Trees That Whistle and Weep

In Nubfa there Is curiosity In tree
life. 1t is called the Solar or Whis-
ting tree. When the soft winds blow
through its branches it gives forth de-
Iightful melodies after the manner of
the old time Aeolian harp. For hours
at a time this strange, weird musil
stretches out across the wilderness,
thrilling the listener with mad
fantasy of pleasure. The Nubians
claim that 1t is the spirits of the dead
singing to those who are about to join
them. Scientists say that the music
is caused by millions of small holes
bored by an insect in the spines of the
leaves. Another tree that interests
botaniats is the Weeping tree of the
Canary Islands. This tree, during the
driest weather, will rain down regular
showers from it's leaves The natives
during a drought gather under the
branches and I'LL their buckets The
water is clear and pure.

The convention of the Southern
Commercial Secretaries Association,
which is called to meet in Atlanta July
I and 5, gives promise of proving TO
be one of the most important indus
trial conventions held in the south 10
some years. Its personnel is made up
OF men who are professionally en-
gagged in promoting and exploiting
the south and it's component states,
and whose work has attained dignity
and importance recognized by every
community which is enterprising
enough to place itself before the
financial, industrial and investing
public.
The convention will be presided
over by w. B. Register, secretary of
the Chamber OF Commerce OF Chatta-
nooga, Tennessee. It's secretary, Ed
vim L. Quarels, secretary of the Cham
Der of Commerce Of Peters burg, Va,
also secretary of the Southern Com
mercial Congress, and W G. Cooper,
secretary of the Atlanta Chamber of
Commerce, in conjunction with the
executive committee. are preparing to
make the convention comparable with
that held in Washington, D. c., De-

wealthy cotton planter and business
man OF New Orleans, is president, and

WILL TURN DOWN
ANCIENT CUSTOM
TAFT to Take Oath on Century-0Id
Bible Now in Possession of
the Supreme Court

Washington. March William il.
Taft viii take the oath. of Office as
president Of the United States on the
century-old Bible which belongs to
the supreme court of the United
States. and by it kept in sacred Gus
tody. There is touch of sentiment
in this decision, which Mr.. Taft an
nounced with the statement that had
he becore a member of the supreme
court his oath would have been taken
on identically the same book
During the past few days there
have been many offers of Bibles to
the prospective president. He has not
declined to receive the gifts, but his
answer has been that it will be i'm
possible for him to receive them for
the purpose intended. 1t has been
the custom Of past presidents to use
a new or an historic Bible in taking
their oath of Office, and each has re-
tanned the book thereafter. Mr.. Taft
will make no claim on the Bible OF
his choice, and it will go back to the
archives of the ancient court, for
which there are many evidences Of a
fervent respect and a lingering fond
ness on the part of Mr.. Rooscvelt's
successor.
Precedent in another ancient inaug-
ural detail is to be broken next Tues
day in the intention of President
Roosevelt to go from the inaugural
ceremonies at the Capitol direct to
his train for Oyster Bay and not re-
turn to the White House in the car
riage with Mr.. Taft
In this event there will be va
cant scat in the presidential carriage
on its return to the White House, and
it is now proposed to have this seat
occupied by Mrs. Taft. This decision.
however, has not been made, hut the
subject is under consideration

More Or Less Dependent.

All men are more or less depend
ent. None except those with twist
in their nature can be hermits. Moth
ing relieves more a stricken heart
than true sympathy and in no char
acter is this more beautifully mani
tested than in a true knight except
the great head of all hrOtherhOOds,
even Jesus our eternal friend.
True friendship implies a readiness
to counsel and aid-willing to help in
time of need-the true friend is he
who loves us for what we are and
helps us for our own sakes. Many
who have fallen through misfortune,
have been driven to despair by the
GOODNESS of friends. But if Knights
keep inviolate their obligations, they
are to "rescue the. perishing" and
send them on their way rejoicing by
wise directions and aid in time of
need.

True Friendship Implies Consistency.

Adversely is great test of friend
ship. But the true friend is he who
loves me whatever befalls-one who
turns a deaf ear to those whisper
ing tongues" that poison truth. But
where are such friends to be foundg
Is it not written "constancy lives IN
the realms above?" Yes, but even
among men there have been and are
still bright examples. Six thousand
years ago, God instituted the mar
riage relation and based it on con-
stancy in love. Remove consistency
and you break up homes and destroy
all earthly happiness. The human
race would no longer be legitimately
psrpetuated, homes would be turned
into harems, happiness into woe ane
love into hatred. But charity is a
part of\man's nature, and thus held
by love DUR homes are sustained and
Knighthodd is magnifed because q

lence and charity. Is constant

you will, thoAe two beautiful Bible
characters. DaNd and Jonathan. 1t

it to David, and hiA garments, even

Are Ny Friends, if We do Whatsoever
/ Command YOU"
Mr.. Grafton said;
! know not your signs and symbols
but | know You believe if one COM
mon brotherhood Of man., therefore |
greet you as a brother and bid you
welcome to our worship.
In the beginning let me disabuse the
minds of those who are not Knights
of that false idea that Knighthood, as
well as other secret orders, is only
for revelry and frolic, club room
where men gather and indulge in
matters not of a religious nature.
Nothing is more foreign to the real
purport of most of the orders.
If / mistake not the order Of
Knighthood by It's laws and obliga-
tons makes at least one religious
service yearly obligatory. Am / cor
rect in this? Yet while this is true,
no order can ever take the place of
the Church of Christ. But if you
live up to the rules and regulations
of the order, practise its systematic
way of conducting business, you will
make splendid material for the
church.
