RESOLUTIONS OF COINCIDENCE

Whereas, On the 18th day of April 1910 the Angel of Death entered our midst and broke our ranks by taking from us our beloved sister, Dollie Hig- don over the Great Divide to that Grand Lodge where she has gone to meet loved one who had gone before her to that one sweet resting place the Home Beyond the Grave-there- fore, be it
 Resolved, That we, the entire mem bership of Winonah Council No. l, Daughters of Pocahontas, do most sin cerely extend our heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved family, especially those boys and girls who are bereft of a kind, sweet, loving mother. A mother who possessed that kindness which fills ev- cry walk of life with benevolence and peace. One who loved her home and loved ones as no one but a devoted mother can. May these dear ones be consoled by the assurance that the memory of their dear, patient mother will ever be held in sweet remembrance by each of us. With our earnest prayer may the God of grace comfort them with the hope that He~careth for as all and they need only wait brief period when in sweetness and in love they will meet this loved one to depart no more.
 Resolved, That in the death of Sis ter Higdon our council has sustained the 'loss of one of its most devoted mem bers; one who was ever vigilant of its best interests and untiring in her eff forts to sustain the prestige of the Council, of one whose kind and cheer ful demeanor won for her the respect of all. As our Wenonah, she always performed the duties of her office with credit and honor. With sorrow, we re- member that her presence will be missed in the Council Hall and at our social gatherings, but as long as the council fire is kindled by the present members, the memory of Sister Higdon will lin ger in our minds.
 Resolved, That we, as devoted sis ters. bow in humble submission to this sore dispensation. Each member of the Pocahontas lodge feels their bereave- ment, when we remember this sweet, good, gentle loved one. To know her was to love her, and We have lost a loyal sister who always had a pleasant smile and cheerful word for one and all. May the life of this grand, noble sister ever be an example to each mem- Der as we struggle down life's rugged decline, and may we ever look forward to that meeting in the realms of peace and love, where partings are no more.
 Resolved, Therefore, in token of our esteem for our departed sister, we ap- proprately drape our charter for a per iod of thirty days, present a copy of these, our most sincere utterances, to the family, spread them upon the min utes and furnish same to the daily papers for publication.

MIR. CALHOUN IS so POPULAR
Engagements of New Minister So Nu
 merous He Forgets Dates

William J. Calhoun, raconteur, attor. ney and newly appointed minister to China, is becoming so popular on the eve of his departure for his diplomatic post in the Orient that he is sadly be- set to remember his engagements for luncheons, dinners and other affairs when his abilities as a speaker on all subjects are in demand, says the Chi cago News. Mr. Calhoun was scheduled and widely advertised to address mem- bers and guests of a certain well known organization last week. The subject of his remarks was to be "Patriotism in General. v
 This was "patriotic day" at the club, and the members had set much store on the appearance of the United States minister plenipotentiary and envoy eX traordinary as a drawing card. This story is not to relate that MT. Calhoun did not apear, but only to emphasize the fact that his mind is torn with con flicting dates as to his appearance.
 A reporter of the Daily News invad- ed Attorney Calhoun 's office in the Rookery building ahead of waiting list of busy looking men. It was at his quest to obtain in advance the manu- script of his speech on Patriotism. "
 "My speech!" he exclaimed, "What speech9"
 "Why, aren' you going to talk be- fore woman's club today?" queried the reporter.
 The new minister held up his hands with an awakening sense.
 "Well, well!' he exclaimed. CT re- member now. I told Ald-- I would be there today. My goodness, do you know what I was going to talk abOut?'
 "It's talk on patriotism,' he was told.
 "Well, we'll! I remember. It IS about time I thought little about it, isn't it?"
 "You see,' continued the lawyer, CT have become so popular since my appointment as minister to China that invitations to talk on so many subjects have been pouring in on me that l have almost lost track of them. However, I'll have the speech ready in time to- day."

Wisley, in Surrey, an acre of land has been prepared for planting next month with many thousands of strange plants over which there has been much said pro and con as to their suitability for salad construction.
 "We will aim by this experiment, ' explained MT. S. T. Wight, superintend- ent of the gardens, "to discover just what varieties of plants can seek popu larity by the salad course. Much has been said about the good qualities of hundreds of plants which only few persons ever really have tested We shall now try everything we can get hold of that in any way can be con sidered as having the smallest chance for salad purposes. The plants and their varieties may run into tens of thousands. A greater portion will be wnu growths and many will be introduced from the continent and America. '"
 ''Looks as Il there would be strong chance of increasing business for the physicians, does it not l' was asked.
 ''Oh, mo- he replied. ''We shall take every precaution and no chances. We shau recommend only those plants which, apart from holding possibilities of becoming popular for salads, can give certificate as being nealthful. '

