t is said that
the water that drops from the tree
furnishes every family on one of the
islands with all they need, and men
are specially employed to collect and
distribute 1t.

At the same time some of the
Illinois representatives in Con-
gress who happen to be members
of the commercial telegraphers'
union, are preparing a bill that
will be submitted to Congress at
the next session, providing for a
thorough investigation of the
whole telegraph problem with a
view to recommending govern
ment ownership or government
control. AS this country is the
only great power in the world
that does not own and operate
it's telegraph lines, there. is E.
nough that is tangible and prac-
tical in the suggestion to make
the commercial companies feel a
little nervous. At the same time,
it must be said to the credit of
the private companies now oper-
ating the telegraph lines, that
the service all round is a good
deal better here than it is abroad.
The government service in Eng
land and her colonies is not first
rate, and the situation on the
continent of Europe, while a lit
tie better, is by no means so good
as in this country, though it
should be remembered that tele-
graph service everywhere else is
much cheaper than it is in Amer.

1t may be a piece of the ordi-
nary Roosevelt luck, or it may
have been something more than
a coincidence that there has been
a big batch of land fraud indict-
ments returned in Denver just
when the Public Land Conven-
ton is getting busy. This con-
vention was worked up originally
by men thoroughly opposed to the
presidents western land policy.
They builded themselves a con-
vention after their own liking in
the City of the Plains. Then
came news of the movement to
Washington, and through some
gentle, underground channel, the
governor of Colorado was moved
to issue invitations to the Secre-
tary of the Interior and a num-
ber of other federal officials all
familiar with the land, forest and
irrigation situation to come and
address the meeting. Of course,
the convention could not decline
to hear them, and the prospect
is that the rank and file of the
assemblage will be won over to
the presidents way of thinking
in land matters. But atop of this
comes the batch of land fraud in
dictments for people high up"
in the land stealing business.
Six of them have been served
with subpeonas and deputy sher-
ifs are out hunting sixtyseven
more victims~ 1t is a very strik-
ing and suggestive incident COM
ing just now as to the wisdom of
having a firm and settled policy
: in dealing with the comparative
ly small amount of government
land still remaining in the west.

Offered choiee Of Seats.

When she entered the car it was
easy to see that she was angry. Her
chin was high in the air, and her lips
were set in a rigid line. The car
was crowded and every seat was oc-
cupied, so she pushed her way up
front with a determination that
gave further evidence of her vexa-
ton. She reached the front end of
the car just as a tall, good looking
man rose and, lifting his hat, asked
in a pleasant voice, won't you have
this seat ?"
'No, 1 won't" she snapped. The
young man was surprised, but sat
down again without speaking. For
about five minutes she rode along,
hanging on to the straps. Then the
car gave a sudden jolt, and she was
thrown unceremoniously into the
young mans lap. She blushed a
vivid red and, struggling to rise,
was almost on her feet when an
other lurch threw her back again.
Madam" he said quietly, in the
same good humored tone, 'if you
prefer this seat to the one I offered
before you are quite welcome to it. "
