ODD FELLOW EXERCISES.

being present. The speakers out
linedin a striking way the history
and object of the Independent
Order of Odd Fellows and the
growth and wonderful develop
ment of the order.
The first speaker, Rev. W. f.
Acuff, was, no doubt, led by some
all-inspiring thought given him
through the power of his faith in
the order. He said that Noah was
an Odd Fellow; that Odd Fellow
ship is a strong link in the great
chain of human endeavor for those
higher, nobler qualities Of mind
and heart that go to make the true
man; that mans highest duty is to
his family, his country and God;
that fraternalism gives to every
man that comes within its pale a
higher, grander, nobler conception
of life, it's responsibilities and it's
duties, first toward God, second to-
ward man. Brother Acuff made
deep impression upon his hearers,
many of whom wore the colors of
the order.
Captain G. f. Lands, the next
speaker, was unwell, but he made
a very favorable impression. He
delved deep down into the realm
of fraternalism, and showed that
when the principles of Odd Fellow
ship came into existence there was
a timely need for such an organi-
cation; that its wonderful growth
in membership and the great good
accomplished was through the
bountiful outpouring of the bless
ings Of Almighty God who is con-
tinually looking down upon our
actions.
1t was easy for the non-member
of the leading orders to draw the
conclusion that fraternity means
the brotherhood of man, the exem-
emplification of the Golden Rule,
the advancement of morality, the
care of widows and orphans, the
elevation of citizenship, and the
building up of higher ideals of life.
"There is one thing about Odd
Fellows that appeals to every
thinking man, and that is it's sta
bility," says the [. o. OF. News.
"Since it's organization in Balti-
more about ninety years ago the
purpose for which it was intended
has been strictly adhered to. To
those who have been affiliated with
it for years it must be gratifying
to know, that at no time has there
been any great change in it's meth
DDS of doing business.
"Once man becomes a member
be is safe, provided he lives up to
his part of the contract. There
has never been such thing at
as the driving out the old
Did members. In other orders and
particularly in those with insur-
ance attachments, the reverse is
rue. AS a man becomes old, he
seems to become burden, and
while perhaps the old member is
not told in plain words to get out,
lis dues are raised to such an ex-
5ent that he finds it impossible for
nim to stay in.
"This one feature alone should !
stamp Odd Fellowship as the one
grand institution of benevolence. |
There are no large salaries to be
paid to the officers, no great money
reserves to be built up, but all work
together without the hope of fee
or reward in the interest of the
order and for the good of their
fellow man."

INCOME TAX BILL
DRAWN UP FOR TAT 7
Wickersham Frames Meas
ure Not Expected to Pass
This Year.

Plenty Of talk about an income tax
will be heard at the special session OF
Congress, but there will be no legiSla-
tion to that end.
This is the belief of members of Con-
gress who have been giving the sub
Ject close attention In the talks he has
had with members Of Congress, Presi-
dent Taft has made it clear he does not
expect income tax legislation this ses-
sion. In fact, if the position Of Mr.
Taft is correctly understood by those
who have been comforting with him, he
prefers TO have the income tax matter
go over for the present.
He does not want it complicated with
the tariff and would prefer considera-
ton of if at the regular session. In the
meantime he is anxious TO have the mat
ter investigated and agitated.
Representative Stevens of Minnesota
has had a number Of talks with the
President about an income tax. He was
at the White House today for that pur-
pose. stevens made one trip TO New
York TO talk with leading attorneys
there about an income tax, at the re-
quest OF the President.
President Taft has had an income
tax bill drawn by Attorney General
Wickersham and Mr. Stevens is now
going over IT. AS soon as it can be
shaped to suit the President and those
with whom he has been consulting ii
will be introduced by Mr.. Stevens. This
will be done, not in the hope that it will
| be passed this session, but to get some
/ tangible proposition before Congress
| and 10 have something before the Coun
/ try which can be used as the basis for a
| campaign of education.
Mr.. Stevens is convinced that an in
| come tax is feasible. He holds, how
ever, that the bill should be drawn sc
/ that the Supreme Court can knock out
| separate sections without invalidatiue
\ the bin as n whole.

A ViIlainOus Act.

Miss Orpha Mock, who had
been visiting friends IN Cum Der
land county with her aunt, MISS
Minnie Mock, returned to McCon
nellsburg last Saturday. Her
father, John NJ ock, of Tod town
ship, met her here, and he and
his daughter waited until late in
the evening before starting to
drive out to their home. The suit
case containing Orpha's best
dresses, which she had with her
on her visit, was placed in the
rear of the buggy. When they
reached home, they made the dis
covery that some villainous speci
men of human depravity had stol

the contents. When it is consld-
cred that Orpha, thirteen years
old, is motherless and keeping

having reached the age when she
can make clothes to replace the
ones stolen, it makes the CRIME
appear the more desplcable.
