migrant station was not in use and
found that there was some technic l.
ity in the way of using certain funds.
He took the matter IN directly hV

Unless you are an expert boatman,
do not take a boat out on the water
and in no event unless you are able
to control all those who are in it.

At HOT SPRINGS
Delegates Take Trip to Town Where
Order First sprang Into
Existence.

HOT SPRINGS. Ark. September 10.
Yesterday was the big day of thei
eighteenth annual meeting of the Con-
catenated Order of Hoo Hoo, a frater-
nal and social lodge of the National
Lumbermen's Association, which held
its opening exercises yesterday. This
being the ninth day of the month, the
delegates took trip to the town of
Gordon, where the order first sprang
into existence in 1892. The visit was
for the purpose of dedicating hand
some bronze memorial tablet to mark
the place where the order was given
birth. The site was that af the old
Hotel Hall, in the parlor of which
small group of lumbermen met in
1892 and took the initial steps for the
formation of the organization which
has since grown to a membership of
10000, extending practically all over
the world.
The memorial tablet was designed
by Julian Zolnay, the noted st. Louis
sculptor, and was executed at a cost
of about $4,000. The dedication exer-
cises were presided over by the grand
shark of the universe, P. B. Walker

COOK HAD BECOME FIXTURE
much Wonderment at Social Matrons'
Meeting Before the New Mem

1t was almost the unanimous opin-

that it was impossible to keep a cook
more than month without changing.
However," announced the presi-
dent, "if any person present knows
OF an exceptional case let her speak,"
At this the New Member timidly
arose In their midst THE exception
is in my house. she said.
This caused the others to sit up.
"How long have you had your
cook?" quizzed the president.
"Over five years."
For a moment the others stared in
amazement; then heads began to bob
In admiration and more heads began
to swing sideways in vigorous dis
trust of this statement.
rs this cook entirely satisfactory
as cook?"
my husband thinks not, but she
stays, nevertheless"
How do you manage to keep her,
them"
Because she won't CO."
"Aha!"
This ejaculation which escaped from
the presidents mouth was flashed like
magic through the meeting until it
became huge wave.
The president regarded the New
Member with half pity, half scorn.
New Member" said she, the next
moment. instead of advancing a case
in which long-sought solution might
have been found, you expose yourself
as being worse off than any of your
sisters. You show that by allowing
this cook to stay over the month you
have enabled the menial to attain and
hold an ascendancy over you and your
husband-just the thing this society
has so long fought against. No doubt
you rue this day, New MEMBER"
Il do not!" she replied, bridling
through the shifts and tart insinua-
tions that scintillated about her. "for
