Honorn Southern Men.

J. B. Ellis who recently returned from the convention of the Supreme Lodge of Knights of Pythias which was held in Boston, talks entertainly of the session of that body.
 Mir. Ellis says that 1t is quite re- markable that notwithstanding the large number of the representatives to the Grand Lodge were from North ern and Western states the eight of ficers are Democrats and that five of the eight officers are from the South. The three of the paid officers of the Supreme Lodge are also from the South.
 On the Board of Control of the Su- preme Lodge which consists of five members. three are from the South. Mir. Ellis from Alabama and the other two from Kentucky and Texas.
 The appointing of Mir. Ellis to the Board of Control. the committee that looks after the financial affairs of the Supreme Lodge and which has con trol of practically all matters. Is quite a compliment to the Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias of Alabama.

HUMIDITY WAS HIGH:
 DAY WAS UNCOMFORTABLE

Montgomery sweltered yesterday in an atmosphere of oppressive humidity. The thermometer did not do anything extravagant. responding only to the overtures of the heat rays and neg fecting entirely the other elements which combined to make the day one of the most disagreeable experienced this year.
 Torches were patronized and clothes were discarded-in compliance. howev- CT, with the city ordinances. 1nactiv- lty reigned supreme, and the rain which was prayed for almost by suffering humanity in the city was inactive. For short while everything presaged a downfall. which yesterday. would have led to an uprising of the spirits of many. but despite the eager, longing glRnces directed toward the sky, and the prayerful invitation thus extended the clements proved pitiless and re- sponded with a lack of liberality that amounted to parsimony. The few drops of rain that fell served only to demonstrate how delightful would have been the many rain drops that did not fall.
 All of the Montgomery cooks were ''overhet,' and those under their min ion felt equally as bad about it. Like wise the animals of the city were af- fected. Horses, dogs and cats display ed disinclinatton analogous to stub bornness when called upon to move. Every spot of shade had an inhabitant. man or beast. and one almost expected. at the sight of a merry widow, to wit ness a procession trailing along In the ample protective influence thus af- forded

clothes are desirable. but not if the pockets are full of unpaid bills. Auto mobiles bubble with Joy, but when the machine reeks equally of gasoline and of mortgage, the exhilaration is dear ly purchased and the self satisfaction fades away.
 Be modest. Be willing to live with in your means. Life can be full of pleasure without extravagance. and stili not be distressingly simple.
 If you earn only a little, spend only little. If you earn much, save reaa- enable amount. You are sure to need 1t. If you are dependent on some one else. let him have a fair chance. Be good for something. and by industry and economy tighten his burdens and learn something of the joy that comes from the consciousness of worth.
 Don't be ashamed to work, even of the kinds that soil hands and clothes and makes the back ache. There are q good many men yet--both old and young--who think a pretty arm looks as we'll with q smudge of flour on it as when encased In a length of leather hose that cost father s4. and that a sweeping cap is sometimes even more becoming than a yard-wide hat.
 Don't be ashamed to carry a bundle on the street or to blaciEen your own shoes.
 Don't think you ought to start nnan- cially where father and mother are. or that it is good for you to start there.
 Learn to be home-makers and home- keepers. Don't let our American homs fade away and be supplanted by the boarding house. Character comes with toll and anxiety. not with ingIorious ease. Simplicity tones 1t up; luxury enervates 1t.
 Tt is difficult for me to look at this sweet cluster of lilies. arrayed mora beautifully than even Solomon in all his glory. and then talk of economy and simplicity, but don't forget nay dear friends. that we whose hearts are now full of you are thinking of your character and the soul that fg within you, rather than of beautiful externals. Good bye. and God go with you"

Grand Chance for Monetary COmmis.
 sion.

BOSton transcript
 The new monetary commission has an opportunity to rise above petty po- litical circumstances. and to make a report which will become a model and a classic. It would be sound public policy to take such action, even If the political obstacles were insurmountable to the adoption of such report by the next Congress. The bullion report was voted down at the first session at which 1t was presented. but we do not hear much now of the wisdom of the major Ity. The Aldtt tch -Vreeland law is linn hed to six years Within that time 1t ought to be possible to complete cam paign of education in favor of mon etary system which would place the United States on an equality with rival commercial nations in the productive efficiency which comes from sound and elastic methods of credit. If the game Is to be played, however. with an eye only to the political necessities of a day or an hour. then 1t Is to be feared that we shall have only some fresh patches put upon the frail. tottering and unsightly edihce of our present system.

Vernon L. Davey, Superintendent of Schools in East Orange. N. J., gave the graduates some practical advice at the commencement exercises.
 Tn his address Mir. Davsy said: This is a time an da place of lavish expen- allure and gorgeous display. Neigh bors vie with each other in extrava- gance, and the family of small means strives to maintain it's position by equalinE the lavishness of the wealthy. I am not a pessimist and would not cry woe and ruin for our republic. but the tendency today Ia toward a reck- lessness in this respect that bodes no good for either individuals or the nR- ton. History and biography are full of mournful examples of the ruin and despair that follow even virtuous prodigality.
