Hints for Those Who Want to

Work.
 If you would he strong and healthy, dig in the dirt. be tiller of the soil.
 'The spade is better instrument for developing strength than whole gymnasium full of fancy apparatus, !" said doctor the other day. The ex- ercise derived from digging in the ground Is especially beneficial for women"
 Everyone can now have a gym nasium of his own. A back yard and a spade is all that is needed. Don your old clothes. go to the cellar and hunt up your spade. Walk briskly to the back yard, all the time swinging the spade vigorously around your head. Select spot of hard ground and insert the spade therein. Before doing any digging warm up by taking a few running high jumps over the spade. Then begin.
 Count your movements thusly:
 One-Would-b athlete takes spade in right hand, jams 1t into the ground
 Two-Places right foot on right side of spade
 Three-Pushes down with right foot.
 Four-Pushes down with right and left feet.
 Five-Prles back spade, loosenins dirt.
 Slx-Lifts spade and dirt out of ground and carries 1t around the house, depositing the dirt in the spot from whence 1t was taken
 Repeat operations until yard is well spaded or would-be athlete is tired.
 As a finish to the exercise would be athlete should jump up and down on the spaded dirt to prepare it for the next days exercise
 The right and left feet should be alternated also the right and left hands, so that the body will be equally developed The operation Is very simple and the equipment SO easy to procure that the new form of exercise seems destined to become very popular.
 Fifteen minutes of this work, fol- lowed by cold bath, Just before go- ing to bed will put the desk weary man In fine physical trim. There is no exercise like 1t to develop every mus cle in the body at once.--Kansas City Juurnal

My dear sisters: l fully realize the hiph honor conferred on me one year ago to-day and l trust by faithful service have proven true to my opn- get,on. and that you do not regret the confidence placed in me, Errors have been made, for no one is infalllple' hut they have been of the head rather than of the heart. There are many things I had wished to accomplish ana though the year has been full or worh there Is yet much to be done.
 To all who have helped to make this A pleasant year, who nave wei oomed me to their homes, also to their lodge rooms, who by their words or kindness and their exceeding courte- sy have made my duties so pleasant I desire to express my thanks have been the recipient Of many beautiful presents, which will always keen me in mind of the loving hearts that wished to give mo pleasure,
 The work throughout the order Is fairly good, but could be improved m. There are a few suggestions l would like to make.
 First--That all the officers also tho members, study and understand the constitution and bylaws. This will do away with many unnecessary ques- tions.
 second-That the officers memorize the ritual work.
 Third-That the open Bible be on the altar where the candidate re- receives the obligation from our chap lain, It Is more impressive and adds sacred meaning that Is lasting
 would suggest that our obligation be read over occasionally when there Is no lntiatory work.
 During the year that has passed death has entered into some of our homes Voices that we loved to hear are silent Let us therefore live so that we can join them In that better land where all shall answer at the great roll call. Far away in the sum shine are my highest aspirations. l cannot reach them, but l can look and see their beauty can try to fol- low where they lead.

AT THE GRAND.


 Thsi evening 1t the Grand Opera House Otis B. Thayer. celebrated as ono of tho leading comedy players of the contemporaneous stage. will open thRee days' engagement in his fa- nous political comedy. "A Square Deal" Scarcely has there ever been play of tho nature of this one that has aroused an equal amount of dis cussion.
 Tho plot is in the main political but 1t has running through 1t most charming love story that adds just that touch most essential to a suo- ccssful comedy.
 Of the character which MT. Thayer plays much could be said. It is one of those typically American characters that always appeal to tho hearts of an American audience. Even in comedy and particularly in comedy drama. there must needs be a strong plot and in "A Square Deal' there is all the plot that one could desire for play or romance in book.
