Great Schemers.

"These travelling men are great
schcmers when it comes to getting
rooms assigned to them ahead of other
guests who registered first" said a
hotel clerk. "1here We're several guests
on the waiting list for rooms yester-
day. One travelling man came up to
the desk holding his hand to his
stomach, saying he was so sick he
must have room at once. He was
accommodated. In few minutes an
other travelling man who was among
the list of guests waiting for rooms,
came up and said he had boarded a
sleeper ut o'clock in the morning and
tried to get some sleep, but that it ran
into an open switch and gave him such

said he was almost dead with eXhaus-

Barrvmore's Dilemma.

Maurice Barrymore, the once famous
actor, was once in London with new

week after it was supposed to have
been definitely settled Barrymore re-
ceived Il note from the manager ask

the manager said II like the piece,

Juvenile Grannes.

Mrs. Elizabeth Phelps Farnham, lee. turer of Oswego county (N. Y.) Pomo, ma grange and who has given much attention to juvenile grange work, says that some of the best reasons for organizing juvenile granges were based upon the plan of holding them at the same time as the subordinate grange.
 First, many members who would be helpful to the Order and who would find it helpful to them cannot attend unless accompanied by their children; second, the children, in whom all arc interested, add greatly to the interest of the lecturers programme if allowed to enter after the business meeting Is over and are asked to recite, read or sing, as the case may be; third, and by no means the least in favor of the meetings occurring at the same time and place, is the grange atmosphere which the children absorb by attend ing the meetings with their elders and the confidence they gain at an early age by assisting in the work before them. The juvenile grange is the pri- mary grange school where the gran gers of the future are trained for the work of the Order.

NATIONAL GRANGE
 ,erendum, direct nominations, direct elections, proportional representation and the fright tor recall executive off, tcers. The resolution was pressed with great 'Ffgor by the gentlemen from Washington and Oregon, but was not especially favored by the eastern del ,egates, aandt only one or two from the middle 5west seemed inclined to re- 'ceiye it very cordially. Probably a resolution sfavoring the initiative and referendum alone would have been adopted, tbut this one never. The mat ter was gfnally referred to the several state granges for their action, as the delegates did not care to take posi- tion on it without instructions from their various: states. Several of them expressed their; personal views on the question, but refused to allow them selves ito Joe governed by sthose views .saIely.
 While questions. .,of this mature may properly come before the national grange it seems to the locker on that there is a tendency, to deal with ques- tiens that are sreally without the prov ince of the grange; or: are at least not particularly apropos. I refer particu- far4y to the resolutions introduced by the delegate from West Virginia re- strieting the amount of land which any man may own or lease and another ad- vocatfng "a progressive tax on all for tunes above a fixed maximum, either given away in life or bequeathed In death, and, strange as it may seem, both of these resolutions prevailed.
 I am of the opinion that the closer national and state granges confine themselves to such legislation as most directly bears upon the interests of the farmer the better will our Order ful- fill its mission ito theffarmer. Further more, there is not that general discus- sion of resolutions offered in these grange meetings that should be for the highest interest. AS all who are familiar with the workings of the state and national granges know, resolutions are referred at once ito the appropriate committee without discussion. Con- mittees after due consideration present their report to the body either favor ably or adversely, as tthe case may be- and their report is acted upon by the delegates, but scarcely ever with argu- ment or discussion.
 AS to the future, the outlook is most encouraging. Something like 10000 have been added to the membership throughout the United States the past year. It will grow in numbers as it grows in results shown for the farm ers' benefit-American Agriculturist.

THE CRAZE FOR LAND.


 Many's the man-for it is more often due te the husband than the wife-who when gray hairs have come and his body is stiffened with hard work and Rheumatism awakes to a realizing sense that the yearning for the next eighty, the inordinate desire for mere posses sion without regard to consequences entailed upon himself or the members of his family, was most proftless and disappointing ambition. He senses the fact all too late that he can live but one life; that the real worth and value of life consist not in possessing large estates, but reasonable enjoy ment of its advantages and blessings as one goes along when there are still within him and those who journey at his side both the will and the capacity to enjoy. Some of the most miserable and unhappy people we have ever known have been of the class described, consumed with an inordinate desire to possess more stock, more land, have a larger bank account and sacrificing practically everything that makes life worth living, only at the last, when the cup was drained, to realize that it con- tained no satisfying draft but only bitter dregs.
