THE LOVING CUPS: AN
ORJECT LESSON.

It was a lovely and gracious
deed, that presentation, yester'
day, by Feliciana Lodge, st.
Francisville, of a silver loving
cup to each of the two Oldest
members of the lodge the
two, who had come farthest
along the roadway of life, upheld
directed and inspired in their
dealings with their fellow-men
by the high and noble tenetS OF
Free-masOnry.
But it was more than lovely
and gracious attention to the
beloved and hOnorcd NestOrS OF
their local lodge. To give a low
ing cup sometimes but means
popularity and esteem. But
these Masons meant more than
that. 1t was to honor Age. 1t
was to mark with more than
passing notice the unusual
record of these two Masons, who
had embraced the order in their
early manhood, and had kept the
faith, unsullied and undimmed
throughout the years. 1t was 10
hold up to brother MasOns an
inspiration and an example, that
if so be that they, in turn, are
SHARED to long life, that they
may also attain to the high ideals
that these grand old men have
kept unspotted from the world
\ And yet again, this presenta'
ton means more; it embodies a
principle worthy of general iml'
tation, and that is, HONOR THE
LIVING. If thy brother dc
aught worthy of honor, praise
him. If thy sister excel, record
her excellency. Honor then
while they live. Flowers anc
tears upon the bier; monuments
busts, mural tablets may honor
the dead and comfort their SOr
rowing kindred. but they do no
compare with hOnOrs shown tn
living. Looking down from
heights supernal, the lmmOrta
may then well see how puny ar
human efforts to reward human
endeavor, while, if these tribute
had come to him, while he, yet
mortal trOd the earth, and wear
ed for a word of praise, hO'
strengthening that word woul
have been!
Honor the living first! "
congratulate the Masonic brOtl
erhood on their exemplifcatio
of this true principle of actor
and their giving to the worl'
yesterday, so beautiful an obje'
lesson

lightfully spent, and it was with
reluctance that the stranger
guests left this idyllic scene to

Park.
For the latter occasion, 20O
sailors had been given shore
leave and these made quite an
imposing show as they strolled
up the long street between river
and park, the length of the two
towns. An immense crowd gath
cred at the park for the match
game between the MiSsissippi'S
crack team and the Felicianas.
The grand stand was packed, and
standing room in the hot sun at
a premium.
The game was a snappy one

wiped out the sting of their de

the Felicianas by a score OF 3 tt

earned victory.

Congressman from FOurth District
VIII Leave for Washington
Next Monday.

FAIRBURY, Neb., Dec. 2.-(Special.)-
Congressman 2. H. Hinshaw, who will
leave tonight with Mrs. Hinshaw for Wash
ington to be present at the opening Of
congress, is very decided in his opinion
that Cannon can never be elected speaker
Of the house agai.
"Ths present republican majority is not
large said the congressman, and It is
not likely that it will be much larger at
the next session. IA present there are
about fifty republicans who can be de-
pended upon to vote and work against the
reelection of the speaker, and this num-
Der will be augmented by a number who
have heretofore been allied with the ma
jority and who are today counted as
friendly to the speaker, so that 1 am con-
fident the so-called insurgents will have
power enough to Illustrate any effort hat
may be-made to re-elect the speaker.
MY opinion is based on interviews which
I have had with congressman from all
parts of the country within the last
month. During my trip with the presiden-
tial party down the Mississippi river re-
Gently, a representative from Kansas said
to me tina he was going to find out on
that trip whether annon would be a can
didate for the speakership again, and that
II he intends to be, he Cthe Kansas con-
gressman) will not ask his people for a re
election, because, ne said, no man could
be elected in his district unless he pledges
himself to vote against Cannon, and the
speaker had favored him so many times
thai he would rather retire 10 private life
than to make such a pledge"

LINCOLN, Dec. 2.-tspeclal)-Governo
S~hallenberger is still going some. Today the
secretary Of state passed favorably on
another bill for $50 for mileage books on
the Burlington. This makes a total of $50
that has been spent for the executive de-
partment for mileage books since January
p To this there should be added S1s5, the
governors expenses to the Seattle exposi-
tlon, to complete his travel expenses for
one year.
Reducing the $3.50 to miles of travel, Mr..
Governor would have to travel 5000 miles
to use up that much money. Reducing
sthl further, II has been just S12 days since
the governor made his first purchase of a
mileage book. To use up all that he has
paid for he would have had to travel at
the rate Of l25 miles a day for every day
since January p. For either the senate or
the governorship that would be going some.
Governor Sheldon, who was defeated for
reelection, spent Ss4s.65 for travel -ex-
penses in two years.
