Escorted by the Uniform Rank,
Twentieth Century Company No. 8,
the Knights of Pythias of East Nash
vile commemorated the fOrty-ffth an
nual thanksgiving services with a ser
mon at the First Baptist Church, of
East Nashville. An able and effective
sermon was preached by Rev. Robt.
Satton. The two lodges and two
in full as did their host of friends,
who filled every available space in
the church, listening to this sermon.
The entire afternoon was practically
given over to these religious exer-
cises. Aside from the program and
the sermon at the church, which was
elaborate in its propositions, most of
the attention was given to the Uniform
Rank under the command of Captain
j. r. Shelby and Lieutenants Charles
Vaughn and Hardy Mccullough, The
marching and the drilling OF this com
pany was almost faultless, so well
drilled were they. The financial re-
suits Of the occasion were pleasing

Talk about wireless telephonesl
The Colorado desert goes science
one better in that line. According
to travellers in that neck Of sand
and sagebrush, you can dispense
with any kind Of telephone, with or
without wires, at least up to . GER
tain distance.
Two men a mile apart can carry
on a conversation in an ordinary
tone of voice, particularly if there
happens to be I small hill behind
each, writes Harvey Hall Kessler in
the Travel Magazine. The prevail
ing silence is so intense that II
might be called deafening.
Perhaps, after all, the weirdest
among many strange features Of the
desert is the mirage. We have
camped perhaps and gone to bed
early in the evening with the Their
mometer registering not far below
the hundred mark. We awake
shivering with cold beneath our
blankets, and look toward the east.
There is the slightest suggestion
Of light in the sky there, which as
we watch grows slowly in strength.
A grayish haze marks the horizons
edge, which stands out more sharply
at one point, from which broad,
pale rays creep up and out high
above in the sky. These again
slowly fade as point Of brilliant
light appears at their base. This
point grows to a half circle, then
breaks and runs along the sky line
in surging, golden lake.
Upon the shores of this lake
cities spring up, towers, spires and
solid blocks. These fade into fields
and forests and farming scenes
fields of golden grain, cattle stand
ing in green alfalfa, sheets Of wa

Of the lake separate from Their
bases and float upward, topple oveI
and stand on their heads, their un'
wieldy feet in air.
Soon our lake begins to contract
and collect into a big round ball Of
dazzling brillisnce hung just above
the horizon. Farms and forest dis.
appear. The mountains, as though
abashed at being caught in such n
unseemly attitude by the broad
light Of day, quickly resume theil
normal position, while all the starl
landscape stiaens into unstrring en-

vILLAlNY AND NERVES.
The Rest Cure Might Have Made Nero
Harmless Faddist.

UaruieSS Faodtst.
Many overweight villains of the
past, if they were alive now, would
be subjected to rest cure, which,
though it could not turn them into
good men, might make their vii
lainy less irrational and dangerous.
The worst tyrants Of the middle
ages and the renaissance, the worst
Roman emperors, seem to us incom-
prehensible monsters of iniquity,
men who did evil for the love Of it.
We should understand them better
if we considered how likely their
way of living was to disorder their
nerves. No doubt Nero, even If he
had been brought up in the most
modern way, taught from a child to
take an interest in nature and to
eat only the most wholesome things,
would never have been a very useful
or pleasant pe.son. But he might
have been a harmless faddist or an
innocent if undistinguished minor
poet.
As it was, he was the master Of
the world, with no one to prevent
him from eating and drinking what
he chose or from taking whatever
other unwholesome pleasure he was
inclined to. No doubt he exceeded
in everything and suffered from e1-
treme irritability in consequence.
Unfortunately he could indulge his
irritability without restraint. If
when he felt cross of a morning he
ordered senator to die, the sena-
tor did die. and he heard no more
of it. Moreover, there was always
fear to work upon a tyrant's nerves,
and some emperors became tyrants
because of that fear. Domitian was
a martyr to it, though good man
of business. If he we're a stock
broker Of today no doubt he would
worry himself necessarily about the
state of the markets, and every one
would pity him for his nervousness.
As he was Roman emperor, We
think Of him as a sinister villain,
who killed men for the pleasure Of
it.
We often hear talk Of that terri
BILE taedium vitae from which Ro-
man mobiles suffered. We should
call it nerves now, and our doctors
would prescribe a strict diet and a
course Of golf or gardening for it
But the Roman noble did not know
how to treat it. He made a feast
and drank deep and fast and crown
ed himself with flowers and the
next morning must have felt il
worse than ever. But since he wa;
a Roman noble he is a romantic zig.
