nessee can make in this grand session
and the impression made upon the del
egates who will attend the Supreme
Lodge.
The first, and possibly most impor-
tant obstacle to overcome in the Grand
Lodge meeting here, is said to be pre-
pairing place where these gallant
Knights can meet and conduct their
deliberations. 1t is true that the local
lodges own piece of magnificent
property on Fifth avenue, North,
known as the Pythian Temple, but it
is calculated that this building is not
spacious enough in which to hold a
grand session, thus the auditorium
idea bobs up for discussion as it has
time and again when such gatherings
meet in Nashville. The only possible
solution to the problem, said a promi-
nent Pythian several days ago, Is to
hold the annual session of the Grand
Lodge in the Odd Fellows Auditorium
at 447 Fourth avenue, North, which
is the most spacious place available
for the Pythians at this time. The
Entertainment Committee and the
Committee of Arrangement are look
ing after these detail matters with a
view to adjusting them in suitable
and satisfactory way. The uniform
rank of the Pythians is expected to
come prepared to give Nashville a
touch of beauty as we'll as some new
military tactics. A grand and impos-
ing military drill to be pulled off at
Greenwood Park. is one Of the ru-
mored features. The beautiful parade
grounds at this resort afford an ex-
cellent opportunity to show to the best
advantage the plumed Knights in
brilliant uniform. They will be put
ting on at this time their best tactics
preparatory to taking in the Supreme
Lodge which meets soon in Kansas
City. 1t seems that the election of
new oficers will be secondary mat.
ter. Judging from rumOrs afloat
there Is not such scramble for office
''T'he good of the Order" seems to be
paramount and all absorbing, however
the meeting itself will tell just what
Is uppermost in the minds OF the Ply
thians in the State Of Tennessee.

BY REV. T. P.BRIGGs.

 Heaven is opening, earth reeeding, on what visions fill my soul, Through the portals 1 am looking, Waves of rapture o'er me roll. Oh how lovely how entrancing!
 k this death? 'Tis sweet to die. There's no shadow, or dark valley, Heaven sown light streams from the
 sky.
 Don sietain me, God is calling, Christ, my Saviour, bids me come, Friends and kindred, all are waiting, Aii are singing Welcome home.s Now has come my coronation,
 For this day l long have sighed, All ny hope of peace and pardon
 Is through Christ the CrueiGed. When l'm gone and safe in heaven, Do not say that am dead, More abundant life possessing shalishafe through Christ my Head And when Jesus comes in glory
 He will elothe His loved ones, all, Wlth those bodies, strong. immortal, Far beyond sins bitter thfall.

Tn a certain theater which makes a speciality Of melodrama there is a large following of gallery gods and very naturally the sky" assemblage is composed ef knowing critics. who are loud in their demands To be pleased. Woe unto the actor who is unfortunate enough to incur their displeasure.
 Recently play with hair raising plot was put on the boards. The hero was evidently new to his part, for hs fumbled his lines badly and spoke ip faltering tone Perhaps it was for this reason that he did not meet with the sympathy of the gallery.
 Just before the crisis of the play the hero clasped his sweetheart in his arms and said:
 Keep a brave heart. my darling The worst Is yet to come"

Death Valley region, which lies north of MohaVe Desert, stretches eastward from the Sierra Nevada, covering large part of Inyo county, Cal, and ex- tending into Nevada. It k named from it's central feature, Death Valley, the lowest point on the continent.
 Al the presenLtime Imblic interest in this desert region, which comprises an area of about 6s eoo square miles, is in- tense, largely because of the discovery and development within 1t ef mines thai are heavy producers of rold. The resources of the desert, however, are not confined lo the precious metals hnl include a wide range of products Of economic value, among which may bc mentioned several valuable salts, in cludirR boraN, soda, gypsum, and com. mon salt, building material, including marble. onA X, brick claSs and cement>. haseF metalss like copper, iron, and lead; and gems, among which are tur- quoise and opal. There products are widely distributed throughout the des. eft counties. and although the exist ence ol >ause ol them in commercial quantities and available form k as vel problematic, others already form the basis ei important industries.
 The wells and springs of the desert fegioa are few in number and very 1T. regularly dietibuted-so irtegnlafly. indeed, that while in some districts watering places occur in groups, in oth- CTS they are 3o to M miles apart. thu sual activity tn railroad work has so stimulated pros peeting that there is large influx Of strangers many Of whom do not fully realize the danger of trav- cling through an arid region, and it k highly important that the springs and other watering places should be located as definitely as possible and described for the benefit of prospectors and other travellers. IL k believed that this urg. ent need for the dissemination of infor- nation in ngard to the location of watering places and The possibility of locating and developing water al other favorable points will be met in part by : report by Gilbert l.. Bailey, which has just been issued by the United States Geological Survey as Water Supply Paper -s4.
 For many years MT. Bailey was ohli- 1 ged te travel repeatedly many oi the 1 main desert roads and trails, and the | information presented in his report l was, in the beginning, intended for his l personal use. The authors acquaint- 1 anee with some of the desert districts | is necessarily more intimate than with 1 others, and the records are, therefore, by no means complete nor are they af | uniform value, but il Is believed thai | on the whole fairly adequate and aecu- rate descriptions are given of most of the better known and more accessible i springs and wells, and that many of | those that are less well known are in- cluded. More than sdo watering places are described and mapped and the map | shows also a number Of the principal roads through the desert. These roads have not been surveyed and only ap- proximate locations are possible, hut the map al feast indicates the usual routes of travel.