THE GREATEST BALLAD WRITER
Stephen Fosters Songs Have Stood the
 Test of Years

But one American writer of popu- lar songs who made a business of writ ing songs for living mas ever sue ceeded in striking chord that con tinues Co vibrate irrespective of the passing years, says the Taylor-Trot- wood magazine. ."That writer was Ste- phen Collins Foster.
 C He has been in his grave for Gore than forty-fve years, but 'Old Black Joe, 'Old Uncle Ned and the 'Old Folks at Home appear to be immortal. These, like My Old Kentucky Home, Hard Times Come Again No More, , We Are Coming, Father Abraham, and at least score of others by the same author have become true folk songs-a part of the thought, sentiment and life of the people.
 Foster was born near Pittsburg July 4, 1926, and made his first attempt at composition thirteen years later. When he was only 16 he published the song, Open Thy Lattice, Love- Returning to Pittsburg after few years in Gin, cinnati he fell in with musical club and one night sang song of his own cOmposition-'L Louisiana Belle flor the entertainment of the club members. Its success in the clubroom was so great that the author next produced some of the songs he had composed while in Gin cinnati, among them being Uncle Ned and 70 Susanna.
 'These were communicated by word of mouth throughout the city and be- came general favorites. Encouraged by the measure of local success, he pub lished Uncle Ned in 1S47, but received nothing for it. % Susanna was pub lished soon afterward and for it the author was paid $100. The check re- ceived for % Susanna caused him to embark upon the rather precarious vo- cation of song writer, and for time his productions were turned out with astonishing rapidity, meeting with sale that at that period was unparalleled Of the 'Old Folks at Home 100000 copies were sold, from which the author received $l5,000 in commissions.
 "Many think that this was the most popular song that has ever been writ ten, and it is just as popular today as it was before it lost it's novelty Many of the songs were translated into all the languages of Europe and some of those of Asia and Africa.
 "The last three years of his life were spent in New York, where he died in 1864. 'Old Folks at Home was sung as his coffin was lowered into the grave.''

FENCED OUT

Near Harvard Square in Cambridge, Mass, stands the old elm under which Washington first took command of the American army. Around this tree is an iron picket enclosure, perhaps a couple rods across. One night a man who had imbibed too freely, stumbled against this circular fence. Grasping one picket after another, he groped his way painfully round and round the out side of the enclosure about a dozen times. Finally he sank down in utter despair: "Oh, isn t it awful! Fenced

COMPLAINS on rYRANNY.

DR.. Doremus scudder. through the
columns of the New York Independent,
complains Of the poor facilities at
forded for reaching the Pacific coast
from Honolulu. He is now the pastor
OF the Central church at Honolulu and
alleges that he was obliged to engage
a passage in June, 1909, in order to
sail with good Accommodations under
the American flag in May, 1910. Com
menting upon DR.. Scudder's complaint.
the Boston Transcript says:
The islands can grow only by build
ing up their export trade. Here again
they are held up by the coastwise
shipping laws, and the monopoly
Which these create. Freedom to trans
port products in anything that comes
along, giving the archipelago the ad-
vantage of the science and progress of
the age, is the least that should be
accorded. The benefit accruing to the
United States from the limitation of
this trade to the American flag. DR..
Scudder properly says, is infndtesinaL
1t is no wonder that with such an un-
intelligent handling of the situation the
American stock and the American in
terest in the archipelago are steadily
declining. although DIR. Scudder is too
loyal an American to mention this in
his argument. He does relate. how
ever, that after the long years of AM
eracan influence and the planting of
the American flag there nearly two
decades ago, seventy-hve per cent. of
it's people are Asiatic and Polynesian;
twenty per cent. more are European,
largely Portuguese, while only one per-
son in twenty represents the so-called
American stock. This ratio is not like
ly to be changed in our favor SO long
as our colonial policies are conducted
upon extreme protection principles. II
is In fact an open question whether a
highly protective nation can ever be
a good colonizing power"

An Added Word.


Mr.. Editor: Will you grant me the
privilege of adding a word to what
the press has said Of the pleasant en-
tertainment recently given in the thea
ter by the young people of our city
Through the solicitation of some neigh
borS' children I was induced to buy
tickets therefor and I am sure that
many. especially many parents, must
have been surprised to note the talent
refinement, grace. and, in some cases,
real genius displayed by these young
men and women.
From notes appended to the pro-
gramme learned that the cast of the
lively drama was made up of youths
and maidens whose days are spent in
work in various lines. Looking over
the list, noticed that some of my own
neighbors' children were there, who, as
know, are kept busy day after day in
and the like. Reading further. I dis
covered that for the pleasure. profit,
innocent amusement and mental gain
for such, the two clubs participating
in the theater entertainment had been
formed. That for such are provided
cheerful, light, well-heated rooms,
harmless social intercourse, the safe
guard of proper guardianship against
the evils of idleness, aimless walking
the streets. unoccupied fingers and
minds.
It was a real revelation to me to
learn that for the young women are
open classes in useful arts; dressmak-
ing, cooking, millinery embroidery,
shirtwaist making. and the like. That
they can go from the grind and mo-
notony of the mill or counter to bright.
cheerful rooms that they can purchase
at nominal cost wholesome substantial
